THE ARRIVAL OF THE MARBLES IN THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY By Lynn R. Marble,Marble Surname Genealogist, Lynn.Marble@@moa.netspouse: Judith, (~1620 - )These three are not at all "Facts", but loose speculation at best. Fact 1: April 12, 1639, The Marble brother: John, Samuel, Nicholas, and William sailed from London. Fact 2: The Marbles sailed aboard the ship "Jonathan" + arrived in Boston, MA. Fact 3: The Marbles arrived during the "Great Migration" (1630-1642). The whole idea that John, Samuel,Nicholas, and William are brothers is based purely on the fact that records indicate they all show up or appear in Massachusetts in the 1640's. Scant records hint that at least maybe John and Samuel were brothers, but there is no known written records to really indicate that any of the four were siblings or even related at all or even arrived at the same time. This and some other speculation have sometimes been repeated as "facts" due some speculative guesses printed by some earlier authors of previous genealogy documents and books that has been removed from their context by others and stated as fact. No trace has been found of the passenger list for that 1639 passage of the "Jonathan" to Boston. We know of some of the passengers only due to a lawsuit that later took place in Massachusetts Bay Colony during the years following the passage. During that lawsuit some people, including many passengers of the "Jonathan", gave written statements or testified and these remained as part of the court records. It is assumed by many that all those who gave statements in the case were passengers aboard the Jonathan, but that is not the fact.
Since no record of the passage or arrival of these early Marbles seems to remain we can not know if they even arrived in the "Great Migration" of 1639 to 1642, or if some of them may have arrived sooner or slightly later than that time frame. There have also been speculation that some Marbles may have actually arrived in the late 1620's or early 1630's in the port of Salem. I get concerned when so many people state as "fact" what is at best a guess.
A little about John and Judith and their children: Some genealogies list John and Judith as being married in Charlestown in 1643, but I have yet to find any vital record, church, or court records to indicate this location and year. John was listed as a resident of Boston in 1646 when John Jr. was born. The only child for which there is verifiable documentation is John Jr., the other five are designated as children of John and Judith by many sources, but no known documented birth or baptism records exist. There are many early local histories of New England towns that list these six as the children of John and Judith, but with no reference as to their source of the information.
It is thought by Victor Roman (a professional genealogist in Florida) and the late Forest W. Marble of Solon, Ohio, that John (1605) came to America from County Essex, England with a brother, Samuel, in the 1630's. It is thought that John's brother, Samuel, lived for a while in Concord, Ma. (1666) and at some time had a son, Samuel, who married Rebecca Williams in 1686 at Haverhill, Ma. and started the Haverhill line of the Marbles. (This Samuel should not be confused with Samuel (1648), the son of John, who married Rebecca Andrews and resided in Andover) There was also a William and Nicholas Marble, who were thought by some to also have been brothers to John and the elder Samuel. William, age about 40 in 1652, lived in Charlestown, Ma. and Middlesex court records state that he returned to England.

IN MEMORY OF LAWRENCE DUANE MARBLEspouse: Bailey, Mary Edna (1903 - 1987)A SOHIO (Standard Oil Company of Ohio) salesman, Lawrence spent a lot of his life traveling the highways of Ohio. Lawrence had a company car and a family car (57 Chevy Belair Sport Coupe) maroon (a dark brownish red chestnut color). What a car! Always kept freshly waxed and in top condition. On his travels, Lawrence would stop in and visit all his relatives. It was always a thrill for Thera Mae's boys, when Grandpa would unexpectedly drive his shiny car into the driveway. The boys enjoyed the smell of the Marlboro cigarettes, Grandpa would smoke during his visit. After Grandpa would leave, it seemed comforting to run back into the house to smell the lingering smoke, (a reminder of his presence). Grandpa brought a couple of bicycles to Brad and Randy. Bicycling was Brad and Randy's major and favorite pastime. Grandpa would take Thera's boys fishing for blue gills at Mifflin Lake, Knox Lake, and Mohawk Reservoir. Thera's boys would always try to amuse Grandpa; they enjoyed his laughter, a loud broken chuckle. When Thera went to Illinois to comfort her dying father Theodore Roberts, her boys stayed a with Lawrence and Elizabeth, (November 1964). Thera and her boys moved to Mount Vernon, Ohio were Grandpa and Elizabeth (Betty) resided at 105 North Division Street from 1945 to 1985 (40 years). Lawrence Duane Marble retired from SOHIO after having multiple heart attacks, he had been employed with SOHIO for 36 years. He received a diamond headed lapel pin during his retirement ceremony at the Surrey Inn Restaurant in Ashland, Ohio. Lawrence had manage the SOHIO station on the corner of Main and Union Street of Ashland, Ohio for 15 years until October 1945 (pictured at top of page). Lawrence was then promoted by the Mansfield division of SOHIO to be Salesman and Regional Manager with his home base in Mount Vernon, Ohio. His job was to assure SOHIO Stations within his region met the SOHIO image, were well supplied, and provided customer satisfaction. Lawrence got tough when standards weren't met and he was well liked and respected. Lawrence was quite a family man. The oldest son of Duane Pierce and Magdalena Marble, he is remembered well by his brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, children, and grand children.
