General Notes: Husband - James Marshall




In 1822, he and his family emigrated from County Antrim, Ireland, to the United States, and after a year of stay in Pittsburgh, settled in Penn Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania.

He was a man of strong, imperious will and firm of convictions. When he arrived in Butler County, in 1824, he purchased a considerable body of land, and devoted himself to farming. He died on his farm. Although a man of large and powerful intellectual power, he never actually interfered in political affairs. He was a "Scotch Covenanter." His religious convictions prevented him from accepting the oath of naturalization, to support the Constitution of the United States; in his judgment that instrument sanctioned and protected human slavery, recognized the right of property in man. Hence he remained an alien.



General Notes: Wife - Jean Peebles




She was the only child of a country gentleman who resided near Londonderry. She and her husband were both endowed with more than ordinary mental power. Careful training and a liberal education, combined with noble traits of character, made them deservedly conspicuous in their wilderness home.
