Alexander Marshall

Notes:

Alexander Marshall, son of the foregoing (Thomas Marshall, a native of Wales) and father of the subject (Junius S. Marshall), was born in Maryland, March 24, 1790. He went with his parents to Virginia when quite young, remaining in that state until about the 1818, at which time he immigrated to Kentucky and located in Hardinsburg, where he engaged in the shoe-making and grocery business. After a few years spent in the town he moved about one mile and a half south to the place where subject (Junius) now lives, on which farm he located, and on which his death occurred January 6, 1867. (Ralph Marshall copied this from an article discovered in the summer of 1980 in the Kansas City, Missouri Public Library from the "History of Kentucky, Illustrated 1887 pps. 1072-1073).

Ralph Marshall writes that eight deeds are recorded for Alexander Marshall between 1816 and 1829. All mention either Goose Creek, Dick's Branch or Amos Branch, a tributary of Goose Creek. Alexander made application in 1819 to erect a saw mill on Amos Branch but the only land purchase shown prior to that year was 30 acres on waters of Goose Creek in 1816. Alexander and Elizabeth purchased 80 acres on Amos Branch in 1821, the year they apparently moved to Breckinridge county, Kentucky, and then sold it for $250 to Thomas Wade in 1829.

At the time of the 1830 Federal Census for Kentucky, the household of Alexander Marshall is listed as follows:

Two males under age 5, one male between the age of 5-10, one male between the age of 10 and 15, and one male between the age of 40 and 50, one female under age 5, 3 females between the ages of 5-10, one female between the age of 10-15, and one female between the age of 30 and 40.

Notes:

Excerpt of article, transcribed by Ralph Marshall, about Junius Marshall:

To Alexander and Elizabeth Marshall were born twelve children, only four of whom are now living: Edwin, Jane, Emily and Junius S. The last named was born in Breckinridge County April 18, 1834. He was educated in the common schools of the country, which he attended at intervals until his twenty-first year, but by far the greater part of his education has been obtained in later life, as he has always been a ready and practical observer. He took charge of the home place after reaching his majority, looking after his parents' interests in the meantime, and in 1862 purchased the farm of his father, and since resided upon the same. Mr. Marshall's home, which is one of the best in the vicinity of Hardinsburg, consists of 350 acres of good land, one mile and a half south of town, on the Hartford road, and is well improved and under succesful cultivation. Mr. Marshall has been a very successful farmer, and is in every respect a true type of the quiet, law abiding, country gentleman. He married, July 22, 1863, Artemissa, daughter of Robert and Nancy (Scott) Payne. Mrs. Marshall was born in Breckinridge County on December 18, 1844. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall are the parents of the following children: Nannie, Lizzie, Lucy (deceased), Thomas E., Emily F. (deceased), Willie, Samuel, Humphrey, Robert A., Mary, and Idah. Mr. Marshall is a Democrat in politics; belongs to the Masonic fraternity, and is an active member of the Methodist Church. He and his wife belong to the Oakland congregation. Ralph Marshall copied this from an article discovered in the summer of 1980 in the Kansas City, Missouri Public Library from the "History of Kentucky, Illustrated 1887 pps. 1072-1073."
