Andrew Jackson Marsh was born December 15, 1846 in Tipton Co., TN, the ninth child of (1) I. M. Marsh and Jane M. (Walker) Marsh. I. M. Marsh was born 1800 in North Carolina and married in Tennessee, Jane M. Walker, born 1811 in Tennessee. I. M. Marsh came to Arkansas in 1858 settling in Woodruff County, four miles from Howell Station. Here I. M. Marsh improved a large farm, residing on it until 1867, at which time he returned to Tipton Co., TN where he lived for several years. In 1869 he returned to Arkansas for a visit and died here that year. In 1870, his wife, Jane M. (Walker) Marsh died from injuries received from a vicious mule at her home in Tipton Co., TN. Of the thirteen children born to I. M. and Jane Marsh, I have information on two; Margaret I. Marsh and Andrew Jackson Marsh. This is a great story, full of genealogy information on the Marsh family, their ancestors and desendants. Some of the surnames included in this family history are; Marsh, Walker, Tubbs, Joyner, Thomas, Dye, Rayner, Fryer, Barber, Singer, Ward, Braden and Vanpelt. Hope you all get to read it.
