All my information on this part of the family is from the "booklet" by Thomas E. Marshall, III. He placed several copies in Virginia Libraries including the one in Richmond. I ordered copies of my line from the holdings in Salt Lake City, Utah. He did most of the research personally but there is some of it from sources in KY. I know the genealogical library in Bedford, VA has a copy also. Your info could be correct, I 'll see if I can find anything else relating to the names.
