Lois In searching for my Joshua Marshall, I've found at least four Marshall lines and three Joshuas in OH. None of the other three lines seem to be connected to mine. It's interesting that your Joshua in Hamilton Co. was fairly close to where my Marshalls were in Scioto, Pike, Jackson Co. Obviously, my grandfather, born 1848, died before I was born, but my grandmother often spoke of Marshall relatives in Fayette and Greene Co, too. I wish I'd listened better when I was a child. :) Good luck in your search.
