Hello Geoff, I, too am looking for a George Marshall. Mine was born somewhere in England about 1800. He was married to Mary?. George, Mary and 3 sons left England via London on the ship Constitution and arrived in NY in June 18,1827. The sons were: George, born abt. 1822; Thomas, born in 1824, and Edward who was 4 months old. I have not been able to locate exactly which Marshall group they were from. Thomas's family indicated that he was born in Liverpool. They migrated to Florida, and I think 2 of the sons (Edward and George) and their mother must have died. I hope you do not mine that I have copied this to the Marshall roots list. Perhaps someone there will connect with your Marshall family.
