Last name may be spelled Marrion, Meryon, Merrion. Have a death date of Jan 27, 1705 according to the LDS church.
Buried in King's Chapel Burying Ground, Boston, Mass. He was a cordwainer. "The History of Hampton" lists the following child as being born to John Marion and Sarah Eddy : Elizabeth, who married Henry Dearborn; Hannah, who married Isaac Godfrey; Abigail, probably, who died Sept 25, 1668; John (Probably). I do not have Abigail and Hannah, or Ruth, etc.
The book "A B to Z, a genealogy" by Garrett, says that their children were born either at Watertown or Boston, Mass.
I did have the place of birth as Watertown, Mass. but this cannot be correct. The LDS Church says Steble, England.
