He married ELIZABETH PURNELL. (ELIZABETH PURNELL is #116.) ELIZABETH was born in Worcester Co., MD 1720. ELIZABETH was the daughter of JOHN PURNELL (Mjr.) and ELIZABETH RACKLIFF. ELIZABETH died about 1803 in Worcester Co., MD. ELIZABETH's will was probated in Worcester Co., MD, December 6, 1803. An Elizabeth Marshall died intestate and bonds posted by John P.

He made a will in Worcester Co., MD, March 23, 1797. JOHN's will was probated in Worcester Co., MD, August 15, 1797. (Ruth T.

(Ruth Dryden, Will Book JBR, p. 6; Suzanne B. Hurley, Research of Langmaid Farm, 1998)

Bible records from a Bible belonging to Gordon A. Marshall indicate John was called "Uncle Jack."

JOHN MARSHALL and ELIZABETH PURNELL had the following children:

+ 68 i. ZADOCK⁶ MARSHALL.

69 ii. RACHEL MARSHALL (#121). RACHEL died August 13, 1810 in Worcester Co., MD. Notation by John Marshall in family Bible gives date and says "my sister." She married SAMUEL ENNIS 1800. (SAMUEL ENNIS is #144.)

70 iii. WILLIAM PURNELL MARSHALL (#123). WILLIAM died 1844 in Worcester Co., MD. He married MARGARET (wife of William P. Marshall). (MARGARET (wife of William P. Marshall) is #146.)

He made a will in Worcester Co. MD, April 14, 1844. William's will is noted by Ruth Dryden in her abstract Book LPS for Worcester County as too faded to read.

WILLIAM's will was probated in Worcester Co., MD, June, 1844. William received the tract, "Hudsons Ruin" from his father's will.

This is probably the William Marshall, Captain, 9th Regiment, Worcester County, August 11, 1812 "Republican Star." (ref: F. Edward Wright, Maryland Eastern Shore Newspaper Abstracts)

His will is faded and out of focus on the microfilm.

+ 71 iv. ISAAC MARSHALL (Capt.).

72 v. LEVIN MARSHALL (#15848).

+ 73 vi. JOHN PURNELL MARSHALL (Capt.) was born February, 1761.

+ 74 vii. SARAH "SALLY" ELIZABETH MARSHALL was born September 28, 1763.

75 viii. POLLY MARSHALL (#120) was born in Worcester Co., MD 1797. POLLY died April 19, 1832 in Worcester Co., MD, at 34 years of age. She married THOMAS N. WILLIAMS. (THOMAS N. WILLIAMS is #16979.) Bible records from the John Marshall Bible show Mary Marshall Williams, wife of Thomas N. Williams died in 1832, age 35. Thomas N. Williams was shown as an heir of the estate of Zadock Marshall. It is thought that Mary "Polly" Marshall, daughter of John & Elizabeth, is the Mary who married Thomas Williams. She and her husband would be heirs of Zadock Purnell, as her mother was Zadock's sister.

Marriage records show a Polly Marshall married Boaz Ennis in 1803. This Polly was only 6 years old in 1803, so the Polly who married Boaz is unplaced.

76 ix. THOMAS PURNELL MARSHALL (#1115) was born in Worcester Co., MD April 26, 1821. Notation in family Bible of John Marshall showing "my brother."
