General Notes: Husband - John Marshall


He first came to West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, in 1822 as deputy sheriff under Jesse Sharp, and served in this capacity during the term of that officer. He then commenced the drug business at the stand later owned by Aitken & Sargent, on High Street, and afterwards bought the property later occupied by Thomas Pierce, added hardware to his drug business, and associated with him as a partner Dr. Wilmer Worthington. Nov. 18, 1839, he was elected a director of the Bank of Chester County, which position he held, with an interval of one year in every four, until May 1, 1863, when, on the death of Dr. Darlington, he was elected president of that institution. He disposed of his drug and hardware business to his nephews, T. & T. G. Pierce, retiring from active business, with the exception of his duties in connection with the bank. For more than half a century he was a resident of West Chester, prominently identified with its interests, and holding many positions of trust and importance among his fellow-citizens.
