Marindin.
Marindin is a good old Huguenot surname. Pierre Marindin was a refugee from the St. Bartholomew Massacre, and adopted Switzerland as his country. His descendants are distinctly traced in “Burke’s Landed Gentry.” His great-great-grandson, Pierre Marindin, born 1701, was elected a town councillor of Vevay in 1742. Two of the councillor’s sons settled in England, of whom Jean Ferdinand Marindin was childless, but Jean Philippe Marindin (born in 1742) founded a flourishing English family. His grandson, Samuel Peter (born 1778, died 1839) was the father of Rev. Samuel Marindin (born 1807, died 1852), a Dorsetshire rector, but a Hampshire landed proprietor, known as Marindin of Chesterton, His surviving brother was Major Henry Richard Marindin of the 1st Royals (born 1812, died 1877). The reverend gentleman had six sons, one of whom is Major Francis Arthur Marindin, of the Royal Engineers, born 1st May 1838. The head of the family of that generation died in 1872, leaving a son and heir.
