     Sampson Marshall's name appeared on the Acc Co 1784 tax list, grouped with 4 of his brothers. He was on the 1787 tax list "A" with no white males 16-20, which implied that he had no sons born before 1771. His only tithables were 1 horse or mule and 2 head of cattle. On 1 Nov 1787 he was a defendent in a suit "William Warrington administrator of Joseph Warrington vs. John Parks and Sampson Marshall" (Acc Orders 1787-1790, p. 50). In 1790 he was a juror (Acc Orders 1787-1790, p. 583). On 24 Nov 1794 his name appeared as witness to a Beavens/Absolem Lewis deed involving land near the mouth of Muddy Creek (Acc Deed 1793-1797, p. 217). On 23 May 1795 he purchased 100 acres of land and marsh from Arthur Watson for 3 pounds 10 shillings. It was at the mouth of Cattail Creek, running a south course to include the Indian Ridge and the Cross Ridge together with all improvements appurtaining (Acc Deeds 1793-1797, p. 278). Sampson's oldest son, Henry Marshall, witnessed the deed. On May 15, 1800 he and his wife Mary sold this same 100 acres to Absalom Lewis for 4 pounds 10 shillings (Acc D.C. Wills & Deeds 1800-1806, p. 29). The 1800 Census shows Sampson Marshall "Saxis I.," as over 45 years old (50). His oldest son Henry was not in Sampson's household in 1800 as he was listed separately as Henry Marshall "C.T." assumed to mean Cattail. His 2 daughters were both married and out of the house before 1800. There were 5 other males in Sampson's household: 1 under 10 (Sampson's grandson son Isaac, 6, s/o Robert), 2 aged 10-16 (Sampson, 15, & Samuel, 15), and 2 aged 16-26 (Robert, 25 and John, 20). There were 3 females: 1 under 10 (Sampson's granddaughter Elizabeth, 4, d/o Robert), 1 aged 16-26 (Robert's first wife, 25), and 1 aged 26-45 (Sampson's wife Mary, 45). In 1810 Sampson Marshall was again listed as over 45 (60). Evidently his son Robert was still living at home since he was not listed separately. The other males listed were: 1 male 10-16 (Isaac, 16, s/o Robert) and 2 males 16-26 (Sampson, 25 and Robert, 35) who's age does not match). Apparently 2 sons had married between 1800 and 1810 and moved out of the house. This would have been John, who married in 1802, and Samuel, who married in 1809. There were 3 females listed in addition to Sampson wife who was over 45 (55). One was under 10 ((-----) Marshall, 5, d/o Robert and Ester), 1 aged 10-16 (Elizabeth, 14, d/o Robert), and 1 aged 26-45 (Ester, 30, 2nd w/o Robert). A Sampson Marshall appears in 1820 living near Chesire and Lucas families, but since his age was under 45, he was likely Sampson Sr.'s son Sampson Jr. Evidently Sampson Sr. died intestate, without a will or administration, between 1810 and 1820. It appears that his widow Polly (Mary), over 45 years old, was listed next to John Hall and James Chesire in 1820. The descendants of Sampson and Mary Marshall apparently lived in the area of Cattail and Messongo Creeks. Sampson was born circa 1750 at Accomack Co, VA.² He was the son of Samuel (78) Marshall and Grace Adams. He married Mary 'Polly' (-----) circa 1770.³ Sampson was named in a deed in on 23 May 1795 at on Cattail Creek, Acc Co, VA.⁴ He was listed as a resident in the census report in 1800 at Accomack Parish, Acc Co, VA.² Sampson was living at Saxis/Cattail Ck, Acc Co, VA.¹ Sampson died circa 1815 at Accomack Co, VA.⁵

     Mary (-----) Marshall is mentioned as wife of Sampson in a deed of 15 May 1800, when Sampson and wife Mary sold 100 acres at the mouth of Cattail Creek to Absolem Lewis. Her b.c. 1755 is based on being 26-45 in 1800 and the birth of her oldest son Henry, b.c. 1772, when she would have been 17. Mary was born circa 1755.² She married Sampson Marshall Sr. circa 1770.³ Mary was named in a deed in on 15 May 1800 at on Cattail Creek, Acc Co, VA.¹
