[Ancestral Link: Lura Minnie Parker (Stagge), daughter of Minnie May Elmer (Parker), daughter of Mark Alfred Elmer, son of Hannah Polina Child (Elmer), daughter of Alfred Bosworth Child, son of Hannah Benedict (Child), daughter of Hannah Carter (Benedict), daughter of Hannah Benedict (Carter), daughter of Thomas Benedict, son of Rachel Smith (Benedict), daughter of Rachel Marvin (Smith).]


EAST NORWALK HISTORICAL CEMETERY - CONNECTICUT, Norwalk, Fairfield, Connecticut


Rachel Marvin Smith
The following is copied from the "Connecticut Puritan Settlers 1633-1845:
"Rachel Marvin, daughter of Matthew, sen'r., married Samuel Smith, of Norwalk, and had children, Rachel, who married Thomas Benedict, and Lydia, who married James Lockwood. The descendants of the first and second Matthew Marvin, are very numerous; but owing to a defect in the early records, it is not easy to trace the descendants of any except those of John, who is supposed to be the youngest son of the second Matthew. Samuel, son of the second Matthew, was probably the father of Matthew, (fourth of the name,) who was born October 1702, and who was the ancestor of Hon. Charles Marvin, of Wilton, who has repeatedly been Representative and Senator in the State Legislature of Connecticut."
