David: Do you know anything about a James Marshall that lived in Harrison Co., Kentucky during the early 1800s? He died in 1823 and left six young girls as orphans, one of which was my ggg/grandmaw. Her name was Priscilla Marshall. Priscilla married Archibald Hutchinson. I have lots of data on them. I am trying to ascertain the parents of James and any and all of his siblings. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. BTW, I agree with you on the spam busters. It is a shame that we have to protect ourselves with mediocre means. We stymie good messages to prevent the bad ones. So be it. Thanks in advance for your help.
