I have the complete Kennett meeting records, and there is no marriage listed for a Jesse Marsh and a Margaret Harlan. There are several pages of Harlans, but only one Margaret who was received in membership in 1853.. nothing in the Concord records, several Marshes in the New Garden meeting, but no Jesse; ditto the Bradford meeting; ditto Uwchlan & Goshen. There is no mention of William and Mary Marsh, in the Kennett meeting either, though I do find them in F&C ; Wm Jefferis d 11-23-1777 buried Birmingham Meeting (as that would probably be the meeting his unwed daughters would have married in, I'd try the Birmingham meeting records. I don't have these) . Mary Jeffries, dau of Wm b.5-29-1727, m Wm Marsh of Sadsbury. I checked and Jesse is not listed in the Sadsbury Meeting records, either. There is no mention of the name Jesse Marsh in any area wills.....Chester, Del, Bucks, Berks, Philly, Lanc, I looked at page 122 and see that Jesse Marsh was the clerk for the vote taken in Capt. Sterrett's Co..the date is around Oct of 1794. Most of the voters in this Militia Co are from Fallowfield, so I'd say it would be a good working theory that Jesse was from that neck of the woods, too...thre were also several from Sadsbury. I would be a help to know where you found the info you include, especially ther earlier data, and where you found the children of Jesse and Margaret...sometimes, these serve as a clue as to where I should be looking. S. , Is anyone else researching Jesse Marsh (b. ca. 1755) & his wife, Margaret Harlan (b. ca. 1759)? I believe they were married in 1777 at the Kennett MM, but I don't think they remained Quakers. Jesse was the s/o William (1725-1784) & Mary [Jefferis] Marsh (1727- ?). Margaret was the d/o William (1724-1819) & Abigail [Hollingsworth] Harlan (1729-1807). Jesse & Margaret had at least two children, Hollingsworth & Reuben Marsh, both of whom lived in the Gap area of Lancaster County either in Sadsbury or Salisbury townships, which would be a short distance west of where Jesse's grandfather, William Marsh (d. 1744) would have lived. Hollingsworth was the postmaster in Gap in 1809 & ran a hotel, but died the same year. Reuben was a farmer & stone mason by trade & was married to Ann Barkman in 1804. “History of Chester Co, PA” by Futhey & Cope p. 122-123: Jesse Marsh, clerk in Capt. Alexander Sterrett’s company, 1st battalion of the 44th regt., PA militia. Other than the above mention, I can find very little on Jesse Marsh & suspect he may have been a stone mason, too. I'd like to know if he had any other children, where he was buried, or really anything about him or his family.
