MARVIN
MARVIN family includes: John William Marvin (1909-1990) Lawrence Edward MARVIN (1868-1931) and Edward MARVIN (1864-1909) The PARKER family has one of my big problems. Ada Erminnie Parker(1874-1965), married to Lawrence E. MARVIN, is the daughter of John or Charles PARKER and Minnie Augusta GRAHAM. Since Ada lived in St. Joseph County, I can't help but wonder if the PARKER/GRAHAM family ended
up living there, too. I do not have death or family information for them.
