Is it possible to purchase the Gallatin county history book? -----Original Message----- From: Jon Musgrave [mailto:jonm@midamer.net] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 12:17 AM To: ILGALLAT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Marshall family of Shawneetown Hello, Does anyone on this list know anything about the children of John Marshall, the first banker of Shawneetown? John and his brother Samuel were early settlers of Shawneetown. Another brother Daniel arrived a few years later and moved to Hamilton County. I know one daughter of John married Henry Eddy. There are at least two other Marshall women who also marry in Gallatin County in the 1820s. One married Alexander Kirkpatrick and the other Thomas C. Browne. Does anyone know if these are daughters of John or Samuel? Also, I've long assumed that Samuel D. Marshall is the son of the banker John. He's the "friend" of Lincoln, owned the paper in Shawneetown at one point and served as a major during the Mexican War. Does anyone know for certain he's John's son? He's not to be confused with his cousin, judge and Congressman, Samuel S. Marshall of Hamilton County, the son of Daniel. Could some check the Gallatin County history book published a decade ago or so and see what it has?
