• Family: From Marvin Beckwith and His Wife Abigail Clark, 1899, page 10. JAMES BECKWITH was born at New London, June 1, 1671 and baptized Sept. 10, following. From his 6th to his 61st year he lived at Lyme, where, Feb. 18, 1693, he married SARAH MARVIN, youngest daughter of Lieut. REINOLD MARVIN and wife SARAH CLARKE, and granddaughter of REINOLD MARVIN, early settler at Hartford (1635). In 1732 he and his son Samuel bought 200 acres of John Hazen, at Norwich, afterward divided between his sons Samuel and John. In 1744 he appeared at Farmington, and in 1746 gave his remaining rights at Norwich to Samuel. In 1752 he gave to James jr. and Reynold each half the farm on which he then lived, in south parish of Farmington. As this land and house was sold in 1756 to Dr. Henry Skelton, it is inferred that James died in that year; for James jr. is thereafter found at Bristol, and the next mention of Reynold is at Wallingford. Nothing is known as to death of SARAH, but her last child was born in 1717.
