General Notes: Husband - Col. Elisha Marvin

---

He was born at Lyme, Connecticut, and brought up on a farm. About 1792, in company with his brother-in-law, Judah Colt, and his brother Enoch, he settled in Canandaigua, New York. In 1796, Mr. Colt having been appointed agent for the Population Company, both brothers removed with him to Erie County, Pennsylvania, and settled at Colt's Station, in Greenfield Township, where Elisha bought a large tract of land. He was Justice of the Peace in Greenfield for many years, and long one of the most prominent surveyors and farmers in the county.
His title was conferred through his command of a regiment of militia.
