There are Marshalls in my family. My Grandfather was Allan Thomas Spivey of Shawneetown, Post Master at one time and publisher of two newspapers. He married Mary O'Neal Wright and they were in lumber. I believe there is a Jemina Marshall. I will look into their people and get back to you.

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? > > Thanks, > > Jon Musgrave > www.IllinoisHistory.com
