     The assumption that Patience Marshall, who married Abraham Lankford in 1813, is the daughter of James and Patience Marshall, is based on the fact that in the 1800 Census, James had 2 daughters aged 10-16, and by 1810 he had 3 daughters. Triffany is the only daughter clearly named in the records. However, this Patience, who could have been named after her mother, is possibly one of the daughters listed in the 1800 and 1810 Census.
