General Notes: Husband - William Sterling Marshall

---

He and his wife settled soon after marriage, in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. He came out first, selected his land and cleared a place for the cabin he built, and the following spring he moved there with his wife, first stopping at Glade Run (near Dayton) awhile with the Marshalls, relatives. They stayed with his cousin, old "Uncle" Robert Marshall. Then they moved to his cabin and new home. When they came to live in Wayne township, near what became Belknap, Armstrong County, neighbors were scarce and far apart, and they settled in a rank growth of timber out of which he cleared a farm. There the young pioneer couple made a home and reared their family and lived good and useful lives. Farming was always his occupation.
