Hello All, Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am the new administrator of this mailing list. Taking over a mailing list is a lot like walking into a theater during the middle of a movie and not having any idea of the plot. So I would like to kick things off with a ROLL AND BRICKWALL call. So please post your ancestors and most of all let us know what your BRICKWALLS are. The Mailing List THREE GOLDEN RULES. #1. BE NICE. No flaming of others or nasty criticisms of posts. #2. KEEP ON TOPIC. By that I mean genealogy. No virus reports, or commercial advertising, etc. Rootsweb has lists for many topics to serve all needs. #3. HAVE FUN! Helpful Hint: Remember to change the Subject Line when you reply to this message with your own surnames. :-) If you have any questions or comments that do not belong on-list please contact me at: [email protected] Sincerely, Joan Asche

Has anyone definitively traced back from Jacob Marshall and Rebecca Murray to their respective native countries, presumably Ireland, Scotland or the British Isles? Any information will be appreciated. Limited information we have is that they were married 18 Feb 1803 in or around Baltimore, MD, and moved with their two children Ruth (born between abt 1800 and 1808) and Thomas Murray Marshall (b. 1803) in 1810 to Preble Co., Ohio. Jacob died there in 1854. Both children married into the Conger family. If the information I have is correct, Rebecca Murray's father was Wheeler Murray; Wheeler's father was Jabez Murray; and Jabez's parents were James Murray and Jemima Morgan. Spouses of Wheeler and Jabez Murray are unknown at this time, and I have no dates or locations associated with the ancestors of Rebecca Murray.

This is my brick wall: North Carolina > Alabama > Mississippi > Texas WILLIAM MARSHALL (1808-?) and NANCY WORTHAM (1806-?) were both born in North Carolina. From the 1850 Chickasaw County, Mississippi census, I know they had the following children: JOHN, b 1831 NC; JOSEPH, b 1834 NC; AMY HARRIET, b 1835 NC (my ancestor); ELIZABETH, b 1838 AL; FRANCIS, b 1842 AL; and WILLIAM S., b 1844 AL. AMY HARRIET MARSHALL married SYLVESTER COOPER in Chickasaw County, MS in 1852. After the Civil War, they migrated to DeWitt County, Texas. Searching for William Marshall and Nancy Wortham's parents.

I am descended from a James Marshall born in Ballybay Co. Monaghan in 1821 who came to Ontario Canada just prior to 1845 as he took up land Janetville in Manvers Township that year and Married Margaret J. Little from Clarke Township in 1852. My brick wall is to establish contact in Ireland. -- For more information on the Marshall family history, please visit: http://www3.sympatico.ca/fmarshall/ -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
