Deacon Reinold (4), eldest son of Captain Reinold (3) and Phoebe (Lee) Marvin, was born June, 1699, in Lyme, and died there Feb. 24, 1761. He owned fifty acres of land in Colchester, probably inherited from his father. He was chosen deacon of the Lyme church in January, 1741, having been admitted a member in June, 1731, and holding a military as well as an ecclesiastical title. He was confirmed as head of the train band of Lyme in October, 1730, and was admitted frfeeman Sept. 14, 1731. In 1729 he was chosen sealer of weights and measures, and town treasurer in December, 1734, being allowed twenty pounds for making the town and county rate. He was grand juror in 1736, surveyor of highways in 1738, and lister in 1739, in which year the town granted him liberty to build a fort on the east side of "Lieutenants' river." In 1750 he had liberty to build a pond on his land adjoining the highway, and was appointed supervisor. He inherited his father's eccentricities, but they became more prominent in his charcter, and the church records show that he sometimes laid himself open to the strict discipline of the time. He, however, kept the office of deacon in good and regular standing to the close of his life.

With all his oddities, which greatly injured the savor of his good name, he is said to have been an honest and benevolent man.

The date of her death is not recorded, but she was living in 1735, when she joined her husband in a conveyance of land.
