100. Adrian^K Marshall (George^L)⁽⁷³⁶⁾ was born in St. Marys Co, MD circa 1665. Adrian died circa 1717 in Somerset Co, MD.

He married Elizabeth Long 1701 in Maryland.(737) Elizabeth was born 19 Feb 1671/2 in Morumsco, Som Co, MD. Elizabeth⁽⁷³⁸⁾ was the daughter of Samuel Long and Jane Minshall. Elizabeth died March 1716/7 in Somerset Co, MD, at 45 years of age. Elizabeth's will was probated 21 Mar 1716/7 in Somerset Co, MD.

Adrian was living after 1700/1 in Somerset Co, MD. Adrian Marshall was mentioned in his maternal grandmother's (Elizabeth (Potter) Green) will. He was evidently under 21 and left "my pewter and brass." Adrian moved from St. Mary's Co, to Somerset Co, MD, by 1701. On 2 Jun 1713 Adrian bought "Long Lott" from Randall and Sarah Long, land granted to Samuel Long 24 Oct 1679 in Somerset Co. Randall was Adrian's brother-in-law and Samuel was his father-in-law. Adrian's children were born in the Morumsco Section of Somerset Co. "Marumsco" Creek is shown on current maps and charts as due north and across the Pocomoke Sound from Saxis Island's North End Point. This close proximity to Saxis and Acc Co would explain why Adrian's descendants were in both Somerset and Acc Co. Adrian was still living on 13 Sep 1716 when he witnessed a bond among his wife's brothers to divide their inherited land, but he died before his wife made her will seven months later on 12 Mar 1716/17.

Adrian Marshall and Elizabeth Long had the following children:
