Elizabeth MARSHALL

Notes:

I am not certain whether this is John's child or a child of Frankie's by a previous marriage.

John Marion Marshall had twelve children by his wife, Christina Sparger. Then he left his family and went to Texas with another Frankie Pate. There it is reported that he raised another family of twelve children. I have no information about his death or where he is buried.
!Marshall 0241, pp. 1, 9 - This source, a letter from Robert K. Marshall to Gurney Robertson, dated 9/17/1925, sheds some light on John's second wife, Frankie Pate. It says that John wrote a letter to "Uncle Sam" (Samuel Edward Marshall?) and a letter to Martha Eleanor (Marshall) Saunders asking if he could return to Surry County with his "second wife." I am not sure that either letter exists now, or maybe they never did.

More information - Apparently he and Frankie went to Indianapolis, Indiana. There he met a man who owned a ranch in the area of San Antonio, Texas. The man hired John to go to Texas and look after his ranch. While John was in route to Texas, the man died in Indianapolis.

The census data below places him firmly in San Antonio, Texas in 1880. Apparently, Frankie had died.

Below is more information from Gilmer Robertson. He sent it to me January 5, 2002 in response to a message I broadcast to my distribution list offering a $100 reward for anyone who could find John.

Dear David,

It is nice to get your emails although I seldom respond. I'm not sure if I ever told you this or not (I probably did, but it's been too many years to know) but my Aunt Bettye Marshall Robertson told me that her husband Merlin actually went to John Marion's grave in Texas. Merlin and Bettye lived in Waco for many years and my recollection is that she said Merlin set out to track his down and met one of John's sons or grandsons-she couldn't remember what town the grave was located in.

Merlin and Bettye were cousins-Merlin's grandfather was John Marion and I believe that Bettye was John Marion's great-granddaughter. Bettye died in 1976 and I had talked with her about this probably in the early 70's so I am fuzzy on this one but it seems that John changed his name. I'm pretty sure she said he became just John Marion and dropped the Marshall completely. Well, that should be enough to confuse all of us- perhaps someday all of this will be discovered.

Keep up the good work-I could use the $100 to pay for Xmas but I don't think I have the time to do any research. Perhaps we could check all of the death records in the Texas counties.

Best regards for the new year,
Gil

MANUEL'S OBITUARY
Manuel Hernandez Jr. left us to be with the God on June 5, 2022. Manuel was born in San Antonio, Texas on April 5, 1943, to Manuel Hernandez Sr. and Juanita Vasquez. He was the eldest of seven siblings, ?five sisters and 1 brother. He married Porfiria (CJ) in February 1965.

In 1966, Manuel bought a one way ticket to Flint, Michigan with prosperity in mind. He stepped off the train in a t-shirt and shorts on a 22 degree January day. He promptly found the nearest payphone to let Tio Joe know he arrived. With only $10 in his pocket he applied for employment at General Motors and was hired 4 days later. Wanting the best for his family he moved them from San Antonio, Texas as soon as he possibly could. He worked for GM for 35 years before retiring in 2001.

He built a good life for his family and loved them with all his heart. Manuel loved music, the outdoors, and cook outs. He also built a library collection with subjects spanning economics, finance, and health to name a few topics. He was very curious and loved reading. He also enjoyed working with wood, and on his home. Manuel and CJ had 3 children, Brenda, Ray (1968-2021), and Orlando.

Manuel was preceded in death by his son, Ray Hernandez (June 9, 2021); his mother, Juanita V. Hernandez (June 18, 2016); his sister, Linda Garcia (Dec. 15, 2006), and his father, Manuel Hernandez, Sr. (January 11, 2003).

Manuel is survived by his loving wife, CJ, children, Brenda Hernandez Daraiseh (Dr. Suhail Daraiseh); Orlando Hernandez (Christina Hernandez); six grandchildren: Alia Hernandez Daraiseh, Rania Hernandez Daraiseh, Miguel Hernandez, Selena Hernandez, Alex Hernandez, Mariesa Hernandez-Alexander; he is also survived by his sisters: Esperanza Gonzales, Celia Ruiz, Hermine Mata, Lucy Purkiss, and one brother Juan Hernandez; nine nieces and two nephews, and many, many cousins.
