  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.

  Father	Thomas Marshall,   b. Abt 1757, Wales d. Bef Oct 1819, Bedford County, Virginia (Age ~ 62 years)
  Mother	Nancy Ann Oliver,   b. Abt 1758, Maryland d. 26 May 1841, Bedford County, Virginia (Age ~ 83 years)
  Marriage	Abt 1777	Maryland   [2]
  	"Thomas was most likely born in the late 1750's and probably married in Maryland in the late 1770's. Son William appears to have been born by at least the early part of 1780. Nancy is named as wife of Thomas in his will and they are mentioned in an 1804 land transaction. However, no marriage record has been located yet for Thomas in either Maryland or Virginia to prove whether Nancy was the mother of all of his children. The fact that the first two known children of Thomas were named William and Nancy gives some credence to the idea that his father was named William and his wife was Nancy. Woodson Marshall (a grandson) state that the maiden name of Riley (his father's) mother was Oliver, and that his oldest sister, Harriet Oliver Marshall was named for her. It could be interpreted to mean that Riley's mother was actually named Harriet Oliver, in which case Thomas would have married Nancy after Riley's birth in 1797 but before 1804. Am inclined to think that Thomas only had one wife, and her name was Nancy Oliver. Based on the bits of available information, would guess Nancy was born about 1759 and was at least 81 years old when she died in 1841. Although probably cared for most by the youngest daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and George Pollard, the 1840 census shows she COULD have been living with Nancy and Joseph Eubank. This Nancy was the daughter of William Marshall and probably the oldest grandchild of Thomas. If Nancy Marshall was living with the Eubank's then it woudl be another indication that she was the only wife of Thomas." Marshall, Ralph E.
