Hi David,

Thought I would just write by email. Facebook seems to be sending me some viruses according to my scan ware this morning!

The house is located in Salem Chapel Township, between Walkertown and Walnut Cove, NC.

David, you might remember that we corresponded a few years ago when I was trying to sell the contents of the farmhouse. I managed to inventory everything, but never followed through because my mother got sick and has been living with me for 3 years now. With my caregiver responsibilities, I have just been unable to find the time to continue that effort. We will eventually sell the contents and the house. Since my mother and I are the last of Col. Henry's land heirs, I would love to see the place go to someone in the lineage!! So when I can get things in order to sell, I hope I can call on you again to announce it to your email distribution. Just not ready now.

We have done a lot of work to the house and it is in very good condition for its age, but it needs a makeover.

I'm attaching a chart that links us back to Martin and a short copy of the history to jog your memory. We also have an abstract that traces the property deeds back 166 years as of 2005 that was presented to the governor with our application for the NC Century Farm designation.

Looking forward to keeping in touch by email and Wall!

Kind regards, David.

A Historic Site in Forsyth County

Henry Marshall was born in Albemarle County, Virginia in 1809, son of Irish immigrants, William and Mary Connolly Marshall. He came to North Carolina with his parents around 1820. In 1836 he bought a plantation on Salem Road (now Squire Marshall Rd.) where he built his home "The Cedars" in 1840. During those years he manufactured tobacco, raised fine horses and operated his large plantation. On June 13, 1845 Governor William Graham commissioned Henry a Colonel in the North Carolina Militia, and ordered him to organize and train a regiment of soldiers, which he did. Following the war, Col. Marshall was appointed Provost Marshal, with the special task of feeding the wives and children of the absent soldiers. After the war, Col. Marshall was one of many people who felt the county of Stokes should be divided because of the distance involved in traveling to the county seat in Germanton. In 1848 Col. Marshall ran as an "Independent Democrat" against the Whig and Democratic candidates on a platform of "County Division". He was elected, and served in the General Assembly four years. In 1849 he introduced the bill calling for the division of Stokes County. It was finally ratified in 1851 after long negotiations over naming the new county and the village adjoining Salem. In the end, Col. Marshall was asked to select the names. After the division, fellow war hero, Colonel Benjamin Forsyth's home was left in Stokes. Col. Marshall felt it would be fair to name the county Forsyth and the town Winston.

When Col. Marshall died in 1892, he left his plantation to his youngest son, John William. John William lived here his whole life, and willed the estate to his youngest son, James (Jimmy) Lee, Linda's Grandfather. He remarried after the death of his wife, Della, and moved to Winston-Salem where there was more work for his carpentry business. He signed the property over to his oldest son, Luke Moir. After two years of service, the Red Cross arranged Luke's release. He saved the home, literally from the auction block, during the depression years. Much of the land was sold, leaving only 40 acres. After Luke's death, we were astonished to learn his boot camp base was in Camp Croft, SC. Twenty- five years later, Gary grew up scavenging for old army relics, in a neighborhood built on that very site.

Helen Miles Marshall, Linda's mother, was the last of Jimmy's five children, born just after Della's 43rd birthday. Helen was only nine years old when Della died. James Lee, Jr., the second born son, was stranded at war in Europe during these hard times, but returned to help with the farm. Charles William returned from the war, married and moved to Winston-Salem. Rachel Earline, the third child, was 24 when Della died. She was forced to take on her mother's role and struggled to raise her sister, keep the farmhouse going and feed the field hands. She suffered from debilitating asthma, a complication of Scarlet Fever. Unable to make a living at farming, Luke went to work for Forsyth County Grounds Maintenance, where he retired. In the 60's, the Army Corp of Engineers built a 90-acre watershed lake across the foot of The Cedars. It was meant to protect Walnut Cove from flooding. Luke led the petition to get approval from all the neighboring landowners. The access road was built across his farm.

When Luke was too old to care for the place, he signed it over to James Lee, nick-named "Jiggs". Jiggs moved to Winston-Salem shortly after returning from war and took a job with Western Electric, where he retired with 30 years of service. He helped with the farm and the support of his sisters all along. Baby sister, Helen, left home and married in 1952. Linda was Helen's only child and grew up in the auxiliary care of her Aunt Earline, here at The Cedars. Her memories of the active farm days and the stories of her ancestors are cherished. When Uncle Jiggs died in 1991, he passed the farm to Linda & Gary, as he trusted their business instincts and their commitment to care for Helen and Earline. Earline passed away in 1999, but Helen now lives on the farm. Gary and Linda continue to honor their promise, working to preserve the farmhouse, grounds and barns.

Anita Strader sent the following email message to me on January 6, 2001:

David,
Thank you for the information about Martin Marshall's gravesite. I did not know that his son, William, was buried off Pine Hall Road (where my brother lives). If he does not know where the old family cemetery is located, he may know someone who does.

Salem Chapel Church is very familiar to me. (My father is buried there.) It was at Salem Chapel, as a very young child, that I first showed an interest in family history. I have a photo of Elizabeth Marshall Strader's tombstone, but not that of her father, Henry. The tombstone of Henry's wife, Mariah Vance, is engraved: "MARIAH wife of Col. H. Marshall". He was known as Henry, but I believe that to be his middle name.

I will gladly send the photos of the Marshall gravesites, by "snail mail", but it may be some months before this ex-Floridian ventures out to the cemeteries!

Hi David,

Thought I would just write by email. Facebook seems to be sending me some viruses according to my scan ware this morning!

The house is located in Salem Chapel Township, between Walkertown and Walnut Cove, NC.

David, you might remember that we corresponded a few years ago when I was trying to sell the contents of the farmhouse. I managed to inventory everything, but never followed through because my mother got sick and has been living with me for 3 years now. With my caregiver responsibilities, I have just been unable to find the time to continue that effort. We will eventually sell the contents and the house. Since my mother and I are the last of Col. Henry's land heirs, I would love to see the place go to someone in the lineage!! So when I can get things in order to sell, I hope I can call on you again to announce it to your email distribution. Just not ready now.

We have done a lot of work to the house and it is in very good condition for its age, but it needs a makeover.

I'm attaching a chart that links us back to Martin and a short copy of the history to jog your memory. We also have an abstract that traces the property deeds back 166 years as of 2005 that was presented to the governor with our application for the NC Century Farm designation.

Looking forward to keeping in touch by email and Wall!

Kind regards, David.
Linda

A Historic Site in Forsyth County

Henry Marshall was born in Albemarle County, Virginia in 1809, son of Irish immigrants, William and Mary Connolly Marshall. He came to North Carolina with his parents around 1820. In 1836 he bought a plantation on Salem Road (now Squire Marshall Rd.) where he built his home "The Cedars" in 1840. During those years he manufactured tobacco, raised fine horses and operated his large plantation. On June 13, 1845 Governor William Graham commissioned Henry a Colonel in the North Carolina Militia, and ordered him to organize and train a regiment of soldiers, which he did. Following the war, Col. Marshall was appointed Provost Marshal, with the special task of feeding the wives and children of the absent soldiers. After the war, Col. Marshall was one of many people who felt the county of Stokes should be divided because of the distance involved in traveling to the county seat in Germanton. In 1848 Col. Marshall ran as an "Independent Democrat" against the Whig and Democratic candidates on a platform of "County Division". He was elected, and served in the General Assembly four years. In 1849 he introduced the bill calling for the division of Stokes County. It was finally ratified in 1851 after long negotiations over naming the new county and the village adjoining Salem. In the end, Col. Marshall was asked to select the names. After the division, fellow war hero, Colonel Benjamin Forsyth's home was left in Stokes. Col. Marshall felt it would be fair to name the county Forsyth and the town Winston.

When Col. Marshall died in 1892, he left his plantation to his youngest son, John William. John William lived here his whole life, and willed the estate to his youngest son, James (Jimmy) Lee, Linda's Grandfather. He remarried after the death of his wife, Della, and moved to Winston-Salem where there was more work for his carpentry business. He signed the property over to his oldest son, Luke Moir. After two years of service, the Red Cross arranged Luke's release. He saved the home, literally from the auction block, during the depression years. Much of the land was sold, leaving only 40 acres. After Luke's death, we were astonished to learn his boot camp base was in Camp Croft, SC. Twenty- five years later, Gary grew up scavenging for old army relics, in a neighborhood built on that very site.

Helen Miles Marshall, Linda's mother, was the last of Jimmy's five children, born just after Della's 43rd birthday. Helen was only nine years old when Della died. James Lee, Jr., the second born son, was stranded at war in Europe during these hard times, but returned to help with the farm. Charles William returned from the war, married and moved to Winston-Salem. Rachel Earline, the third child, was 24 when Della died. She was forced to take on her mother's role and struggled to raise her sister, keep the farmhouse going and feed the field hands. She suffered from debilitating asthma, a complication of Scarlet Fever. Unable to make a living at farming, Luke went to work for Forsyth County Grounds Maintenance, where he retired. In the 60's, the Army Corp of Engineers built a 90-acre watershed lake across the foot of The Cedars. It was meant to protect Walnut Cove from flooding. Luke led the petition to get approval from all the neighboring landowners. The access road was built across his farm.

When Luke was too old to care for the place, he signed it over to James Lee, nick-named "Jiggs". Jiggs moved to Winston-Salem shortly after returning from war and took a job with Western Electric, where he retired with 30 years of service. He helped with the farm and the support of his sisters all along. Baby sister, Helen, left home and married in 1952. Linda was Helen's only child and grew up in the auxiliary care of her Aunt Earline, here at The Cedars. Her memories of the active farm days and the stories of her ancestors are cherished. When Uncle Jiggs died in 1991, he passed the farm to Linda & Gary, as he trusted their business instincts and their commitment to care for Helen and Earline. Earline passed away in 1999, but Helen now lives on the farm. Gary and Linda continue to honor their promise, working to preserve the farmhouse, grounds and barns.

Heritage Line:
Colonel William Henry Marshall 1809-1892
John William Marshall 1848 - 1921
James Lee Marshall 1886 - 1952
Luke Moir Marshall 1912 - 1987
James Lee Marshall, Jr. 1918 - 1991

What this chart doesn't show is that Linda (below) is the daughter of James Lee Marshall's younger sister, Helen. (DWM - 02/01/2010)
