My GGgrandfather John Marshall ( John sylvester Marshall, not sure on this middle name) born in North Carolina 1808/9 married to Amanda Robertson 1833 in Redding township, Jackson conty, Indiana. Reportedly, John and wife amanda were killed; and possibly by an indian raiding party in NW Missouri (maybe worth or gentry county) sometime after 1850 and left behind at least 7 orphan children,(who were taken in and raised by neighbors) among them my great grandfather Sylvester Marshall born 1844 in Indiana. we are unable to find anyone that really knows for sure what happened to John and amanda Marshall. If anyone has this info please contact me at marge-walker@att.
