(Source: !SOURCE: Marriage; First Church of Rockingham Records, p261.) John was born ~1773 and Abigail (a.k.a. "Nabby") was born ~1777 to William & Elisabeth Stearns. John was the son of Moses and Jerusha OWEN MARSH and had several siblings: Jerusha, Moses III, Joseph Owen, Thomas, Betsey, Daniel, Samuel, Polly, and Pheobe. I have identified where most of the siblings lived later in life. One in northern VT, and several in Tompkins Co, and Allegany Co, NY (most in New Hudson, Allegany Co, NY area). I don't have a death date for John. John & Nabby's children may have been: John, Abigail, David O, Ralph D, and Sarah B. John lived in Louisville, St Lawrence Co, NY on Feb 13, 1823 accdng to Rockingham Twn Rec, Bk 8, p125,126. !SOURCE: living area: Hist of St. Lawrence Co, NY, pp397,399 Dr. MARSH was among the oldest settlers of Louisville, along with several Willson people, Samuel Bradford, Levi Cole, Samuel Wells, Robert Loughrey, Thomas Bingham, Amos Underwood, Daniel Haws, Charles Whalen. WERE these people from Rockingham, VT too? !NOTE: the next several entries come from info from Mary A. Brothers' research: Dr. John MARSH sold land in Westminster, VT to Daniel MARSH (blacksmith) 28 Dec 1808. In 1816 elected member of Jefferson Co, NY Medical Society (Hist of Jeff Co, p399; publ 1854). In 1820, bought land in St. Lawrence Co, NY. In 1842, he and wife, Abigail, conveyed land in St. Lawrence Co to his dau & son-in-law, Abigail MARSH BAILEY and Sabin Levi BAILEY. I'd like to hear from anybody who has done work on him. He is a brother to my direct ancestor. I have quite a bit of info on John's ancestors and siblings that I'm happy to share. Rob Thomas (now in California) rthomasma@yahoo.com
