Judy,          I just found your archived postings on the Marshall Rootsweb listerve.  I think we might be working on the same Marshall family back in County Tyrone, although it'll take some sleuthing to put two and two together.          You mentioned that your Joseph Marshall immigrated from the townland of Glenkeen, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.  I also have an ancestor named Joseph Marshall who lived in the townland of Glenkeen, back in the early 1700s.  But I don't think yours and mine are the same guy.  They could be cousins or otherwise related, though, as it appears that this family used a couple of given names repeatedly.  Henry, Joseph, ...  Do you know the name of your Joseph's father or mother?  My Joseph was the son of Henry Marshall of Curlagh, who married a Miss Harris.  This would have been in the late 1600s.  This Miss Harris was the daughter of Arthur Harris, who mentioned her in his 1712 will.  Arthur Harris was a church official in the Church of Ireland, and was a graduate from Trinity University Dublin, back in the 1600s.  I have a brief biographical sketch of him from an Church of Ireland Ecclesiastical History.          Anyway, my Joseph Marshall of Glenkeen had a son named Henry Marshall, who was born c.1727.  Henry lived in "Derrykintone," a little townland near the town of Caledon, and died there in 1811.  Henry was buried in the local Church of Ireland churchyard in Caledon (St. John's).  This Marshall family were members of the Anglican church or Church of Ireland,...(so when I saw that you mentioned that your Joseph Marshall was a Loyalist in the Revolution, it would stand to reason, as the Marshalls of Glenkeen and area were monarchists in the old country.)           My Joseph of Glenkeen never immigrated to the U.S., but at least two of his daughters did.   They both settled in Pennsylvania, and then Ohio.  I am descended from his daughter Margaret (Marshall) McCracken who immigrated to Maryland in June/July of 1784.  She and her family later moved to Pennsylvania, then into Ohio in 1816.          I'm rather new to the Marshall search, but got a significant "jump start" when I came into possession of a bunch of genealogical research done back in the 1860s by a distant cousin who traveled back to County Tyrone in June of 1868.  She interviewed older "cousins" who were still living in the area, who remembered some of the older family of the 1700s.          Some of the other townlands that the Marshall lived in were: Glenkeen, Curlagh, Glandavagh, Bohard, et al.  If you look at a map of Aghaloe Parish, in County Tyrone, you'll see that several of these townlands bordered each other, so it makes sense that they would have been somehow connected.  The trick will be to figure out "how".  HA!          I'd love to trade/share information with you, as the old adage is often true, "two heads are better than one."  I am also working with another researcher from Nova Scotia, who is also connected to the Marshall clan from the Glenkeen vicinity.  Next spring, after I finish graduate school, I'm planning a trip to Northern Ireland to see what I can find to bolster the research I already have.          In the meantime, let's see if we can put some pieces of the Marshall puzzle together on this side of the pond.  I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.  I'll be happy to share with you what I have, and would appreciate anything you might have gleaned on the Marshalls back in County Tyrone.  I think that's where we'll find our Marshall connection. Sincerely, A Marshall descendant, Andy Miller, Columbus, Ohio
