General Notes: Husband - William Marshall

---

The Marshalls of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio are descendants of the four brothers-John, William, Thomas and Robert Marshall-who accompanied their sister Mary from Ireland to America, early in the second half of the eighteenth century.

He came to America before the Revolution to inquire into the condition of the country; but the war of the Revolution breaking out, he joined the patriots and fought for the right. After the close of the Revolution he sent for his wife and children, and in 1783 they arrived at Philadelphia. That year the reunited family proceeded to Washington County, Pennsylvania, where they found a temporary home, until they settled on the farm in Cross Creek township later in that year. In 1788 he purchased 101 acres from David Vance at 15 shillings (or $1.87½) per acre, and on this tract the fam­ily resided until the death of the mother, when he and his son James removed to Wayne County, Ohio, where the soldier and pioneer shortly after died.
