General Notes: Husband - Capt. John Marshall


He was born in Ireland, came to Pennsylvania and settled in Hanover township, Lancaster [later Dauphin] County, Pennsylvania, in 1770. He served in the revolutionary war, holding the rank of captain of a company in Colonel Samuel Miles' rifle regiment, serving in 1776. He was en-gaged at the battle of Long Island and received serious injuries. He was later captain of a company of the Second Regiment Pennsylvania Line, Colonel Walter Stewart, and on muster roll bearing date September 8, 1778 (reported as severely wounded at the battle of Brandywine September 11, 1777). He re-ceived a pension for his patriotic service and was still living and on the pension rolls in 1835, being then eighty-five years of age. In 1779 he appears in Washington County, coming with his half-brother Robert. In August, 1781, he was appointed a justice of the peace, and associate judge for Hopewell township; in 1802-05 was a member of the Pennsylvania house of assembly. He was also colonel of Washington county militia. In 1820 he sold the two hundred acre tract that he had purchased of his cousin, Colonel James Marshel, and moved to Crawford County, Ohio.
