INFORMATION NOT VERIFIED BY CURRENT MANAGER OF MEMORIAL
     The Elizabeth who married Matthew Marvin, Sr. was born in 1604, probably in Great Bentley, Essex, England.
     Her maiden name is unknown. Marriage records indicate that she and Matthew married in 1622/33 in Great Bentley.
     Their children were baptized there.
     This data suggests that this Elizabeth was born in Great Bentley, Essex.
     Matthew and his family emigrated in 1635. The emigration list includes his wife Elizabeth (age 31) and 6 children, including a daughter Elizabeth (age 13), which dovetailed with a 1622 wedding.
     Unfortunately, this Elizabeth is often confused with Elizabeth Gregory, daughter of Henry Gregory and wife "Goodie" Gregory. Elizabeth Gregory was born in 1604 in Nottingham, England. She married Richard Webb. After emigration, they lived first in Stratford, CT. Later they moved to Norwalk, a settlement of which Richard Webb and John Gregory (Elizabeth's brother) were among the founders. Elizabeth (Gregory) Webb died in Norwalk in 1681.

     Mary (Brush) Marvin gets confused with Mary (Marvin) Adgate who is Mary (Brush) Marvin's husband's sister. The locations are similar but not verified for Mary Brush.
MARY BRUSH WAS BORN IN ENGLAND ABOUT 1630. THERE WERE NO TOWNS SETTLED IN CT BY THE ENGLISH UNTIL WINDSOR IN 1633, AND THAT'S NOT IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY.

Birth     21 Jul 1700, Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut, USA
Death     25 Sep 1779 (aged 79), Huntington, Suffolk County, New York, USA
Burial     Old Burying Hill Cemetery, Huntington, Suffolk County, New York, USA
     Son of James and Sarah Prime of Litchfield, Connecticut, husband of Margaret Sylvester, father of Ebenezer and Margaret Prime, husband of Hannah Platt, with whom he had two children; Ebenezer and Experience Prime and husband of Experience Youngs with whom he had three children; Mary, Sarah and Benjamin Youngs Prime.
     Clergymen, born in Milford, Connecticut, 21 July, 1700; died in Huntington, L. I., 25 September, 1779. He was the grandson of James, who, with his brother, Mark Prime, came from England to escape religious persecution about 1638. Ebenezer was graduated at Yale in 1718, studied divinity, and the following year was called to Huntington, L. I., where he became an assistant to Reverend Eliphalet Jones. On 5 June, 1723, he was ordained pastor of the same church, which office he continued to hold until his death. A register of the sermons that he preached, with texts, dates, and places of delivery, shows that he prepared more than 3,000, many of which are still preserved. Although he was educated as a Congregationalist, in 1747 his own church and the others in the county of Suffolk formed themselves into a presbytery and adopted the Presbyterian form of government, Mr. Prime being chosen the first moderator. In the war of the Revolution Mr. Prime's church was turned into a military depot by the British, and the pulpit and pews were burnt for fuel. The parsonage was occupied by troops: the pastor's valuable library was used for lighting fires, and otherwise mutilated. Driven from home in his seventy-seventh year, an object of special hostility on account of his decided patriotic opinions, he retired to a quiet part of the parish and preached in private houses, or wherever he could gather his people together. Toward the close of the war Colonel Benjamin Thompson, afterward Count Rumford, was ordered to occupy the village. He tore down the church, and used the materials in building barracks and block-houses in the graveyard. Ascertaining where the venerable pastor lay buried, he directed that his own tent should be pitched at the head of the grave, that, as he expressed it, he might have the satisfaction of treading on the "d old rebel "every time he entered and left it. Mr. Prime is described by a contemporary as "a man of sterling character, of powerful intellect, who possessed the reputation of an able and faithful divine." His published discourses include "The Pastor at Large Vindicated" and "The Divine Institution of Preaching the Gospel Considered " (New York, 1758), and "The Importance of the Divine Presence with the Armies of God's People in their Martial Enterprises" (1759). He also published a sermon, delivered in 1754, on " Ordination to the Gospel Ministry," regarding which he held peculiar views.
