General Notes: Husband - Elihu Marvin

---

He early developed a taste for business pursuits, and became associated with Gen. David Humphreys, of Derby, Connecticut, in the woolen manufacture. After several years of active prosecution of the woolen business, his health failed and he withdrew from the concern. About 1823, he moved to Ripley, New York, where he purchased a farm and devoted himself to agricultural pursuits. In 1842, he moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, living for a number of years on a farm which included the site of Marvintown. About 1854 or 1856, he laid out part of his farm in town lots, and sold off a large number. About 1864, he built a residence on Tenth street, where he resided until death. He was influential wherever he lived, but had a great repugnance for holding office; he was an enthusiast in favor of schools and as a fruit grower; a liberal giver to the Presbyterian Church, with which he early associated himself. He died having acquired an extensive property.
