The Marvel Community assembles my research on the MARVELL family of England in the 1500's to John MARVELL the immigrant (circa 1652) who settled in Virginia, further following the line through Maryland, Georgia, and finally to Gibson and Posey counties in Indiana where Prettyman MARVEL migated to in 1809. Prettyman MARVEL's descendents were numerous, originally populating southern Indiana and Illinois, and of course eventaully spreading across the United States.While the primary focus of the Marvel Community is on the descndents of John MARVELL, my research on the ROGERS and WILLIAMS families of Posey County is also listed here as is information on the collateral lines of KNOWLES, MONTGOMERY, and BARR.

Below is a list of the major research questions I am trying to answer on the Marvel family. If you have any clues or information that would help to solve these puzzles please send me an email at marvel@hoosierroots.com.

  • Need verification on date and place of birth of Lavina Rogers, possibly May 2, 1770 in Sussex County, Deleware. Also verify parents - John Rogers and likely Comfort Prettyman.

  • When and where was Elizabeth Williams born? Find documentation for her date of death (Gibson County, Indiana 1843). Believe her father to be John Williams; need verification, as well as name of her mother.

  • Find documentation to verify birth date and determine birth place of Mary "Polly" Young (March 20, 1833 in Indiana, likely Posey County.)
