    Notes:

    Marshall 0001; Marshall 0002; Marshall 0019, 0020, & 0021 - Martin was married twice. I have no information about his first wife, but they had two sons, William and James.
    !Martin is buried in the family cemetery; go down "Dusty Trail" off Baux Mountain Road in Forsyth County, NC. I have visited his grave site. Some sources give Forsyth County as his place of death. But Forsyth County was not formed until 1849. Until then it was part of Stokes County.

    Marshall 0043, pg. 2 - Letter from Nancy Lynn (Marshall) Reu.

    Marshall 0152, pg. 4 - This source gives his first wife's name as Susanna Basel. I can find no basis for this, but there are other Marshall's who think that might have been her name.

    Marshall 0163, p. 1 - Letter from Michael Marshall. He speculates that Martins first wife might have been named Sarah Boswell. There are family stories that his first wife was Sarah Basil. Michael says that he has seen Boswell spelled several different ways similar to Basil. If that speculation eventually shows merit, that it is possible that Martin's first wife could have been Eleanor's (his second wife's) sister.

    According to the documentation below Martin's first name was William. I have no other confirmation about this. (DWM)

    David-This is just a rough guess. Rough is a key word. I have a paper from family that documents itself as; Hall of Records - Annapolis Md Liber#27 Folio #317, Va. Col. Abstracts Sev. 2-5, York Co Va. 1657-1659.,pg. 45 & pg. 30 V Ser2 Va. Colonial Record Pg 510 & 512. Va Colonial Rec. vol Ser. 2 Northumberland, Co Va p 431 & 78. Mar. 19, 1706-1707. Census of Md. William Marshall son of Richard married Eleanor Boswell. See previous fax. Rootsweb - Phillip Hatcher W. Martin Marshall 1749-1824 married Eleanor Boswell. Rootsweb - Decendants of John Montgomery. Martin Marshall, Will 1824 Stokes Co., Nc ,2nd wife Eleanor Boswell. Moved from Albermarle Co, Va to Stokes Co. in 1798. (Same year Richard Died)

    Rootsweb - Phillip Hatcher W. Martin Marshall Marriage 1 Sarah Basal Marriage 2 Eleanor Boswell. Rootsweb Brenda Marshall Inman. Martin Wells Marshall 1790 in Va. 10 Nov, 1871 - Father Martin Marshall Married Eleanor Boswell.

    Rootsweb - Billy Markland: Martin Wells Marshall, b. 1789 d.1871: 11/28/1814 Volunteered for service with Capt. John L. Houser's .Company of infantry, 5th Regiment of NC Milita. Rate of pay was 8.00/month. Discharged on 2/22/1815 at Norfolk, Va. --Source: Della Marshall Jones "The Marshalls of House and Barn Mountain". I think Martin Wells Martin maybe the son of William Martin Marshall who Married Eleanor Boswell. If I can figure out if W.M. Marshall and brother Richards dad was actually Richard Thomas Marshall I think I have this link licked. What do you think? MM

    I don't know if I told you but I was able to get Martin Marshall approved as a patriot for NSDAR. His ancestor id is A216270.

    He was listed in the Albemarle Co VA personal property tax list of 1783 this is considered acceptable service. A portion of the 1783 Virginia personal property tax and land tax went to support the war effort.
