By George Frankin Marvin & William T. R. Marvin

This 1904 publication is an extension of the 1848 publication that outlines the genealogy of the descendants of two brothers, Reinold and Matthew Marvin, who came to New England in 1635. They were sons of Edw. Marvin of Gt. Bentley, Eng.

The 1902 book focuses on their English ancestry and homes. 

The brothers, Reinold and Matthew, were among the original settlers of Hartford, Connecticut, and were proprietors of land in that early town. Reinold later helped establish the town of Farmington nearby. Accounts of Reinold's sons, John, Reinold, and Samuel, and Matthew's son, Benjamin, provide insight into their lives and contributions to colonial society.

The author's examination of the family's military service, political involvement, and personal connections reveals their profound impact on the development of Connecticut.
