- 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.
