General Notes: Husband - William Marshall


He was twelve years of age when the family came to America and he frequently told his children concerning the wild condition of Penn Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, at that time. In his youth he learned the hatter's trade in Pittsburgh, and subsequently went into business for himself, conducting stores at different points. When his son, James T., was two years old, he gave up merchandising and settled on a part of the homestead in Penn Township, on which he lived until after the close of the Civil War, when he went to Tennessee, where he followed farming for about four years. After he returned to Butler County he lived retired. He was a Republican in politics but never accepted any office ex­cept that of school director.


General Notes: Wife - Rebecca Kearns


She was the eighth member of her parents' family of fifteen children, all of whom grew up and had families of their own.
