| Biography |
- 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.
