      I have recentlly found some missing links in my marshall of Stokes co search.

      My grandfather Carl Jones Marshall was born in Stokes Co. in 1909, died in Suffolk Va in 1966

      His father is William Wortz Marshall born in Stokes Co in 1889 & died in Suffolk VA in 1945. According to his obt. his parents were William Dewitt and Florence James Marshall of Stokes Co. I saw in your website there was a Willis Dewitt and Etta Florence James Marshall could they be my g-g grandparents?

      any help would be most appreciated
      Thanks
      Todd Marshall

      David,
      My aunt found Willis D. Marshall's Obit. it reads as follows:

      Willis D. Marshall
      Petersburg, Sept 2.-Funeral services for Willis Dewitt Marshall, who died yesterday morning in Petersburg Hospital, have been arranged for 4 p.m. today in the chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son with Dr. O.B. Newton pastor of Highland Methodist Church, officiating and burial in Walnut Cove, N.C.
      A native of Stokes County, N.C., Mr. Marshall was a retired Norfolk and Western Railway Section foreman.

      I think that this is more than likely the same person.
      Thanks for the notes,
      Todd
