Surnames: Marsh Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VlB.2ACE/911.1.1.2 Message Board Post: I am a descendant of Needham Marsh, b. 1763 in South Carolina. He migrated to MS, LA and eventually Polk County TX where he died in 1851. He was married twice and had two sons by his second wife. One of these sons was named Manton Marsh who came to Texas about 1848 where he married Cynthia Gilbert. b. LA about 1828. They had four sons and four daughters. When she died in 1909, it was reported that the funeral was attended by a son from West Texas, Mr. E. N. Marsh. What these initials stand for I do not know, but his date of birth was probably around 1850.
