     Thomas was born in 1710 at Accomack Co, VA.² He married Elizabeth Scarburgh, daughter of Edmund [34] Scarburgh the younger and Priscilla (-----), on 31 October 1735 at Accomack Co, VA.² Colonel Thomas Hall purchased 475 acres of Tangier Island from Charles Scarburgh (wife Mary Ann). This was was confirmed in Charles Scarburgh's will of 1762. In 1763 Colonel Thomas Hall and his wife Elizabeth (Scarburgh) sold the 475 acres to William Andrews who had married Colonel Hall's daughter Anna Maria Hall. In 1778 Andrews sold it as 450 acres to Joseph Crockett. It has been said that the Island was first settled in 1686 by a John Crockett and his eight sons, who had come over from the Western Shore, but that does not seem to be substantiated by the records. The Crockett family is known to have been on the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland at an early date. If they had possibly come to the island at the date indicated, they would have come as cattle-tenders or other tenants of the Scarburgh-West owners. There is no record of a Crockett owning land in Acc Co before this 1778 purchase, and not a Crockett will is recorded there, down to 1800.

Thomas Hall was the first recorded County Lieutenant in Acc Co. At the time of Hall's appointment, Colonel Covington Corbin was listed as Commanding Officer of the Acc Co Militia, and Lt. Colonel Thomas Bayly as second in command. This was in 1775. Lt. Col. Bayly received his commission on 25 Apr 1775 and Col. Corbin received his on 27 Jun 1775. After Thomas Hall's death in 1775, George Corbin replaced him as County Lieutenant. In the first days after the Declaration of Independence the county militias were technically under the command of a County Lieutenant, with a Colonel, Lt. Col., and Major working with him. For a number of years the County Lieutenant was effectively the Commander of the Militia, with the rank of Colonel, even though each Militia unit had its own Colonel, Lt. Col., and Major as field officers..^4,5 Thomas died before 31 October 1775 at Accomack Co, VA.⁶

     Laban was born circa 1750 at Accomack Co, VA. Laban served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as Laban Mariner, a seaman in the Navy..¹

     He was a little apart from his brothers on the 1784 Acc Co tax list. He was 26-45 (42) in the 1800 Census, with one male in his household, age 10-16, and 2 young females, one under 10 and another 10-16. He was over 45 (52) in 1810, with a male under 10 in his household, but no young females. He was not listed in the 1820 Acc Census, indicating that he died between 1810 and 1820. Benjamin Marshall bought approximately 130 acres of land and marsh on St. Georges or Saxis Island between 30 Sep 1799 and 7 Aug 1804 (Acc Deeds 1797-1800, pp. 336 & 405; D.C. Wills & Deeds 1800-1806, pp. 27 & 31; Deeds 1804-1807, p. 151). The first parcel he bought was with his brother Samuel from George Matthews on 30 Sep 1799 and was bordered by Isaac Marshall's land. This Isaac would have been either the son of Thomas and brother of Stephen who also lived on Saxis for a while or Isaac's son Isaac as Isaac the elder died circa 1788. This is another connection between the Bayside Marshalls and the Som Co Marshalls. On 16 Oct 1800 Benjamin Marshall, Senr. bought 30 acres from John Martin and his wife Nancy for 20 pounds. The land was on St. Georges Island or Sexes near the mouth of Pocomoke River - next to lands of Abraham Marshall __ degrees, __ poles to a line formerly of Stephen Marshall and heirs to the River Side, thence South 26 degrees - - - - 30 A - - - - the Houses fencing Woods & Marsh to the same appurtaining or in any wise belonging & also the Revision Rights & Estates Interest benefit claim & Demand whatever of him the said John Martin & Nancy his wife of in & to & Singular the said Premifses & of in & all Yearly Rents Profits Rivers uppon any demise or lease of the said Premifses or any par thereof. There were no witness. John Martin & wife Nancy appeared in court and acknowledged their signatures (Acc District Court Wills & Deeds, 1800-06, p. 96). Benjamin Marshall and his wife Euphamia sold this land between 14 Sep 1803 and 6 Mar 1809 in four separate deeds (Acc Deeds 1800-04, p. 428; 1804-07, p. 673; 1807-10, pp. 57 & 285). On 26 May 1807, he brought a suit against his brother Sampson and Sampson's older sons John and Henry for a debt (Acc Orders 1806-07, p. 324). Benjamin lost his suit and on 30 Jun 1807 he was declared insolvent (p. 352). He owed Walter Wessells, Abel Coleburn, Jessee Duncan and Thomas Fletcher. Benjamin and his brother Samuel were renting Sanford Charity land from 1800 through 1809. Benjamin was born circa 1758 at Accomack Co, VA.² Benjamin served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. Benjamin Marshall served as a seaman in the Virginia State Navy in the Revolutionary War. On 29 May 1832, it was ordered by the Acc Court that Nancy Marshall and Michael Marshall were the only heirs at law of Benjamin Marshall (Sr.) who served in the Virginia State Navy in the Revolutionary War. This would imply that Benjamin Sr's. wife, children and other grandchildren (other than Nancy and Michael) would have died before 1832..^3,4 He married Euphamia (-----) circa 1780.⁵ Benjamin was named in his brother's will on 8 August 1805 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as a brother Benjamin Marshall Sr. in the will of Abraham Marshall..⁶ Benjamin died before 1820.¹

     The proof that James Marshall was the son of Samuel Marshall, Sr. is based on two facts. First, James Marshall "of Samuel" bought a bed quilt and a sheet at the sale of Susannah Sparrow's personal property on 18 Jan 1806 (Acc Wills 1806-09, p480), and second, he could not have been the son of Samuel Marshall, Jr. as James was still living at the time of Samuel Marshall, Jr.'s death and James was not listed among his heirs. Therefore, James must have been the son of Samuel Marshall, Sr. On 26 Jan 1796, it was ordered: "On the motion of the Overseers of the Poor for William Ross and Sally his wife by Edmund Bayly their attorney against James Marshall (son of Samuel) for arrerages of a Bastard Child." Plantiffs to recover 17 pounds 10 shillings. Phamy Marshall (possible wife of James' brother Benjamin), a witness, to get 54 Shillings for one day in court (Acc Orders 1793-96, p. 416). In this regard, there was a Sally Ross, Wm (Wats I?) in the 1800 Acc Census, Acc Parish, with 2 males under 10, 1 male 10-16, 1 female 26-45, 1 female under 10, and 1 female 10-16. The connection to Sally and William Ross, if any, has not been determined. James Marshall, "J.B." (Jenkins Bridge) is listed in the 1800 Census as 26-45 (35) years of age. (There was another James Marshall in the 1800 Census, in Acc Parish, Acc Co, but "H.T." is listed after his name and it is assumed that he was from Horntown and a member of the Seaside Marshalls.) There were two males in the household of James of "J.B." under 10 (sons Aaron, 6 and Zac, 0). There were 2 females 10-16 (daughters Patience, 12 and Triffany, 10). The 1810 Census gives James Marshall still between 26-45 (45), with 1 male under 10 (son Zac, 10), another male 10-16 (son Aaron, 16), 1 female under 10 (unknown daughter, 9, (-----) Marshall, b.c. 1801), 2 females 10-16 (daughters Patience, 22, and Triffany, 20 - ages do not match). In 1820, James Marhsall was over 45 (55), with 4 males, one 10-16 (unknown son, 10, (-----) Marshall, b.c. 1810, who married Milcha), one 16-18 (unaccounted for), and two 16-26 (sons Aaron, 26 and Zac, 20). There was also 1 female 10-16 (unaccounted for) and 1 female 16-26 (unknown daughter, 19). His daughter Patience would have been out of the house by 1820, as she married in 1813, and his daughter Triffany would have also been out of the house, as she married in 1816. In 1830, he was 50-60 (65), with no other males in the household, and only one female other than his wife, which was 15-20 (unaccounted for). In 1840 he was 70-80 (75). In 1850, James Marshall was 93 (85) and wife Patience, who listed her birth place as Maryland, was 80. No record has been found of James Marshall buying or selling land. While none of the census records give his occupation, it is supposed he was a waterman. Since James Marshall's marriage to Patience was 10 Sep 1791 and the ages of his oldest 2 daughters, Patience and Triffany, were 10-16 in the 1800 Census, he may have had an earlier marriage. Until more can be determined on this, an earlier marriage is assumed. However, since Triffany was named as James' wife Patience's daughter in Patience's will in 1851, it is assumed that Triffany was a daughter of Patience. James was born circa 1757 at Saxis Island, Acc Co, VA. According to the 1800 census the earliest he could have been born was 1755 (he was age 26-45). The 1800 census puts his birth at 1857..^2,3 James served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. "It is ordered to be certified that it appears to this court by satisfactory evidence that James Marshall of Sykes Island, to whom was recently granted a pension, was a resident of this county and died in the said county on or about the 9th day of January 1851, and that he left a widow, Patience Marshall, who is still living" (Acc Orders 1851-1854, p5). Pension record # W.7390 for James and Patience Marshall indicates that he was in fact granted a pension for service in Acc Co as a private in company commanded by Captain Jesse Dickerson of the Regiment commmanded by Col. Simpson in the Virginia line for 2 years. His pension (certificate # 32.847) was granted at Richmond in the amount of $80 per year and was later granted to his widow, Patience Marshall, after his death on 9 Jan 1851. [INCLUDE MORE INFO FROM HIS PENSION FILE HERE]. Turman & Walker show he was a seaman in the Virginia State Navy..⁴ He married Patience (-----) on 10 September 1791.⁵ He was listed as a resident in the census report in 1800 at Accomack Parish, Acc Co, VA.^2,6,7,8,9 James was listed as a head of household in the census of in 1850 at Accomack Parish, Acc Co, VA. He was shown as James Marshall the head of HH#798, age 93, born in VA. Listed with him was Patience Marshall, age 80, born in MD..³ James died on 9 January 1851.¹⁰

     John was born on 5 August 1757 at Coventry Parish, Som Co, MD.¹

     Samuel was born circa 1745 at Somerset Co, MD.² He married Triffinoh (-----) circa 1770.³ Samuel served in the Revolutionary War in in 1775 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as Samuel Marshall, a soldier in the Militia. He enlisted in 1778 and served 2 years or more as a Private in Capt. Jesse Dickerson's Company, Col. Southy Simpson's Virginia Regiment..^4,5,6 Samuel was named in a deed in after 1798 at Accomack Co, VA.^7,8,9 Samuel Marshall was not less than 90 at the time of his death. He had served in the militia during the Revolutionary War, with Robert Chase, keeping guard under Capt. Jesse Dickerson at Holdens Creek. This record establishes his birth circa 1745. On 29 Dec 1763 a petition brought by John Torpley against "Samuel Martial, Junr" and another against "Samuel Martial, Senr" were both dismissed (Acc Orders 1753-63, pp. 649 & 650). He was called Samuel, Junr on the 1784 tax list, Samuel on later tax lists and in census records, and Samuel, Senr in deeds of 1800 and 1826. The following was recorded in the Complete Record - District Court, 1791-94, p. 551 - 17 May 1794 - "Pleas at the Courthouse. On 20 Jun 1793 came Littleton Sterling by Thomas Evans his attorney. Bill against Samuel Marshall and Solomon Marshall in custody and of a plea of Tresspass Assault & Battery - on ___ day of ___ in the year of our Lord 1792 at the Parish of Accomack in the County ofsd with force & armes to wit with Staves and guns made an afsault upon the said Littleton Sterling & then and there beat wounded & evilly treated, so that his life was greatly dispaired of and other enormities to him then & there against the peace of the Commonwealth, & to the damage of the said Littleton Sterling of one hundred pounds & therefore he bringeth suit & c - - - - - -. A jury trial - Defts are guilty - fined Forty Shillings." On p. 553 of the same record book, exactly same as above, only suit brought by Molly, wife of Littleton Sterling. The assumption here is that the two suits were actually against Samuel and Sampson Marshall, rather than Samuel and Solomon, assuming that the court recorder made an error in the name of Solomon. This assumption is based on there being no record of a Solomon Marshall among the Bayside Marshalls during this period, there being no Samuel Marshall among the Seaside Marshalls of this period, and the fact that Samuel and Sampson Marshall were brothers on the Bayside during this period. On 26 Aug 1799, Samuel Marshall sold to John Martin, Junr, 30 acres with appurtenances on "Sefsexes" for 20 pounds. This land was bounded on the south by Benjamin Marshall and on the north by the Pocomoke Sound. Witnesses to the deed were Edmond Bayly, William Gibb, Wm Robt Custis and John Wise. Edmond Bayly was the clerk. On that same date, John Martin, Junr, also entered a bond to Samuel Marshall for 200 pounds with the land as colateral (Acc District Court Wills & Deeds, 1789-99, pp. 423 & 424). No record has been found of Samuel Marshall buying this land. One assumption is that he inherited it, or a part of it, from Martins. This assumption is based on information in a deed of 16 Oct 1800 from John Martin and his wife Nancy to Benjamin Marshall, Senr, on Saxis, which mentioned revision rights & estates interest. For more details on this deed, see Benjamin Marshall, Sr.'s record. No records have been found of Acc Co Martins dying testate circa 1799. A Henry Martin died intestate by 24 Jun 1799 (Acc Orders 1798-1800, p. 145). Owen Darby was his administrator. Samuel Marshall and John Martin, Junr. could have had rights in the above land through their wives, if they were sisters. On 30 September 1799, Samuel Marshall bought 29.5 acres of land "on St. Georges or Sexes Island" from George Matthews and wife Margaret for 70 lbs 16 shillings. In April 1800, Samuel and Tripha his wife sold 29.5 acres on "St. Georges or Sexes Island" to Benjamin Marshall for 87 lbs. This land was described as beginning at a great marked pine standing near the marsh dividing the same from the lands of Benjamin and on the division line of Isaac Marshall land dividing the land from the within named Samuel Marshall land to be carried then N 62 W 88 poles with a line of Isaac Marshall heirs to the sound or river side, then S 26 out 27(?) poles, thence S 36 E 95 poles, thence S 26 W 42.5 poles, thence S 62 E 50 poles, thence N 32.5 E 14 poles, thence N 11 E 20 poles, thence with a sight line to the first beginning namely a pine marked with Benjamin Marshall, containing 29.5 acres more or less and singular(?) the houses, fencing and woods marsh to the same . . . . There were no witnesses and Samuel and Tripha Marshall both signed with their "X" marks. Tripha appeared in person and consented to the deed being recorded on 15 May 1800 (Acc District Court Deeds & Wills 1800-06, pp. 27-29). On 7 June 1800 Samuel and Benjamin Marshall, together, bought 29 acres on Sexes Island from William Whittington of Worcester Co, MD, for 5 shillings. On 2 Sep 1826, "Samuel Marshall, Senr" and wife Triffinah (she signed as Triphana) sold 50 acres on Saxis Island to Aaron Marshall and Zachariah Marshall for $125. There is no record of Samuel Marshall buying this land. He likely inherited it as closest relative of his son William, who bought it in 1823 and died intestate in 1826 (see William of Samuel later). No record has been found of what happened to the land Samuel and his brother Benjamin bought together from William Whittington. The Acc Co Census for 1800 shows Samuel Marshall, "Saxis Island," as over 45 years of age (55). There were three other males in his household, one under 10, one 16-26, and one 26-45. There were 8 daughters in 1800. In 1810, Samuel Marshall was again over 45 years (65), with two males between 10-16 in his household. There were 6 daughters in 1810. In 1820, Samuel, over 45 years (75), had a male aged 16-26 (Wm. of Samuel married 1817) and a male 16-18 in his household. Samuel Marshall's name does not appear in the 1830 census (85). He was likely living with one of his children by this time. Samuel died on 15 February 1835 at Accomack Co, VA.⁵ Administration of Samuel's estate was filed on 28 April 1851 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that Samuel Marshall's "of Saxis Island" estate was administered to James W. Custis on 28 Apr 1851. Peter F. Browne & Robert J. Poulson securities. When Samuel, Jr. died, intestate, he had only three living children: Washington Marshall, Milly Lewis and Elizabeth Tyler. No widow was named in the order giving his heirs.¹⁰
