  Father	Thomas Marshall,   b. Abt 1757, Wales d. Bef Oct 1819, Bedford County, Virginia (Age ~ 62 years)

  Marriage	Abt 1777	Maryland   [1]
  	"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.

  Family	Joseph Vanpelt,   b. 14 Apr 1785, Pennsylvania d. 11 May 1864, Highland County, Ohio (Age 79 years)
  Marriage	25 Dec 1803	Bedford County, Virginia   [1, 2, 3]
  	Ralph Marshall notes that Thomas is shown as a surety on (the) marriage record of his daughter Eleanor. Land records show that Eleanor and Joseph purchased 67 acres in 1811 from her father. It was undoubtedly the same 67 acres Thomas Marshall purchased in 1808 from Thomas Welch on a branch of the South Fork of the Little Otter River. In September 1816, the Van Pelt's sold this same 67 acres to Francis Pollard and probably left shortly thereafter for Highland County, Ohio where they spent the rest of their lives. Riley Marshall is recorded elsewhere as having left Bedford County in 1817, and was married in Highland County in 1818, so he probably accompanied his sister and brother-in-law on the move from Virginia. Census records indicate that Eleanor & Jospeh had 3 sons and 8 daughters by 1830. (Ralph Marshall, p 26). Ralph Marshall writes that the will of Joseph Van Pelt was dated February 1, 1857 and proven May 18, 1864. It named wife Eleanor, daughter Lucinda Atwell and her children, Joseph M. and Nelson T. Atwell. Witnesses were A. Cunningham and John Morrow, administrator was John A. Patterson and sureties D.F. Scott and R.S. Evans. Perhaps one or more of these men were son-in-laws. (Ralph Marshall, p 26).
