I have a ancestor by the name of MARSHALL COVINGTON born in Virginia. Was he named for Matthew MARSHALL . His father William COVINGTON was a witness to Mr. MARSHALL'S will I believe in 1794. Was William's wife Mary the daughter of Matthew MARSHALL. I also have a 4thgreatgrandfather William MARSHALL SCARBOROUGH. Does anyone know if there is a MARSHALL SCARBOROUGH connection or is this merely a coincidence. Now MARSHALL COVINGTON settled in Dale County Alabama, where he died in 1879. His son Ransome settled in Henry County Alabama. The Henry County COVINGTONS are descended from him. Thanks Le

Le, Do you have anything more on Matthew Marshall? And what area was he from if you have it? I have been looking for years for a Matthew Marshall father of Henry Marshall.
