Dear Al, My husband and I have been working on his family tree for years, but have been at a stand still for some time. We know his gg grandfather was Joshua Marshall from Will Co. Ill----that he died of dropsy during the Civil was on a boat off Vicksburg MS. His wife was Emily McFarland. We also believe he may have been born in Cincinnati Ohio.We know who his children were. We can't seem to get back further than Joshua. We would like to know who his parents and siblings were etc. Does any of this sound like it could connect to your gg grandfather Joshua? Would like to hear from you. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I recently re-joined the list. I don't know if there's anyone still on it who remembers me, but I was the first Marshall list manager. I haven't been actively searching for a while due to location, but we're now back in "civilization" and I hope to get back in gear. I'm still looking for my elusive great-grandfather's parents. Here's what we know: My great-grandfather was Adam MARSHALL (this name also looks like Aden or Hayden on some census records). He was b. 1822-23 somewhere in Tennessee. In 1840 he m. Rachel YARDLEY (b. Ohio), in Marion Co., IL. We have been unable to determine his parents, although there is a tantalizing record of a marriage in Rutherford Co, TN of a Pleasant Arnold to Synthea Barnes 7 May 1822, bond Thomas Arnold. It is in a book by Howard L. Arnold p 246, and some other mentions, but I have never been able to find a list of their children. As far as we know all of Pleasant and Rachel's children were b. in Marion Co., probably Patoka. They were: 1. Henry Henderson, b. 1842, Marion Co.; d. 1917, Seward Co., NE. Served for IL in the Civil War. He m. (1) Margaret HOWELL, (2) Nancy Ellen BARFIELD, and (3) Angeline HOUSER (Henry and Angeline were my grandparents). 2. Mary Ann (Matilda?), b. 1847-48, Marion Co., IL; m. 1)Emery G. MOORE; m. 2)Thomas POTTER 3. George, b. abt 1850, Marion Co., IL; d. bef. 1860, Marion Co., IL 4. Adrian (Adam) , b. abt 1853, Marion Co., IL 5. Jefferson, b. abt 1856, Marion Co., IL 6. Lucinda, b. abt 1858, Marion Co., IL; m. Noah BELCHER, 28 Feb 1874, Marion Co., IL Would like to contact any other descendents, or anyone who can help with Adam's parents. Thank you. Judy Arnold

Oops. You may be wondering what Pleasant Arnold has to do with my Marshall kin. Absolutely nothing! That shouldn't have been in there. It HAS been a long time since I posted. Sorry.
