This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: MARVIN, TERRELL, DAVIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XW.2ADI/83.108 Message Board Post: I'm looking to find a connection to Henry Marvin's (b.abt. 1866 in Oregon, found in the 1880 Calapooia/Douglas Co/OR census and then in the 1920 Etna/Siskiyou/CA census) father, who is Charles S. Marvin. Charles S. Marvin married Mary E. Terrell 18/Jan/1851 in Whiteside Co/IL. I believe this is the same Charles Marvin who first married Eliza Davis 5/Dec/1837 in Mansfield/Richland Co/OH. He and Eliza had 3 children between 1838 and 1841. Eliza then goes on to marry John Hull in 1844 in Richland Co/OH. John left for the goldfields of California in 1850. Eliza had a sister who lived in Whiteside Co/IL and it is believed that she was in Whiteside Co around this same time. One of my Charles' sons William E. Marvin decided to move from Johnson Co/IA, where he lived his entire life to Benton Co/OR late in life (around 1904). I always wondered if he left because he was joining up with family...this is where I ran into your Charles Marvin. The people and areas are all too coincidental. I wondered if you had more info on this Charles S. Marvin...because I think it is the same as my Charles. Please, Please email me...I would love to jump over this brick wall!! Thank you!! Skye
