Hello everyone. I joined the list today in hopes of learning more about my Marshall branch. My greatgreatgrandfather was William H. Marshall. Census records indicate he was born in North Carolina in 1832. He married Martha C. Pickel. She was born 16 Jan 1832 in Bedford County, Tennessee. Her obit states they were married about 1854, near Memphis, TN. Their son James H. Marshall was born in 1858 in West Tennessee according to William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas. Their daughter (my greatgrandmother) Elisabeth Marshall was born 22 Sept 1962, somewhere in Arkansas. Then they moved to Illinois. They are on the 1870 census in Macon, Macon County, Illinois, with two more children, Josephine and Ella. They moved to Kansas in 1871, and had two more children, Lila in 1873 and William Joseph on 26 September 1876. Transcriptions of the Winfield Courier lead me to believe William may have been a stage driver in July 1876, and/or opened a photograph gallery in October 1876. William H. Marshall died on 3 Jan 1877 and is buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery, Cowley County, KS. Elisabeth married Clay Stewart, and I have more info on them. Lilah married Coleman Abel Waite, and I have a little bit of info on them. William Joseph married Ora Olive Bonewell. I have more on them. I have nothing on the others. I am seeking more information on William H. Where in NC was he born? Who were his parents? Did he have siblings? Any info or suggestions will be appreciated. Lynn Stewart Visone Coconut Creek, FL
