Gwen: Clement F. Heverly's _Pioneer and Patriot Families of Bradford County, Pennsylvania, 1770-1825_, page 412-3, shows the following information: "William Marvin, a house carpenter, came early to Pike township from New England to ply his trade. He was an excellent mechanic and lost his life, 1837, by an accidental fall while working upon a house in Towanda. He was the father of five stalwart sons (who's combined height was 30 feet) and two daughters - John G., Francis, Eli S., Edwin C., William, Clarissa (Mrs. Oliver Northrup) and Sophia (Mrs. Stevens). Francis occupied the homestead with his mother, Lucinda; Eli S. went West; William settled in Smithfield. John G., who had received his education at Middletown, Conn., engaged in teaching. In 1840 and '41 he had charge of the Athens academy and was "the ablest and most successful teacher and principal wver at the head of that widely known institution." He read law and in the early '50's went to California where he was chosen as the first superindentent of public instruction. He became eminent in the legal profession and in due time was elevated to the Bench. In hopes of restoring his health he went to Honolulu where he died. Edwin C., like his brother, began his career as teacher and was his assistant at the Athens academy. He subsequently went to Bradford county where he read law and was admitted to the Bar. In the summer of 1853 he started for California, sailing from New York on the ocean steamer "Northern Light." While coming up the Pacific coast the vessel wrecked and Martin and all on board drowned. The Marvin boys are remembered as gentlemen of fine physique, pleasing address, good looking and capable of working "their was through anywhere."
