Mareen Duvall “the Elder”, was the second son of Mareen Duvall and his first wife, Mary Bouth. This Mareen “the Elder” was born about 1662 in South River Hundred, Anne Arundel County. It should be noted that his father had another son named Mareen by his second wife, Susannah Brasseur, who he married about 1673. It was common in those days, to name two sons after oneself, if they were by different wives, many years apart. Mareen the elder was born about 1662, Mareen “the younger” was born about 1680.
When he was about 17, Mareen the elder served during 1678 in a minor capacity under Colonel William Burgess, commander of an expedition against the Nanticoke Indians. For his services he was voted 80 lbs of tobacco at the November session of the General Assembly in 1678. This service has been incorrectly attributed to his father, but it should go to this Mareen, “the Elder”, for at that time Mareen’s father was at least 47 years old, too old for active combat unless he was a seasoned veteran or as a commissioned officer. 80 lbs of tobacco was not enough compensation for an officer. Colonel Burgess was voted 6,000 lbs.
Before 1688, Mareen married into one of the most aristocratic families in Anne Arundel County. He took as his bride Frances Stockett, daughter of Captain Thomas Stockett. The exact number of children born to this union are not known, as only one was registered in All Hallow's Parish, but in a statement made in 1720, he referred to his "wife and children''. After the death of his father-in-law, Thomas Stockett, in 1671, Mareen Duvall's mother-in-law married secondly George Yate. Mary Yate died testate, and quoting from her will, proved March 29, 1699, "To my daughter Frances wife of Marein Duvall I bequeath my silver seal in a lozenge shield." This seal was definitely the armorial bearing of her house.
In the will of Mareen’s father in 1694, Mareen the Elder was left almost nothing, but he was a child of his father’s first marriage, grown and on his own. It is also thought that he voiced opposition to his father marrying a young and calculating woman. His father left most of his estate to his younger children, by his second wife, who were between nine and nineteen. He had been living on a small part of the Middle Plantation, but the whole plantation was left to his brother Lewis.
Mareen “The Elder” and his family soon moved to “Vale of Benjamin”, a plantation in Prince George’s County inherited by his wife. In 1701, he had financial reverses and sold some of the “Vale of Benjamin” to satisfy them. His financial difficulties continued and after all his land was gone, in 1720, he was put in debtors prison in Prince George’s County. He was relieved of his debt by the assembly, but everything except their clothing was taken for sale. Mareen apparently died before August 22, 1735, for on that day his son and heir, Mareen Duvall, was accorded the title of "Senior." No will has been found and his estate was apparently settled between his heirs. Mareen was an ancestor of John P. Duvall (Virginia Legislature member).
