Hi David,

I'm the great-great-grandaughter of BOTH Flori Ann Rebecca Westmoreland AND her sister Mary Jane Westmoreland. They married brothers. Then one of each of their grandchildren married each other (2nd cousins). Those were my grandparents.

CORRECTION FOR YOUR DATABASE: Flori Ann Rebecca Westmoreland married WILLIAM R. WIMER, not Wayne Wimmer. (Wimer is pronounced with a long "I".) Their marriage license info is at the official Illinois vital statistics web site. (Elizabeth Marshall Westmoreland's family was living in McLean County Illinois during the 1860 Census and they were in Douglas County Minnesota for the 1870 Census.)

Here's some of the information I have:

FLORI ANN REBECCA WESTMORELAND was born Feb. 13, 1847 in Winston Salem, Stokes Co., NC, and died May 24, 1896 in Hastings, Dakota County, Minnesota. She married WILLIAM R. WIMER on July 6, 1865 in Clinton, DeWitt County, Illinois. She and William are buried in the Lakeside Cemetery In Hastings, Minnesota. Their son BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ('FRANK') WIMER was my great-grandfather. Frank's daughter HAZEL KATE WIMER was my grandmother.

MARY JANE WESTMORELAND was born November 10, 1848 in Winston Salem, North Carolina, and died August 8, 1920 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. She married William's brother THOMAS WIMER. Their daughter ALICE ELIZABETH WIMER was my great-grandmother. Alice's son CLARENCE THOMAS CRAIG was my grandfather, and he married Hazel Kate Wimer (above).

One of Clarence Thomas and Hazel Kate Wimer Craig's eight children was my father LOREN MELVIN CRAIG.

Could you tell me who gave you the information on Flori Ann Rebecca? Or else could you give that person my contact information? I've got some questions about the Westmorelands. I'd also be interested in learning of anyone else who is interested in Flori Ann Rebecca and Mary Jane's families.

I have a little more information about the names of Elizabeth Marshall's children and all of their birthdates. I also have the names of many of the children and grandchildren of F.A. Rebecca and Mary Jane Westmoreland Wimer. I can provide you with a studio photograph of (F.A. Rebecca Westmoreland's son) Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Wimer, his wife and 3 children, taken in 1905. I have it stored at an online picture-hosting site. Let me know if you're interested in any of this information.

YOUR MARSHALL WEBSITE IS WONDERFUL! Finding it was like receiving an early Christmas present. I'd already gotten much of the information from a second cousin, and had found more online, but it's nice to be able to see it so clearly organized. And it's also interesting to see more about the Marshall descendancy, as well as the great pictures.

I know you put a tremendous amount of time and effort into creating and maintaining your website. I sincerely appreciate your generosity in sharing the information with those of us who have an interest in family history.

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. Https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/62553647/martin-marshall [DWM-1993]

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.
