BIOGRAPHY OF MAREEN DUVALL
Mareen Duvall was probably born about 1630 in Nantes, Normandy, France. His parents were possibly Thomas Duvall and Nicola Stagard. Not much is known about his early life. There was a Marin Duvall who took a civil post in Rouen on December 2, 1651. It is possible that DuVall served with the rebellious army of the minor nobles in the Civil War known as the Fronde, against Cardinal Mazarin. At that time, a captured insurgent is very likely to have been sold into a period of bondage. Mareen Duvall was brought to Maryland, under bondage, from Nantes, France about 1652. His servitude was bought by William Burgess, who had come to Maryland in 1650. Burgess maintained agents in England and was responsible for transporting a number of settlers to Maryland. If DuVall's term of bondage was five years, being exiled in about 1652 would agree with his release in 1657. DuVall was an educated man and may have been a clerk or similar, working for Burgess during those years. At the end of his bondage, he became a freeholder, married and started his new life in Maryland. On July 25, 1659, Mareen Duvall having completed his period of service and as a freeholder, applied for his rights to 50 acres of land. The following is an exact copy from the original entry:
"Marin Du Vail demands fifty acres of land having performed his time of service with John Covell and brought in by William Burgess. Warrant issued for fifty acres return 25 December next. Warrant renewed to John Jones for one hundred acres return 25 next."
This was a parcel of Land called Lavall lying on the west side of Chesapeake Bay and on the west side of a river called South River Duvall. It is not known whether Mareen actually settled on "Lavall," but by 1678 "Lavall" had come into the possession of George Parker. In 1664, Mareen settled near Col. Burgess in Anne Arundel County, on 600 acres he patented on the South side of the South River, known as "Middle Plantation" and became a successful merchant and planter of that favored section. In 1665, he added 100 acres, known as "Duvall's Addition," to Middle Plantation. During the next ten years, Mareen added much land to his holdings. Mareen Duvall was an educated man. In 1664 he signed his name at an inquest. He was also accorded the title of "Mr." bestowed at that period only on men of rank. Duvall and his family belonged to the Church of England, and later, when the American Episcopal Church was organized, his family continued their allegiance to that church.
Mareen Duvall married soon after his indentureship ended, about 1657. His first wife's name was Mary, her family name was possibly Bouth, who was an heir to Thomas Bouth. He mentioned a "Mary Dewall" in his will of 1672. DuVall could easily be transcribed as Dewall. It is thought Mareen and Mary had five children. Mary died around 1670. He married his second wife, Susannah, about 1671. She was the third and Virginia-born daughter of his compatriot-in-exile, Benois Brasseur, and Marie his wife, she being of The Clifts, of Calvert County. It is thought that Susannah and Mareen had seven children. Looking at a list of his children in his will, it's very easy to make the sixth child, Susannah, the first child of his second wife, Susannah. After the death of Susannah, Mareen married again, Mary Stanton, but had no children with her.
During the 1670s and 1680s, Duvall bought and sold many parcels of land, building a rather large estate. In 1687, Duvall was an appraiser of the estate of William Burgess, who had brought him to Maryland under bondage. DuVall lived out his life on his large estate called "Middle Plantation". DuVall died on or about August 5, 1694. His estate was inventoried and the list was many pages long. His son John was executor and he filed returns showing nearly 1000 Pounds and over 20 tons of tobacco.
Mareen's will was dated August 2, 1694 and probated August 13, 1694; about the time of the removal of the Capitol from St. Mary's to Annapolis. He left his third wife Mary use of his large estate during her life. His heirs, in order mentioned in his will were: his wife, Mary, who inherited a life interest in "Middle Plantation"; son Lewis, who received half of Middle Plantation and the other half after wife Mary's death, and 150 pounds sterling; daughter Elizabeth, who received 150 pounds sterling and 375 acres called "Bowdels Choice" in Calvert County; son Benjamin, who received 150 pounds sterling and 200 acres, which was one-half of "Howertons Range"; daughter Katherine, who received 150 pounds sterling and the other 200 acres of "Howerton's Range; son Mareen the younger, noted as the son of late wife Susanne, who received 150 pounds sterling and 300 acres called "The Plains" in Calvert County; daughter Mary who received 150 pounds sterling and 320 acres called "Morleys Grove" and 370 acres called "Morleys Lott"; daughter Johanna, who received 150 pounds sterling and 311 acres called "Larkins Choice" and 200 acres called "DuVall's Range", both located in Anne Arundel Co.; son John who received 5 shillings, all Mareen's wearing apparel and a silver tobacco box (John was appointed co-executor with his brother, Lewis, and his brother-in-law Robert Tyler); daughter Elizabeth Roberts, who received 5 shillings; son Samuel, who received 5 shillings; son Mareen the elder, who received 5 shillings; and daughter Susanna, who received a silver tankard.
One can easily reconstruct the family of Mareen. The older children, who had already made their way, received little in the way of money or land. These were the children of his first wife. John, Elizabeth Robert, Samuel, and Mareen "the elder". It is also know he had a daughter named Eleanor, who received nothing in the will, perhaps she was also from the first wife and had died by 1694. To explain naming two sons Mareen in the will, it was common in those times to have sons with the same name, born of different wives, who were many years apart in age, probably to ensure passage of the name. Hence Mareen "the elder", born about 1662, and Mareen "the younger", born about 1680. Mareen the younger, along with his full siblings Susannah (obviously named after her mother), Lewis, Elizabeth, Benjamin, Katherine, Mary and Johanna, inherited land and money in their father Mareen's will. They were obviously children of his second wife. There could have been tension between the older and younger children, or it's possible that DuVall was taking care of the younger children, who were not yet adults.
Mareen's widow, Mary, married second Colonel Henry Ridgely Sr., who was old and infirm, as his third wife. She was later to become the wife of Rev. Mr. Henderson, the commissary of the Church of England. One of Mareen's wives was closely allied to John Larkin, a neighbor and enduring friend of Mareen. Of his children, Mareen the Elder, also called "Marius", by his mother-in-law, married Frances, daughter of Thomas Stockett. Capt. John Duvall, who held a large estate, married Elizabeth Jones, daughter of William Jones, Sr. Of Anne Arundel County. Samuel Duvall married Elizabeth Clark, in 1687; Susannah married Robert Tyler; Lewis Duvall married Martha Ridgley, only daughter of the Honorable Robert Ridgely, of St. Inigoes, in 1699.

BIOGRAPHY OF MAREEN DUVALL
Mareen Duvall was probably born about 1630 in Nantes, Normandy, France. His parents were possibly Thomas Duvall and Nicola Stagard. Not much is known about his early life. There was a Marin Duvall who took a civil post in Rouen on December 2, 1651. It is possible that DuVall served with the rebellious army of the minor nobles in the Civil War known as the Fronde, against Cardinal Mazarin. At that time, a captured insurgent is very likely to have been sold into a period of bondage. Mareen Duvall was brought to Maryland, under bondage, from Nantes, France about 1652. His servitude was bought by William Burgess, who had come to Maryland in 1650. Burgess maintained agents in England and was responsible for transporting a number of settlers to Maryland. If DuVall's term of bondage was five years, being exiled in about 1652 would agree with his release in 1657. DuVall was an educated man and may have been a clerk or similar, working for Burgess during those years. At the end of his bondage, he became a freeholder, married and started his new life in Maryland. On July 25, 1659, Mareen Duvall having completed his period of service and as a freeholder, applied for his rights to 50 acres of land. The following is an exact copy from the original entry:
"Marin Du Vail demands fifty acres of land having performed his time of service with John Covell and brought in by William Burgess. Warrant issued for fifty acres return 25 December next. Warrant renewed to John Jones for one hundred acres return 25 next."
This was a parcel of Land called Lavall lying on the west side of Chesapeake Bay and on the west side of a river called South River Duvall. It is not known whether Mareen actually settled on "Lavall," but by 1678 "Lavall" had come into the possession of George Parker. In 1664, Mareen settled near Col. Burgess in Anne Arundel County, on 600 acres he patented on the South side of the South River, known as "Middle Plantation" and became a successful merchant and planter of that favored section. In 1665, he added 100 acres, known as "Duvall's Addition," to Middle Plantation. During the next ten years, Mareen added much land to his holdings. Mareen Duvall was an educated man. In 1664 he signed his name at an inquest. He was also accorded the title of "Mr." bestowed at that period only on men of rank. Duvall and his family belonged to the Church of England, and later, when the American Episcopal Church was organized, his family continued their allegiance to that church.
Mareen Duvall married soon after his indentureship ended, about 1657. His first wife's name was Mary, her family name was possibly Bouth, who was an heir to Thomas Bouth. He mentioned a "Mary Dewall" in his will of 1672. DuVall could easily be transcribed as Dewall. It is thought Mareen and Mary had five children. Mary died around 1670. He married his second wife, Susannah, about 1671. She was the third and Virginia-born daughter of his compatriot-in-exile, Benois Brasseur, and Marie his wife, she being of The Clifts, of Calvert County. It is thought that Susannah and Mareen had seven children. Looking at a list of his children in his will, it's very easy to make the sixth child, Susannah, the first child of his second wife, Susannah. After the death of Susannah, Mareen married again, Mary Stanton, but had no children with her.
During the 1670s and 1680s, Duvall bought and sold many parcels of land, building a rather large estate. In 1687, Duvall was an appraiser of the estate of William Burgess, who had brought him to Maryland under bondage. DuVall lived out his life on his large estate called "Middle Plantation". DuVall died on or about August 5, 1694. His estate was inventoried and the list was many pages long. His son John was executor and he filed returns showing nearly 1000 Pounds and over 20 tons of tobacco.
Mareen's will was dated August 2, 1694 and probated August 13, 1694; about the time of the removal of the Capitol from St. Mary's to Annapolis. He left his third wife Mary use of his large estate during her life. His heirs, in order mentioned in his will were: his wife, Mary, who inherited a life interest in "Middle Plantation"; son Lewis, who received half of Middle Plantation and the other half after wife Mary's death, and 150 pounds sterling; daughter Elizabeth, who received 150 pounds sterling and 375 acres called "Bowdels Choice" in Calvert County; son Benjamin, who received 150 pounds sterling and 200 acres, which was one-half of "Howertons Range"; daughter Katherine, who received 150 pounds sterling and the other 200 acres of "Howerton's Range; son Mareen the younger, noted as the son of late wife Susanne, who received 150 pounds sterling and 300 acres called "The Plains" in Calvert County; daughter Mary who received 150 pounds sterling and 320 acres called "Morleys Grove" and 370 acres called "Morleys Lott"; daughter Johanna, who received 150 pounds sterling and 311 acres called "Larkins Choice" and 200 acres called "DuVall's Range", both located in Anne Arundel Co.; son John who received 5 shillings, all Mareen's wearing apparel and a silver tobacco box (John was appointed co-executor with his brother, Lewis, and his brother-in-law Robert Tyler); daughter Elizabeth Roberts, who received 5 shillings; son Samuel, who received 5 shillings; son Mareen the elder, who received 5 shillings; and daughter Susanna, who received a silver tankard.
One can easily reconstruct the family of Mareen. The older children, who had already made their way, received little in the way of money or land. These were the children of his first wife. John, Elizabeth Robert, Samuel, and Mareen "the elder". It is also know he had a daughter named Eleanor, who received nothing in the will, perhaps she was also from the first wife and had died by 1694. To explain naming two sons Mareen in the will, it was common in those times to have sons with the same name, born of different wives, who were many years apart in age, probably to ensure passage of the name. Hence Mareen "the elder", born about 1662, and Mareen "the younger", born about 1680. Mareen the younger, along with his full siblings Susannah (obviously named after her mother), Lewis, Elizabeth, Benjamin, Katherine, Mary and Johanna, inherited land and money in their father Mareen's will. They were obviously children of his second wife. There could have been tension between the older and younger children, or it's possible that DuVall was taking care of the younger children, who were not yet adults.
Mareen's widow, Mary, married second Colonel Henry Ridgely Sr., who was old and infirm, as his third wife. She was later to become the wife of Rev. Mr. Henderson, the commissary of the Church of England. One of Mareen's wives was closely allied to John Larkin, a neighbor and enduring friend of Mareen. Of his children, Mareen the Elder, also called "Marius", by his mother-in-law, married Frances, daughter of Thomas Stockett. Capt. John Duvall, who held a large estate, married Elizabeth Jones, daughter of William Jones, Sr. Of Anne Arundel County. Samuel Duvall married Elizabeth Clark, in 1687; Susannah married Robert Tyler; Lewis Duvall married Martha Ridgley, only daughter of the Honorable Robert Ridgely, of St. Inigoes, in 1699.
