So please post > your ancestors and most of all let us know what your BRICKWALLS are. Thanks for taking over the list, Joan. I'm stuck on William H. Marshall. born about 1832 in North Carolina. married Martha C. Pickle, also born 1832, probably in Bedford County, TN. They married about 1854, somewhere near Memphis, according to her obit. I have not located a marriage record for them. She is on the 1850 census in Bedford Cty, TN, but I have not found him in 1850. I have not located them in 1860. They were somewhere in Arkansas in 1862, when their second child, my greatgrandmother Elizabeth Marshall was born. They were in Macon, Macon, Illinois for the 1870 census, and Martha is in Vernon, Cowley, KS for the 1880 census, a widow with 6 children. William had died in 1877. I have no idea who William's parents were, where in NC he was born, etc. NOTHING on him prior to 1870. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lynn Stewart Visone
