General Notes: Husband - Robert Marshall


The Marshalls of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio are descendants of the four brothers-John, William, Thomas and Robert Marshall-who accompanied their sister Mary from Ireland to America, early in the second half of the eighteenth century.

Coming to America in his youth, he en­listed in the Continental line at the age of sixteen years, in opposition to the wish of his mother, who protested on account of his youth. He served in six general engagements. At the age of twenty-three years he began to study theology un­der Rev. Graham, continuing under Rev. McMillan, of Canonsburg, PA, and was licensed to preach by the Redstone Presbytery. For some time he preached in what is now West Virginia; but in 1791 he removed to a point eight miles from Lexington, KY, where he died.
