"W. M. Paxton's 'The Marshall Family' makes no mention of Col. Thomas Marshall's connection with Shenandoah and the fact that he was a clerk of Dunmore and that county, 1772-1781.  It is of record in a county clerk.  He became surveyor of Kentucky lands appropriated for those of the Virginia line; representative of Fayette county, (KY.) in the Virginia house of delegates, 1787-1788; member of the first Kentucky constitutional convention; and U. S. collector of internal revenue of Kentucky.  Colonel Marshall married Mary Randolph Keith. 
       Nor does the same Marshall genealogy mention the fact that Thomas Marshall, Jr. born 1761, was clerk of Shenandoah, 1781-1784, his father having resigned in his son's favor.  The remarkable escape from Indians on the second trip to Kentucky of Thomas Marshall, Jr., 1790, is in McClung's "Western Adventure." He was also captain in the Revolution; first clerk of Mason county, Ky., where be built a fine log home; and member of the first Kentucky constitutional convention. He maarried (1) Susanna Adams and (2) Frances Maitland Keenan. [Wayland. A History of Shenandoah County, Virginia 617]

"Some of the following concerning Col. Thomas Marshall's brother, Markham Marshall, born about 1736, and his descendants does not appear in Paxton's "Marshall Family." The Dunmore court records for November 29, 1775, and March 8, 1776, disclose Markham Marshall bought land in Dunmore from Robert Quin.  Marshall resided on this land. He moved to Lincoln county, Ky., 1779.  His wife was Ann Bailey.  They had but one child, who married William Green.  Of William Green's nine children, there were:  Ellen Duff Green, married Gen. James Semple, brigadier general in the Black Hawk war; speaker fo the house of representatives of Illinois,....., Ann Willis Green, married Rev. William Neal. William Markham Green and Dr. Henry Lewis Green (twins).,  Dr. Henry Lewis Green married Lucy Bird Semple, sister of Gen. James Semple, ...." [page 619]

"Col., Thomas Marshall's brother, Rev. William Marshall, born 1735, of Markham, Fauquier County, VA., who was a Baptist minister, had a connection with Shenandoah county.  "He preached for a season in Shenandoah Co., VA., and thousands came to hear him.  Fifty-three persons were at one time baptized in Shenandoah." He went to Kentucky, 1780."  [Wayland  620]

   p. 51, "Marshall Family History", by J. Montgomery Seaver------He
was a clergyman born in Washington Parish, Virginia  and moved to Fauquier Co. in 1752 and became a well-known Baptist minister.

 pp. 32-34..."The Marshall Family" by W.M Paxton
     His father died in 1752, and the family removed to Fauquier Co., VA
and settled in the vicinity of Germantown.  He was a tall, graceful and handsome youth, with dark, piercing eyes and engaging manners, and fond of the fashionable amusements of the day.  In 1765, he purchased land two miles west of Markham, Fauquier Co., VA and his old residence is
still pointed out ( this book was written in 1884).  About 1766 he
married and in 1768 he was brought under the influence of the New Light preachers, and united with the Baptist Church.  His gay and festive habits ceased, and in a short time be began to preach.  The circumstance of the conversion of one so wild, as well as the earnest words he uttered,
brought many under his influence.  His preaching was attended with such power that multitides were converted, and he was God's agent in one of the greatest revivals that ever occurred in Fauquier County.  Among the fruits of his ministry were John Taylor and Joseph Reading, who afterwards became zealous apostles of the gospel.  He preached for a season in Shenandoah Co., Virginia and thousands came out to hear him. Fifty-three persons were at one time baptized in the Shenandoah.  Such was his earnestness that some supposed him deranged, and he was apprehanded, but released on the soliciation of his brother, Col. Thomas Marshall (Rin 1957).  He often preached at Happy Creek and Front Royal.
In 1780 he removed to Kentucky and settled in Lincoln County, where his brother Markham (Rin 1936) had preceded him.  A few years later, he removed to Eminence, Henry Co., Kentucky and built up "Fox Run" church. His preaching was an efficient agency in bringing about the remarkable revival of the early part of the present century.  But a fall from his horse and a broken limb stopped him from preaching for a time.  The bone was imperfectly united, and he suffered much pain.  During his confinement
he studied theology, and , from that time, his preching was more
doctrinal.  But the fire, zeal and pathos of his early years still remained with him.  It was affecting to see the earnest patriarch assisted to the pulpit, and there propped, that he might preach to dying men.  He died at Eminence in 1809.   A year before his death he divided among his children
a large amount of real estate, which he had located at an early day.  Much of it, however, was lost to his heirs by superior titles.  No name is more revered, even at this day (1884), throughout Kentucky; and indeed
William Marshall may be said to have been the best, if not the greatest
of the family.  His will is recorded in Henry Co., KY and is as follows:
     In the name of God, Amen; I, William Marshall, of the County of Henry,
in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, being weak of body, but sound of mind, memory and understanding, do make and declare this my last will and testament, as follows:
     Item:  I give and bequeath,to my sons, William and Thomas Marshall, a certain tract or parcel of land, containing 300 acres, situated in Shelbey County, to them and their heirs forever, according to their division by them heretofore made, it being the land I purchased of James and Thomas Reeves.
     Item:  I give and bequeatth to my daughter, Elizabeth Ballow, a negro girl named Milly, which she now has in possession, to her and to her
heirs forever.
     I give and bequeath to my wife, Mary Ann, the tract of land upon which
I now reside, containing 107 acres and all the rest and residue of my estate, both real and personal, during her natural life, if she remains a widow, to be used for the support of herself and younger children, so
long as they may live with their mother, viz.: Mary Ann, Susanna and
Jane; and in case she should marry another man, or at her death, either case, then the said lands and personal estate to be equally divided among the following children; Hetty Ballow, Martin Marshall, Lucy Booker, Mary Ann, Susanna and Jane Marshall, which shares they and their heirs, are to hold forever; hereby revoking and disannulling all other and former wills,
by me heretofore made.
     And lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint my two sons, Lewis and Martin Marshall, my whole and sole executors of this my last will and testament.  Dated December 10, 1806.  Probated December term, 1809.
