Marsha, Thank you for responding. I have a Marshall family that married into my Davis family in Virginia. I have John H. Marshall marrying Julia Baugher. They had a son Charles Henry Marshall born in 1862. Then I have the Leonard Davis who married Mary Wilson Marshall and had a daughter Susannah Marshall with whom he is living. I will keep a copy of your email with my Davis/Marshall info and if I do run across anything, I will be happy to let you know. By the way, what part of WV are you located? I am in Elkins, WV.
