John and his sister Patience were the only children of Prettyman andLavina that were born in Delaware. John was s small lad, some two yearsold, when his parents decided to move to Georgia. Life was not at all what John's father had expected in Georgia. Poorsoil, poor crops, unfamiliar climate and conditions with failing healthmade Prettyman seek a better life for his family. When his father couldput his affairs in order so that they could leave Georgia, John wasalmost fifteen years old. In pioneer days that meant John was almost aman. The decision to immigrate to Indiana Territory preempted a long andarduous journey, lasting between eight and nine months. On that journeyJohn, no doubt, proved just how much of a man he was. When the Marvelshad reached Indiana Territory they found the land to be heavilytimbered. Being the oldest son he was his father's assistant and agent.Each winter was spent clearing trees and undergrowth to put more landinto cultivation. In the fall of 1810, Prettyman had to return to Georgia to finish whatremained of his business affairs. John was left to take care of hismother, brothers and sisters. This meant he had to provide them withmeat by hunting and fishing also protect them from any unwelcomeintrusions from man or beast. John Marvel volunteered to serve in the War of 1812 at the age ofseventeen. He helped to guard the town of Vincennes. John married first, in 1818, to Mary 'Polly' Barr, daughter of John andMary Agnes (Hamilton) Barr (See the Barr Family). The Barr family hadcome to Indiana about the same time the Marvels did. Polly died in 1824and John married second on 19 July 1825, to Elizabeth Williams. She wasthe daughter of John Williams and was a native of Tennessee. She died attheir home in Gibson county, Indiana in 1843 and was buried at Mounts'Station. Since several of his children had moved to Illinois, John leftIndiana in 1865, going to Wabash county, Illinois, near Mt. Carmel,where he also owned land. John died 18 November 1876 in Wabash, Illinoisand is buried in the Friendsville Cemetery.
