William Marvin, Chester, Nova Scotia, Canada
I am looking for information on William Marvin (Mervin) of Chester (or Lunenburg), Nova Scotia, Canada.He was born in 1746 (place unknown) and died on 8 January 1803.He is buried in St. Paul's Cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He was married to Ann Mary Colson and had 10-11 children.I am interested in learning where he was born, and how he came to settle in Chester, Nova Scotia.Two possible scenarios:he was a United Empire Loyalist who came to Nova Scotia from the United States, or a decendent of John Marvin (Mervin) who came to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on one of the Cornwallis ships with a wife, two sons, and two servants. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated.
