General Notes: Husband - Joseph Marshall

---

He was born near Ebenezer, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where he lived until 1802, when he moved to Glade Run, in Wayne township, Armstrong County. Here he cleared a field, and the following year built a cabin on it. This field was later the site of the Dayton fair grounds. Joseph Marshall became a heavy landowner, and cleared off nearly all of his property. In 1822, with his brother James and George McComb, he built a mill which was one of the first in that section. Later Mr. Marshall bought the interests of his partners, and continued to carry on the mill alone until 1832, when he traded the property for a farm in the same township. He was very well known in his day. He was a great hunter, and later in life was fond of telling stories of his deeds of valor while hunting bears, panthers, wildcats, deer and other wild animals.

When the Marshalls in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, became quite numerous, he was distinguished from others bearing the same name by the appellation of "Big Joe Marshall."
