  Notes	During a November 2002 research trip to Missouri and Kentucky, Charles Strong found in the Breckinridge County archives a booklet titled "Descendants of Thomas Marshall Bedford Co., Va. Plus Hix-Owen-Nicholson & Related Families" compiled by Ralph E. Marshall. Completed September, 1986" Charles copied numerous relevant pages from this booklet, the copies now in the files of Melinda McLemore Strong in San Antonio. This book states that Samuel Marshall was the next to youngest son of Thomas Marshall. It was speculated by the author that "Perhaps Samuel had demonstrated good business sense or was a favorite of his parents as Thomas appointed him the Executor of his Will in October 1819. William and Alexander were several years older than Samuel and lived in the same part the county but were not chosen for that responsibility. Samuel and Alexander must have been fairly close as brothers as they married the Hix sisters and then took their families to Breckinridge county, Kentucky. Census and birth records indicated that the Samuel and Alexander Marshall families made the move to Kentucky after the 1820 census was taken but probably not later than the spring of 1821. Alexander is recorded as a grocer and shoemaker in his earliest years in Hardinsburg but there is less information on Samuel. The first record of a land transaction for Samuel shows him purschasing 141 1/4 acres of land for $330 from Littleton and Lucretia Martin of February 23, 1825. This farm was about 1 1/2 miles south of Hardinsburg and bordered on land purchased by Alexander in 1829. The 1830 census (below) lists Samuel and Alexander as neighbors and Samuel is shown with one slave. Charles made a xerox of the actual deed, which was in Book G, pages 143 and 144. They are recorded there in the 1830 census [KY Microfilm No. 16, page 65]. The only other Marshall head of household is his brother, Alexander Marshall. Samuel Marshall's listing on the 1830 census shows his household consists of one (1) free white male from between the ages of 5-10, and one (1) free white male between the ages of 30 and 40. There are also two (2) free white females under the age of 5, two (2) free white females between the ages of 5-10, and one (1) free white female between the age of 30 and 40. Fourteen years later, in 1835, they migrated again, this time joining the great four year rush caused by the opening to pioneer settlement of the last Missouri Indian Lands. This great human movement, which ended in 1837, was not unlike the Californian gold rush of later years. This time the Marshalls settled in rural Lewis Co. from where they then moved to LaGrange at a later date, possibly in the 1870s. A visit to the courthouse at Monticello in Lewis county revealed that Samuel was involved in many land transactions from 1835 to 1870. History books lists him as a settler in 1835 in Union Township 60, Range 6, so he probably farmed just west and perhaps a little south of LaGrange. (Ralph Marshall, p 27). Census lists him as a retired farmer living in LaGrange with real estate valued at $5,000 in 1860 and $4,000 in 1870. Town of LaGrange currently has about 1,200 population and is located on the Mississippi River in southeast part of Lewis county. No examination has been made of all the recorded land transactions but Samuel and Hannah did sign a deed on March 23, 1867. Then the next record in July 1869 was for sale of land by another person acting as trustee for Samuel, an indication that he was no longer capable of handling his own affairs. Perhaps the last entry was in December 1870 where there was a Sheriff's sale of some lots Samuel owned in LaGrange. No will or probate is on record at the Monticello courthouse so perhaps there was little property left to be disposed of when Samuel and Hannah died. At this point, no cemetery record has been found to indicate when Samuel and Hannah died or where they are buried. It would seem logical that they were either buried in LaGrange or at Asbury Chapel where their son Winfield was laid to rest in 1871. The author walked over the LaGrange cemetery in June 1985 and found not Marshall stones but there were also areas where the markers were broken or had disappeared. (Ralph Marshall, p 27). The following obituary was found by Mary Pat Strong and Charles R. Strong on an earlier research trip, in June 2002, at the LaGrange Public Library. The LaGrange (Lewis County, Missouri) Democrat, Nov. 8, 1878. DIED MARSHALL-In this city on the morning of the 4th inst. Samuel Marshall, in the 85th year of his age. Mr. Marshall was one of the pioneers in this section, being one of the oldest men in the county. He has long been an invalid and his death was no surprise to his friends. A funeral discourse was preached at the residence of the deceased by Eld. Jas. Penn, Tuesday morning, after which the remains were followed to the city cemetery by weeping relatives and friends.

  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   [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.
