Generation No. 1
1. WILLIAM2 MARSHALL (MOSES1) was born April 01, 1815 in Columbiana Co , Ohio, and died July 11, 1866 in Olmsted, Pulaski Co., Illinois. He married REBECCA DARST January 21, 1838 in Meigs Co., Ohio, daughter of JOHN DURST and FRANEY OVERHOLTZER. She was born November 24, 1818 in Meigs Co., Ohio1, and died August 04, 1862 in Olmsted, Pulaski Co., Illinois.
Notes for WILLIAM MARSHALL:
William Marshall, son of Moses and Mary (Adams) Marshall is listed in the
census of Wilkesville Township, Gallia County (adjacent to Meigs County),
Ohio, for 1840 with two children, a son and a daughter, both under 5 years of
age.
The census of Pulaski County, Illinois, for 1850 and 1860 lists him as a resident. The census of 1860 has him a resident of township 15, range 12. He lived near the town of Olmsted, where he owned a farm. The census of 1850 calls him a planter and a cooper.
Rebecca (Darst) Marshall, his wife, died August 4, 1862, and was buried in a family cemetery on the Marshall farm. Stories handed down in the Marshall family indicate that Rebecca (Darst) Marshall died from grief over the marriage and removal of her daughter, Emma, who was very close to her mother.
In the family cemetery were also buried two daughters, Malisse Edmonia and Lydia. The latter drowned herself in the Ohio River as a result of the marriage of her sister, Emma.
July 11, 1866, William Marshall died on his farm, where his son Martin Van Buren Marshall and his family were living, following the death of Rebecca (Darst) Marshall. He was also buried in the family cemetery.
In 1929, an inquiry regarding the family cemetery was made of the then owner, G. E. Curt. He stated that he came to the Marshall farm about 1899,but at that time there were no markers or signs of graves, although older residents of the area said the cemetery had been on the farm. Avis (Hawkins) Gladden (1873-1936), daughter of Emma (Marshall) Hawkins, and grand-daughter of William and Rebecca (Darst) Marshall, recalled that as a child she visited her Uncle Martin Marshall's farm quite often and played with his children. At that time there was a family cemetery fenced in, with markers.

Notes for CHARLES CARROLL MARSHALL:
Charles Carroll Marshall was 12 years old when his mother died and his uncle,
Robert Marshall (1803-1878) took him to his home in Kingston, Adams
County, Illinois. There he was given a home until he became 21, when his
uncle gave him $450 and a team of horses with a wagon.
He went down to Cairo, Alexander County, Illinois, then to Mayfield (Graves County) or Columbus (Hickman County) Kentucky. About 1871 or 1872 he returned to Olmsted, Pulaski County, Illinois where he later married.
After their marriage they lived at Anna (Union County), Illinois, and at Cairo (Alexander County) Illinois and later in and near the inland community of Purdy, McNairy County, Tennessee (about 6 miles from Bethel Springs). Purdy was quite a town at one time, but when the railroad was built, it went through Selmer (about 7 miles from Purdy) and Purdy went down to nothing.
At one time, Charles Carroll Marshall owned over five hundred acres of cut-over land in Mississippi County, Missouri. In 1890 he sold part to his sister, Emma (Marshall) Hawkins (1843-1898), the wife of Charles Jerome Hawkins (1840-1915), the brother of Harriet Eliza Hawkins.
Harriet Eliza Hawkins died of influenza on the farm at Purdy, January 10, 1923. On December 4, 1925, Charles Carroll Marshall died at the home of his son, John Manford Marshall (1878-1945) in Cairo, Illinois. Both are buried in Spencer Heights Cemetery , Mounds, Pulaski County, Illinois.
Charles Carroll Marshall was tall with dark brown eyes and light brown hair.
