Biography |
- March 1736/7 Thomas Marshall and wife Jane filed the administration account on the estate of Abraham Heath. On 6/18/1740 John White, eldest son of Stevens White, son of John White the elder, with wife Mary White, sold to Thomas Marshall and wife Jane Marshall 100A "Mitchells Lott." (Dryden, Som. Land, p. 297) Jane was living in 1748 when daughter Jane was born and probably 1754 when Martha was born. It's a guess that Jane didn't die until just before Thomas deeded away all his lands to his two sons in 1774. Ruth Dryden's Som. Land Records (p.369) shows 1774 Thomas Marshall, wife Grace Adams Marshall, gave to son Isaac Marshall 39A. The deed reads: On 20 April 1774 Thomas Marshall of Somerset County deeded to Isaac Marshall son of the aforesaid Thomas, of same, for love and affection and five shillings the plantation whereon Isaac now lives, 240 1/2 acres of Bostons Chance, 25 acres of Boston Green, 39 acres of Shoemaker Meadow, 19 2/3 acres of Bostons Purchase and 200 acres of Bostons Purchase (E:158). No wife relinquished dower on the 1774 deed. 1747 probably the Thomas Marshall of Somerset who purchased 50A "Venture" from Francis & Mary Carey of NC; his brother, Samuel, was named in will of Abigail Tomlinson of "Venture" On 6 March 1758 Samuel Adams sold to Thomas Marshall for £42.10 19 1/3 acres of Bostons Purchase and 58 2/3 acres of Shoemakers Meadow; Sarah wife of Samuel consenting (B:201). Samuel Adams was the son of Jacob and nephew to Philip Adams d. 1772, so this deed, plus the remuneration which seems to be fair market value, cannot lend weight to the argument that Grace Adams m. Thomas Marshall. 1730 in household of his brother Samuel at Pocomoke 100 With Jeffrey Long appointed gdn to children of Isaac Boston in Boston's will 4/30/1751. Probably the Thomas Marshall, Church Warden, Coventry Parish, 1763 (Torrence, p. 198) April 20, 1774 Stephen Marshall of Accomack Co. from Thomas (X) Marshall of Somerset: A gift of 4 tracts where Thomas now lives in Somerset - "Marshall's Inheritance", "Priveledge", "Turkey Trap", and "Mitchell's Lot" ? 481 acres. Somerset County, Liber F?O?27, p. 160 April 20, 1774 Thomas Marshall gave to Isaac Marshall 240 1/2A "Bostons Chance" with "Bostons Green," "Shoemakers Meadow," "Bostons Purchase," etc. with 523 2/3A. 1783 tax list shows Isaac Marshall with 240 1/2A "Bostons Chance." 1808 Thomas Marshall of Isaac sold 100A "Bostons Chance" to Asia Dicks. 1808 William Marshall of Isaac, wife Sarah, sold to brother Thomas Marshall 100A "Bostons Chance". (Dryden, Som. Land) Thomas had land at Saxis Island, Accomack Co., VA: 1776 Stephen stopped Accomack processioners from establishing the boundary line between his father, Thomas Marshall, and Daniel Hall (Acc Orders 1774-1777, p. 427)
