I have very little information on John Marshall except that he did live in Virginia and had several children. This family line has been thoroughly researched by others with several books written o the families. This family is not in direct decendancy for me but I put up this information for others.

Elizabeth Markham is said to be from the family which named of the village of Markham in Fauquier County, Virginia. This village apparently is listed in the Marshall family lineage stories.

John Marshall had a plantation called "Curls Neck" near Apppomattox that consisted of 1200 acres. The will was probated on May 26, 1752.

John Marshall is known as "John of the Forrest" because he built his house in the forrest instead of on a river. He was High Sheriff of Westmoreland County and lived in the same place until his death 1752. His father-in-law, Lewis Markham, had also been sheriff of Westmoreland County.

Elizabeth Markham Marshall deeded 200 acres of land at "Oak Hill" in Fauquier Co.,. to Thomas Marshall, the eldest son after the death of his father This land was later sold when Thomas Marshall, the oldest and most prolific son, began moving westward first into Prince William County where four children were born and later into Kentucky. As surveyor and often accompanied George Washington on his expeditions for Lord Fairfax. He later served as a Lieut. of Volunteers in Virginia Militia. He assisted in the building of Fort Necessity. He was an Major of the "Culpepper Minute Men" during the Revolution. He eventually become a Colonel in the 3rd Virginia Cavalry. He was a member of the House of Burgesses when it declared Virginia independence. As a resident of Kentucky he was a territorial delegate in the Virginia Legislature. They had fifteen children, the oldest of which became the first Chief Justice of the United States.
