 J (a) This volume is intended for a book of reference. To this 
 
 end it is furnished with an ample index. I have dealt in facts, 
 rather than panegyric. I have flattered no one, and have written 
 nothing in malice. It has been a labor of love. I have spent two 
 years upon the work, and my expenses are freely contributed. 
 Though pecuniary assistance has been proffered, I have accepted 
 nothing. It cannot be said that my book is written in the interest 
 of one, more than another. To use an apothegm, I have written 
 for mine, not for myself. I admit that kindest words have been be¬ 
 stowed on those I knew and loved. It could not be otherwise. Re¬ 
 member, my book is the tribute of affection, as well as the record of 
 heraldry. Doubtless, there are hundreds whose honors have not 
 been fully given. I did not know them, and their friends failed to 
 notice my repeated calls for information. I knew most of the Ken¬ 
 tucky Marshalls well. When I determined to write a memorial of 
 the kindred, in 1884, I issued a Genealogical Chart of the family, 
 and went myself through Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland, that 
 I might meet my relatives and solicit information for my work. I 
 met hundred of noble, generous aud hospitable people. I gathered 
 much information on my way, and have since kept up an active cor¬ 
 respondence with many of the family. 
 
 The chronicles of our family will not be completed by the pub¬ 
 lication of this volume. The next generation will call for another. 
 I am now too far advanced in life to hope to issue a second memorial; 
 but I trust it will not be regarded presumptuous, if I offer to be 
 the depository of records and information that may be needed by 
 the future herald. So, while I live, I will take pleasure in preserv¬ 
 ing in good form for future use, every record, ancient or modern, 
 touching any member of our family. I therefore solicit correspon¬ 
 dence and genealogical data. 
 
 THE CHART. 
 
 ( b ) An important feature in this work is the Genealogical 
 Chart. I have often contemplated the unnatural and unintelligible

 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 family tables constructed in various forms, and have thought that 
 something more simple and comprehensive might be invented. After 
 repeated trials and changes of form, I adopted the plan of the chart 
 appended to this volume. It seems to combine more anvantages 
 than any form heretofore used. Names may be indexed, and lin¬ 
 eages traced with facility. The several generations are distinct. 
 Children appear in the order of birth beneath their parents. With 
 the index, the name of any one may be found in a moment, and his 
 ancestry and posterity may be seen at a glance. If such a form of 
 genealogical table has ever been used, I have not heard of it. 
 
 EXPLANATIONS. 
 
 (c) b. signifies born; d., died; dr., daughter; s., son; =, mar¬ 
 ried. 
 
 In genealogical tables of families which have intermarried with 
 the Marshalls, such as the Amblers, the Picketts, etc., the first gen¬ 
 eration indicated by “A” in the left hand margin, will be in CAP¬ 
 ITALS. The second generation indicated by “ B ” in the margin, 
 will be set to the right three-eighths of an inch. The third gener¬ 
 ation will be indicated by “ C ” in the margin, and will be set to the 
 right six-eighths of an inch. Brothers and sisters will follow each 
 other in the order of birth, and be numbered 1,2, 3, etc. When ever 
 one of the Marshall family is reached, it will be indicated by placing 
 the name in small capitals, followed by the number of the name 
 in the chart, where the posterity, if any, of that person will be found. 
 
 The small letters, a, b, c, etc., are to facilitate reference by divid¬ 
 ing the sections or numbers into paragraphs. 
 
 Where the chart contains all the information I possess of an in¬ 
 dividual, he will not be noticed in the sketches.

 ( 2 ) THEIR ORIGIN. 
 
 (2) THE MARSHALLS — THEIR ORIGIN. 
 
 £) Tradition is the only authority the Marshall family have for claim¬ 
 ing descent from William le Mareschal, who came over to Eng¬ 
 land with the army of the Norman conqueror. As his name implies, 
 he was a commander in the army of invasion. From him was de¬ 
 scended John Marshall, nephew of the great Earl of Pembroke. 
 The estates of the latter were on the border of Wales. After the 
 death of King John, he was Mareschal of England. After the 
 crowning of the infant King Henry III, he was chosen Protector 
 of the Kingdom. He had married a daughter of Richard, Earl of 
 Pembroke, surnamed Strongbow, who in 1172, in the reign of Henry 
 II, had conquered the Irish, and re-instated Dermot, King of Lein¬ 
 ster. For his services he had been rewarded with the hand of Eva, 
 the King’s daughter. On the death of Strongbow, William, Earl 
 of Pembroke, succeeded to his estates in Ireland. As Protector of 
 England and Guardian of Henry III, he sent his nephew, John 
 Marshall, to Ireland, and constituted him Mareschal of Ireland. 
 This John Marshall is mentioned by Irish historians as the leader of 
 the Irish nobility, in their efforts to gain for that Island the benefits 
 of Magna Gharta. After the confiscation of the Pembroke estates 
 in Ireland, we hear no more of the Marshall name, until it appears 
 in history in 1558, at the fall of Calais, in the reign of Queen Mary. 
 Capt. John Marshall there distinguished himself, and was severely 
 wounded at the capture of the city. He returned to Ireland, and 
 there died. From him descended John Marshall, who was a Cap¬ 
 tain at the battle of Edgehill in the reign of Charles I. Being an 
 Episcopalian, he did not follow the fortunes of his deposed Sovereign, 
 but came to America about 1650, and settled, first, at Jamestown, 
 Va., and afterwards removed to Westmoreland County, in the same 
 colony. He became distinguished in the Indian wars. He appears 
 to have left no will. His son Thomas, an humble farmer, here died 
 in 1704. The second son of Thomas was John, known as John 
 Marshall of the “Forest.” With him my chart commences. 
 
 Perhaps there is no living depository of the traditions of the 
 Marshall family entitled to more credit than Col. Charles A. Mar¬ 
 shall (188), of Mason county, Kentucky. He is one of the eight 
 living grandchildren of Col. Thomas Marshall. He was reared at 
 the house where his grandfather had passed the last years of his life,

 (2) THEIR ORIGIN. 
 
 and was born the very year of his grandmother’s death. In 1884 
 he wrote to me as follows: 
 
 (b) Seeing from your last letter to your sister, that you are deter¬ 
 mined to construct a genealogical tree, and not knowing its scope, I 
 have concluded to give what is, no doubt, the most reliable compend of 
 the traditions of the family. It is the most reliable, because my grand¬ 
 father (lf>) led a struggling, active life, until the close of the Revolution, 
 and then came to Kentucky, to spend the closing twenty years of his 
 life among his younger children. My grandmother survived him seven 
 years, dying about the time of my birth. They were then in easy cir¬ 
 cumstances, and enjoyed abundant leisure. Their minds were relieved 
 of the harrassing cares of life, and their thoughts and conversation would 
 turn to the past. With those younger children, and especially Uncle 
 Louis and Aunts McClung and Daveiss ( 70, 72, 78), I was an especial 
 favorite, and enjoyed more of their society than any one now living. 
 
 (c) Of the origin of the family, the common tradition, both in 
 Kentucky and Virginia, declares that we were descended from William 
 Mareschal, who came over with the Conqueror, and fought at Hastings. 
 Domes-Day-Book shows that his share of the conquered lands was on 
 the Welch border, now Pembrokeshire. Consequently, when, a few 
 years ago, my nephew, Thomas M. Green (648), w'rote a sketch of the 
 family, giving our more immediate descent from an Irish Captain, John 
 Marshall, who settled in Virginia in the seventeenth century, Cousin 
 Edward C. Marshall (160) wrote to him suggesting a mistake. He had 
 always heard that the family were Welch. But Mr. Green was un¬ 
 doubtedly right, though it must be admitted the family had passed into 
 Ireland from the border of Wales. Uncle Humphrey (88), who cared 
 little for our high descent from a comrade of William of Normandy, 
 pronounced the claim, as he did others much more holy and divine, to 
 be a myth supported by vanity, yet told me that our ancestor was an 
 Irish Captain, “and a poor one at that.” Uncle Louis and Aunts Mc¬ 
 Clung and Daveiss said the same; and they were proud that he had 
 fought for the Stuarts, and had fled from Ireland with his family rather 
 than submit to the stern rule of Cromwell. 
 
 ( d ) Having leisure some years ago, I determined to investigate 
 the matter. Among other books, I consulted Moore’s History of Ire¬ 
 land, and learned that in the reign of Henry II, Dermot, one of the 
 Chieftain Kings of Leinster, having, by his vices, disgusted his people, 
 was driven from his throne. Flying to England, he appealed to Henry 
 to re-instate him. But Henry was then at war with France, and de¬ 
 clined to interfere; but he allowed such of his barons, as chose, to give 
 the desired help. Consequently, the celebrated Strongbow accompanied 
 Dermot, with some English adventurers, and the King was re-instated. 
 For this service, Strongbow was rewarded by the King with the hand 
 of the only daughter, and the heiress of the grateful sovereign. William 
 Marshall, the great Earl of Pembroke, married the daughter and only 
 child of Strongbow, and succeeded to the Irish estates. This William 
 Marshall, known in history as the elder William, to distinguish him from 
 his son of the same name, was a leader of the barons who exacted Magna 
 Charta from King John. But later, the younger William, disgusted with 
 John’s falsehood and duplicity, with other barons, rebelled; and calling 
 Louis, the French Dauphin, to England, reduced the King to extremi¬ 
 ties. But the elder William, the great Earl of Pembroke, was loyal to 
 his King, and John, at his death, made him, by will, the guardian of his 
 son and the Protector of England. He seems to have commanded the 
 confidence of all classes, and won back the discontented barons to their

 allegiance. John’s youngest daughter was given in marriage to the 
 younger William and the French were driven from the kingdom. 
 About this time the Protector sent his nephew, John Marshall, as his 
 representative, to take charge of his estates in Ireland, endowed him 
 with lands, and made him Marshal of Ireland. Through him the bene¬ 
 fits of Magna Charta were extended to the English residents of Ireland. 
 On the death of the great Earl of Pembroke, and the majority of Henry 
 III, the sons of Pembroke seem to have lost favor at court. The younger 
 William died leaving no heirs, and his widow married DeMonford, Earl 
 of Leinster, who seems to have become a leader of the liberal party in 
 England and an asserter of Magna Charta. The other sons of the Earl 
 of Pembroke, having died without issue, Richard, the youngest, suc¬ 
 ceeded to the title and estates. Being prevailed on by his enemies to 
 visit Ireland at the head of a few knights, he and his attendants were 
 treacherously assassinated. The name was thereupon attainted, and 
 the estates confiscated. The descendants of John Marshall, nephew of 
 Earl Pembroke, still reside in the North of Ireland, and retain the fam¬ 
 ily names of John, Thomas, Humphrey, etc. Since that day none of the 
 family has attained distinction except, first, Captain John Marshall, who 
 distinguished himself at the siege of Calais, and applied unsuccessfully 
 for a restoration of his confiscated estates; and second, our more imme¬ 
 diate ancestor, a Captain of the Army of Charles I. But my grandfather, 
 Col. Thomas Marshall, I regard as the greatest man of the name, since 
 the great Earl of Pembroke — the elder William Marshall. I will only 
 add that my great grandmother, Elizabeth Markham [Marshall] (12 ), 
 survived her husband, John of “the Forest,” for many years, and died 
 in Fauquier Co., Va. Her youngest son was undoubtedly known as 
 Markham, not Abraham. 
 
 (e) I will conclude my notice of the origin of the Marshall 
 family by an extract from Col. Thos. M. Green’s (648) sketch pub¬ 
 lished some years since, in the Cincinnati Commercial: 
 
 At the siege of Calais in Bloody Mary’s time, there fought and was 
 wounded desperately, as the army rolls of the British army show, an 
 Irish Captain, John Marshall by name. After the capture of that port, 
 which cost the murderous Queen her life, Capt. Marshall was retired on 
 half-pay, and spent the remainder of his days on a small landed estate 
 near Dublin. He married late in life, many years after receiving his 
 wound. He claimed descent from one of the nephews of William 
 le Mareschal, the great Earl of Pembroke, who settled in Ireland at the 
 time of Henry III, and that his family had been reduced to the condi¬ 
 tion of the smaller gentry by their incessant strife with the DeBurglis, 
 to all of which each individual reader may attach whatever belief or 
 importance he chooses. Certain it is, however, that his grand son, also 
 named John Marshall, commanded a troop in King Charles’ army, at 
 the battle of Edgehill, and after the overthrow of the power of the Stu¬ 
 arts, preferred seeking his fortune in the New World, rather than remain 
 in Ireland under Cromwellian rule. He settled and died in Virginia, 
 near Dumfries, where his tomb-stone still stood a few years before the 
 war. Of what other offspring he may have had there is no trace ; but 
 of his son Thomas Marshall, there remains circumstantial information. 
 He was a Virginia farmer of small fortune, and in no way distinguished 
 from or above his neighbors. The oldest son of this Thomas Marshall 
 was William, one of whose sons was Col. William Marshall, of Mecken- 
 burg, and from him the Andersons of Kentucky and Ohio, the first wife 
 of Hon. James Pryor, of Covington, Capt. Allen, now a Representative

 in tlie Legislature, and the Marshalls of Henderson, Kentucky, are de¬ 
 scended. Another son of this Thomas Marshall was John, who was a 
 Captain of Virginia troops in Indian wars, and of whose descendants 
 this sketch will chiefly treat. 
 
 We will now trace the Marshall lineage as follows: ■ 
 
 1. Capt. John Marshall, emigrant, 1650. 
 
 2. His son, Thomas, who died 1704. 
 
 3. His sou, John of the Forest, who died 1752, and with these 
 we enter the precincts of our Chart. 
 
 The Marshalls of Ireland were stanch Presbyterians. Several 
 of them have come to America, bringing with them their family 
 names and their Puritan religion. It will be interesting to notice 
 some of these offshoots of the Emerald tree, and I hope at some time 
 to be in close correspondence with them. The following traces one 
 of these branches: 
 
 LINEAGE OF REV. SAMUEL V. MARSHALL. 
 
 ( g ) Under date of December 22, 1883, Dr. J. G. Monfort, 
 senior editor of the Presbyter and Herald, of Cincinnati}, writes me: 
 
 Rev. Samuel Marshall and Rev. James Marshall were sons of Rev. 
 Robert Marshall, long pastor at Bethel, eight miles from Lexington, Ken¬ 
 tucky. Robert was born in Ireland, and in early life immigrated to West¬ 
 ern Pennsylvania, was licensed by Redstone Presbytery, April 23, 1790, 
 and moved to Kentucky about 1790, and died 1832. His first wife was a 
 Miss Vance, mother of James and Samuel V., and his second wife was 
 Elizabeth Glass, a sister of my mother. My father, Francis Monfort, 
 studied with Robert Marshall, and became his brother-in-law. Mr. Mar¬ 
 shall was unmarried when he went to Kentucky. His first wife was a 
 Virginian, but I don’t think Samuel V. was born in Virginia. Robert was 
 intimate with Dr. Louis Marshall, Alex. K. Humphrey and Mrs. Mc- 
 Clung, and they knew they were of the same Scotch-Irish family. 
 
 (c) In 1884, 1 addressed letters to fourteen Marshalls, minis¬ 
 ters of the Northern branch of the Presbyterian Church, and re¬ 
 ceived courteous replies from all of them. About half the number 
 claimed relationship with our family, but none could trace their lin¬ 
 eage to the point of connection. My chart does not embrace one- 
 fourth of the descendants of John of Ireland; and his posterity 
 does not include one-fourth of the name of Marshall in the United 
 States. 
 
 ( li ) Rev. A. B. Marshall, of New Lisbon, Ohio, Rev. Alex. S. 
 Marshall, of Marion, Iowa, and Rev. J. H. Marshall, of Hooker, 
 Pennsylvania, Presbyterian ministers, all hail from Western Penn¬ 
 sylvania; and one of that family, Mr. Oscar S. Marshall, of Kittan-

 ing, Pennsylvania, in 1884 published a volume of 245 pages, entitled 
 “The Marshall Family — A History of the Descendants of William 
 Marshall, Born 1722, Died 1796.” William Marshall was born in 
 the North of Ireland, of Scotch-Irish parents; removed to Scotland 
 when a youth, and thereabout 1748, married Elizabeth Armstrong, 
 a native of that country; and shortly thereafter emigrated to 
 Adams county, Pennsylvania. His children were, 1, John, 2, James, 
 3, Margaret = McGaughey, 4, William, 5, Archibald, and 6, Samuel 
 Marshall. All found homes in Western Pennsylvania, and their pos. 
 terity are scattered over the West. They are evidently of the same 
 origin as our family, and claim to be of the same blood. This is 
 manifested by the similarity of names, and a strong personal like¬ 
 ness between them, that has been observed. The two families have 
 never intermarried, and have intermingled but little with each other. 
 The Marshalls of Boston and New York are from England and pos¬ 
 sess none of the characteristics of the more Southern families. 
 
 10 John Marshall, a Captain of Cavalry, in the reign of 
 Charles I, of England. He was a zealous supporter of the 
 crown and of the Episcopal church. He was born and reared in 
 Ireland. Having raised a cavalry company, he was one of the 
 first to offer his services to Charles; and from the battle of Edgehill 
 until the imprisonment of his sovereign, he was actively engaged in 
 his support. Unwilling to live under the rule of Cromwell, he 
 removed, with his, family, about 1650, to Virginia. Here he was 
 employed in the Indian Wars of the colony; and Campbell, in his 
 history of Virginia, gives him credit for the successful termination 
 of hostilities. He may have had other children, but Thomas (11) 
 is the only one whose name has been handed down to us. Capt. 
 John is not mentioned in any of the official records of Westmore¬ 
 land County, that have been preserved; and Col. Green (648), 
 thinks that he died near Dumfries, and that his tomb-stone, as late 
 as a generation ago, marked his grave. My letters sent to officials 
 at Dumfries were not answered. To show that he had other child- 
 dren, I submit the

 Tlios. Marshall (16). He had a brother, Humphrey, of Lewis

 2. William Marshall, b. in Mason Co., Ky., removed to Augusta, 
 Ky., and thence to Brown Co., Ohio. 
 
 3. H. L. Marshall, now of Moulton, Iowa, but born in Brown Co.,

 Now William, No. 1 above, always claimed that his father, 
 (name not ascertained ) was a second cousin of Col. Thomas Mar¬ 
 shall (16). Capt. John, of Ireland, was therefore his great-grand¬ 
 father, and therefore had other children besides his son Thomas. I 
 think also a daughter must have married a Fontleroy, as tradition 
 names her as a great aunt of Col. Thomas Marshall. Mrs. Royall, 
 (290) in letters to me, dated 1884, refers to her as her mother’s 
 great aunt, and as one who held herself above her relatives of our 
 
 branch. 
 
 (a) Thomas Marshall, son of Captain John Marshall 
 
 (10), emigrant, was born in eastern Virginia about 1655, d. 
 May —, 1704, in Washington parish, Westmoreland Co:, Va. 
 He was a small farmer and a zealous Episcopalian. His will is of 
 record in Westmoreland County, and I subjoin a copy: 
 
 In the name of God, Amen! I, Thomas Marshall, of the County 
 of Westmoreland, of Washington parish, carpenter, being very weak, 
 but of perfect memory, thanks be to God for it, doth ordain this'my last 
 will and testament, in the manner and form following: 
 
 ( b ) First: I give and bequeath my soul into the hands of my 
 Blessed Creator and Redeemer, hoping, through merits of my Blessed 
 Savior, to receive full pardon and remission of all my sins; and my 
 body to the earth, to be decently buried according to the direction of 
 my executor, which hereafter shall be named. 
 
 (c) Item: I will and ordain that my well beloved wife, Martha 
 Marshall, shall be my full and whole executrix. 
 
 ( d) Item: I will that my estate shall remain in the hands of my 
 wife as long as she remains single; but in case she marries, then, she is 
 to have her lawful share, and the rest to be taken out of her hands, 
 equally to he divided among my children. 
 
 (e ) Item: I will that if my wife marry, that David Brown, Sr., and 
 John Brown be guardians over my children, and to take the estate into 
 their hands, bringing it to appraisement, giving good security to what 
 it is valued, and to pay niv children their dues as they become of age. 
 
 (/) Item: I will that Elizabeth Rosser is to have a heifer, deliv¬ 
 ered by mv wife, called “ Whitebelly,” to be delivered as soon as I am 
 deceased. 
 
 '(g) Item: I will that my son William Marshall have my planta-

 my son William die before he comes of age, or die without issue, then 
 my plantation is to fall to the next heir apparent at law. ( No date.) 
 
 THOMAS MARSHALL. [seal.] 
 Witnesses: Edw’d Taylor, John Oxford 
 
 Probated May 31, 1704. and John Taylor. 
 
 ( h ) The maiden name of Mrs. Martha Marshall is unknown, 
 and William and John are the only children we can trace. John 
 married Elizabeth Markham, and, with them, I begin my chart. 
 William was the father of the celebrated Col. William Marshall of 
 Mecklenburg, who served in the Revolutionary war, and was one of 
 the patriots who, in 1775, promulgated the Declaration of Iude- 
 j)endence, which served as a model for the Continental Manifesto. 
 The posterity of Col. William Marshall has already been referred to 
 (10) and it may be useful to trace one branch of his posterity.

 the only branch of Col. William Marshall’s family that I can trace. 
 There are hundreds of others, from this source, scattered over the 
 South; but they cannot trace their connection. I will here give 
 the lineages of several who claim a common ancestry with us.

 ( q ) Mr. Marshall is a highly intellectual gentleman, and was 
 much surprised when he ascertained that his relationship with our 
 branch could not be traced. He was reared at the old family seat 
 in Fairfax Co., Va., some ten or twelve miles from Dumfries, and I 
 think the tombstone of John Marshall near Dumfries, is the monu¬ 
 ment of the first of the above Johns. The records of Westmoreland 
 County show there was a James Marshall, who died about 1730, and 
 his posterity may have settled in Fairfax. This James was probably 
 a son of Thomas, and brother of William and John. 
 
 Mr. M. L. Hutt, the gentlemanly clerk of Westmoreland Co., 
 Va., under date of June 11, 1885, among other statements, says: 
 
 The parish records of this county were destroyed in the Revolution 
 — other records date back to 1652. Thomas Marshall is the oldest of 
 that name on record. He purchased of Francis Wright 200 acres of 
 land. No administration was granted on Thos. Marshall’s estate. His 
 200 acres of land fell to his son William. He is the only child men¬ 
 tioned in the will, but he may have had others. William afterward 
 moved to King and Queen County, Va., and he sold the land to John 
 Marshall, perhaps one of his brothers, by deed dated Oct. 23, 1727. I 
 find inventory and appraisement of John Marshall’s estate returned and. 
 recorded April 22, 1751. Said John Marshall died before August, 1751 
 (yet the will is dated 1752, No. 12), from the fact that James Berryman, 
 the administrator, signed the inventory of his property about that time ; 
 but said inventory and appraisement were not returned and recorded

 until the 22d of April, 1751, as above stated. (Could this have been an¬ 
 other John Marshall, son of John, of Ireland, for Thos. Marshall and 
 Elizabeth Marshall were executors of John Marshall of the Forest, No. 
 12?) I find inventory and apprisement of James Marshall’s estate re¬ 
 turned and recorded May 3, 1751. (This may have been another son of 
 Thomas, who died 1704). I find John Marshall’s inventory and appraise¬ 
 ment returned and recorded July 13,1752. (Above, it is April 22,1751). 
 John Marshall’s will is dated April 1, 1752. (These discrepancies can 
 be reconciled only by supposing two John Marshalls). John Marshall’s 
 widow’s name was Elizabeth, and she made a deed of gift for 100 acres 
 to Thomas Marshall, dated May 25, 1752. I can find nothing of Capt. 
 John Marshall, emigrant. The records don’t date far enough back. 
 The will of Peter McClanahan is dated January, 1775. His children 
 are 1, Peter, 2, Thomas, 3, James, 4, Mary, 5, John — wife not mentioned. 
 John Smith’s will is dated January 7, 1771. Children, 1, Edward, 2, 
 Matthew — wife not named. There is no index to the old marriage 
 bonds, and it would be much trouble to look over them. 
 
 12 Capt. John Marshall of the “Forest,” was born in West¬ 
 moreland Co., Va., about the year 1700; d. April, 1752, = 
 about 1722, Elizabeth Markham, b. perhaps in Alexandria, Va., 
 about 1704, d. in Fauquier Co , 1775. Mr. Marshall was a farmer, 
 possessed of a plantation of 1,200 acres on Appomattox (called 
 Mattox) Creek, in Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co., Va. He 
 was a malitia captain, and a man of good reputation and influence 
 in his neighborhood. The records of conveyances in Westmoreland 
 County show that in 1728, William Marshall,of King and Queen Co., 
 Va., conveyed to John Marshall, of Westmoreland Co., 1,200 acres 
 on Appomattox Creek, Washington Parish. This may have been 
 the estate known as “The Forest,” and may have been devised to 
 William, the oldest son, by his father Thomas ( 11), as shown by his 
 will. If so, we ascertain that William, the father of Col. William, 
 of Mecklenburg Cofinty, was a resident of King and Queen County 
 in 1728. Other records may be here referred to: 1, Louis Mark¬ 
 ham died in Washington Parish in 1713, and his estate was divided 
 among eight children; 2, In 1732 William Markham, of Hamilton 
 Parish, Prince William Co., conveys 126 acres on Mattox Creek, to 
 John Price; 3, In 1744, John Smith, jr., and Patience, his wife, sell 
 to John Smith, sr., of Westmoreland County, 160 acres adjoining 
 John Marshall; 4, In 1752, Elizabeth Marshall conveys, by deed of 
 gift, to Thomas Marshall (16), 100 acres of the homestead ( The

 preserved is:

 ( g ) I am indebted to Col. Marshall J. Smith (492), of New 
 Orleans, for a copy of the foregoing will, and for many other favors. 
 The will has proved of great value in determining the names and 
 ages of the children, and in establishing dates. Among the papers 
 left by Mary Isham Colston [Thomas] (164), a genealogical chart 
 was found, of which I have a copy. The children of John Marshall 
 of the “Forest ” are named in the order of the will; but Abraham 
 is called Markham ; Ann is called Nancy; Lizzie is called Elizabeth, 
 and Peggy is called Margaret. The latter is said to have married 
 - Smellan. 
 
 (h) The wife of John Marshall of the Forest was Elizabeth, daugh¬ 
 ter of John Markham. Tradition has gone wild over the career of 
 John Markham. One legend makes him a British peer, another 
 calls him a pirate, a third insists upon his being the buccaneer Black- 
 beard, but all authority agree in pronouncing him a handsome, dash¬ 
 ing and fascinating gentleman, and a daring, cruel and adroit vil¬ 
 lain. Here again Col. Thomas M. Green (648) shows his skill and 
 power in interpreting traditions, and in deciphering legends. He 
 writes : 
 
 There lived near the family, a John Markham, an Englishman with 
 a peculiar history. He was by birth a gentleman, as the term is used in 
 England, and of mixed Anglo-Saxon lineage,— had been an officer in 
 the British Navy, had killed his captain in a duel in the West Indies, 
 and had taken refuge in Virginia, where he had engaged in mercantile 
 pursuits, and had married the widow of a merchant, much older than 
 himself, by whom he had no children, but of whose whole property he 
 managed to obtain possession. His wife died, and he returned to Eng¬ 
 land, sold a small inherited estate which had come down to him from 
 Anglo-Saxon ancestors, who had owned it before the conquest, for 
 which one of his descendants used to say he ought to have been hung, 
 and eloped with and married a young English girl, with whom he re¬ 
 turned to Virginia, and by whom he had seventeen daughters and one 
 son. A shrewd, money-getting, out-breaking, lawless,self-witted, large- 
 brained, devil-defying man was this John Markham, if all accounts of 
 him be true, respecting neither God nor man, and fearing neither; and 
 every now and then there breaks out in his race the genuine Markham 
 streak. His son, named John, gobbled up all the paternal estate, and was 
 the father of Commodore James Markham,a distinguished officer of the

 Virginia Navy during the Revolution. One of the first John Markham’s 
 seventeen daughters was the grandmother of the late T. Daviess Car- 
 neal, well known in Cincinnati and throughout central Kentucky. An¬ 
 other was the ancestress of Major McRae, formerly Commandant of the 
 Barracks at Newport; of George McRae, of Mississippi, and of the fam¬ 
 ily of that name, of South Carolina. One of the youngest, Elizabeth, 
 married Captain John Marshall. 
 
 Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall was living October 15, 1773, for her 
 deed of gift of a negro woman, so dated, is of record in Warrenton, 
 Fauquier Co., Va. She styles herself Elizabeth Marshall of Leeds 
 Manor. 
 
 In her latter days, Mrs. Eliza Colston (52), often dwelt on the 
 traditions of the family, and one who, in his early life, sat at her 
 feet, relates: 
 
 THE LEGEND OF MARKHAM, OR BLACKBEARD. 
 
 ( j ) Blackboard’s correct name was Finch. The scene of his pirat¬ 
 ical career was the American coast and the West Indies, and the time 
 was the early quarter of the eighteenth century. 
 
 Prior to the death of Blackbeard, there lived in Alexandria, Va., a 
 merchant, who had acquired a large fortune by trade. He was a mar¬ 
 ried man, and he and his wife were elderly people. In their employ 
 was a young man named John Markham. The old merchant died, and 
 his widow inherited all his property. Markham persuaded her to marry 
 him, and he thus acquired a large fortune Sometime after the mar¬ 
 riage, his business called him to England. The handsome, but unprin¬ 
 cipled young man, here met a beautiful young lady, attending a board¬ 
 ing school, and prevailed on her to elope with him, and a mock marriage 
 was imposed on her. On their arrival, the imposition was exposed, and 
 great sympathy was expressed for the lovely girl. Regarding her as 
 free, a gentleman proposed honorable marriage to her. Markham was 
 incensed, and challenged and killed him. His real wife was greatly 
 mortified, and soon died. Markham claimed and appropriated her 
 whole estate, which he had not already squandered. He was now 
 legally married to the young English girl, and a large family of children 
 was born to them. But Markham died, and the widow found herself 
 immensely wealthy. Her beauty was only matured, and her gayety 
 made her a leader in society. 
 
 (k) At this time there appeared in Alexandria a handsome young 
 Englishman, wearing a rich naval uniform. He seemed to have an 
 abundance of money, and had the address to recommend himself to the 
 good graces of the blooming widow. Infatuated with him, the widow 
 married him, and placed all her fortune under his control. When their 
 honeymoon was ended, and the adventurer had possessed himself of all 
 her property, he threw off restraint, and introduced into her house a 
 set of rough and desperate companions, and made it the scene of bois¬ 
 terous revels. When his wife remonstrated, he struck her, and treated 
 her with brutal contempt. Her children were purposely sent away, or, 
 frightened by the disorderly conduct beneath their mother’s roof, fled 
 to Westmoreland County and found protection, from her uncles, Wil¬ 
 liam and Lewis. Elizabeth found a home with the widow of Thomas 
 Marshall. She had been finely educated, and possessed not only beauty,

 but the highest accomplishments of the day. Her mother now discov¬ 
 ered that she had married Blackbeard, the notorious buccaneer. When 
 his identity was exposed, he gathered all and hastily departed to his ship. 
 But female constancy clings to the most brutal and abandoned of hus¬ 
 bands. She was often present at his orgies, and on one occasion, when 
 two villains intended to assassinate Blackbeard, and were seated at ta¬ 
 ble, one on his right and the other on his left, she held two pistols be¬ 
 neath the table, and drawing a trigger with each hand at the same mo¬ 
 ment, the miscreants fell dead at the feet of her unworthy lord. But 
 the ungrateful husband is said to have treated her with such cruelty 
 that she died from the effects of a kick given her in one of his revels. 
 But Blackbeard did not long survive his wife. Lieut. Maynard outwitted 
 him on the North Carolina coast, and his riddled body, hung in chains, 
 was suspended at Williamsburg as a warning to outlaws. 
 
 ( l ) I find no mention of John Markham in the records of 
 Westmoreland, but names of William and Lewis frequently appear. 
 This confirms the tradition that John Markham lived in Alexandria, 
 while his brothers resided in Westmoreland County. I have a copy 
 of the will of Lewis Markham, from the records of Westmoreland. 
 He describes himself as of the Parish of Washington, and his plan¬ 
 tation on Mattox Creek is given to his widow, Eliza Markham. He 
 refers to his eight minor children, but names none of them. He 
 appoints his widow and Joseph Bayly his executors. It is dated 
 March 15, 1713, and probated June 24, 1713. His personal estate 
 was appraised at £709. 
 
 13 Sarah Marshall, b. in Washington parish, Westmoreland 
 Co., Va., about the year 1723;=about 1743, Robert 
 Lovell. It is not known what became of this family. The names 
 appear in the will of John Marshall, of the “Forest,” (12) and 
 Mrs. Mary I. Colston (Thomas), No. 164, makes Sarah Lovell the 
 oldest child of John and Elizabeth Marshall. 
 
 The will of Robert Lovell, Sr., doubtless the father of the hus¬ 
 band of Sarah Marshall, is of record in Westmoreland County. It 
 is dated Jan. 15, 1725; pi’obated Feb. 23, 1725; enumerates his 
 children: 1, Elizabeth Lovell = Nicholson, 2, Mary = Harrison, 
 3, Robert, 4, Daniel, 5 James and 6 Ursula. 
 
 14 Ann (or Nancy ) Marshall, b. in Washington parish, West¬ 
 moreland Co., Va., about 1725 = about 1745, Augustine, 
 Smith of the same locality, d. in Fauquier Co., about 1781. 
 Augustine Smith’s name appears as one of the witnesses to the will

 of John Marshall, of the Forest (12), and the will itself virtually, 
 names him as the husband of Ann Marshall. After the death of 
 John of the “Forest,” in 1752, the Smithes, with Thomas Marshall 
 (11), appear to have removed to the vicinity of Germantown, Fau¬ 
 quier Co., Ya. Their property in Westmoreland was disposed of, 
 and land was purchased in Fauquier Co. Mrs. Elizabeth Marshall 
 went with them, and perhaps lived to the beginning of the war. 
 Augustine and John Smith (14 and 15) are supposed to have been 
 brothers, the sons of John Smith, Sr., a native of Bristol, England. 
 He came to Virginia about 1700 and settled on Mattox Creek, 
 Westmoreland County, near to Thomas Marshall. He married 
 Mary Ann Adkins, a relative of the Washington family, of West¬ 
 moreland, and from the Washingtons the name, Augustine, was 
 derived. The records of Westmoreland show: 1. In 1723 a Mr. 
 Thompson sells to John Smith land in Washington parish near 
 John Marshall’s; 2, In 1735, John Smith sells Triplett a tract on 
 Mattox Creek; 3, In 1743, Thomas Smith of Orange Co., Ya., 
 sells to John Smith 200 acres on Mattox Creek; 4, In 1744, John 
 Smith, Jr., and Patience his wife, of Prince William County, sell to 
 John Smith, Sr., of Westmoreland County, 160 acres adjoining 
 John Marshall; 5, In 1752 Hornbuckle sells to John Smith 200 
 acres in Washington parish. By the kindness of Col. Marshall J. 
 Smith (492), 1 am able to present the following: 
 
 WILL OF THE FIRST JOHN SMITH. 
 
 (a) John Smith’s will and testament is as follows: I give 
 unto my son Thomas, my land which I now live upon, to him and 
 his heirs and assigns forever. And I give my land which I bought 
 of William Thompson to my son John, to him and his assigns; and 
 in case my son John should die before he comes of lawful age, the 
 land to fall to my son Augustine. Also I give unto my sou Thomas 
 a gun and a cow which he calls his. And all the rest of my estate, 
 I give unto my wife Mary, during her widowhood, and then to be 
 equally divided amongst my children. Also I leave my wife Mary 
 and my son Thomas my whole and sole executors. Hereunto I set 
 my hand and fix my seal.

 reference is made. John is said to have died in 1783. The follow¬ 
 
 ing passage of a letter from M. L. Hutt, Dept. Clerk of Westmore¬ 
 land County, to Col. Marshall J. Smith, dated Aug. 22, 1883, will 
 throw some light on the Smith records: 
 
 “ I enclose you memorandums of all I can find on the deed-books in 
 this office. They date from 1652. I do not see the names of Mary Ann 
 Adkins, nor of Broadwater, mentioned in the books at all. The’ name 
 of Fontlerov, just appears in deed-book of 1772. I think they were 
 Richmond County people. The Turners are mentioned only once, in 
 the will-books, though often in the deed-books. In Thomas Turner’s 
 will be leaves his farm, “Smith’s Mount” to his son Harry Smith Tur¬ 
 ner, and afterwards H. S. Turner deeds a portion of it to Fontlerov. 
 The Turner family still own the farm. The John Smith mentioned in 
 memorandum 1723, was the father of Thomas, John and Augustine. 
 We have no marriage records nor bonds to show to whom he was mar¬ 
 ried. Probably the marriages at that time were recorded in the church 
 registers, none of which are now in existence in this county.” 
 
 Lizzie Marshall and John Smith are said to have raised three 
 daughters and one son Mrs. Judith Keith, of Warrensburg, is 
 one of their great-grand daughters. 
 
 16 (a) Col. Thomas Marshall was b. in Washington parish, 
 
 Westmoreland Co., Va., April 2, 1730j _•—d. in Washington, 
 Mason Co., Ivy., June 22, 1 80^; = 1754 in Fauquier Co., Va., 
 Mary Randolph Keith, b. in Fauquier Co., Va., April 28, 1737; 
 — d. Mason Co., Ky., Sept. 19, 1809. 
 
 Col. Marshall is regarded by his posterity with veneration. In 
 sound judgment and depth of native mind he is said to have sur¬ 
 passed all his illustrous children. They, themselves, admitted his 
 superiority of intellect. His posterity are thought to have in¬ 
 herited their mental powers rather from the Markhams and the 
 Marshalls, than from the Keiths. 
 
 Col. Marshall is said to have attended, with George Washing¬ 
 ton, the school of Rev. Archibald Campbell, rector of Washington 
 parish. Here commenced the intimate friendship that continued 
 through life, between Col. Marshall, and the great apostle of liberty. 
 Well instructed and experienced in the surveyors art, he often 
 attended Washington in his surveying excursions for Lord Fairfax

 and others. For these services he received several thousand acres 
 of wild land in Henry Co., W. Va., which were sold and divided 
 among his heirs, as provided in his will. During the French war, 
 he was a Lieutenant of Volunteers. He was not at Braddock’s 
 defeat, because he was left behind, employed in building Fort Neces¬ 
 sity. His father died in April 1752, and Mr. Marshall, being the 
 oldest son and the heir, qualified as his executor.- His brother John, 
 though also appointed an executor, was too young to serve. Shortly 
 after the death of John Marshall of the “ Forest,” the Marshalls, 
 with their relatives, the Smiths, removed to the vicinity of Ger¬ 
 mantown, Fauquier Co., Va. Here Thomas accepted the agency, 
 of Lord Fairfax, to superintend his immense landed estate, — to 
 make leases, collect rents, &c. In 1754, he married Mary Isham 
 Keith, daughter of Rev. James Keith and Mary Randolph. Near 
 Germantown his older children were born. In 1765, eleven years 
 after his marriage, he purchased of Thos. L. and R. H. Lee, 350 
 acres of land on Goose Creek, and removed upon it. His old log 
 house still stands a mile north-east of Markham. In 1773, he sold 
 his farm; and it was, perhaps, at this time that he purchased “ Oak- 
 hill,” or, as he calls it in his will, “ The Oaks.” Here he built a 
 fine house of wood, which still remains (150). All his younger 
 children were born here. His mother had attended him in all his 
 removals. A little later she disappears, and it is probable she 
 was laid in the graveyard near Germantown, known as “ Locust 
 Leavel,” where the Marshalls, Keiths and Smiths buried their dead. 
 In 1767, while residing on Goose Creek, he was High Sheriff of 
 Fauquier County. His bond as such still appears of record. 
 
 (6) When the war broke out, Col. Marshall was already pre¬ 
 pared for it. He was one of that band of early patriots which had 
 resolved to resist the encroachments of the British Crown, at the 
 hazard of all that is dear to man. Their heroic spirit manifested 
 itself in raising a patriotic company known as the Culpepper 
 Minute Men. This was the earliest organization in the cause of 
 freedom. When formed into a regiment under command of Col. 
 Woodford, Capt. Marshall became Major. Major Marshall’s esteem 
 for his superior officer was afterwards shown, and his influence 
 manifested, by the County of his residence, in Kentucky, being 
 called Woodford. Major Marshall distinguished himself at the

 battle of the Great Bridge — the first engagement on Virginia’s 
 soil. He was frequently elected to the Virginia House of Bur¬ 
 gesses, and was a member of the convention that declared the 
 colony independent. He was at Valley Forge, with his sons. John 
 and Thomas. At the battle of Germantown, when Gen. Mercer 
 was killed, he succeeded to the command. A horse was killed 
 under him at Brandywine. Referring to this occasion, Campbell 
 in his history of Virginia writes: 
 
 (c) “The Third Virginia Regiment, under command of Col. 
 Thomas Marshall, which had performed severe duty in 1776, was 
 placed in a wood on the right, and in front of Woodford’s Brigade 
 and Stephen’s Division. Though attacked by superior numbers, the 
 regiment maintained its position until both its flanks were turned, 
 its ammunition nearly expended, and more than half its officers, 
 and one third of the soldiers were killed or wounded. Col. Mar¬ 
 shall, whose horse had received two balls, then retired to assume his 
 position on the right of his division, but it had already retreated. 
 Among the wounded in the battle, were Lafayette and Woodford. 
 The enemy passed the night on the field of battle. On the 26th of 
 September 1777, the British entered Philadelphia.” 
 
 It has been said that at Brandywine, Col. Marshall saved the 
 patriot army from destruction. For such distinguished services, 
 the House of Burgesses through their speaker, Edmund Randolph, 
 presented him a sword. This heirloom descended to his son Capt. 
 Thomas Marshall (56), who by his will bestowed it on his son, Gen. 
 Thomas Marshall, (176). The latter left no male issue, and, on his 
 death, his daughter, Mrs. Bland (632), presented it to the Mays- 
 ville, Kentucky Historical Society, which preserves it with care. 
 
 d. In 1779 Col. Marshall, with his Third Regiment, was sent to 
 reinforce Gen. Lincoln, in South Carolina. He joined Lincoln just 
 in time to be shut up with him in Charleston, and to share in the 
 surrender of that city to the British. But having been parolled, 
 Col. Marshall, with other officers, visited Kentucky in 1780, trav¬ 
 eling on horseback through the wilderness. On that trip he 
 located his beautiful farm of “Buckpond,” near Versailles. 
 
 About the year 1780, Col. Marshall was appointed Surveyor- 
 General of the lands in Kentucky, appropriated to the officers and 
 soldiers of the Virginia State line. The whole territory consisted of 
 
22

 but one county, known as the County of Kentucky. Nov. 1, 1781 
 it was divided into three counties — Fayette, Lincoln and Jefferson, 
 and Col. Marshal was made Surveyor of the first. His name 
 appears among the purchases of lots in Lexington, in 178o. In 
 1785, Col. Marshall returned to Virginia for his family, which he 
 brought west on a flat-boat, down the Ohio river. McClung in his 
 “ Western Adventure,” details the incidents of this trip; which was 
 attended with no trouble, though the voyagers were warned by 
 James Girty, the renegade, of the danger of being decoyed ashore. 
 
 In 1787, Col. Marshall represented Fayette County in the Vir¬ 
 ginia Legislature, and in 1788 was elected to the Danville Conven¬ 
 tion, to form a State Constitution. He was a zealous Federalist, 
 took an active part in the politics of the day, and was decided in 
 his opposition to the scheme of separating Kentucky from the 
 Eastern States. 
 
 (e) In 1795, one of his favorite daughters, Lucy Ambler, 
 died at Jamestown, Va. He was deeply affected by this event, and 
 in a letter to his son, John Marshall, dated Buckpond, Ky., Nov. 
 6, 1795, he pours forth his sorrows. It shows that, at that time, he 
 held the office of Collector of United States revenue for the State. 
 He writes: 
 
 “The death of our dear Lucy is a heavy affliction—perhaps the 
 more so on account of its being the first of the kind which has been 
 felt by your mother and myself. I endeavor to forget it. I have not 
 mentioned her name twice since your letter announced the unfortunate 
 event. But alas, I frequently find myself sighing and moaning on 
 account of her death, without realizing what I am grieving for. But 
 why am I describing my affliction to you who must have felt the same 
 more than once in all its bitterness. God send we feel it no more! 
 Your sister Molly [ Mrs. Humphrey Marshall ], who had a long fit of 
 illness, I believe knows nothing of our loss as yet. We were afraid to 
 make it known to her. Make our kindest compliments of condolence 
 to Mr. Ambler. I feel for him sensibly, and make not the least doubt 
 but he has his share of the affliction; but no person’s can be equal to 
 that of an affectionate father and mother, for the loss of a daughter 
 who never till now was the cause of one painful sensation in the breast 
 of either. Tell Mr. Ambler that we have the firmest confidence in his 
 parental tenderness for the little son, the dear deceased has left with 
 him. Tell him above all to be careful of its health and education — to 
 be careful to sow the seed of virtue and honor early in its breast — to 
 make it virtuous rather than learned, if he can’t make it both. That 
 part of what fortune I possess, which I intended for her, I shall leave 
 to him; rather as acknowledgement of parental love and affection, than 
 as an addition to his estate.

 hope we may be informed why we have no Attorney in this State for 
 the United States. I have complained of this in every letter I have 
 written on the subject of revenue. I cannot possibly have the revenue 
 collected, as no one will comply with the laws without compulsion, and 
 the government has not put it in my power to compel compliance. 
 This I have tried, but without success. What I can do, I know not. I 
 should think that in the present situation of affairs there might be 
 political reasons assigned for the neglect. But if that be the case, why 
 am I repeatedly written to by the Commissioner of Revenue, as if it 
 was expected that I could go on with the business in the same manner 
 as if there were no impediment, &c. 
 
 (< 7 ) From 1780 to 1800, Col. Marshall’s home was “ Buck- 
 pond,” one of the most lovely farms in the State of Kentucky. In 
 1800 his youngest son, Louis, was married to Miss Agatha Smith, 
 and “ Buckpond ” was given to them. The old people went to live 
 with their son, Thomas, who resided at Washington, Mason Co., 
 Ky. Here June 22, 1802, Mr. Marshall died, and was buried on 
 “The Hill.” The inscription on his tomb is now illegible; but, 
 many years ago, I transcribed it, and here reproduce it 
 
 “Thomas Marshall, to whom this memorial is inscribed, was born 
 the 2d of April, 1730, intermarried with Mary Keith, in her 17th year, 
 by whom he had fifteen children, who attained maturity; and after 
 distinguishing himself by the performance of his duties as a husBand, 
 father, citizen and soldier, died on the 22d of June, 1802, aged 72 years 
 2 months and 20 days.” 
 
 (/i) Col. Marshall’s will was executed June 26,1798, in Wood¬ 
 ford Co., Ky., and is found of record in Mason Co., Book B, p. 212. 
 It was probated February 15, 1803. The following is an abstract of 
 its provisions. He gives:

 Licking, one of which contained 1,000 acres, and the quantity of the 
 other is not stated. 
 
 To his son, Thomas: Part of a tract of 14,717 acres, on Clark’s run, 
 in Mason Co., and 1,000 acres elsewhere. 
 
 To his son, James M.: 6,000 acrefe from a survey of 15,000 on the 
 North fork of Licking. 
 
 To his sons, Charles and William: 13,616 acres on the South side of 
 the North fork. 
 
 To his son, Alex. K.: 10,500 acres on Mill creek; 1,800 acres on the 
 Ohio, above the mouth of Salt creek, and 200 acres more at the mouth 
 of Salt creek, and some other lands and three negroes.

 Alex. K., and Humphrey Marshall, in trust that they shall sell the same, 
 and make my children ecpial; and their compensation is to be settled 
 by my son John. 
 
 August 8, 1803, the three executors qualified. 
 
 (k) The wife of Thomas Marshall was Mary Randolph Keith, 
 daughter of Parson James Keith, and Mary Isham Randolph. 
 
 The Keiths are descended from Robert Keith, Mareschal of the 
 Scottish army under Bruce. George Keith, born at Kincardine, 
 Scotland, in 1685 — died near Potsdam, Prussia, May 25, 1778, was 
 the tenth and last Earl that bore the name. His race had been long 
 Mareschals of Scotland, and were possessed of large estates. The 
 family were adherents of the Stuarts, and took an active part in the 
 Rebellion of 1715, in favor of the Pretender. Alexander, and James 
 afterward Field Marshal of Russia and Prussia, were younger broth¬ 
 ers of the Earl. James Keith, afterward known as Parson Keith, a 
 cousin of the Earl, was a son of a professor in the Mareschal College 
 of Aberdeen. The professor was Bishop of the Episcopal church, and 
 the uncle and guardian of the Earl and his brothers. His son James 
 (the Parson) had been educated with his cousins, and in 1715 was 
 a youth of nineteen. The Earl and his brothers took part in the 
 rebellion, and had to leave for the continent. Here, through their 
 cousin James, they still fomented discontent, and in 1719 entered 
 Scotland, and were repulsed. Their secret correspondence with 
 their friends had been conducted through their cousin, James, and 
 he when discovered took refuge iu the Colony of Virginia. The 
 Keith estates were confiscated, and their names attainted for treason;

 but afterward, through the solicitations of Frederick of Prussia, a 
 portion of the property^was restored. The titles descended in the 
 female line, and are now merged in the united houses of Keith- 
 Elphinstone. 
 
 (Z) James (Parson) Keith, had been educated for the Church. 
 Coming to Virginia, he settled in Fauquier County, and married 
 Mary Isham Randolph, daughter of Thomas Randolph, of Tuckahoe, 
 the second son of William Randolph, of Turkey Island. She was 
 therefore, closely related to John Randolph, of Roanoke, to Thomas 
 Jefferson, and to Richard Henry Lee. Stories are told of this lady 
 that need confirmation. She'is said to have first secretly married a 
 subaltern in the British army, and when her marriage and hiding 
 place were discovered, her husband and child were murdered by her 
 brothers. It is charged that her marriage to Parson Keith was con¬ 
 cealed from her brothers, and that she stole away to accompany her 
 husband, when he returned to Scotland for orders. Even the name 
 of Parson Keith is blackened by tradition with the charge of licen¬ 
 tiousness. But there is better reason to believe that he was a good 
 and holy man. He continued to preach throughout his life, and his 
 name is handed down with veneration. Bishop Meade, vol. 2, p. 216, 
 thus speaks of him: 
 
 Of Rev. Mr. Keith and his descendants I have not been able to 
 obtain all the information I desire, or hope for. From all that I can 
 learn, be was a worthy man. He was a native of Scotland. Being in¬ 
 volved in the Rebellion in favor of the Pretender, he was forced to fly 
 his country, and to come to Virginia. Returning to England for orders, 
 he was settled in Hamilton parish,and performed the duties of his office 
 there for a longtime—probably until 1757 or 1758. A daughter married 
 Col. Thomas Marshall, of “ Oakhill.” Fauquier County, the seat of the 
 Marshalls to this day (1857).' 
 
 ( n ) Mrs. Keith long survived her husband, and her wierd form 
 and the wild expression of her eyes, gave color to the ghostly stories 
 told of her. But in her old age she was doubtless deranged. 
 
 LEGEND OF THE RANDOLPHS. 
 
 The story is told that when Mary Isham Randolph was blooming 
 into womanhood, she was induced by the bailiff upon the estate of 
 Tuckahoe to elope with him. There was great excitement among the 
 family and neighbors, and threats were freely made by the brothers. 
 Some years ago, the Diary of Col. Byrd, who lived at about the period 
 referred to, was published in the Southern Literary Messenger, and he 
 records the excitement in the family of the Randolphs, on the occasion 
 of the elopement of one of the daughters. The search for the fugitives 
 for a time was fruitless. At length their retreat was discovered on Elk

 ( 16 ) COL. THOMAS MARSHALL. 
 
 Island, in James river. The angry brothers came upon them by night, 
 murdered the bailiff and the child, and brought their sister home. The 
 deed of blood and cruelty so affected the wife and mother that she be¬ 
 came deranged. But care was taken that no allusion should be made to 
 the harrowing scenes she had witnessed, and her reason was at length 
 restored. 
 
 (o) Years passed. Mary Randolph married Parson James Keith. 
 A family of children had grown up around them. The tragedy at Elk 
 Island had been forgotten. The bailiff was supposed to be dead. But, 
 one day Mrs. Keith received a letter, and, on opening it, found that it 
 purported to be from the bailiff. It stated that he still lived; that he 
 that was left as dead, had revived, had changed his name, and had fled 
 to foreign countries; after years of wandering had returned to look 
 upon his lawful wife; had found her married and happy; that he would 
 not afflict her by claiming her as his own, but advised her to be happy 
 and forget him, who had more than died for her love, for she should 
 hear no more of him. This letter was perhaps written by some evil- 
 disposed person, or may have been only a practical joke. However 
 that may be, it unhinged the mind of Mrs. Keith. She vainly sought 
 for him, and throughout the remnant of her days her insanity mani¬ 
 fested itself by a quiet melancholy, varied by some sudden freak of 
 folly. Mrs. Colston lived with her for many years,and she, and all who 
 met her in her widowhood, testify that she was a lunatic.

 ( p ) William Randolph is the first of the name who came to 
 Virginia. He possessed Turkey Island, a large estate on the James

 Marshall; and Mrs. Alice Carroll, of Leeds, has the third heirloom, 
 handed down from her grandfather, Judge John Marshall. I know 
 of no likeness of Col. Thos. Marshall. The three likenesses of Mrs. 
 Marshall are alike, and represent her dressed with a cap, in the style 
 of an old lady of her generation. Doubtless, the portraits were ta¬ 
 ken after the death of her husband, or his likeness would have ac¬ 
 companied them.

 Then list to my legend: 
 
 THE KEITH LEGEND. 
 
 (u) James Keith (the Parson) was educated at the Mareschal Col¬ 
 lege, at Aberdeen, Scotland. Though a divinity student, yet he was 
 tainted with infidelity, like most of the youth of his day. He had an 
 intimate associate and fellow student, named William Frazier, who also 
 doubted the truth of the Bible, and a state of future rewards and pun¬ 
 ishments. These youths often talked upon religious topics. In full 
 confidence in each other, they often expressed their doubts. Though 
 they had Moses and the Prophets, yet they thought that if one should 
 return to them from the dead, they would believe. They therefore made 
 to each other the solemn pledge, that he that died first would return to 
 the other and impart the truth or falsity of the Bible. This compact 
 was written and sealed in their own blood. 
 
 Years past, and the young men went to opposite extremities of the 
 earth. Keith went to America and Frazier to India. Keith had taken 
 orders in the Episcopal Church. His doubts, however, had not been 
 wholly removed, and his life was not consistent with his. professions. 
 In his family was a white servant named McLeod. She attended to 
 the dairy. One evening, after the Parson had grown old, while Mrs. 
 McLeod was employed at her usual duties, a stranger, in military garb, 
 appeared before her and said that he was the spirit of William Frazier, 
 who had just died in India, and who in early life had been the compan¬ 
 ion of Mr. Keith. He told of the compact, and ordered her to tell her 
 master that the Christian religion was true, and that there was a state 
 of future rewards and punishments. She was further to state that her 
 master would live but one year, and that he should at once prepare 
 for death. The woman was alarmed, and being afraid of her master, 
 failed to make the report as required. The next evening the soldier 
 appeared again, and severely threatening her, exacted a promise that 
 she would tell her master. When Parson Keith heard the story from 
 Mrs. McLeod, and had the description of the man, he was convinced of 
 the reality of the apparition, and was satisfied of the truth of the Bible. 
 He set on foot inquiries for William Frazier, and found that he had died 
 in India only a few days prior to his appearance in America. He 
 changed his mode of life, became an exemplary Christian, and died one 
 year after the apparition. 
 
 (v) This tradition is supported by the credence of all the older 
 members of the family, and is corroborated by the fact that the Mc¬ 
 Leod family, of Baltimore, have a record of it in their possession. In 
 1868, two descendants of Mrs. McLeod came to Kentucky, from Mary¬ 
 land, to confer with Martin P. Marshall! and Col. Charles A. Marshall, 
 both of Washington, Ky. They represented that they were descended 
 from Mrs. McLeod, and that their ancestress was an heir to estates in 
 Scotland, and they w'ere in search of evidence to establish their claim. 
 They represented that her Bible was still an heirloom, and reference 
 was there made to the same story. This confirmation of the old legend 
 caused surprise to all parties. 
 
 Whether this story may be entitled to our respect or not, it is strange 
 that no descendant of Parson Keith that I have ever known or heard of, 
 has more than temporarily denied the truth of Christian revelation. 
 Dr. Louis Marshall and J. A. McClung, for a time, had their doubts, but 
 both devoted their last years to the Redeemer. Senator Humprey Mar¬ 
 shall had no Keith blood in his veins. His wife was a pious believer. 
 
THE MARSHALL FAMILY.

 (16) COL. THOMAS MARSHALL. 
 
 ARE THE KEITHS DESCENDED FROM POCAHONTAS? 
 
 ( w ) I shall not take sides in the controversy over this question, 
 but shall content myself with presenting the issue. The Randolph 
 lineage has just been stated. The line of Pocahontas is as follows: 
 
 1. Pocahontas = John Rolfe. 
 
 2. Thomas Rolfe = Miss Poythress. 
 
 3. Jane Rolfe = Col. Robert Bolling. 
 
 4. Major John Bolling = Miss Blair. Their dr.: 
 
 1. Mary Bolling = Jan. 20, 1727, Col. John Fleming. 
 
 1. A daughter, Judith = Thomas Randolph, of Curls. 
 
 1 . Mary Isham Randolph = Rev. James Keith. 
 
 1. Mary Randolph Keith = Col. Thomas Mar¬ 
 shall. 
 
 If this genealogy is correct, the Keiths and Marshalls are tainted 
 with Indian blood. It is denied that Thomas Randolph married a 
 Fleming, but confidently asserted that his wife was Judith Churchill, 
 
 From my earliest recollection, I have heard it asserted by the 
 aged members of the Keith and Marshall families that the proud 
 and noble blood of Pocahontas coursed their veins. Bishop Meade, 
 and Campbell, the Virginia historian, say that Thomas Randolph’s 
 wife was a Fleming. Judge Keith, of Warrenton, so asserts most 
 positively. Col. Thomas M. Green, the best living authority, has no 
 doubt on the question. John Randolph, of Roanoke, who ought to 
 have known, said that his great uncle married a Fleming. 
 
 But a writer in the Richmond Standard, of September 24, 1881, 
 mentions only two daughters of Col. John Fleming, who married, re¬ 
 spectively, Barnard and Branch. The following paper, furnished 
 by Alex. Brown, of Norwood, names a third daughter, and embodies 
 the evidence that Thomas Randolph did not marry a Fleming: 
 
 “Extract from the Descendants of Pocahontas, by Ex-Gov. Wynd- 
 ham Robertson: Mary Bolling, = Col. John Fleming, and had issue, 
 8 children, of whom two were daughters: 1, Mary Fleming; — William 
 Barnard, and 2, Caroline, = James Deane.” 
 
 “According to John Randolph, of Roanoke, the wife of Thomas 
 Randolph, of Tuckahoe, second son and child of the emigrant William 
 Randolph, was a Miss Fleming; but according to Richard Randolph, he 
 married Miss Judith Churchill. Mrs. Ellen Wayles Randolph Harri¬ 
 son, of “Edge-Hill,” Albemarle Co., Ya. ,(a descendant) states that her 
 name was “Judith Churchill,” and that no marriage between a Ran¬ 
 dolph and Fleming took place until a later period.

 “Mr. Wilson Miles Cary, of Baltimore, writes in 1883:” In the 
 conflict of authorities as to the wife of Thomas .Randolph of Tuckahoe, 
 I have always accepted Richard Randolph’s account rather than that 
 of John Randolph, of Roanoke, because the former was a professed 
 antiquary, and more likely to be correct then the eccentric and erratic 
 statesman, who probably took no pains to verify his opinion by general 
 research; —there being no extracts from parish records, there is noth¬ 
 ing left but to choose between their statements, aided by such corrob¬ 
 orating testimony as one can obtain at this late day. 
 
 “ Like Mr. Cary, I do not rely on John of Roanoke, as an antiquary. 
 The children of this couple were: 1, William, b. about 1715, d. prior to 
 1765, = 1736, Maria Judith Page; 2, Judith, b. about 1718, = July 13,1738, 
 Rev. William Steth,the historian ; 3, Mary b. about 1720, = Rev. James 
 Keith of Scotland, who came to Virginia prior to 1730 — in Henrico 
 parish 2d of March, 1733,—said to have removed to Maryland in 1735; 
 but from some time prior to 1745, to about 1758, he was in Hamilton 
 parish, Prince William Co., Va.” 
 
 17 John Marshall was born in Westmoreland Co., Va., about 
 1732. He is said to have married Jane Guisenbury. He 
 was appointed an executor of his father’s will, but failed to qualify. 
 His father died in 1752, and John was then, perhaps, a minor. He 
 came to Bourbon Co., Ky., at an early day. He must have died 
 about the year 1800. His name does not appear upon the records 
 of Bourbon County. I have found no family records, and his pos¬ 
 terity, now living, never heard of him. 
 
 18 Rev. Willlam Marshall was born in Washington parish, 
 Westmoreland Co., Va., in the year 1735,— d. 1809 in Ky., 
 — 1766 in Va., Mary Ann Pickett, daughter of William Pickett 
 and sister of Martin Pickett. His father died in 1752, and the 
 family removed to Fauquier Co., Va., and settled in the vicinity of 
 Germantown. He was a tall, graceful and handsome youth, with 
 dark, piercing eyes and engaging manners, and fond of the fashion¬ 
 able amusements of the day. In 1765, he purchased land two miles 
 west of Markham, Fauquier Co., Va., and his old residence is still 
 pointed out. About 1766 he married, and in 1768 he was brought 
 under the influence of the New Light preachers, and united with 
 the Baptist Church. His gay and festive habits ceased, and in a 
 short time he began to preach. The circumstance of the conversion

 of one so wild, as well as the earnest words he uttered, brought 
 many under his influence. His preaching was attended with such 
 power that multitudes were converted, and he was God’s agent in 
 one of the greatest revivals that ever occurred in Fauquier County. 
 Among the fruits of his ministry were John Taylor and Joseph 
 Reading, who afterwards became zealous apostles of the gospel. He 
 preached for a season in Shenandoah Co., Va., and thousands came 
 out to hear him. Fifty-three persons were at one time baptized in 
 the Shenandoah. Such was his earnestness that some supposed him 
 deranged, and he was apprehended, but released on the solicitation 
 of his brother, Col. Thomas Marshall. He often preached at Happy 
 Creek and Front Royal. In 1780 he removed to Kentucky, and 
 settled in Lincoln County, where his brother Markham had preceded 
 him. A few years later, he removed to Eminence, Henry Co., Ky., 
 and built up “Fox Run’’church. His ministry extended to all 
 parts of the State, and he became a devoted evangelist of the Baptist 
 church. His preaching was an efficient agency in bringing about 
 the remarkable revival of the early part of the present century. 
 But a fall from his horse and a broken limb stopped him from 
 preaching for a time. The bone was imperfectly united, and he 
 suffered much pain. During his confinement he studied theology, 
 and, from that time, his preaching was more doctrinal. But the fire, 
 zeal and pathos of his early years still remained with him. It was 
 affecting to see the earnest patriarch assisted to the pulpit, and there 
 propped, that he might preach to dying men. He died at Eminence 
 in 1809. A year before his death he divided among his children a 
 large amount of real estate, which he had located at an early day. 
 Much of it, however, was lost to his heirs by superior titles. No 
 name is more revered, even at this day, throughout Kentucky; and 
 indeed, William Marshall may be said to have been the best, if not 
 the greatest of the family. His will is recorded in Henry Co., Ky., 
 and is as follows: 
 
 WILLIAM marshall’s WILL. 
 
 (a) In the name of God, Amen: I, William Marshall, of the County 
 of Henry, in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, being weak of body, but 
 sound of mind, memory and understanding, do make and declare this 
 my last will and testament, as follows: 
 
 ( b ) Item: I give and bequeath to my sons, William and Thomas 
 Marshall, a certain tract or parcel of land, containing 300 acres, situate 
 in Shelby County, to them and their heirs forever, according to their

 division by them heretofore made, it being the land I purchased of 
 James and Thomas Reeves. 
 
 (c) Item: I give and bequeath to my daughter, Elizabeth Ballow, 
 a negro girl named Milly, which she now has in possession, to her and 
 to her heirs forever. 
 
 I give and bequeath to my wife, Mary Ann, the tract of land upon 
 which I now reside, containing 107 acres, and all the rest and residue of 
 my estate, both real and personal, during her natural life, if she remains 
 a widow, to be used for the support of herself and younger children, so 
 long as they may live with their mother, viz.: Mary Ann, Susanna and 
 Jane; and in case she should marry another man, or at her death, in 
 either case, then the said lands and personal estate to be equally divided 
 among tbe following children: Hetty Ballow, Martin Marshall, Lucy 
 Booker, Mary Ann, Susanna and Jane Marshall, which shares they and 
 their heirs, are to hold forever; hereby revoking and disannulling all 
 other and former wills, by me heretofore made. 
 
 And lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint my two sons, Lewis 
 and Martin Marshall, my whole and sole executors of this my last will 
 and testament. Dated December 10, 1806. Probated December term, 
 1809. 
 
 (d) Gen. A. W. Doniphan in a letter written to me in 1883, 
 thus notices Mrs. Marshall and her son George: 
 
 In the fall of 1821, my mother made a visit to her only brother, 
 Capt. Robert Smith, of Henry Co., Ky„ and I accompanied her. The 
 mother of Martin Marshall, of Augusta, resided in the same neighbor¬ 
 hood, and Mr. Marshall requested me to deliver her a letter. I found 
 her a sprightly little lady about 80 years old, having no family but her 
 servants. Like many aged persons, she declined a home with any of 
 her children, preferring to live at the old homestead, where her hus¬ 
 band had years before, located in the wilderness, and where he lived, 
 died and was buried. I remained several hours-—dined with her, and 
 was delighted to answer her many questions about her favorite son and 
 his family. At her request I called to see her son, George Marshall, 
 who owned a good farm near the road back of my uncles. He was a 
 stout, robust and energetic farmer, and talked fluently. Of his intelli¬ 
 gence I was too young to judge.

 20 Mary Marshall, b. about 1738, = about 1758, Rev. Wil¬ 
 liam McClanahan, of the Baptist Church. Mary was un¬ 
 married at the time of her father’s death, 1752. The McClanahans 
 lived in Westmoreland County, and the early married years of 
 William and Mary were probably spent there. The marriage must 
 have taken place about 1758. At that time the Marshall fam¬ 
 ily were living near Germantown, Fauquier Co., Va. Their oldest 
 son, Thomas, is said to have been born in Westmoreland. At the 
 breaking out of the war in 1776, the McClanahan family were liv¬ 
 ing in Culpepper County. Sometime towards the close of the cen¬ 
 tury, Mr. McClanahan removed to Greenville, N. C., where he died.

 The will of William McClanahan, father of the emigrant to 
 N. Carolina, is found of record in Westmoreland Co., Va. It is dated 
 September 15, 1760; probated October 29, 1771. His wife’s name 
 was Margaret; his sons were 1, Thomas, 2, Peter, 3, William, 4, 
 James, and 5, John McClanahan. A daughter married Garland 
 Moore, and their children were, 1, Robert Moore, 2, Garland, 3,

 and judicial history of the country, that his biography would

 times, and these pages must be reserved for those whose memory

 might perish, if omitted from my record. At the bar and on the 
 bench, — in congress and in cabinet, — in the councils of war and 
 embassies of peace, he proved himself a jurist, a statesman, a 
 soldier, an orator and a patriot. As the expounder of the Federal 
 Constitution and laws, he laid the foundation of a judicial system 
 that has no equal on earth. His public life was a succession of 
 honors and triumphs, while in his private walk, he was an examplar 
 of humility, patience, charity and love. His name is revered by the 
 nation, and adored by his large posterity. 
 
 After the death of John Marshall of the “Forest” in West¬ 
 moreland Co., Va., April, 1752, the widow and children removed 
 to the vicinity of Germantown, Fauquier Co., Va. Here the 
 eldest son, Thomas Marshall, afterwards Colonel of the Third Vir¬ 
 ginia Volunteers, was married, in 1754, to Mary Randolph Keith, 
 daughter af Parson James Keith. The following year John Mar¬ 
 shall, the Chief Justice was born. In 1765, when John was ten 
 years of age, his father removed to a farm on Goose Creek. Here 
 he resided until 1773, when he purchased the Oakhill estate, 
 situated at the Western foot of Little Cobbler mountain, in Fau¬ 
 quier County. At this day the Midland railroad passes it, and 
 Markham, the Marshall home, has sprung up eight miles to the 
 west. Col. Marshall built a substantial house at “ Oakhill,” which 
 is still in good repair, though it has passed out of the family. For 
 a century it was the homestead of the Marshalls. Mr. F. W. Mad¬ 
 dux, the present proprietor, in October, 1884, wrote me: 
 
 ( b) The farm contains a thousand acres in good repair. The 
 dwelling is well preserved. Col. Marshall had part of it built more 
 than one hundred and thirty years ago. This part has seven rooms, 
 and is much in the style of houses of that age. and has been but little 
 changed The whole building was painted less than a year ago. Judge 
 Marshall’s son Thomas (150), had the other part of the dwelling built, 
 more than sixty years ago, of the very best material, and it shows 
 no sign' of decay. There are five large rooms, and two large halls, 
 besides the basement rooms, in this part of the house. I have added 
 the porches and other little improvements. Only seven of the old 
 oaks from which the farm took its name, are standing in the lawn.” 
 
 (c) It was in this old homestead that John Marshall grew up 
 to manhood. It was afterwards given to him by his father, was 
 long owned by his posterity, and its very soil is hallowed in their 
 memory. Col. Thomas Marshall must have inherited a good patri¬ 
 mony, and, until impoverished by the war was in good circum¬ 
 stances. His children were well instructed at the country schools,

 and by private tutors. The Rev. James Thomson came from Scot¬ 
 land about 1767, and was employed by Col. Marshall to teach his 
 children. Mr. Thomson afterwards married, and established a 
 school which was attended by the children of Col. Marshall. But 
 the children owed their well cultivated minds and their proficiency 
 in history, poetry, science and philosophy chiefly to the instructions 
 of their father. Books were put in their hands, and each was criti¬ 
 cally examined, commended and encouraged. Instead of the silly 
 sports and pass-times of children, they were taught to discuss 
 themes of importance. Books were their companions, and ancient 
 and modern history was their delight. The large household formed 
 a literary society, and intellectual tilts and tournaments were in¬ 
 dulged in at all hours, — but chiefly at the table. Habits of ob¬ 
 servation and thought were encouraged. Col. Marshall himself 
 was a champion, as well as arbiter, in this intellectual chivalry. 
 His profound native mind, extensive reading and varied experience, 
 were superior to the talents of any of his children. Late in life all 
 of them admitted it. For several generations the Marshalls made 
 schools of their families. In my youth, I witnessed and enjoyed 
 the benefits of these family schools. Few of the early members 
 of the family attended college; they were educated at home. 
 
 (d) Here at Oakhill, John Marshall’s mind was disciplined 
 for the grand achievements of after life. His father’s sound judg¬ 
 ment, impartial justice, broad statesmanship, unflinching integrity, 
 indomitable courage and ardent patriotism, laid the foundation of 
 the judicial wisdom that made the son illustrious. Confined at 
 home by the duties of the farm and the school room, he was not 
 conscious of his own superiority; and when called into active life, 
 his modesty and diffidence were a great drawback. The prospect 
 of war called him from retiracy. When brought into collision with 
 the first men of his day, his wonderful power was exhibited; but 
 modesty characterized him to the day of his death. But others 
 observed the merits of which he was himself unconscious. He had 
 not read history in vain, and well knew that war was inevitable. 
 He saw a bloody struggle, but a glorious result. In preparing for 
 war, he was chosen the Lieutenant of a company of minute-men. 
 His patriotic addresses fired the zeal of his soldiers. I shall not 
 follow him closely through the war but shall refer to only the leading 
 events.

 THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 (50) JOHN MARSHALL. 
 
 (e) Mr. Marshall’s first experience was at the battle of the 
 Great Bridge, the successful termination of which was due to the 
 gallantry and courage of his command. In July, 1776, he was ap¬ 
 pointed 1st Lieutenant of a company in the 11th Virginia regi¬ 
 ment. In May, 1777, he became a Captain. He was at the battle 
 of Brandywine September 11,1777 ; at Germantown October 4,1777, 
 at Monmouth June 28, 1778; he endured the hardships of Valley 
 Forge. In 1779 he retired from the army to attend a course of law 
 and philosophy at William and Mary College. In the summer of 
 1780, he was licensed to practice law; but the courts were closed 
 and he returned to the army. After the surrender at Yorktown,he 
 entered on the practice of law. His success was marked from the 
 beginning. In 1782, he was sent to the Legislature from Fauquier 
 County, and was appointed a member of the Council of State. At 
 Yorktown he met with Miss Mary Willis Ambler, daughter of Treas¬ 
 urer Jacquelin Ambler, and they were married January 8, 1783. 
 In 1785 his father removed his family to Kentucky, and gave him 
 “ Oakhill.” But, to prosecute the practice of law, he removed to 
 Richmond. In 1787 he was again in the Legislature. In 1788 he 
 was a member of the Virginia convention that ratified the U. S. 
 Constitution. In 1789, 1790 and 1791, he represented Richmond 
 in the State Legislature. He now devoted himself assiduously to the 
 practice of law, and became distinguished for his clear and compre¬ 
 hensive grasp, and logical analysis of the legal and political questions 
 of the day. Though gentle, and even humble in his manners, and 
 careless of his dress, his intellectual powers placed him at the head 
 of his profession. 
 
 (/) Washington offered Mr. Marshall the place of Attorney 
 General, and afterwards the ministry to France; but both positions 
 were declined, that he might pursue his lucrative practice. But in 
 1797 he accepted from President Adams the place of Envoy to 
 France. On his return, in 1798, his course received general approval. 
 In 1799, at the request of Washington, he ran for Congress and was 
 elected. At the death of the Father of his Country, it was the sad 
 duty of Mr. Marshall to announce that event, and to prepare the res¬ 
 olutions of respect. In the life of Washington, his remarks on this 
 occasion are given, and have been pronounced the finest eulogium 
 ever written; yet the author modestly suppresses his own name. 
 In 1800, Mr. Marshall was Secretary of State under John Adams, 
 
THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 41 
 
 (50) JOHN MARSHALL. 
 
 and January 31, 1801, he was commissioned Chief Justice of the 
 United States, which office he held until his death in 1835. For 
 several years he was engaged on his Life of Washington, w T hich was 
 published from 1804 to 1807, in five volumes. In 1828, he was a 
 delegate to the Internal Improvement Convention at Charlottes¬ 
 ville, and in 1829 was a member and presiding officer of the con¬ 
 vention to revise the State Constitution. 
 
 ( g ) Judge Marshall for many years suffered from a disease of 
 the bladder. An operation gave temporary relief; but in 1835 a 
 disease of the liver caused him to visit Philadelphia for medical re¬ 
 lief, and here he died in his 80th year. His remains were deposited 
 beside his beloved wife at Richmond, Va., and his tomb bears the 
 modest inscription written by himself: 
 
 ( h ) John Marshall, son of Thomas and Mary Marshall, was 
 born the 24th of September, 1755; intermarried with Mary Willis 
 Ambler, the 3d of January, 1783; departed this life the 6th of 
 July, 1835. 
 
 (i) Judge Marshall was a sincere believer in the truth of the 
 Bible. Though reared in an age prolific of infidelity, and in a so¬ 
 ciety given to licentiousness, yet his great mind rested serenely on 
 the truth of Christianity. For a time he doubted the divinity of 
 the Savior; but his scruples were soon removed, and the faith of 
 the Episcopal Church was cordially embraced and transmitted to his 
 posterity. He did not unite with the church, but worshipped regu¬ 
 larly, and a public profession was in contemplation at the time of 
 his death. His posterity, including husbands and wives from other 
 families, amount to over four hundred souls; and nearly all belong 
 to the Episcopal Church. I never met a people more ardent in their 
 faith and upright in their conduct. They are commendably proud 
 of their ancestry, and their patriotism caused them to follow the for¬ 
 tunes of their beloved Virginia. Nearly every man among them 
 took up arms for the Confederacy, and not one supported the North. 
 When peace was established, the survivors returned to wasted homes 
 and depleted families. 
 
 (j) I might fill many pages with interesting anecdotes of Judge 
 Marshall, to show that one possessed of transcendant abilities may 
 be endued with modesty and simplicity; that one whose mind is em¬ 
 bellished with rare intellectual garniture, can neglect his person and

 give no attention to his clothing; and that the clearest reason, and 
 the most logical analysis of the evidences of Christianity lead to a 
 faith in its divine origin. But these chronicles are not intended to 
 suppwt any doctrine, nor to eulogize the living nor the dead. 
 
 (k) Mrs. Marshall has always been commended for her purity 
 and piety. Perhaps the mother was more the agent, than was the 
 father, in bringing their posterity to the house of God. Her hus¬ 
 band, though so exalted, was her devoted lover to the last day of her 
 life; and after her death, he sanctified its anniversary by writing a 
 letter to a friend detailing her virtues and commending her memory. 
 Several of these tributes have been preserved and published. Much 
 of her life, she was an invalid; and her husband tenderly nursed 
 her. Few of the living remember her, but tradition plants the lily 
 and the myrtle, the jasmine and the primrose upon her grave.

 Va., in 1842; = October 15,1785, Rawleigh Colston, b. May 10, 
 1749, d. at “Honeywood,” Va., 1823. Aunt Colston was the oldest 
 daughter of the family of Col. Marshall, and received her educa¬ 
 tion chiefly from her father. She, in turn, became the teacher of 
 her younger brothers and sisters, and they ever regarded her with 
 deep veneration. Her father in his will (16) makes a special be¬ 
 quest to her, as an expression of his gratitude for her self sacrificing 
 labors for his younger children. In early life she was engaged in 
 marriage to Col. Porterfield, a gallant officer of the Revolutionary 
 army. When he fell in battle, she was sorely distressed, and for 
 years seldom entered into society. This event gave a tinge of pious 
 sadness to the remainder of her life. Her hours of meditation and 
 reading were interpersed with the duties of instructing the younger 
 members of the family. Nature had endowed her with superior 
 mental qualifications, and her diligent study of the best authors of 
 the day, made her a highly accomplished lady. At the age of 
 twenty-seven she was married to the wealthy and accomplished 
 Rawleigh Colston, at the house of her brother John, in Richmond. 
 He died, in 1823, and she survived him nearly twenty years. She 
 continued to reside at Honeywood until her death in 1842. I 
 believe that she never visited Kentucky. Her memory is fragrant 
 in the hearts of all who share her blood. The following obituary 
 notice appeared immediately after her death: 
 
 Died at Honeywood, in the County of Berkeley, Ya., on Friday, the 
 24th inst., Mrs. Elizabeth Colston, relict of Rawleigh Colston, Esq., in the 
 86th year of her age. This lady was the eldest sister of the late Chief 
 Justice Marshall, whom she strongly resembled in many respects, 
 particularly in the directness and perfect simplicity of her character. 
 Of uncommonly clear and vigorous mind, she used every faculty, not to 
 magnify herself, but to humbly direct her to the proper discharge of 
 every social and moral duty. As a wife, parent, mistress, relation, 
 neighbor and friend, she attracted the esteem and love of all who

 approached her. More especially was her Christian character marked 
 and decisive, seeming to strengthen as her physical powers decayed. 
 From the middle of the preceding month, she had been confined to 
 her bed, and suffered much pain. Throughout the whole, she was per¬ 
 fectly resigned to the will of God — yet constantly praying that if it 
 were' His will, she might be permitted to depart and go hence. It was 
 natural that her devoted family should pray for her recovery, but this 
 she requested them not to do, as her strongest desire was to be with 
 her Lord in whom she trusted.” 
 
 (b) Rawleigh Colston was born at Exeter Lodge, in what is now 
 Northumberland Co., Va., the seat of his father, on Yocomico river. 
 His mother died about 1752, and his father removed with his chil¬ 
 dren to Hornby Manor, an estate on the Rappahannoch, presented to 
 the children, by their Uncle Daniel Hornby. Here the father died 
 after a few months residence. A Scotch gentleman, named Rich¬ 
 ardson, was employed as tutor for the children. Mr. Richardson, 
 was a scholar and a Christian, and the children were well instructed 
 in the languages, and thoroughly indoctrinated in the tenets of the 
 established church. At fourteen, young Rawleigh Colston was a 
 fair Latin scholar. He was then apprenticed to his relative, James 
 Tarpley, a member of an extensive mercantile house, in Williams¬ 
 burg, Va. Here he remained several years, acquiring little busi¬ 
 ness knowledge, and exposed to the vices of improper associates. 
 On the death of Mr. Tarpley, Rawleigh returned to his guardian, 
 Maj. Traverse Tarpley, in Richmond County. After spending a 
 year or two in idleness, he applied himself to the study of law. For 
 this purpose he returned to Williamsburg, and read with Chancellor 
 George Wythe. After three years he was licensed as an attorney. 
 But before he had fairly entered on the practice, the Revolutionary 
 War broke out, and the courts were closed. Mr. Colston now sold 
 his patrimonial estate, and raised and equipped a company for the 
 war; but being absent when the regiment was organized, another 
 was put in command. He was thereupon appointed a commercial 
 agent to collect military stores abroad, and was sent to Cape Fran- 
 ceois, St. Domingo Here he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and 
 operated for the colonies. He also engaged in adventures on his 
 own account, which were successful, and he amassed a considerable 
 fortune. In 1784, he returned to Virginia, and, next year was 
 married. He returned to Frederick County and engaged in farm¬ 
 ing. In 1801 he established himself at Honeywood, on the banks 
 of the Potomac. This estate he received as part of the proceeds of

 (c) 1. William Colston, of Bristol, England, was a brother of 
 Edward Colston, the great philanthropist, whose marble 
 statute stands in All-Saints Church, Bristol, and, to whose 
 honor and memory, a sermon is annually preached. Wil¬ 
 liam, b. about 1618, came to Virginia, about 1645, and was 
 clerk of Rappahannock County. 
 
 2. His son William Colston, was b. about 1665. 
 
 3. Charles Colston, b. about 1690, = Susan Traverse, daughter 
 of William Traverse. 
 
 4. Traverse Colston, b. about 1712, = 1st Alice Corbin Griffin; 
 and after her death =2d, Susanna Opie. The latter was 
 mother of Rawleigh Colston, b. May 10, 1749.

 1790, Frances Maitland Kennan, b. in Va., July 24, 1773; d. 
 in Washington, Ky-, November 19, 1833. Mr. Marshall received 
 his education from his father, sisters and the tutors employed in the 
 family. At the age of seventeen he volunteered as a private in his 
 father’s regiment, and served until the close of the Revolutionary 
 war, at whicli time he held the commission of a Captain. He saw 
 hard service, and participated in many of the bloody battles of the 
 war of Independence. At the end of the war he married Susanna 
 Adams, b. April 1, 1769, daughter of John Adams and Sarah Stacy 
 Gibbons. She died childless after one year. See the Adams Gen. 
 (32). 
 
 Capt. Marshall spent several years on his farm in Fauquier. In 
 the fall of 1788, or the spring of 1789, he came to Kentucky The

 to his cousin and brother-in-law, Thomas Smith (32). It shows that 
 he was in Kentucky at its date, and its reference to his grain, not 
 yet thrashed, indicates his departure from Virginia was but a few 
 months earlier. 
 
 ( b ) Dear Sir: We are at a very great distance, and opportunities 
 seldom offer for me to write. You, I understand from Susan’s letter, do 
 not intend to write until you receive a letter. I have written before; 
 but this, I hope, will remove all obstructions. I hope you will write me 
 by the first opportunity. I have nothing of consequence to write you. 
 So I shall not refer to any particular event. The most of us do as well 
 as we can, but not as well as we wish. I am sorry to learn that my grain 
 has not been thrashed, for I am in great want of money; and I hope 
 you will proceed to settle the small matters you promised to do, against 
 the fall. Without some unforeseen accident should prevent me, I in¬ 
 tend to go into Virginia this fall. Yon must give my respectful compli¬ 
 ments to Cousin Betty and family, and my good old neighbors. You 
 are pretty well acquainted with them I esteemed as neighbors, so I need 
 not mention them particularly'. I am, dear cousin, affectionately, 
 
 thomas Marshall; jun. 
 
 (c) P. S. Dear Susan: ( Mrs. Susan Morgan, his late wife’s niece). 
 
 I received yours by my brother. It gives a singular satisfaction to find 
 you still affectionate; for you are the only one of my friends, of either 
 sex, that shows any sensibility. I expect to see you this fall, if please 
 God I live. I wish you all the happiness I can a friend or relation, for 
 as such I esteem you. And I hope that you will act with all the pru¬ 
 dence that becomes your sex. Let me hear from you by every oppor¬ 
 tunity. THOMAS MARSHALL. 
 
 (d) Capt. Marshall, as be promised in the above letter, re¬ 
 turned to Virginia in the fall of 1789, and in the spring of 1790, we 
 find him descending the Ohio to Maysville, in a flatboat. See 2d 
 Collins, Ky., 569-71. His adventure with the Indians, and bis 
 almost miraculous escape, is recorded by McClung in his “ Western 
 Adventure.” Shortly after Capt. Marshall’s arrival, he was mar 
 ried to Miss Fanny M. Kennan. His first residence was on Clark’s 
 Run, four miles west of Washington. Here he built a fine log house, 
 with substantial stone chimneys. In the old cupboard he kept the 
 county records for a time. In this old house my childhood was 
 passed, and it was still standing when I last visited it in 1872. 
 Capt. Marshall was the first clerk of Mason County, and was, per¬ 
 haps, still in office when he died in 1817. He was a member of the 
 convention that formed the first constitution of Kentucky. His 
 father, Col. Thomas Marshall, left “Buckpond” in 1800, and came 
 to Mason to live with his son Thomas. Capt. Marshall had, I think, 
 moved into Washington as early as 1795, and built a frame house 
 on what was, and is, known as “ The Hill.” But when Col. Mar-

 (56) CAPT. THOMAS MARSHALL. 
 
 shall came to Washington in 1800, he assisted his son in the erection 
 of the spacious brick mansion, which is still the Marshall homestead. 
 Here, Capt. Marshall, for seventeen years, dispensed his noble char¬ 
 ities. Here, “Aunt Fanny,” during the sixteen years of her Widow¬ 
 hood, entertained her relatives with profuse hospitality, and Judge 
 J. J. Key, Dr. J. A. McClung and Martin P. Marshall made the old 
 residence a home for all who were of their blood. It was sometimes 
 called the “Federal Hill,” on account of the political proclivities of 
 Capt. Marshall and his chosen friends. The following letter of 
 Capt. Marshall to his first wife’s niece will interest his posterity. It 
 is directed to Mrs. Susanna Morgan, Oakhill, Fauquier Co., Va.,— 
 by the hands of H. W. Barnett, and dated October 12, 1810: 
 
 ( e ) Dear Susan: After a silence of all my friends and acquaint¬ 
 ances for nearly twenty years, I was sometime ago agreeably surprised 
 by the receipt of a letter from you, which showed 1 was not entirely 
 forgotten by the whole of you. But your letter, agreeable and interest¬ 
 ing as it was to me, might have been rendered much more so if you had 
 gone more into family details. Things that to you, on the spot, who see 
 them as they pass, appear of no consequence,—to a friend at a distance, 
 who still feels a strong interest in your welfare, things which appear to 
 you as nothing, are of consequence to me. I wish to hear how each of 
 your brothers and sisters are settled, and what they are about—how 
 your mother is doing, and everything relating to all my friends and rel¬ 
 atives in your quarter, for I still look upon you all, and feel that you 
 are all my relatives. I am now growing old, fat and clumsy, with a 
 house full of children, and am very sure I shall never go to your coun¬ 
 try again ; and feel angry and hurt at any one’s coming to this country 
 without calling on me. I was informed sometime ago, that Jo. Chilton 
 passed through this place without calling on me. I was much surprised 
 at it, as I live in town, and it hurt me very much. Don’t expect to have 
 regular answers to your letters from an old fellow like me; but don’t 
 let that prevent you from writing, as I really receive a great pleasure 
 from finding myself still remembered by you. I always feel an interest 
 in the welfare of the people of that part of the world, where I have spent 
 so many of my happy, as well as unhappy hours. I still look upon my¬ 
 self as your uncle, and therefore shall subscribe myself as your uncle, 
 
 T. MARSHALL. 
 
 (/) Aunt Fanny was a short, stout woman, and full of life and 
 energy. She gathered into her large drawing-room the intelligent, 
 the beautiful and the chivalrous of the West. Many interesting 
 and memorable events transpired under her roof, and make her a 
 historic character. In my early days, when homeless and parent¬ 
 less, I found a welcome and motherly attention on “The Hill.” 
 Though Aunt Fanny’s temper was terrible in threats, she seldom 
 struck a blow. When I would steal her preserves, her short, heavy 
 form would rise on tiptoe, her head would shake, and her trembling

 fore-finger would point upon my crouching figure, and wrath and 
 threatswould pour as a river; and the nest moment the poor orphan 
 child would be led to her larder and treated to delicacies. Her table 
 was prodigal in its abundance, and the more company she had the 
 better she was satisfied. Capt. and Mrs. Marshall lie side by side in 
 the “ Hill ” cemetery. His epitaph reads : 
 
 ( g ) Thomas Marshall, son of Thomas and Mary Marshall, was born 
 the 27th of October, 1761, and after serving his friends, his family, his 
 country and himself, departed this life the 19th day of March, 1817. To 
 all, especially to the widows and orphans of the poor, to one as a friend, 
 and to the other as a benefactor. To his memory his affectionate widow 
 and children have constructed this monument. 
 
 Aunt Fanny was raised an Episcopalian,— was somewhat in¬ 
 clined to the Baptists, but joined the Presbyterian Church, that she 
 might be with her friends. She joined the church in 1818, and from 
 that day her house was the home of all Presbyterian ministers. Her 
 epitaph reads: 
 
 Erected to the memory of Mrs. Frances Marshall, who died Novem¬ 
 ber 19,1833, in the 61st year of her age. During the vicissitudes of a 
 long life, chequered, as is the lot of humanity, with much of happiness 
 and more of sorrow, the character of the deceased remained the same. 
 An affectionate wife, a fond mother, an humble but ardent Christian, a 
 warm-hearted and devoted friend, she will long be remembered in that 
 extensive circle of friends and relatives who, for many years met at her 
 hospitable board, and to whom her house was a home. In the bosom 
 of that numerous connection, who had known her worth and shared her 
 affection, she expired calmly, cheerfully, happily, in the full hope of a 
 joyful resurrection.

 CQ (a) James Markham Marshall, b. in Fauquier Co., Va., 
 ^ March 12, 1764; d. at “Fairfield,” Fauquier Co., April 26, 
 1848 ; =April 9, 1795, Hester Morris, b. July 30, 1774; d, at 
 “ Fairfield,” April 18,1816. Both were buried at “ Happy Creek.” 
 
 Mr. Marshall, like his brothers, was thoroughly educated at 
 home. Though quite a youth, he was elected a Lieutenant in one 
 of the companies of Alex. Hamilton’s regiment, and served to the 
 close of the Revolutionary War. At the siege of Yorktown, he 
 led the “ forlorn hope,” in an attack upon the fort. He came to 
 Kentucky with his father, and, on one occasion, went to the field 
 to fight a duel with James Brown, afterward Minister to France 
 and Senator from Louisianna. He returned to Virginia in 1795, 
 and married Hester, daughter of Rob. Morris, the great patriot and 
 financier of the Revolution. He was sent, by Washington, as 
 agent of the government, to negotiate the release of LaFayette, 
 when a prisoner of Austria, at Olmutz; and while in Paris, wit¬ 
 nessed the outrages of the Reign of Terror. Several years were 
 spent abroad, and his two oldest children were born on ships of war, on 
 the British coast. While in England, he purchased of the heirs of 
 Lord Fairfax, all their estates in what was called the Northern Neck 
 of Virginia. This purchase was made in the names of John Mar¬ 
 shall, (Chief Justice,) Rawleigh Colston, Harry (Light Horse) 
 Lee and James M. Marshall. But the State of Virginia set up 
 title to the lands by confiscation, and a compromise was effected, 
 whereby the company received all the Fairfax lands in Leeds 
 Manor and some other smaller tracts. Their portion embraced about 
 180,000 acres, and the cost to them was something less than one 
 dollar per acre. James M. Marshall purchased the share of Harry 
 Lee, and Mr. Colston took lands on the Potomac. All the unsold 
 lands in Leeds Manor, therefore, went to John and James Marshall; 
 and here their posterity have found homes. They form a commu¬ 
 nity in and around the little town of Markham, Fauquier County; 
 attend Leeds church, and send their sons to the State University. 
 All are Democrats, and members of the Episcopal church. There 
 is hardly a household that does not have family worship, and 
 they are never seated at their meals until the oldest present, 
 whether male or female,— father, mother or child,— asks a blessing 
 upon them. They are a frugal, honest, upright, hospitable, sensible 
 and pious people; and I venture to say there is no spot on the con-

 tinent, that has produced more preachers to the acre, than Leeds 
 Manor; and I am confident that no other portion of the South, of 
 equal population, sent to the Southern army so many heroes. 
 
 (b) With a double portion of the lands thus acquired, Mr. 
 Marshall became a large proprietor, and left his children large 
 estates. 
 
 Mr. Marshall studied law and practiced in Winchester. He was 
 eminent in his profession, and like all the early members of the 
 family, he was a decided Federalist. Under the tutelage of Alex. 
 Hamilton, he could be nothing else. The last night of the adminis¬ 
 tration of John Adams, Mr. Marshall was appointed one of what is 
 known as the “Midnight Judges;” but the incoming congress was 
 Democratic, and legislated them out of office. 
 
 Early in the present century Mr. Marshall left Winchester, and 
 built on his Happy Creek estate, a costly villa, consisting of a 
 baronial castle, and spacious qaarters for his servants, tenants and 
 dependants. This massive structure, with its wide halls and lofty 
 ceilings, still affords shelter for half of his posterity, and its broad 
 and fertile acres bring them a good income. About 1816, he yielded 
 possession of this magnificent estate to his oldest son, R. M. Mar¬ 
 shall, and retired to Fairfield, where he died. He was a handsome 
 and dignified old gentleman, six feet two inches tall, weighed 
 about 200 pounds, raw-boned, and he wore a cue, stockings and 
 knee-buckles. 
 
 Mrs. Hester Marshall is said to have been a lovely woman. In 
 the principal hall at Happy Creek, there hangs a splended painting 
 of a mother and two daughters. One of the latter shows the beau¬ 
 tiful face and form of Mrs. Marshall.

 60 Judith Marshall, b. in Fauquier Co., about 1766; = about 
 1783, George Brooke. Aunt Judith married against the 
 advice of her parents, yet she does not seem to have been cast off 
 by them. Her father in his will, gives her a full share of his prop¬ 
 erty. The will is dated June 26, 1798, and the Brooke family were 
 then perhaps, living in Lewis Co., Ky. Here they spent their 
 latter years. Mrs. Brooke is said to have been a beautiful and 
 lively girl. Mr. Brooke is described as a fine gentleman, of prepos¬ 
 sessing person and fascinating manners, but dissipated, idle and 
 profligate. After marriage they had but little intercourse with the 
 rest of the family. When they died, or, specifically, where, I 
 have not learned. Some of the children were left in Kentucky, 
 and others in Virginia. There were seven children. Three of the 
 boys never married. Mary left quite a household of children, 
 and her posterity are numerous. My chart shows a large part of 
 her descendants. Mrs. Nat Whiting of Prince William Co., Va., 
 was a sister of George Brooke. Another sister, Kitty, —a Conrad. 
 George Brooke belonged to the large and worthy Brooke family of 
 Virginia, but I have not been able to trace the connection.

 mond bar. His first wife was a sister of Dr. Adams, remembered 
 for his chimerical projects for improving the city of Richmond, in 
 which he lost much money. His second wife’s name will be found

 THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 (64) CHARLES MARSHALL. 
 
 He is said to have been a man of genius, erudition and eloquence. 
 He practiced law at Warrenton, Ya. His son, Martin P. Marshall, 
 always referred to his father as a brilliant orator and a profound 
 jurist. Martin was but seven years old when his father died, but he 
 ha'd a distinct recollection of his being paralyzed by disease, and of 
 his being borne, by his servants, in a chair, to the court house, that 
 he might attend to business.

 town, September, 25,1762; d. May 8,1836. Mr. Ambler was born 
 and reared in Jamestown, and inherited a large estate. He was 
 finely educated, and was eminently a gentleman. His first wife was 
 Fannie Armistead. She bore him a son, Edward, 1783, and Mary 
 Cary Ambler, 1787 —1843. His first wife died in 1787, and in 
 1790 he married Lucy Marshall, by whom he had one son, Thomas 
 Marshall Ambler (242). Lucy died in 1795. Her death was the 
 first and only one of the family that Col. Marshall was called on to 
 mourn. Read his letter written on the occasion (16 e.). Her early 
 death cast a pall of sorrow over the whole family. “ Lucy ” has be¬ 
 come a favorite family name, and attests her loveliness. For many 
 years her name was seldom spoken without a sigh or a tear. Mr. 
 John Ambler afterwards removed to Richmond, Va., and married 
 Mrs. Catherine Norton, nee Bush, and raised a large family of chil¬ 
 dren. For his genealogy see the Ambler chart, No. 50 n.

 Mr. Marshall came to Kentucky with his father, on his second 
 trip in 1785. Under the tuition of his accomplished sisters, he re¬ 
 ceived at home the classical education for which the Marshalls were 
 remarkable, and breathed the literary atmosphere that enveloped 
 
THE MARSHALL FAMILY.

 ( 68 ) ALEXANDER KEITH MARSHALL. 
 
 “Oakhill” and “Buckpond.” After marriage, Mr. Marshall re¬ 
 moved to Mason Co., Ky., and on the farm now known as“ Walnut 
 Grove,” erected the quaint brick house w T hich is still owned by his 
 posterity. The locust and walnut groves he cherished have nearly 
 disappeared; but the old-fashioned building, with its high stone 
 steps, double doors, rouncTfront windows, and antique carvings, still 
 stands, and will yet for generations resist the encroachments of time. 
 Here Mr. Marshall spent his life, and here he and his first wife are 
 buried. 
 
 Mr. Marshall is remembered as a tall, stately, accomplished and 
 exceedingly handsome gentleman. He dressed in the old style of 
 cue, stocking and buckle. He was a fine lawyer and one of the most 
 chaste and fluent speakers of his day. He possessed a large estate, 
 and practiced law rather for the excitement and employment it 
 afforded, than for its income. In my youth his small brick office 
 still stood in the yard, and tvas the dormitory for boys. His busi¬ 
 ness was chiefly in the Court of Appeals, of which he was clerk for 
 years. From 1797 to 1800, he represented Mason County in the 
 State Legislature. In 1818 he was appointed State Reporter, and 
 edited three volumes of decisions, which are still of high authority. 
 Collins, in his History of Kentucky, refers to him as a “ pioneer 
 lawyer, and one of the ablest of his day.” The latter years of his 
 life were spent at home. When about to marry a second time, Mr. 
 Marshall, by the advice of Senator J. J. Crittenden, who was an in¬ 
 timate friend and companion, made deeds to his children of his real 
 estate, leaving himself a small portion. His will is short and I copy 
 it in full: 
 
 A. K. MARSHALL’S WILL. 
 
 (6) I make my present wife my sole executrix, and authorize her 
 to dispose of my property, landed and personal, to pay my debts and 
 finish the house I am now building. I give my wife everything I own 
 for her life,— to be responsible to no person, and, at her pleasure, to 
 dispose of it among my children by my first wife, as she pleases. If my 
 wife has issue by me, and that issue survives her, I give after her death, 
 the whole property to that issue. Should my wife die without disposing 
 of my property, I will that what little I have, go to my son Charles, to 
 the children of Maria Paxton and Jane Sullivant. 
 
 A. K. MARSHALL. 
 
 The will had no witnesses, but was in his handwriting. It is 
 dated October 28, 1824, and probated at the April term, 1825.

 a McDowell, and like all of the name, possessed both beauty and 
 loveliness. Her purity of heart, sweet disposition and Christian 
 graces, made her an universal favorite. She was so much beloved 
 by her nephews and neices, that she was known as their “ angel 
 aunt.” She inherited the Presbyterian faith from her Scotcli-Irish 
 ancestors, and became one of the founders of the Washington 
 Church. See the chart of the McDowells appended to this article. 
 
 Mrs. Eliza A. Ball was a Lewis. Her first husband was John 
 Luke, of Alexandria, Va., by whom she had several children. Her 
 second husband was a Ball, who left one child, Spencer Ball, whose 
 life was spent on the Mississippi river, in the steamboat trade. See 
 Lewis chart, No. 870. 
 
 THE M’DOWELL FAMILIES — 1ST, SAMUEL. 
 
 (d ) Ephraim McDowell, emigrant, was born in the North of 
 Ireland, of Scotch parents. He married Margaret Irvin, and they 
 came to America after the birth of their four children: 1, John; 2, 
 Mary E.; 3, Margaretta, and 4, James. The family first settled in 
 Pennsylvania, but after several years sojourn, they removed to Au¬ 
 gusta Co., Va., and were among the first settlers of the “Borden 
 Tract ” of 10,000 acres. Their son John, born in Ireland, about 
 1714, married in Pennsylvania, Magdalen Wood, whose mother was 
 of the James Campbell clan, in the service of the Duke of Argyle. 
 In the fall of 1737, the family removed to Virginia, and December 
 25, 1742, John, the oldest son, was killed when in pursuit of Indians. 
 The children of John and Magdalen were: 1st, Samuel; 2d, James; 
 3d, Sarah.

 James McDowell was b. August, 1770, and d. September, 1838. 
 Distinguished by a native talent of a high order, a gallant and fear¬ 
 less spirit, a noble sense of justice, a lofty courage and an invincible 
 power of will, he lived honorably and usefully, discharging with 
 singular ability and fidelity, the trusts, civil and military, committed 
 to him, and died universally regretted. His remains repose here

 Sarah McDowell, daughter of Col. Wm. Preston and wife of 
 James McDowell, was b. May 23, 1768, and d. July 3, 1841. Bom 
 in the stormy period of our national history, her character, moulded 
 by the spirit and developed by the struggle of the times, was emi¬

 the gentler qualities of the tender and devoted woman and the sin¬

 (70) DR. LOUIS MARSHALL. 
 
 . - 
 
 *7A (a) Dr. Louis Marshall, b. at “ Oakhill,” Fauquier Co., 
 
 Ya., October 7, 1773; d. at Buckpond, Woodford County, 
 Ky., 1866; = at Frankfort, Ky., 1800, Agatha Smith, b. 1782; 
 d. May 1844. Like the other sons of Col. Marshall, Louis received 
 instruction under the parental roof. When the family came to 
 Kentucky in 1785, he was with them, and remembered the events 
 of the perilous voyage down the Ohio, on a flat boat. He was sent 
 to Edinburg, to complete his literary and scientific studies; and 
 thence went to Paris, that he might enjoy all the advantages of 
 that city for instruction in medicine and surgery. But the thrilling 
 events of the French Revolution demanded his attention. He 
 became an ardent Republican, and, with some of his fellow students 
 participated in the attack on the Bastile, — was present at the mas¬ 
 sacre of the Swiss guard, — witnessed the murder of the Princess De- 
 Lamballe, — was arrested in the Reign of Terror, and lay in prison 
 for several years. He was at one time condemned to death, but 
 was saved by the stratagem of the turnkey. He was at length 
 liberated through the intercession of his brothers, John and James, 
 then in Paris as representatives of the United States. He is said 
 to have fought several duels, not without fatal results to his adver¬ 
 saries. However the truth may be, he would never suffer any one 
 to refer to his career in Paris. He became excited at any allusion 
 to it. 
 
 (6) Upon the marriage of Dr. Marshall, in 1800, his father 
 surrendered “ Buckpond ” to him, and retired to Mason County, to 
 dwell with his son, Thomas. Upon this farm Dr. Marshall com¬ 
 menced the practice of medicine, and attained the name of the 
 most learned and successful physician in the State. His extraor¬ 
 dinary attainments not only in medicine and surgery, but in every 
 department of knowledge, gave him a high reputation throughout 
 the West. But he inherited the family talent and propensity for 
 teaching, and at his country home, gathered the most promising 
 young men of Kentucky, and formed a private school. Nearly all 
 his nephews in the West were educated by him at “ Buckpond.” 
 He was a fine linguist, and well read in science, history, philosophy, 
 and bells-letters. His scholars admired and feared him. He was 
 a strict disciplinarian —severe and dogmatic in his style. He treated 
 his scholars often with rudeness, encouraged a combatative style of 
 argumentation, and instilled self-reliance. Among his scholars, the

 Louis Marshall, Robt. M. Marshall, Geo. Madison, Joseph Perry, 
 Christopher Tompkins, Charles Walker, Samuel Wallace and 
 Henry Waller. This list with many others who are not recollected, 
 forms an imperishable monument to his name. 
 
 (c) In 1838, Dr. Marshall was President of Washington Col¬ 
 lege, Lexington, Va.; and in 1855, he was President of Transyl¬ 
 vania University. He died at the age of 93, with a mind little 
 impaired by time. In early life, he was tinctured with infidelity. 
 As he said, himself, he tried hard to disbelieve the Bible. His 
 doubts, however, were overcome, and he became a firm believer. 
 The return of Dr. McClung (272) to the church, was, perhaps, 
 owing largely to his Uncle’s influence. I heard several lengthy 
 private discussions between them in 1838 on the prophesies. 
 
 (d) Dr. Marshall, even before the death of his wife, spent 
 much of his time in visiting from house to house, among his rela¬ 
 tives. The first time I remember meeting him, was in 1835, at the 
 house of his niece and my step-mother, Mary K. Green, near Dan¬ 
 ville, where I was attending college. I had often heard of his 
 peculiarities, and of his bluff’ and dictatorial manner, and was pre¬ 
 pared for a rebuff. I spoke to him cordially, called him Uncle 
 Louis, and offered him my hand. He threw himself back, folded 
 his arms and exclaimed : “ Who the d—1 are you, presuming to call 
 me uncle!” I explained my relationship, and told my name. He 
 thereupon became gracious, enquired into my studies, and ordered 
 me to bring my Ciesar, that he might see if I had any sense. For¬ 
 tunately, he selected a passage with which I was familiar. I trans¬ 
 lated it correctly; but he said otherwise; and pronounced me a 
 fool. I was then ordered to parse a passage. He laughed at me 
 and asked what sort of teachers I was under. Knowing his dispo¬ 
 sition I turned on him, and expressed my surprise at his want of 
 scholarship and good breeding. This impertinence pleased him, 
 and he always treated me kindly afterward.

 (70) DR. LOUIS MARSHALL. 
 
 Many stories are told of Uncle Louis’s whims and peculiarities, 
 as well as of his towering intellect and sublime scholarship. But 
 he was more feared than respected, — more admired than loved. 
 
 Aunt Agatha Marshall was said to have been a lovely woman. 
 Her husband was never rough to her. His scholars esteemed her 
 highly, and she was generally beloved. She and her husband were 
 buried at “Buckpond” but afterward removed to Frankfort. 
 Chancellor Logan (264) and his wife were also interred at Frank¬ 
 fort.

 tucky, over which he presided; he then removed with my father, 
 Jas. A. Paxton, to Mason Co., Ky.; was appointed Circuit Judge, 
 and died in office in 1811. In Mason, Judge McClung resided near 
 Washington, Ky., and then purchased the Orr farm, in Charleston 
 bottom, three miles below Marysville. He was attacked with a ma¬ 
 lignant fever while holding court at Augusta, and was brought up 
 home in a skiff. He was buried on the farm, about 300 yards south¬ 
 east of the family mansion. 
 
 (6) Judge McClung was a man of superior legal and literary 
 attainments, and unblemished morals. His logical mind, with his 
 training and erudition, made him almost irresistable in argument. 
 Collins (2d Ky., 576) says, that “ he was distinguished for his high 
 attainments as a lawyer, but most eminently for his unapproachable 
 integrity as a judge.” My father studied law with him and named 
 me for him. 
 
 Aunt McClung was, perhaps, the most intellectual of the daugh¬ 
 ters of Col. Thos. Marshall. Her mind possessed masculine powers, 
 and she delighted to associate with people of culture. She com¬ 
 bined intelligence with sweetness of temper, purity of thought and 
 tenderness of heart. In the days of my childhood and orphanage, 
 she was a mother to me. I delighted to read to her, and hear her 
 comments. She was dignified and imposing in her manner; yet 
 everybody loved her. Her reading was extensive, her information 
 varied, and her conversation exceedingly interesting. When, in 
 1831 and 1832, I lived at the old haunted Orr mansion, perched on 
 the Ohio bluff, with its solitary halls, lofty ceilings, aud spacious 
 corridors, she kindly took me to her room of nights, to allay my boy¬ 
 ish fears of ghosts. In her long widowhood of 47 years, she was a 
 welcome and honored visitor among her kindred.

 Co., Md., 1766, d. in Washington, Ivv., 1828. Dr. Duke = 2d, 
 Margaret Chinn, dr. of Raleigh Chinn, of Mayslick, Ivy. She 
 survived him, and after his death returned to her relatives. 
 
 I know little of Aunt Charlotte She died before my birth. 
 The little I have heard of her is to her credit. The second mar¬ 
 riage of Dr. Duke was unfortunate. The children all left the pa¬ 
 rental roof, and all records and memorials were lost. Dr. Duke’s 
 pedigree is unknown to his posterity, but the Duke family, to which 
 he belonged, is still found in Calvert Co., Md. 
 
 Dr. Duke received a superior education, under the tuition of a 
 Scotchman, eminent for his scholorship. After studying'medicine, 
 and practicing for some years in Baltimore, he removed about 1791 to 
 Leuington, Ivy., where he enjoyed a large practice. In 1798, he re- 
 n "V< d to Washington, Ivy., and, while practicing, was extensively 
 engaged in the mercantile pursuits, in company with Judge John

 Coburn and Capt. Nath’l Wilson. Their dry goods store was kept 
 in a frame building opposite the house now occupied by James Mar¬ 
 shall. Dr. Duke and Judge Coburn built the old Duke House, 
 southeast of the Court house, and their families occupied separate 
 apartments of it. Capt. Wilson built the Dr. Johnston house, south 
 of the Court house. 
 
 Dr. Duke was the first physician in Kentucky that had indepen¬ 
 dence and faith to recommend vaccination, and to this circumstance, 
 as well as to his medical skill, he owes the high regard shown to his 
 name by the profession. But he is also honored for his enterprise, 
 integrity and kindness of heart. 
 
 76 Jane Marshall, b. at “Oakhill,” Fauquier Co., Va., July 
 29, 1779,d.at Mt. Ephraim, Fauquier Co., Va., September 13, 
 1766, = December 22,1799, George Keith Taylor, b. March 16, 
 1769, d. November 10,1815. Aunt Taylor was handsome, dignified, 
 intelligent and amiable. She received her education chiefly in the 
 family circle, and teaching was the theme of her thoughts and the 
 business of her life. The death of her husband gave her intense 
 anguish. The strain upon her mind was so severe as to cause appre¬ 
 hensions of insanity. Her physician recommended some employ¬ 
 ment to turn her thoughts from her bereavement. She engaged in 
 teaching, and opened a large school in Petersburg, Va. Her mind 
 became absorbed with her new duties, and she succeeded admirably. 
 After a time she removed her school to Richmond. About 1837, 
 after the marriage of her oldest daughter, she visited her relatives 
 in Kentucky, in company with her two younger daughters, Sallie 
 and Georgianna. I met her at the house of her niece, Mary K. 
 Green (180), near Danville. She spent several weeks with the 
 family. All were highly pleased with mother and daughters. The 
 latter were remarkable for their skill in music. On her return to 
 Virginia, she continued to teach, and her friends claim that her sys¬ 
 tem of education was new and admirable. But her eyesight began 
 to fail, and she finally became totally blind, after having overtaxed 
 her eyes by reading small print. But she still preserved her cheer¬ 
 fulness, and learned to read by touch, as the blind are taught. She 
 died at “ Mt. Ephraim,” the seat of the Royalls. 
 
78 THE MARSHALL FAMILY.

 George Keith Taylor was the oldest child of Richard Taylor, a 
 wealthy merchant of Petersburg, Va., and his wife, Mary Field. 
 By the marriage settlement between his parents, the oldest son was 
 to be named George Iv. Taylor, and a large estate was settled upon 
 him. He was descended from the celebrated Quaker, and was named 
 for him before birth. He was in no way related to Parson Jas. Keith. 
 Geo. K. Taylor was born, lived and died at “Spring Garden,” the 
 seat of the Taylors, in Petersburg, Va. 
 
 •Jg Nancy Marshall, b. at “Oakhill,” Fauquier Co., Va., 
 about 1781; = 1803, Col. Joe Hamilton Daviess, son of 
 Joseph and Jean Daviess, b. in Bedford Co., Va., March 4, 1774; 
 killed at the battle of Tippeconoe, November 8, 1811. About 
 1779, his parents moved to the vicinity of Danville, Ivy. He 
 received from tutors a good classical education. In 1792 he had 
 
 his first experience in Indian warfare, under Gen. Adair, who 
 crossed the Ohio and made an incursion as far as Fort St. Clair. 
 Upon his return, he studied law with the celebrated George Nicho¬ 
 las. He was a laborious and indefatigable student, and when, in 
 1795, he was licensed, took a high position at the bar; settled at 
 Danville, but being appointed United States Attorney for the dis¬ 
 trict of Kentucky, removed to Frankfort; thence to Owensboro, 
 and lastly to Lexington. In 1806 he distinguished himself by his 
 spirited prosecution of Aaron Burr, for treason. In 1811, he ac¬ 
 companied Gen. Harrison in his expedition to the Wabash, and at 
 Tippecanoe fell, in a charge upon the Indians. Col. Daviess was of 
 tall and commanding person—a brilliant orator, and a profound 
 lawyer His death spread a cloud of gloom over Kentucky. He 
 was greatly beloved, and was regarded as the most promising young 
 man of the West. 
 
 Aunt Nancy, I remember, ivhen, in my childhood, she visited 
 her friends in Mason. She was cross-eyed, but intelligent and 
 spirited. Her patrimonial estate was on the lower Ohio, and she 
 found society chiefly in Louisville. She married as her second 
 husband, William Pollard. He lived but a short time. Late in 
 life she married a Mr. Cox, and after a few unhappy months expe¬ 
 rience, was divorced. She was a member of the Christian (Disci¬ 
 ples) church. She had no children.

 (84) JANE MAKSHALL. 
 
 80 James Marshall, son of John Marshall, lived in Boon Co., 
 Ky., and some of his posterity still reside there. He was a 
 tall, raw-boned, plain and ugly man, and his descendants, on account 
 of their black hair and eyes, were called the Black Marshalls. One 
 of his daughters had a legacy from her aunt Jane Marshall. (84.) 
 
 gg John Marshall removed to Missouri, and his posterity is 
 unknown to the rest of the family. In 1844, I attended the 
 great Whig Convention at Lexington, Mo., and an old man was 
 introduced on the stand, as a brother of Humphrey Marshall, the 
 Kentucky Senator. I then felt no interest in him, and have never 
 since heard of him. 
 
 84 Jane Marshall, a maiden sister of Senator Humphrey 
 Marshall, lived and died in Paris, Ky., and is well remem¬ 
 ber by old people there. Her will is perhaps the best record, extant, 
 of her life. It was probated September 5, 1836. She gives to: 
 
 1. Jane Catlett, a lot in East Maysville and a negro. 
 
 2. Frances M. Wall, her niece, several negroes for life, and 
 remainder to her children, if any; and if none, to revert, and go to 
 Jane Marshall, her brother James’ daughter, to Jane Whittington* 
 daughter of Thomas and Mary Whittington, to Anna Maria and 
 Catherine Morrison, her nieces. No. 1030, 1032. 
 
 3. Samuel G. Wall, her “ dear little nephew,” a negro, &c. 
 
 4. George W. Wall, her “little nephew,” a bed for the benefit 
 of his mother for life, and then to go to him. 
 
 5. Anna Marshall, daughter of Judge Marshall, a negro, &c. 
 No. 1020. 
 
 6. I bequeath $50 to my sister January, &c. She authorizes a 
 slave Robert to buy himself, and the proceeds to go to Matilda E. 
 January, daughter of Peter and Isabella January. She gives to 
 Anu Breeden certain notes. 
 
 The will is witnessed by Jos. Stephens, D. R. Williams, and 
 Thos. A. Marshall. Geo. W. Wall appears to have administrated, 
 and in settlement, November 5, 1837, shows assets $223.64, from 
 which he paid to John M. Breeden, husband and administrator of

 86 Nancy Marshall was a daughter of John Marshall. She 
 seems to have died in Paris, Ky., about 1860. She left no 
 will, but her administrator, Geo. W. Williams, made settlement of 
 her estate in 1862, which I copy in full as the only record I have of 
 her heirs. She was never married:

 1827; both buried at Frankfort. Mr. Marshall came to Kentucky 
 prior to 1783, as his name appears on the list of purchasers of lots 
 in Lexington that year. He was a member of the convention at

 (88) HUMPHREY MARSHALL. 
 
 Danville, in 1787, preliminary to the formation of State constitu¬ 
 tion ; also a member of the Virginia convention that ratified the 
 U. S. constitution'; he represented Woodford County in the State leg¬ 
 islature in 1793, and Franklin County in 1807,1808,1809 and 1823; 
 was one of the first U. S. Senators from Kentucky, 1795-1801; 
 near Frankfort, he fought his celebrated duel with Henry Clay, in 
 which the latter received a slight flesh wound. In 1812, he pub¬ 
 lished the first history of Kentucky, in one octavo volume of 407 
 pages. In 1824, he revised the work, and published it in two vol¬ 
 umes, 502 and 524 pages. It is able and interesting, but prejudice 
 and partizanship appear on every page. He was an overweening 
 Federalist, and wrote more as a politician than as an impartial his¬ 
 torian. 
 
 Senator Humphrey Marshall was violent, profane and irrelig¬ 
 ious. He had but little respect for God or man. But his wife was 
 an ardent Episcopalian and a lovely Christian lady. She was called 
 the Hannah More of the family, and her memory is cherished as much 
 by her collateral kindred as by her descendants. Col. Green thus 
 notices the Senator: 
 
 “ Mr. Marshall took an active part in frustrating the Spanish con¬ 
 spiracy and that of Aaron Burr; was one of the first Senators in 
 Congress from this State, and was many times in both branches of 
 the legislature; he was hated more than any other man of his day 
 by the early Republicans of the State, and he never failed to carry 
 with him the people when he chose to seek their suffrages; — a Cap¬ 
 tain in the Revolutionary army; an emigrant to Kentucky in 1780; 
 bitterly prejudiced, and sometimes, though not often, unjust; six 
 feet two inches in height, a grand-looking, eagle-eyed old man, and 
 as fearless a man as ever breathed. Gov. Charles Scott at one time 
 offered a free pardon to any one who would kill the old Federalist, 
 and a young man to whom Humphrey Marshall had given some of¬ 
 fense, embraced the occasion of a visit to Lexington, to win the 
 eternal gratitude of the Republicans, by doing so. A large crowd 
 was in the town to see the job well done, and, among others, was 
 Gov. Scott himself. After concluding the business which had 
 brought him, Marshall mounted his horse and rode leisurely off, the 
 young sprig galloping after him. Presenting his pistol, he told 
 Marshall he had come to kill him. “ Well,” Said the old man very 
 coolly, “but you have not come to assassinate me, have you.”

 “ No,” replied the young buck, “here is another for you.” Mar¬ 
 shall took the offered weapon, and, with a quick blow, knocked the 
 other out of his antagonist’s hand, saying: “Now, d—m you, 
 march and with that, made him ride back before him, in the 
 presence of the crowd assembled. Scott roared “ I have never seen 
 such a defeat since the battle of Monmouth, (where Tarleton had 
 flaxed him).”

 Mary Marshall, daughter of John Marshall, = Thomas 
 Whittington and probably lived in Woodford Co., Ky. 
 
 92 Elizabeth Marshall, daughter of John Marshall, = Sam¬ 
 uel January, and lived many years in East Maysville, Ivy., 
 in the house now occupied by Col. Stanton. Mr. January was in¬ 
 terred in the private burying ground near his house. I examined 
 the lot in 1884, and could find no stone to the memory of any of 
 the family. When a child, I remember visiting the family with my 
 mother. After the death of Mr. January, his widow removed to 
 Cynthianna, which became the home of his posterity. 
 
 94 George Marshall, b. in Henry Co., Ky., = O. Vardeman. 
 
 He was a farmer and a man of intelligence. He resided 
 near Eminence, Henry Co., Ivy. See Gen. Doniphan’s notice of 
 him. No. 102. 
 
 Lewis Marshall removed in early life to Alabama, and I 
 have learned nothing further of him. 
 
 98 William Marshall, b. in Henry Co., Ky.: = Rebecca 
 Johnson, a relative of Col. Richard M. Johnson, Vice-Presi¬ 
 dent of the United States His father, Rev. William Marshall, 
 about 1806, deeded him valuable lands, which were lost to him and 
 his children by adverse titles.

 (102) MARTIN MARSHALL. 
 
 102 (®) Martin Marshall of Augusta, b. in Fauquier Co., 
 
 Va., September 11, 1777, d. in Augusta, Ky., September 19, 
 1853; = in Bracken Co., Ky., March 16, 1803, Matilda Talia¬ 
 ferro, b. in Virginia, September 30, 1787; d. in Augusta, Ky., 
 March 1, 1843. Martin Marshall was a distinguished lawyer and 
 the only one of the family of Rev. William Marshall that associated 
 with the descendants of Col. Thomas Marshall. He represented 
 Bracken County in the Kentucky Legislature 1805 and 1806. In 
 1829 and 1830, while attending Augusta College, I became familiar 
 with his children. Gen. A. W. Doniphan, now of Richmond, Mo., 
 studied law with him, and thus writes of his old preceptor: 
 
 “I regret that knowledge of one I admired and venerated more 
 than any man I ever knew, should be so meagre. Pardon what I feel 
 constrained to offer, as one of the principal reasons why I never learned 
 more of him and his ancestors. The Marshalls generally, indeed, uni¬ 
 versally, were proud of their family. It would have been unnatural 
 not to have been so;-—indeed it was a theme of conversation with 
 many of them. But Mr. Marshall, on the contrary, rarely spoke of 
 himself or his family, during the two years I was reading in his office. 
 I cannot recall a single word he said touching either. He was reticent 
 and dignified; and at the same time he was courteous to others and of 
 gentle manners.” 
 
 (6) The following passage from a latter of Mrs. M. T. Soward, 
 dated Augusta, Ivy., July 17, 1885, will give information on the 
 Taliaferro pedegree: 
 
 “ 1 have a copy of the family bible, kept by my grandfather, 
 Nicholas Taliaferro. He married Ann Taliaferro, daughter of Col. John 
 Taliaferro, and Ann Taliaferro, his cousin. His father, William Talia¬ 
 ferro, married Mary Battaille, daughter of Capt. Nicholas and Mary 
 Battaille, of Caroline Co., Va. His grandmother’s maiden name was 
 Thornton. My grandfather’s father married a second time a daughter 
 of Francis Taliaferro. All of them lived in Virginia. My grandfather 
 was a Revolutionary officer, and served throughout the entire war. He 
 moved from Culpeper Co., Va., to Kentucky, in 1797, with his wife 
 and five children, and settled in Bracken Co. Uncle Martin Marshall 
 married his second daughter, Matilda Battaille Taliaferro. I also find 
 in the record the names of Col. John Thornton and Reubin Thornton, 
 — but their relationship is not shown. We have never known of any 
 relationship to the Washingtons and the Gregorys. 
 
 (c) Uncle Martin Marshall wrote in the clerks office, and studied 
 law with Capt. Thomas Marshall (56), in Washington, Ky., and married 
 my aunt whilst there, and remained until he removed to Augusta. He 
 named a daughter, Francis Kennau, after Mrs. Thomas Marshall. They 
 named another child Thornton Francis Louis Marshall, for Mrs. Thos. 
 Marshall and his brother, Dr. Louis Marshall.

 116 (a) Mrs. William Green was born in Virginia in 1769. 
 
 She was the only child of Markham Marshall, of whom there 
 is any knowledge in the family. Her Christian name has not come 
 down to us. Gen. Duff. Green, in his volume entitled “ Facts and 
 Suggestions,” thus notices the family :

 (116) MRS. WILLIAM GREEN. 
 
 “My parental grandfather left seven sons: 1, William Green; 2, 
 Robert; 3, Duff; 4, John; 5, Nicholas; 6, James, and 7, Moses. 
 
 (6) “My grandfather, with his cousin, Sir William Duff, and a 
 Mr. Hite, were, as I have frequently heard my father say, joint 
 owners of large tracts of choice land, some situated on James river, 
 and others in the valley of the Shenandoah. My grandfather, Duff 
 Green, married first, a Miss Barbour, who died leaving a son and 
 daughter, — John and Elizabeth. He then married a sister of Col. 
 Lewis Willis, of Fredericksburg. She was a cousin of Gen. Wash¬ 
 ington, and nearly related to the Lewises, Henrys and Lees, of 
 Virginia. My grandfather died before the Revolution. My grand¬ 
 mother had three sons, Willis, Henry and William, and one daugh¬ 
 ter, Eleanor. My father, William, the youngest son, was a volun¬ 
 teer in the army of the Revolution, and when fifteen years of age, 
 was with Morgan in the battle of the Cowpens. 
 
 (c) “As the eldest son, John, was heir under the law of primo¬ 
 geniture, and took the greater part of the property. The three 
 younger sons, through the influence of friends and relatives of the 
 family, made contracts to locate land-warrants in Kentucky. Under 
 this arrangement Willis and Henry went to Kentucky soon after 
 the termination of the war, leaving my father in charge of mother 
 and sister. Willis was elected a delegate from Kentucky to the 
 Legislature of Virginia, and was appointed Register of the Land 
 Office. He then relinquished his interest in the land-warrants to 
 his brothers and sister. Henry having made his locations, returned 
 to Virginia, sickened and died. This made it necessary that mv 
 father should remove to Kentucky, taking his mother and sister 
 with him. My aunt soon thereafter married John Smith. 
 
 (d) “My maternal grandfather was Markham Marshall, who 
 married Ann Bailey. They resided on the Shenandoah, until my 
 mother, who was their second child, was about ten years of age. He 
 removed to Kentucky in the fall of 1779, and settled near Knob- 
 lick, in Lincoln County. My father after his marriage, resided in 
 Woodford County, until I, his eldest child, was about fourteen years 
 old, when he removed to a large tract of land on the Cumberland 
 river, in Wayne County. When I was about six years of age, I was 
 sent to a neighborhood school. Most of the scholars were the chil¬ 
 dren of my father’s tenants, or persons holding lands under an ad-

 verse title. Humphrey Marshall, my mother’s cousin, was my 
 father’s counsel, and Henry Clay opposed him. Mr Marshall had 
 married his cousin, the eldest sister of the Chief Justice, and she and 
 my mother were intimate friends. He had been Senator in Congress 
 from Kentucky, and voted for “Jay’s treaty,” which was bitterly 
 denounced by Mr. Clay and others. Mrs. Humphrey Marshall gave 
 me the use of books from her library, and, after my returning them, 
 examined me on what I had read. My parents were both of the 
 Baptist Church. My mother was my companion and friend. Her 
 intelligent comments on the lessons in history, which I read to 
 her, and upon the events of the war of the Revolution, and her de¬ 
 scription of frontier life, did much to form my character. She had 
 a happy faculty of illustrating her advice by anecdotes, &c.” See 
 Green chart, 180 h. 
 
 110 Thomas McClanahan, b. in Fauquier Co., Va., about 1758, 
 d. in Bourbon Co., Ky., 1809, — in Va., about 1780, Nancy 
 Green. In boyhood, Thomas was remarkable for strength and ac¬ 
 tivity. Many of his adventures are recorded by his kinsman, T. 
 Marshall Smith, in his volume of “Legends.” Fifty pages of the 
 book are devoted to the courtship, marriage and achievements of 
 Thomas McClanahan. After displaying his physical prowess in un¬ 
 numbered fights, the boy-hero entered the regiment of his uncle, Col. 
 Thomas Marshall, and proved himself a daring and chivalrous soldier. 
 About the end of the war, he fell in love with Miss Nancy Green, 
 but found a bitter enemy in her brother, Col. Robt. Green, of Rev¬ 
 olutionary fame. But in spite of all opposition, they marry, and 
 after a short time are reconciled with Col. Green. They settle on 
 New river, near Abington, Va.; in 1782 remove to Kentucky, and 
 settle near Boon’s Station; he becomes a hardy woodsman ; has many 
 perilous adventures with the Indians; follows them to Ohio and In¬ 
 diana, and becomes noted for his heroic exploits. Mr. Smith, in his 
 “ Legends,” records many acts of daring, all of which are crowned 
 with success. Though generous and chivalrous, yet his fighting pro¬ 
 pensities gave him the character of a desperado. He settled in 
 Bourbon Co., Ky., and was elected to the Legislature in 1793. 
 
 Thomas McClanahan’s will is recorded in Bourbon Co., Ky., 
 Will Book, C, p. 476. It is dated May 4, 1807, probated at the

 in Richmond; studied law with his relative, William Marshall; 
 settled in Warrenton, and engaged in the practice of law until 1808, 
 when he was appointed clerk of Fauquier County, and remained 
 in office until his death in 1832. His first wife was a daughter of 
 Capt. John Hawkins, Adjutant of Col. Thos. Marshall’s Third Vir¬ 
 ginia Regiment. He was descended from Ralph Hawkins, who 
 settled in Charles Co., Md., about 1650. On the female side she 
 came from the Lees of Maryland. 
 
 144 Thomas Marshall Smith, b. in Logan Co., Kv., or per¬ 
 haps in Virginia, before his parents came, to Kentucky,— 
 d. in Louisville, Ivy., about 1859. He married twice, —the second 
 time to Mrs. Emmit, mother of Guy N. Emmet, Secretary and 
 Treasurer of the American Aid Society of Louisville, Ivy. He 
 preached and practiced law by turns. We first find him at Frank-

 lin, Simpson Co., Ivy. In 1838, — then old and gray, — lie removed 
 to Russellville, Ivy.,—-he next appears at Louisville, and here he 
 died. In 1855 J. F. Branan, of Louisville, published for him 
 a volume entitled, “Legends of the War of Independence and 
 the early Settlements of the West,” by T. Marshall Smith. The 
 remainder of his life was devoted to the recommendation and sale 
 of this book to every household he entered. He was a fluent 
 writer, but every page of his book proves his mind unhinged. His- 
 chief purpose was to prove that tedious details would make the 
 most common-place topic interesting. His hatred of Calvinism 
 was intense, and he buried it under mountains of denunciation. 
 The Witness of the Spirit was the cardinal doctrine of his religion. 
 He was connected with the Methodist church, and, though intensely 
 sectai’ian in his views, gave poor satisfaction to his members; and, 
 in the practice of law, he gave less satisfaction to his clients. He 
 was a ready talker, but was generally regarded as flighty. 
 
 (a) Thomas Marshall was b. in Richmond, Va., July 21, 
 
 1784; d. in Baltimore, June 29,1835; = October 19,1809, 
 Margaret W. Lewis, b. 1792, at Weyanoke, Charles City Co., Ya. ; 
 d. at “Oakhill,” Fauquier Co., Va., February 2, 1829. From an 
 early age, Mr. Marshall manifested uncommon talent. The follow¬ 
 ing ode on the death of Washington, was written in his boyhood, 
 and is preserved in the family : 
 
 The brave, illustrous Washington is gone ! 
 
 Henceforth, Virginia, mourn your noble son, 
 
 The voice of death has called a deathless name 
 To shine immortal on the roll of fame. 
 
 His manly virtues and his heart, sincere, 
 
 Demand the priceless tribute of a tear. 
 
 Who now, when Avar shall desolate the land, 
 
 Remains to save us from a tyrant’s band ? 
 
 And where’s the man like him, both wise and brave, 
 
 His country from despotic rule to save! 
 
 His dazzling merit and superior parts, 
 
 In spite of faction and her envious arts, 
 
 Unrivalled shine, his great and honored name, 
 
 Borne on the wings of everlasting fame, 
 
 Until remotest ages, shall be known; 
 
 And man forever will his loss bemoan.

 ( b ) Mr. Marshall completed his literary education at Prince¬ 
 ton College, graduating with the degree of A. M., at the age of 
 nineteen. After studying law, he engaged in its practice at Rich¬ 
 mond. He married in 1809 Miss Margaret W. Lewis, of Wey- 
 anoke, who had just completed her education at Williamsburg. 
 She was beautiful in person and lovely in disposition, and made a 
 happy home for her husband and children. Mr. Marshall’s health 
 failed, arid he retired to “Oakhill.” The remainder of his days 
 were spent in farming. He found the soil of his ancestral estate 
 exhausted, and its improvements out of repair. But by judicious 
 management and the introduction of marl as a fertilizer, he changed 
 the sterile farm into a garden. He became a zealous member of the 
 Episcopal church, and nearly all his posterity have followed him in 
 religious sentiment. At “ Oakhill ” his children were born, and 
 until the war scattered and impoverished them, they formed a 
 happy community. His living descendants, counting wives and 
 husbands, are now 137. Mr. Marshall was a man of literary taste 
 and culture. He was a connoisseur in art, — fond of music and 
 painting, and an interested observer of the progress of science and 
 civilization. He was a member of the Virginia Constitutional Con¬ 
 vention of 1829, over which his father presided. He was no aspi¬ 
 rant for honor or office, but found his delight in the quiet seclusion 
 of home, in the entertainment of choice friends, and the education 
 of his children. Bishop Meade, Vol. 2, p. 220, thus kindly notices 
 him : 
 
 (c) Mr. Thomas Marshall, eldest son of the Chief Justice, lived at 
 the old homestead of the Marshalls, “ Oakhill,” on the ryadto Warrens- 
 burg and Fredericksburg. He was one of my earliest and dearest 
 friends. He became a communicant at an early day. He often begged 
 that, in my efforts for the promotion of religion which required pecu¬ 
 niary aid, I would consider him as ready to afford it. Mr. Thomas 
 Ambler, a nephew of Judge Marshall’s, and an old schoolmate of my 
 early years,lived in the same‘neighborhood. Cool-Spring meeting 
 house lay between them. The Marshalls and Amblers continued to set¬ 
 tle in this neighborhood, until they have become two small congrega¬ 
 tions, or rather important parts of two congregations. The children of 
 my esteemed friend, Thomas Marshall, six in number, settled in sight 
 of each other, on the estate of their father, and are all living (1857). 
 
 (d) Iu June, 1835, Mr. Marshall was summoned to the bed of 
 his dying father, at Philadelphia. On his way at Baltimore, in 
 company with his relative, the late Dr. John Hanson Thomas, (610) 
 a storm compelled them to take shelter under the scaffolding of the

 court house, -which was undergoing repair. While there, the house 
 was struck by lightning, and a dislodged brick fell, striking and 
 fracturing Mr. Marshall’s skull. He never regained consciousness, 
 though he lived a week. 
 
 Mr. Marshall’s wife preceeded him to the grave, and her epitaph, 
 written by her husband, is a touching tribute to her virtues: 
 
 (e) Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Margaret Marshall, consort of 
 Thomas Marshall of “ Oakhill.” She died February 2,1829, in the 37th 
 year of her age. Admired without envy; beloved without hypocricy; 
 candid, kind and considerate; every look and every word denoted 
 equal dignity and sweetness; earnest yet exempt from selfishness, her 
 sympathy, generosity, sacrifice of ease, health and comfort, were not 
 often equalled. An humble follower of the Blessed Jesus, she made 
 His word the rule of her life On earth, and trusted to his blood as her 
 passport to the life above. 
 
 In vain would language labor to impart 
 The deep-felt anguish of her husbands heart, 
 
 That heart which owned no bliss while she was here, 
 
 But her loved smile or sympathizing tear. 
 
 Oh gracious Father look with pitying eye, 
 
 Forgive the error of idolatry. 
 
 With humble lips I kiss thv chastening rod, 
 
 And own Thee Sovereign, Father, God. 
 
 By her side lies her affectionate husband, and his slab bears the 
 following inscription: 
 
 Reared to the memory of Thomas Marshall, Esq., who died in 
 Baltimore, on the 29th of June, 1835, in the 51st year of his age, while 
 on his way to see his venerable father, then ill in Philadelphia. He has 
 left seven motherless children to mourn his untimely end. In him 
 were united all the virtues which rendered him eminent in the dis¬ 
 charge of every duty. By this stroke of death, has fallen the ripe 
 scholar, the devoted patriot, the liberal philanthropist, and the humble 
 servant of God. In the atonement of the Blessed Savior, he placed 
 his whole hope of happiness beyond the grave. Blessed are the dead 
 who die in the Lord. Born July 21, 1784. 
 
 (/) On the opposite side of Mrs. Marshall, lies her mother. 
 Her slab bears the following inscription; 
 
 Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Agnes Lewis, consort of Fielding 
 Lewis, Esq., of Wevanoke, who departed this life on the 11th of August, 
 1822, aged 53 years. She died surrounded by her family. In their 
 hearts, her memory is embalmed, and in the hearts of all who knew 
 her, will be cherished; for to all she manifested a kindness so touching, 
 and a disinterestedness so noble, that the recollection can never be 
 effaced. 
 
 There are perhaps a dozen other graves at Oakhill Cemetery,

 medicine, theology and general literature. He did not practice as a 
 physician, but was often consulted in uncommon diseases. His life 
 was spent at “ Prospect Hill,” his residence, ten miles south of Mark¬ 
 ham, in Fauquier Co. His attainments in every department of 
 knowledge were put to no use. With little ambition, he was satis¬ 
 fied to superintend his farm and to entertain his select friends. He 
 and his wife were buried at Leeds’ Church. Their epitaphs are as 
 follows: 
 
 ( b ) Sacred to the memory of Jacquelix A. Marshall, who 
 was born on the 3d day of December, 1787, and died on the 7th day 
 of July, 1852, in the 65th year of his age. Blessed are the dead

 Gen. Jacquet.tn Bur-well Haryie, b. in Richmond, Va., October 
 9, 1788. Mrs Harvie was the Chief Justice’s only daughter, and 
 was more intimately associated with him than any other of his chil¬ 
 dren. She lived within a stone’s throw of his dwelling, and enjoyed 
 his society almost daily. In mind and person she is said to have re¬ 
 sembled him. She inherited his virtues, and was both admired and 
 beloved. 
 
 Gen. Harvie was prepared for the navy, and was serving as a 
 midshipman, when the terrible tragedy of the burning of the Rich¬ 
 mond theatre occurred. On that occasion, he lost a brother, a sister 
 and a niece. The condition of his mother required him to resign, 
 that he might assist in the management of the estate. During his 
 life he filled many places of honor and trust; was for many years a 
 State Senator, and at the time of his death was Major-General of 
 Militia for the Eastern District of Virginia. He was full of enter¬ 
 prise, and the Richmond Dock and Water Works, and Belle-Isle 
 Nail Factory still attest his public spirit. His father was Col. John

 intimate friend of Washington, and advanced large sums of money 
 to the struggling government. In return he received lands in Vir¬

 a boon companion, of fine address and exceedingly popular manners; 
 was several times elected to the State Legislature; spent his married 
 life at “ Mt. Blanc,” a large farm five miles southeast of Markham, 
 in Fauquier Co., Va. He managed well, but his social temperament 
 often led him into excess. Mrs. Marshall was a daughter of Dr. 
 Ashton Alexander and Catherine Hanson Thomas, of Baltimore.

 Mr. Marshall was a graduate of Harvard College, but led the life of 
 a farmer and country gentleman, at “Leeds,” situated six miles 
 south of Markham. He was highly esteemed for his literary attain¬ 
 ments and social virtues. A gentleman of fine address and genial 
 manners, he possessed the graces of both heart and mind that called 
 for veneration as well as love. He was several times elected to the 
 State Senate, and the civil war found him in office. He was one of 
 those Senators who ineffectually opposed the ordinance of secession, 
 but who, when the deed was accomplished, gave their cordial adhe¬ 
 sion to the Confederacy. He was charitable to the poor, social, hos¬ 
 pitable and generous, both in sentiment and action. After going 
 to Richmond to aid in the organization of the new government, he

 returned and died early in the war. His revered wife survived him 
 twenty-one years, and now lies beside her husband, in “ Leeds ” 
 church yard. When I visited her grave, in August, 1884, I found 
 on the green sod a fresh wreath of flowers. Before her death she 
 became both blind and deaf. Her memory is cherished by her pos¬ 
 terity. No stone has yet been erected to her memory, but the epi¬ 
 taphs of her husband and aunt are as follows:

 b. December 19, 1810, living. Mr. Marshall graduated at Harvard 
 College in 1826, married in 1829, settled at Carrington, in Fauquier 
 Co., Va., and engaged in Agriculture; for four successive terms, 
 from 1834 to 1838, was the representative from Fauquier County 
 to the Virginia Legislature. In 1850, Mr. Marshall removed to 
 Markham, and subsequently to “ Innis,” a mile north of Markham. 
 In 1836, an injury to one of his ankles confined him to his couch 
 for several years; by a fall from his horse, the injured limb was bro¬ 
 ken, and a second fall made him almost helpless for thirteen years; 
 yet with crutch, staff or an iron frame made for his support, he man¬ 
 aged to get about. In 1832, he united with the Episcopal Church, 
 at Alexandria, and became an ardent member and a zealous laborer 
 in every good cause, for fifty years. He attended Sabbath School 
 regularly, often traveling six miles that he might give his personal

 superintendence to his school. His public spirit and generous na¬ 
 ture were not restrained by his crippled limb and uncertain health. 
 The Manassas-Gap R. R. owes its existence to his energy and influ¬ 
 ence. With untiring zeal he pressed the measure on the Legislature, 
 and, accepting the presidency of the company, he made the road a 
 success. Too old to give his personal aid to the South, his sympa¬ 
 thies were with his people. But fire, war and Confederate money 
 impoverished him, and as a personal compliment, he was granted a 
 place in the Pension office, by which he earned a support. This fa¬ 
 vor was granted during the administrations of Grant and Hayes, 
 with a distinct understanding that his political sentiments should 
 thereby be untrammelled. While performing his clerical duties at 
 Washington, he often found time to visit his family at “ Innis.” 
 
 (b) Mr. Marshall was fond of the classics, and delighted to 
 quote from ancient authors. His profound scholarship, his literary 
 acquirements and cordial manners made him a welcome companion 
 in the most learned circles of society. He was fond of the game of 
 chess, and enjoyed conversation on scientific, literary and religious 
 topics. He was cheerful, hopeful and cordial, and was regarded as 
 a model of the old Virginia gentleman. When not otherwise en¬ 
 gaged, he found employment for his active mind in assisting his rela¬ 
 tive, Dr. Jacq. Ambler, in the labors of his school at “Clifton.” 
 
 Cousin Rebecca C. Marshall still lives to gladden the hearts of 
 her numerous posterity. She possesses the vivacity and sprightli¬ 
 ness of youth. In 1884 I found her living at “Innis,” with her 
 daughter Courtenay (590), taking an active interest in the happi¬ 
 ness of the family and guests, and in performing a share of the 
 household duties. My daughter and I shall never forget her kind 
 attentions and generous hospitality. 
 
 THE CARRINGTONS. 
 
 (c) George Carrington, son of Paul Carrington, came from the 
 Barbadoes, about the year 1727, and settled at the falls of James 
 River. About 1732, in his 21st year, he married Anne, the daugh¬ 
 ter of William Mayo, then in her 20th year. Both died in Febru¬ 
 ary, 1785. They settled in Cumberland County, and had eleven 
 children, of whom Edward Carrington was the eighth. He was a 
 gallant officer in the Revolution. He was born February 11, 1748, 
 and died October 28, 1810. He married Elizabeth Jacquelin Am-

 bier, sister of Mr. Marshall’s mother, (See Ambler chart, No. 50). 
 He was, therefore, by marriage, the uncle of Mr. Marshall, and he 
 was named for him. As to the progenitors of Mrs. Marshall, see the 
 Lewis chart (150). Her parents were Mary C. Lewis and John 
 Peyton. She was an only child. After her father’s death, her 
 mother married Thomas Nelson. She lies in Leeds church-yard, 
 and on her beautiful monument we read:

 1853. In the way of righteousness there is life, and in the pathway

 August 28, 1794, d. at Honeywood, childless, March, 1815, = 2d, 
 May 2, 1825, Sarah Jane Brockenbrough, b. 1805, yet living 
 with her sons at Martinsburg, W. Va. At the time of Edward’s 
 birth, Rawleigh Colston w T as living at “Hill and Dale,” near Win¬ 
 chester, Va. In 1801 the family removed to “Honeywood,” in 
 Berkely County, and built a fine mansion overlooking the Potomac 
 river. Here Edward was raised in the midst of affluence, with one 
 of the noblest of women for a mother. At Honeywood Edward 
 lived and died. Having graduated with honor at Princeton College 
 in 1806, he prepared himself for business and usefulness, by studying 
 law. He was a Federalist by birth, education and conviction, and 
 as such, was elected, in 1821, to the Virginia House of Delegates, 
 and in 1817 was elected to Congress. There he found among his 
 comrades, Henry Clay, W. H. Harrison, Henry Baldwin, John 
 Floyd, R. M. Johnson, Geo. Tucker, and other honored names; yet 
 Mr. Colston was able to take an active and highly influential part 
 in the debates on the important questions before them. Upon the 
 expiration of his term in Congress, Mr. Colston found it necessary 
 to give his personal attention and counsel to his aged mother; and, 
 as her agent, took charge of large estates situated in Virginia and 
 Kentucky. But in 1826 and 1827, 1833 and 1834 he was again in 
 the House of Delegates. While iu Richmond, he was married to 
 Miss Sarah Jane Brockenbrough, who is the mother of all his

 children. Mr. Colston was a magistrate for many years, and in 
 1845, was High Sheriff of Berkely County. Though a Federalist,, 
 he entered the army in 1812, and, as a Lieutenant, did service in 
 Norfolk, and other exposed points. He was an ardent Episco¬ 
 palian, and often, as a delegate, attended the Conventions of the 
 Church. His legal acquirements and business qualifications made 
 his counsel and service valuable to the Church. At home he was 
 the counsellor of his neighbors, and often had occasion to render 
 assistance to the poor and defenseless people around him. His 
 death was sudden and painless. While examining some books for 
 his children, he fell lifeless. His will gives his estate, which was 
 large, to his widow. His brother-in-law, Willoughby Newton, and 
 Hon. Chas. J. Faulconer were appointed his executors. But fire 
 and the reverses of war have taken “ Honeywood ” from the family; 
 the hands of Vandals appropriated their valuable library, and the 
 widow has a bare competency. Mr. Colston was a noble specimen 
 of the enlightened country gentleman. His manner was courteous 
 and dignified; his conversation interesting and instructive; his 
 hospitality large and free; and in scholarship he had few superiors. 
 He had a noble inheritance and his charities were boundless. 
 
 ( b ) I have many letters from cousin Jane Colston. Though 
 eighty winters have furrowed her brow, yet her mind and her pen 
 are vigorous and cordial. She came of a noble race, and belongs 
 to a generation of pure, pious and patriotic matrons, that will soon 
 be extinct.

 educated at St. John’s College, Annapolis, Md., and read law in the 
 office of the learned Robert Goodloe Harper, of Baltimore. But his 
 inclination was not in the direction of law, but rather to belles let- 
 tres, history, philosophy and politics. His mind was discriminating 
 and reflective, and his excellent education and extensive reading 
 prepared him for political life. Modest and unassuming, he did not 
 seek the paths of ambition; but at the earnest solicitation of friends 
 he entered on his short but brilliant career. In 1812-14, he was a 
 member of the State Legislature, and was at once acknowledged as 
 a leading statesman, orator and patriot. His course upon the em¬ 
 bargo, and the able State papers prepared by him, attest the clear¬ 
 ness, precision and strength of his mind. But Mr. Thomas was also 
 an intelligent and faithful Christian. Brilliant as were the scenes 
 through which he passed, and fresh as were the laurels he wore, he 
 never appeared so transcendantly great as at the death bed of his 
 venerable father. The dying man having expressed a desire for the 
 offices of a clergyman, and in fear of his failure to arrive in time, 
 the affectionate son fell on his knees, and with fervor poured forth 
 a stream of comfort and supplication that was cheering to the pa¬ 
 rent. But the excitement, anxiety and exposure of that sad occa¬ 
 sion were, perhaps, the cause of his own death. Exactly a week 
 after his father’s death, he himself fell asleep.

 After graduating at Yale College, Dr. Colston spent two years with 
 his uncle, Dr. Louis Marshall, at “Buckpond,” Ky. He then grad¬ 
 uated in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Still further 
 to perfect himself in medicine and surgery, he visited Europe, and 
 after spending sometime in Scotland, he proceeded to the continent. 
 In Paris, he was the guest of Lafayette and the American Consul. 
 But the young physician was taken sick and his life despaired of. 
 In a state of delirium he spoke in the English language. Some one 
 was sought to interpret his ravings. In the same hotel the Duchess 
 of Valmey was boarding. She was the divorced wife of Gen. Ivel- 
 lermann, who had inherited the title of Due de Valmey, conferred 
 on his father by the first Napoleon for gallantry on the battle field 
 of Valmey. She was the daughter of an Italian nobleman, and 
 possessed beauty, accomplishments and wealth. She was able to 
 speak the English language, and cheered the sufferer by her sympa¬ 
 thy and attention. She removed him to her own apartment, called 
 her servants to her aid, and, by her affectionate care and generous 
 solicitude, won the handsome and accomplished youth back to health. 
 But in the contest she lost her own heart. She fell deeply in love 
 with the agreeable and talented stranger. When he prepared to re¬ 
 turn to America, her tears and entreaties held him in Paris. Her 
 age was the only obstacle to marriage. But love soon removed this 
 objection, and they were married. Still his heart yearned for his 
 Western home. But being of a kind, gentle and submissive nature, 
 her strong will held him in Paris.

 (170) DR. RALEIGH COLSTON. 
 
 (6) In 1824, young John M. Colston, on account of declining 
 health, was sent over to France to his brother, Dr. Colston. When 
 somewhat improved, they took ship in 1825, for America; but were 
 becalmed at sea, and the delicate youth could not live on the salt 
 provisions to which he was reduced. He died, and was buried at 
 sea (174). Dr. Colston remained in America eleven months. 
 
 (c) The Duchess was sorely distressed that by reason of age she 
 could not bear children for her beloved husband. On one occasion, 
 when he had been long from home, with the assistance of a physi¬ 
 cian in her confidence and pay, she palmed off upon him as her own 
 a boy child, who was reared to manhood as a legitimate son. He 
 received a finished education, and was universally received and 
 honored as the son of Dr. Colston. Like Moses, he was nursed by 
 his own mother, and the boy and his father believed that the poor 
 couple who often visited the mansion, regarded themselves as only 
 the foster parents of the boy. At his baptism he was named Raleigh 
 Edward Colston. He came to Virginia and was educated at Wash¬ 
 ington College. He married the sister of the wife of Judge Brock- 
 enbrough. He discovered the secret himself, but revealed it to no 
 one. But in her last illness, the Duchess was conscience stricken, 
 and sent for a minister, a notary, and the real parents of the boy; 
 and, in the presence of Mr. Colston the imposition was confessed by 
 all the guilty parties. The parents, who were of the name of Bou¬ 
 cher, produced the evidence that their son, Victor, was born in an 
 almshouse in 1825. Mr. Colston was greatly incensed, and never 
 afterward would recognize the youth as a son. But he became the 
 distinguished Gen. Colston, of the Confederate army, and has borne 
 himself in a way that would have done credit to any name. He has 
 shown abilities of no ordinary character, and in civil life has dis¬ 
 played honor, capacity and integrity. He is in Washington, in the 
 office of the Surgeon-General, where he has proved himself a useful 
 assistant. He lives honorably, and speaks but little of his romantic 
 career. A year or two after the death of his first wife, Dr. Colston 
 visited Lpndon, with a purpose of offering himself as a missionary 
 to Africa. Here he met Marie Sophie Olympie LYanie de Grand 
 Fonlepaisse, a daughter of an officer of the French army and a no¬ 
 bleman from Dauphine, France. She was in financial distress. His 
 sympathies were enlisted, and he offered assistance. Shortly after¬ 
 ward he married her. After staying in England and Scotland for

 four years, they came to America. He had inherited 14,000 acres 
 of land. It yielded him but little income, because of faithless agents 
 and want of tact on his own part. During the first years of the 
 war, the family stayed in Georgia. In 1863 they returned to Staun¬ 
 ton. In want of means of support, Mrs. Colston went to Philadel¬ 
 phia, and engaged in teaching French. The Doctor was not willing 
 to go North, and remained in Staunton. His land was sold for Con¬ 
 federate money, and treacherous friends robbed him of his estate. 
 But he found others more kind, who ministered to all his wants. At 
 Winchester he found a home and sympathetic friends at the house 
 of Mrs. Ward. In 1881 he was boarding in New York City, and 
 became alarmed by a cry of “fire.” His landlady told him to be 
 quiet and lie down, that she would inquire into the matter. On her 
 return lie was dead. 
 
 (d) Dr. Colston was a surgeon of skill and learning. He was 
 a kind and sympathizing friend, a sincere Christian and a refined 
 and cultivated gentleman. He was much beloved, and his strange 
 and affecting story engendered tenderness wherever it was told. His 
 confidence was often misplaced, and this, with his want of business 
 capacity, was his ruin. 
 
 Mrs. Colston is teaching French in Washington City. I have 
 never heard an adequate reason for her desertion of her husband. 
 She has two daughters, one of whom is married. 
 
 w d. 1839. Her niece, Mrs. Conway Robinson, (614) says of 
 her: She was for years my fond and faithful guide and teacher — 
 taking the child of her dear sister ( herself) near to her heart. Her 
 memory is dear to me, but this I can say truly of each of my uncles 
 and aunts. 
 
 John Marshall Colston, b. at Honevwood, Berkeley Co., 
 
 W. Va., July 15, 1802; died at sea in 1825. By hard rid¬ 
 ing on horseback, he had produced some disease of the kidneys, and 
 for medical relief, was sent to his brother, Dr. Raleigh Colston, in 
 Paris. A cure was supposed to have been effected, and, in 1825,

 Dr. Colston started home in a sailing vessel. But on the home¬ 
 ward voyage, the ship was becalmed, and the passengers and crew 
 were reduced to the use of salt provisions. These produced a dis¬ 
 order that caused death in a few days, and his remains were com¬ 
 mitted to the sea. Though greatly beloved by his kindred, yet the 
 chief mourner was Miss Mary Ann Nicholson, of Baltimore, to whom 
 . he was engaged in marriage. She was remembered in his will, and 
 a large part of his fortune was left to her. She herself has joined 
 him in the circle of glorified saints. And it is said that even while 
 on earth, she was an angel.

 1819, in Virginia, Katherine Taylor, who died in Kentucky in 
 1820; = 2d, in Washington City, November 6, 1821, Julianna 
 Winchester Whetcroft, b. at Annapolis, Maryland, 1805, died 
 in Fleming Co., Ky., October, 1860. Mr. Marshall received the 
 best education the West, in his day, afforded, and he was prepared 
 for his future career by the study of law. His frame was large and 
 muscular, his eyes were black and piercing, his voice was loud and 
 commanding, and his courage quailed before neither man nor demon. 
 5 et withal, he was a true and generous friend, a skillful and suc¬ 
 cessful politician, an able statesman, a sincere patriot and a fearless 
 soldier. His temperament suited the times when the duel was the 
 arbiter of all disputes. April 19, 1812, Mr. Marshall fought his 
 celebrated duel with Chas. S. Mitchell, on the banks of the Ohio, 
 above Maysville. He challenged Mitchell for some insult offered 
 his father, Capt. Marshall. Mitchell was an expert with the pistol, 
 and at the first fire, shot Mr. Marshall in the hip. But the latter 
 was not satisfied, and wanted a second round. This was refused by 
 his friends. 
 
 Mr. Marshall received from his father a tract of three thousand 
 acres of land in Lewis C’o.. Ky., and here he lived from his marriage 
 until his death. He lorded over a large number of tenants. Though 
 overbearing and profane, he was liberal in his charities. His tenants 
 loved him in spite of his faults, and they found him a powerful pro¬ 
 tector. No one near him was permitted to suffer, if relief was in his 
 power. His irritability was increased by the occasional torture pro-

 duced by a broken ankle, caused by his fall from a horse. He was 
 a decided Democrat, and frequently a candidate for the Legislature. 
 He represented Lewis County for six terms, 1817,1828,1836,1839, 
 1842 and 1844. At one time he was Speaker of the House. When 
 the Mexican war broke out, President Polk appointed him Brigadier 
 General of volunteers, and he served from July 1, 1846, to July 20, 
 1848. He was with Gen. Taylor in the Buena Vista campaign, and 
 was with Gen. Scott in his invasion of Mexico. During the last six 
 months of the war, he was the Military Governor of Mexico. His 
 daughter, Mrs. Bland, (632) just before her death, wrote me her 
 version of her father’s life and death, from which I make some ex¬ 
 tracts : 
 
 (6) “My father went to the Mexican war when about 52 years of 
 age. I remember one instance of his promptness, which I will relate: 
 He had been ordered to guard a very dangerous pass between Monte¬ 
 rey and Buena Vista, and had labored twenty-four hours to throw up 
 immense breastworks, when, just at dark, he received a peremptory 
 order to hasten on to Buena Vista under cover of night and darkness, 
 with his heavy artillery. He called his officers together, and informed 
 them of the command he had received, and the necessity of immediate 
 relief to their endangered comrades. Each man hastily swallowed a 
 cup of coffee, and eagerly commenced his rugged march of thirty 
 miles. Frequently they would have to dismount, and push the heavy 
 guns up the mountains. The General himself assisted in this work. The 
 Mexicans had heard' that Gen. Marshall’s command consisted of six 
 thousand men, when, in truth, he had only one thousand. When he 
 reached the summit overlooking the bloody field of Buena Vista, he 
 announced to his men that it was either victory or death for them, and 
 he gave orders that the firs.t man that faltered should be shot down by 
 his comrades. The cannon were posted, and the cavalry charged down 
 on the enemy. The Mexicans supposing the Americans were rein¬ 
 forced by a large army, fled in confusion. On reaching the bloody bat¬ 
 tle ground, Gen. Marshall found no enemy. In his bitter disappoint¬ 
 ment he is said to have wept the only tears that ever moistened his 
 eyes. The battle of Buena Vista was gained by father’s stratagem and 
 by his prompt and heroic obedience. But of this he never had the 
 credit. He always complained of injustice from both Taylor and Scott.” 
 
 (c) Gen. Marshall always claimed to have been the “ Blucher ” 
 of Buena Vista, and often cursed his fate in having been placed be¬ 
 hind, where he could not share the glory of the victory he achieved 
 without striking a blow. Mrs. Bland thus details the circumstances 
 of Gen. Marshall’s death: 
 
 My father Avas murdered by a desperado named Tyler, of Mt. Car¬ 
 mel, Fleming Co., Ky. Tyler attempted to ingratiate father’s favor by 
 telling on the tenants. He bought a piece of land of father, and made 
 only one payment. He proved very troublesome, and father, trying to 
 get rid of him, got another tenant to buy Tyler out. Learning the facts 
 Tyler became exasperated, and threatened to kill father. With an ac-

 complice, Tyler attacked father on the highway one dark night, when 
 coming home. But this attempt at assassination failed. Tyler then 
 burned, as is believed, a new distillery of my father’s, containing several 
 thousand bushels of grain. Tyler told the neighbors that he intended 
 to insult Gen. Marshall, so that he might have a pretext to shoot him. 
 This he did, when Gen. Marshall was in his field measuring corn; but 
 my father struck and choked him. Tyler went off muttering revenge. 
 He procured a double-barrel shotgun, and went to a tenant’s, where 
 father was, and called for him. Father went to the door, and Tyler 
 asked “Are you ready?” My father answered “ Yes,” as he went down 
 the steps into the yard. Some one then offered him an empty rifle, say¬ 
 ing, “Take this, General; it will scare him.” My father remarked, 
 “Let’s have fair shooting, Tyler. Don’t get behind a tree. We have 
 cai-ried this thing far enough.” Just then Tyler fired both barrels into 
 father’s breast. Without speaking, he fell on his knees and died. Tyler 
 escaped to Ohio and died there. 
 
 ( d) Mrs. Marshall left her husband some years before his death, 
 and lived with her .daughter, Mrs. Fleming. She was a lovely wo¬ 
 man. Her soft, sweet temper, contrasted with the violent nature 
 of her husband. She was a daughter of William Whetcroft and 
 Anne Winchester, of Annapolis, Md. She had two sisters and a 
 brother: 1, Mary F. Whetcroft, = Samuel Chase, of New York ; 2, 
 Sarah Ann Whetcroft, = Judge Alfred Cavalry ; 3, William Whet¬ 
 croft, who died single. Gen. Marshall was buried at Washington, 
 Ky. His wife was interred at Maysville, Ky.

 Mason Co., Ky., September 17, 1796, d. January 24, 1835. Uncle 
 John was a gentleman of native intellect and cultivated mind. 
 Upon his marriage, his father gave him his Clark’s Run estate, four 
 miles west of Washington, Ky. Here he lived in the indulgence 
 of his literary tastes and hospitable nature until 1833, when his re¬ 
 duced fortunes required him to sell. He then removed to his wife’s 
 property on Mill Creek. He was at times intemperate, but during 
 the latter years of his life he refrained from liquor, and seldom left 
 home. He was a Democrat in politics, and though his party was in 
 a decided minority in the County, yet his personal popularity, on one 
 occasion, came very near electing him to the Legislature. His infor¬ 
 mation was varied, his reading general and his judgment sound. He 
 read every book that came in his way. His proficiency in history,

 philosophy, politics any other branches of information, made him an 
 interesting and instructive companion; but from indolence, his ca¬ 
 pabilities were never improved, so as to raise him to distinction. 
 His brilliant talents and independent fortune caused him to prepare 
 for no profession, and the man that might have adorned the bench, 
 the bar or the legislative forum, spent his life in privacy. 
 
 Aunt Lucy was an amiable and interesting lady, an indulgent 
 mother and a discreet housekeeper. From my father’s death, in 
 1825, until the family removed to Mill Creek, in 1833, the orphan 
 children of my parents found a home beneath the roof of Uncle John 
 and Aunt Lucy, and a warm place in their hearts. Both were in¬ 
 terred on the “Hill,” at Washington, Ky.

 My step-mother was reared at Washington, Ky., in its golden 
 age. Perhaps no town in the West possessed a more literary and 
 enlightened population, than was found in Washington the early part 
 of this century. I have known no female that surpassed my step¬ 
 mother in intelligence, knowledge, vivacity and spirit. Her energy 
 was a passion; her versatility was taken for frenzy, and her anima¬ 
 tion suggested insanity. She sought excitement, moved from place 
 to place, read every new book that came out, was ardent in her piety, 
 enlightened in her views, and could maintain her sentiments against 
 jurists, statesmen and theologians. Upon her marriage with my 
 father, she went with him to Columbus, Ohio. But while on a visit to 
 Kentucky, my father died in the old drawing-room on “The Hill,” 
 and in the graveyard there, he lies buried. One child, Mary F. E. 
 Paxton, was the fruit of the marriage. She was the widowed moth¬ 
 er’s pride and darling, her joy and hope. But the little one, when 
 three years old, wasted and died, and the mother was disconsolate. 
 Its remains lie beside its father’s, and its epitaph reads: “Born 
 December 19, 1825, died April 18, 1829. Of such is the Kingdom 
 of Heaven.”

 (b) Her step-children now demanded her care. She took us to 
 Uncle John’s (178), and had a room built for our accommodation. 
 She herself became our teacher. Never was a mother more faithful. 
 But it was a religious rather than a parental instinct that impelled 
 her. Her conscience was her supreme ruler. In fulfilling her du¬ 
 ties she had a martyr's firmness. It was not love to us, but her obli¬ 
 gation to God. It was not tenderness, hut a moral impulse. In 
 1880, she rented a house in Augusta, that she might take boarders, 
 and send my brother and me to college. A few months experience 
 disgusted her, and she went to Cincinnati. After sending me to 
 Dr. John A. McClung’s for a year, she took me to Cincinnati and 
 put me in the Catholic school known as the “Athenaeum.” Here I 
 remained until December, 1834, when she went with me to Danville, 
 Kv.,and entered me in the Freshman Class of Centre College. Here 
 she met Judge John Green, and in a short time they were married. 
 Judge Green’s palatial home was known as “ Waveland,” and is one 
 mile from Danville. I lived with them throughout my college 
 course. If Judge Green was ever paid a cent for my board, I do 
 not know it. 
 
 (c) Mr. Green was a tall and broad-shouldered man, of com¬ 
 manding person and dignified address. He was a profound lawyer 
 and a conscientious judge. His reading was extensive, but the Bible 
 was his favorite study. His large household was regularly gathered 
 for prayer. He was a patriarch, rather than a master, among his 
 servants. His first wife was Sarah Fry, daughter of the distin¬ 
 guished teacher, Joshua Fry. The children of his first wife were: 
 1, Willis Green, who married a daughter of Bishop Smith and be¬ 
 came a missionary to India; 2, Sally, who married a Barclay; 3, 
 Peachy, married Rev. Mr. Johnstone, and now lives in Danville, 
 Ky.; 4, Joshua, the apostle of Presbyterianism in Arkansas; 5, Su¬ 
 san, married James Weir; and 6, William, married a Weir, and was 
 a Presbyterian minister in Leavenworth, Kansas, some years ago. 
 
 I regard it as one of the great blessings of my life, that I was 
 brought under the influence of so great and good a man as Judge 
 Green. Though' he seldom spoke specially to me, yet his virtues 
 had a wide-spread influence. His associates were the learned and 
 pious men of his day. Dr. Young, Dr. Lewis W. Green, Dr. W.

 ity, Dr. Louis Marshall, and other good men often met in his par¬

 conversation. 
 
 (d) Mr. Green was one of the noble band of early emancipa¬ 
 tionists in Kentucky. He placed on record a paper liberating all 
 his slaves, some forty in number, as they became of age; and, long 
 before the war, they were free. His views on the slavery question 
 were severely criticised, and caused him much vexation. He was 
 an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and represented Lincoln Co., 
 in the State Legislature for seven terms, as follows: 1818, 1820, 
 
 1821, 1822, 1824, 1825 and 1832. He died in 1838, and his widow 
 returned to Mason County. She lived a number of years in Coving¬ 
 ton, and is now with her son, Col. Thomas M. Green, in Maysville. 
 She is the oldest of the eight surviving grand children of Col. Thos. 
 Marshall. The seven others are Nos. 200, 202, 188, 262, 266, 286 
 and 288. She is very deaf, and quite helpless; yet she walks around 
 and speaks intelligently. Perhaps I have the last long letter written 
 by her own hand, and as I prize it, maybe others will be interested 
 in it. It is as follows: 
 
 ( e ) Maysville, Kentucky, November 1, 1875. 
 
 W. M. Paxton, Platte City, Mo.: 
 
 My Dear Son: — I received your letter sometime ago, and would 
 have answered it sooner, but was told you were expected in Washing¬ 
 ton. 
 
 I was born on the 13th of January, 1797. Your father was born the 
 13th of September, nine years before. He was seventeen years old when 
 he came to Uncle McClung’s (72) to read history and study law. He 
 was about twenty-two when he was married to your mother. About a 
 month later your Aunt Lucy (178) and I were sent to Virginia. Your 
 father inherited a fortune of ten thousand dollars from his Grand¬ 
 mother Paxton, a very old woman. With that money lie built the 
 house you children were born in. John McDowell read law at the 
 same time with Uncle Alexander (68). They met Saturdays in town, 
 and slept at the office with Cousin Marshall Key (16 s), and eat at my 
 father’s, who was always called Uncle Tom by both of them. Some¬ 
 times they got into scrapes, writing against some of the candidates, and 
 my father had to get them out. 
 
 The summer after your father was married, his mother and step¬ 
 father, Mr. Moore, came to see them. They brought his half-brother 
 and half-sister. William and Jane Moore, and remained two years. Jane 
 went to school with my sisters, to old Mrs. Lee, and William went to 
 school to Mann Butler. Jane was homely, but a girl of fine sense. I 
 do not remember hearing your father speak of his Paxton kin; but he 
 was very proud of his step-father. 
 
 I met with a letter written by your father when twenty-one, and 
 sent it to your brother, Marshall. There were letters besides, but when

 I settled with the court, I gave up the property and with it the letters. 
 I retained nothing excepting yourself; nor did I ever give you up until 
 I saw you married to Mary Forman. 
 
 (/) I got a letter from William Green (her step-son ). I will an¬ 
 swer it next week. He talks of coming to see me sometime this winter. 
 Paxton (690) will be at home with his wife this week. Lizzie Waller 
 (686) is at home. I hope I shall be able to get to see them, but the 
 house will be very full. I have seven grand-children, and a very line 
 family. Nannie (648) is a fine manager of them. 
 
 Give my love to Mary and the girls. I met with old Mr. Paxton 
 [John D. Paxton, D. D.,] after the death of my baby. He was related 
 to your father. Gen. Houston was a cousin. There is a family of Pax¬ 
 tons living in Lincoln County, who are related to you. 
 
 Your affectionate mother, 
 
 MARY K. GREEN. 
 
 God bless the old lady, and may death come as a messenger of 
 peace. 
 
 (g) In 1884, I visited the grave of Judge Green in Danville 
 cemetery, and copied from his monument the following inscription: 
 
 “In memory of John Green, who was born June 4, 1786, and died 
 September 30, 1838, in the 52d year of his age. And I heard a voice 
 from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead which die in 
 the Lord, from henceforth—-Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest 
 from their labors, and their works do follow them.”

 A Eliza Colston Marshall, b. at Washington, Ky., March 
 10 ^ 17, 1801; d. July 19, 1874; = September 19, 1819, her 
 cousin Martin Picket Marshall, b. in Warrenton, Ya., Febru¬ 
 ary 10, 1798; d. in Washington, Ky., May 9, 1883. See No. 234. 
 I knew cousin Eliza in her prime. Tall, handsome, stately and com¬ 
 manding, she was perhaps the most radiant of the daughters of 
 Capt. Marshall. It was my delight in my college vacations, to 
 visit Belle-Grove, the charming villa in Fleming Co., Ky., where 
 she presided. And when the family removed to Washington, and 
 established themselves in the old homestead, I was often entertained 
 and instructed by the brilliance and power of her conversation. 
 But in her latter years her intellect was clouded, her vivacity 
 hushed, and her spirit veiled. 
 
 Cousin Martin was one of the most superb old gentlemen that I 
 ever met. He lost his father when he was a boy, and his uncle, 
 Chief Justice Marshal, took him ^into his family at Richmond. 
 Here he remained several years, reading history and philosophy. I 
 will let him tell his own story. In 1876 I had a long conference 
 with him, in his private study, in which he remarked: 
 
 In 1816, I left my mother in Virginia, determined to work out 
 my own destiny. Uncle John proffered to send me to college, but I 
 desired rather, to build on my 'own resources, I had nothing but 
 poverty for my inheritance, and energy for my capital. With this 
 independent spirit, I made my way to Kentucky. I brought no 
 letters of introduction, and my coming was unannounced. I had 
 no acquaintance on whom I could call for assistance. I first saw 
 my uncle, Alex. K. Marshall, (68) and told him I was a son of his 
 brother Charles, and that his brother John would write in my 
 behalf. He embraced me with affection, and told me his brother’s 
 son had no call for recommendations to him. Under his guidance, 
 I resumed the study of law. When on my first visit, I presented 
 myself to my uncle Thomas, he asked why I had come to Kentucky. 
 I told him I was on my father’s business, and in search of his wild 
 lands. Aunts Fanny Marshall and Susan McClung met me kindly. 
 Behind them, I saw a sweet face, and, at Aunt McClung’s command, 
 Eliza modestly advanced and saluted me with a kiss. I now de¬ 
 voted myself to the study of law, with Uncle Alexander. My dili¬ 
 gence was untiring. Of Saturday nights, I would go in to see 
 Eliza, and would return Sunday evenings. But I had an enemy in 
 
126

 Eliza’s brother, Thomas. He poisoned her mind against me, and 
 she rejected me, much to the chagrin of her mother. I visited her 
 no more, and our engagement was forgotten. In 1818, I was 
 licensed to practice, and settled in Paris, where Uncle Humphrey 
 was living. In six months I had earned $500, and was greatly 
 elated. In April 1818, I visited Washington, and my suit for 
 Eliza’s hand was renewed. I was accepted, and we were married. 
 Owing to an epidemic that broke out in Paris, about the date of my 
 marriage, I determined to adopt the suggestion of Cabell Brecken- 
 ridge, and settle in Cincinnati. Eliza and I rode to the city on 
 horseback, and remained there eleven months. Our prospects were 
 good, but my health broke down, and we concluded to- return. 
 After spending several years in Washington, we went in 1823 to 
 Fleming. 
 
 Seeing that Cousin Martin was feeble, I suggested that he lie 
 down and rest, while I visited my father’s grave. “Go William,” 
 he exclaimed, “and you will find there a fresh and unmarked 
 grave. There lies my sainted Eliza. I am waiting for my own 
 death, when one stone shall cover us both.” In speaking these 
 words the tears rolled down his cheeks, and the long white locks of 
 hair fell over his face. Exhausted, he fell upon his bed. 
 
 Mr. Marshall was prosecuting attorney for Fleming County, and 
 prosecuted Isaac Desha, for murder. He represented the County in 
 1825 and 1827. He was twice elector for Harrison and for Clay. 
 He was a member of the Convention of 1849, that framed the pres¬ 
 ent Constitution of Kentucky; and was elected Senator from Mason 
 in 1861. He opposed secession, and was a prominent suppoi’ter of 
 the Union cause. 
 
 Cousin Martin had a large and well selected library, and the 
 children were expected and required to use it. Cousin Eliza 
 delighted in young company, and her parlors were a favorite resort 
 of numbers of the most accomplished of both sexes. Many a 
 week have I spent at their hospital mansion when the halls and 
 dining room presented the appearance of a lasting reception. With 
 private tutors for the children, and educated and accomplished vis¬ 
 itors, books were the theme of constant discussion. Cousin Eliza 
 presided as a goddess surrounded by nymphs. 
 
 Cousin Martin was my beau-ideal of a patriarch. An orator by

 nature, he announced his opinions with emphasis, and sustained 
 them with earnestness. Upwards of six feet tall, and erect as a 
 soldier, he bore in his left hand a lofty staff, whose ponderous thud 
 clinched his arguments. His well combed locks fell far down on 
 his shoulders, and gave him a venerable appearance. He and his 
 family united with the Methodist Church, and to his death he was a 
 liberal supporter of every Christian and benevolent cause. He was a 
 friend of Henry Clay, and espoused gradual emancipation. Though 
 he had not practiced law for fifty years, yet the Maysville bar was 
 called together, and complimentary resolutions were passed on the 
 occasion of his death. 
 
 Mr. Marshall’s will is recorded in Maysville. It is dated in 1868 
 and ten codicils were added at different times. His children are 
 made equal, and his son Charles is appointed executor. The home¬ 
 stead and appurtenant lands are granted to Mary and Phoebe. 
 The shares of his daughters and of the sons of Lucy McKnight are 
 settled on trustees. The library and pictures are given to Mary. 
 A marble slab is to be placed over the graves of himself and wife, 
 and the graveyard is to be enclosed with an iron fence. 
 
 Before Mr. Marshall’s death, I desired to show him my venera¬ 
 tion, and sent him the following tribute : 
 
 TO HON. MARTIN P. MARSHALL, OF MASON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, PRESENTED 
 ON HIS 84TH BIRTH-DAY. 
 
 I. 
 
 Dear kinsman, and friend of my father, I hail thee, 
 
 With homage and love that are true; 
 
 And yet I am conscious that language will fail me 
 To give thee the honor that’s due. 
 
 Thy eighty-four years have made tremulous fingers, 
 
 And liair that is silvery white ; 
 
 But health, in both body and spirit, still lingers, 
 
 And hope, for the future, is bright. 
 
 II. 
 
 How well I remember, in days of my childhood, 
 
 The welcome I found at thy home! 
 
 Where fish in the streamlet, and game in the wildwood, 
 
 Invited me often to roam. 
 
 Your library, furnished with lore of all ages, 
 
 My youthful ambition inspired; 
 
 And here with philosophers, poets and sages, 
 
 My fondness for books was acquired.

 Profuse hospitality, friendship and learning, 
 
 With art and religion combined, 
 
 Are now an appropriate harvest returning, 
 
 In children well read and refined. 
 
 Your house was a home, where the laden and weary 
 Could find, on their pilgrimage, rest,— 
 
 Where friends, when the world was upbraiding or dreary, 
 With aid and good counsel were blest. 
 
 IY. 
 
 Where now you reside, from my first recollection, 
 
 Has been the dear home of your race; 
 
 ’Tis hallowed by time, and my early affection, 
 
 And Marshalls delight in the place. 
 
 The art of the Muses and taste of the Graces, 
 
 Its halls with luxuriance, store; 
 
 The guest “ Hospitality ” everywhere traces, 
 
 And “Welcome” is found on the door. 
 
 Y. 
 
 Thy kindred, to-day, as a father, revere thee, 
 
 And deem thee a type of the past: 
 
 The children, with filial affection, draw near thee, 
 
 And glances of reverence cast. 
 
 We hope, that in health, for long years you may flourish. 
 And five generations behold; 
 
 And pray you may live, as a shepherd, to nourish, 
 
 And gather your flock to the fold. 
 
 VI. 
 
 The surname of Marshall is loved and respected; 
 
 And thou art its prophet and sage; 
 
 We’d find thee the first, were the kindred collected, 
 
 In stature, in wisdom and age ; 
 
 And if the relations could meet in reunion, 
 
 And fill the old family rooms, 
 
 How pleasant and sacred would be their communion, 
 Beside their progenitors tombs. 
 
 VII. 
 
 The bones of thy grandsire, Tom Marshall, here slumber. 
 With those of his wife, by his side; 
 
 Their children, who married, were fifteen in number, 
 
 And all were of note, ere they died. 
 
 And here is the tomb where my father reposes, 
 
 With others for whom I yet weep; 
 
 A mantle of ivy, with myrtle and roses, 
 
 Apparel the ground where they sleep. 
 
 VIII. 
 
 As Orator, Warrior, Statesman and Jurist, 
 
 Thy kindred have honored the name; 
 
 Their deeds were the noblest, their lives were the purest. 
 And time will their merits proclaim.

 Thy uncle, Chief Justice John Marshall, forever, 
 
 With laurel and palm will be decked; 
 
 And you, as his favorite pupil, can never, 
 
 His precepts and honor neglect. 
 
 IX. 
 
 The name of thy father, with pure veneration, 
 
 Virginians still mention with pride ; 
 
 He rose on the sky, as a bright constellation, 
 
 And just at his zenith, he died. 
 
 That genius — Tom Marshall — Kentucky’s proud scion — 
 The idol and child of the West, 
 
 And John A. McClung, the true soldier of Zion, 
 
 The blood the Marshalls attest.

 While John J. and Thomas A. Marshall were noted, 
 
 And honored, on bench and at bar, 
 
 The family name was still further promoted, 
 
 By Humphrey’s career in the war, 
 
 And scores of good men, from the Marshalls descended, 
 Still strive in the battle of life, 
 
 And yet will be crowned, when the conflict is ended, 
 
 With laurels achieved in the strife. 
 
 XI. 
 
 Thy sainted companion, Eliza, the gifted, 
 
 With thee shall eternity spend ; 
 
 Her grave for thy body, ere long, shall be rifted, 
 
 And thou to her side shall descend. 
 
 Her wisdom and grace, from my first recollection, 
 
 Were such as few women possess; 
 
 Her husband could trust in her truth and affection; 
 
 Her children, her memory will bless. 
 
 XII. 
 
 You love the green graves where your ancestors pillow, 
 
 And often commune with the dead, 
 
 And over their tombs, like the twigs of the willow, 
 
 Your hoary hair hangs from your head. 
 
 And sometimes, when low,'at their graves, you are kneeling, 
 The eyes of your faith look above; 
 
 And there you behold a bright vision, revealing 
 The bliss of the dead whom you love. 
 
 XIII. 
 
 Among them, you see, in elysian enjoyment, 
 
 Dear Lucy, whose grave is yet new; 
 
 Her eyes are oft turned, from her blissful employment, 
 
 To look, to the portal, for you. 
 
 To part from thy friends upon earth, will bring sorrow, 
 Though few of them linger below; 
 
 But when, in God’s likeness, you wake on the morrow, 
 
 Vast numbers their love will bestow.

 1 Q I ( a ) Lucy Ambler Marshall, b. in Washington, Ky., 
 
 ^ December 30, 1802, d. in Vicksburg, Miss., July 3, 1858, 
 = October 19, 1826, Nicholas D. Coleman, b. April 22,1800, d. at 
 Vicksburg, May 11,1874. Cousin Lucy was a pleasant, and amiable 
 lady. Her wedding was the first I ever witnessed. After the re¬ 
 moval of the family from Washington, I never met her. She died 
 in Vicksburg, and was brought home for burial. 
 
 Mr. Coleman was raised in Harrison Co., Ky.; was well educated, 
 studied law, represented Harrison County in the State Legislature 
 in 1824 and 1825; was elected to Congress in 1829, as a Jackson 
 Democrat, from the Mason District. The next election he was de¬ 
 feated by his wife’s cousin, Thomas A. Marshall. He was then ap¬ 
 pointed postmaster at Maysville, Ivy. About 1840, he was appointed 
 postmaster at Vicksburg, Miss. While superintending the perform¬ 
 ance of official duties, Col. Coleman contined the practice of law, 
 and was an ardent advocate of many laudable enterprises. The 
 Maysville and Lexington Turnpike was his earliest scheme, and 
 chiefly through his powerful advocacy Congress made a liberal ap¬ 
 propriation for the road ; but the bill, greatly to Mr. Coleman’s cha¬ 
 grin, was vetoed by President Jackson. Another of his projects was 
 a Southern Pacific Railroad, by way of Vicksburg, Shreveport and 
 El Paso. He was overjoyed when ground was broken for his dar¬ 
 ling enterprise, and for a time accepted the presidency of the DeSoto 
 road. In 1855, Col. Coleman removed to New Orleans; was in the 
 Senate of Louisiana when the war broke out; opposed secession, but 
 when the State went out of the Union, he gave an ardent support 
 to the Southren cause. His three sons were in the army; two of 
 them lost their lives, and all were covered with martial chaplets. 
 After the war Col. Coleman found himself impoverished, and en¬ 
 gaged in life insurance. He died at the house of his son, Major 
 James T. Coleman, of Vicksburg. He died of disease of the heart. 
 Col. Coleman was a handsome, accomplished and agreeable gentle¬ 
 man. His iron honor and adamantine integrity were joined with 
 agreeable condescension and polished grace. He was equally loved 
 and admired.

 James William Marshall, named for two brothers who had 
 
 died before his birth; b. in Washington, Ky., March 9, 1807 > 
 died near Tollsboro, Ky., at the house pf his niece, Julianna Bland, 
 December 6, 1877, and buried, by his request, in the Baptist church¬ 
 yard, Washington, Ky. He was educated at the U. S. Naval School, 
 at Annapolis, Md.; in early life was a brilliant and spirited gentle¬ 
 man ; when on the death of his mother, he received his patrimony, 
 it was squandered in extravagance; became slightly insane, and 
 spent some time at the Kentucky lunatic asylum; was discharged 
 as harmless, and was sustained by relatives for the rest of his life; 
 in his latter years, was somewhat restored to reason; united with the 
 Baptist Church, and led a quiet and exemplary life.

 living at “Walnut Grove,” one mile from Washington, Ky. Col. 
 Marshall was educated at “ Buckpond,” at the private school of his 
 uncle, Dr. Louis Marshall. Under the tutelage of his father and

 older sisters, he read at home history, philosophy and belles letters. 
 After marriage he purchased “ Walnut Grove ” of the descendants 
 of his wife’s grandfather, A. K. Marshall (68) ; and here he has 
 spent his useful life, in the quiet pursuits of agriculture. His home 
 has long been the center of refinement, literature and religion. Be¬ 
 neath his hospitable roof I have always found a welcome and gen¬ 
 erous entertainment. Ten years my senior, I have always found 
 Col. Marshall a wise counsellor and a powerful protector. Of tall 
 and ungainly person, his bodily activity, mental power and moral 
 courage give him even yet a commanding influence. His boiling 
 Kennan blood is assuaged by Marshall pride, sober thought, and the 
 curtain lectures of his good wife. By nature, a “ rough ashler,” his 
 wide experience, social culture and extensive reading, have polished 
 him into brilliant marble. I have seldom met with one better versed 
 in English and American history, and the politics and literature of 
 the day. His associates have been the leading men of Kentucky. 
 He is liberal in his views, and takes a lively interest in every reform. 
 
 Mr. Marshall has been successively a Whig, American and Dem¬ 
 ocrat. He represented Mason Co., Ky., in the State Legislature in 
 1840 and 1855-1859. When the war broke out he was a decided 
 Union man, and opposed secession with all his powers. Though too 
 old for active service, his energy and influence caused him to be se¬ 
 lected to raise a regiment of infantry in Northern Kentucky. He 
 had hardly commenced the work of enlistment before he was ordered 
 to join Gen. Nelson in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. On 
 the 19th of October, 1861, he started with 350 men. On the march 
 of Nelson’s brigade up the Big Sandy, Marshall was placed in the 
 advance. Scouts were thrown out, but Nelson demanded more 
 haste. Col. Marshall pressed forward rapidly, and suddenly found 
 himself attacked by the enemy. His men were in a narrow defile, 
 with the river on one side, and the bluff upon the other. A deadly 
 fire was poured on him from the bluffs in front, and from the oppo¬ 
 site side of the river. The men were ordered under cover of the 
 rocks, and for an hour an equal battle raged. Col. Marshall’s horse 
 was killed under him, and his cap and clothing were perforated with 
 balls. The combatants suffered about equal loss. When reinforce¬ 
 ments appeared on the bluffs, the enemy fled. Having accomp¬ 
 lished their purpose the brigade returned. The Sixteenth Kentucky 
 was completed, and did signal service in the war. But Col. Mar-

 shall found that age and rheumatism unfitted him for service, and 
 he resigned. 
 
 Col. Marshall’s wife is my sister. Bright, merry and joyous in 
 her youth, she is yet full of life, energy and enterprise. She rules 
 her own department, which extends over house, yard and garden. 
 No one has earlier vegetables, or more beautiful or rare flowers. 
 Her hearty welcome and large and cordial hospitality, have made 
 “ Walnut Grove,” with its antique and aristocratic surroundings, a 
 favorite resort for a large circle of friends. 
 
 My sister, in early life, joined the Presbyterian Church, andj 
 years afterward, her husband followed her to the house of God. He 
 has long been an elder, and a zealous supporter of the church. A 
 family alter is erected, and the voice of prayer is daily heard at the 
 evening sacrifice. I will conclude this article with two poetic tributes 
 I have paid to him and his family: 
 
 TO COL. CHAS. A. MARSHALL, OP MASON COUNTY, KENTUCKY. 
 
 When first ambition seized my soul, 
 
 And hope its paeons chanted, 
 
 True excellence I made my goal, 
 
 And for it toiled and panted; 
 
 But those I thought were good and pure 
 Proved false in half their dealing, 
 
 And, in their schemes to rise and soar, 
 
 Lost honor, truth and feeling. 
 
 I therefore sought some paregon — 
 
 Some wise and genial Mentor,— 
 
 To point the way and urge me on, 
 
 In virtue’s paths to enter. 
 
 At length I found that guide in you — 
 
 That friend and elder brother; 
 
 You bade me wisdom’s ways pursue, 
 
 And turn from every other. 
 
 Y found in you a generous heart,— 
 
 Benignant, meek and tender. 
 
 You always took the wronged one’s part, 
 
 And proved a true defender. 
 
 When innocence or virtue wept, 
 
 You sighed in tender yearning; 
 
 For Mercy’s lamp was always kept 
 Within your bosom burning. 
 
 In times that made the strongest quail, 
 
 You did not cringe nor waver; 
 
 You never learned to catch the gale 
 Of shifting public favor. 
 
 No tyrant’s threat-—no maddened throng 
 Could drive you from your duty; 
 
THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 135 
 
 (188) COL. CHARLES ALEXANDER MARSHALL. 
 
 No bribe could make you do a wrong, 
 
 Nor could the smile of beauty. 
 
 In times of peace, the olive bough 
 Thy worthy deeds attested; 
 
 In times of war, upon thy brow 
 A laurel chaplet rested. 
 
 But nobler deeds of Christian love, 
 
 Your useful life pervading, 
 
 Assures to you, in heaven above, 
 
 A crown of life unfading. 
 
 Your firm decision, faith and zeal — 
 
 Your truth and self-denial; 
 
 Your love of right and nerve of steel 
 Have won in many a trial; 
 
 Your good example often nerved 
 And cheered me in temptation: 
 
 And when from duty I have swerved, 
 
 I met your condemnation. 
 
 You walk in academic groves — 
 
 By bright poetic fountains; 
 
 Through Tempe’s vale your fancy roves, 
 
 Or climbs Parnassian mountains; 
 
 Political and civil lore 
 Your daily thought engages, 
 
 And history holds for you in store 
 The wisdom of the ages. 
 
 I looked into your inmost heart, 
 
 And found no envy burning — 
 
 No jealousy, with poisoned dart, 
 
 Nor scorn — the humble spurning; 
 
 But justice, with impartial scales, 
 
 Gives equal rights to others, 
 
 And tender charity prevails, 
 
 To make all men thy brothers. 
 
 That patient, genial heart of thine — 
 
 So void of selfish feeling — 
 
 A wondrous power to work on mine, 
 
 Was year by year revealing; 
 
 I tried to equal, not excel, 
 
 Your justice, truth and meekness, 
 
 But far below my model fell, 
 
 And proved my empty weakness. 
 
 Although to three score years and ten, 
 
 Thy pilgrimage is lengthened, 
 
 Yet thou art still revered by men, 
 
 And all thv powers are strengthened; 
 
 And we will hope, as years increase, 
 
 Thy burden will be lighter, 
 
 And when earth’s lights grow pale and cease, 
 You’ll find a world that’s brighter.

 GODLEN WEDDING — TO MY SISTER, MRS. P. A. MARSHALL, AND HER HUS¬ 
 BAND, COL. C. A. MARSHALL, OF MASON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, ON THE 
 OCCASION OF THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR MARRIAGE, SEP¬ 
 TEMBER 12, 1833 —1883. 
 
 Dear Sister, I see in the tints of your hair, 
 
 And lines of your radiant face, 
 
 That time is morose, and unwilling to spare 
 The purest and best of the race. 
 
 But pitiless age cannot take from your life 
 The graces the Spirit bestows: — 
 
 The faith of a mother, the love of a wife, 
 
 And peace that the pardoned one knows. 
 
 ’Tis fifty long years, since, in maidenly glee, 
 
 You made all around you rejoice: 
 
 As waves you were wild, and as winds you were free, 
 
 And sadness withdrew at your voice." 
 
 Health glowed in your features, and flushed on your cheek, 
 And happiness beamed from your eye; 
 
 Your presence brought hope to the lowly and meek, 
 
 And pleasure and mirth to the high. 
 
 Though nature vouchsafed you a form that was fair, 
 
 And virtues of mind and of heart, 
 
 Yet training had added accomplishments, rare, 
 
 In literature, science and arte. 
 
 And you were endowed with the graces, in youth, 
 
 Expressed by the lily and rose,— 
 
 With modesty, diffidence, coyness and truth, 
 
 The timorous violet shows. 
 
 The lover that gathered the beautiful flower, 
 
 Still wears it, in love, on his breast: 
 
 To him it’s as fresh as when plucked from the bow6r, 
 
 And first on his heart was caressed. 
 
 Its incense assures him her prayers are sincere, 
 
 And rise to the heavenly dome,— 
 
 Its roseate leaves tell of sunshine and cheer, 
 
 She brings to his heart and his home. 
 
 ’Tis said that good angels companions select 
 For those whom they love upon earth; 
 
 And surely their choice, in your case, was correct, 
 
 And you were well mated from birth. 
 
 Your marriage, like Eve’s, was arranged in the skies, 
 
 And angels stood sponsors below; 
 
 And loving immortals, unseen by your eyes, 
 
 Still guard you wherever you go. 
 
 My Sister, the partner you chose for your life, 
 
 Yet faithfully stands at your side; 
 
 In fond admiration, he clings to his wife, 
 
 As when you were first made his bride. 
 
 His form is yet stately,—his arm is still strong, 
 
 And wisdom increases with age; 
 
 Around him his children and grandchildren throng, 
 
 With reverence due to a sage. 
 
THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 137 
 
 (188) COL. CHAKLES ALEXANDER MARSHALL. 
 
 In youth he could charm by his tongue or his pen,— 
 
 Was generous, handsome and gay,— 
 
 Beloved by the women, and envied by men, 
 
 And honored by all at that day. 
 
 His name on the halls of the State is engraved; 
 
 His voice in the forum was heard; 
 
 The dag of his country in triumph he waved, 
 
 Though dangers and toils were incurred. 
 
 But when the glad era of peace had returned, 
 
 No more of earth’s honors he’d seek: — 
 
 Content with the laurel and palm he had earned, 
 
 He bowed with the lowly and meek. 
 
 And now that his heart has been mellowed by years. 
 And cleansed by the gospel of peace, 
 
 The joy of his Lord more attractive appears, 
 
 And sanctified pleasures increase. 
 
 ’Tis dfty long years, since, arrayed as a bride, 
 
 You pledged your devotion and truth, 
 
 To him, who as husband, has walked at your side," 
 Fulfilling the vows of his youth. 
 
 And now in each other’s full love you repose, 
 
 With faith that is boundless and free; 
 
 For love, which, at first, as a rivulet flows, 
 
 Becomes a broad, fathomless sea. 
 
 For one generation together you’ve trod 
 The paths of the humble and just; 
 
 You’ve fully devoted your hearts unto God, 
 
 And put in your Savior your trust; 
 
 And daily at God’s holy altar you meet, 
 
 For family service and praise; 
 
 And find in the Bible a lamp for your feet, 
 
 Illuming your path by its rays. 
 
 Your sons and your daughters, though scattered afar, 
 
 Are strangers wherever they roam; 
 
 For filial regard, like the mariner’s star, 
 
 Still points them to parents and home. 
 
 And now, in reunion, they’ve gathered to-day, 
 
 Around the dear hearthstone of yore, 
 
 Their pure veneration and love to display, 
 
 To parents they almost adore. 
 
 Here, Thomas, your first-born, who dwells in the west,— 
 Has come over mountain and plain; 
 
 And William, my namesake, his love to attest, 
 
 Now treads the old homestead again. 
 
 And Paxton and Benjamin, though they may seem 
 To you, as but boys, are now grown, 
 
 And bow to your call or command as supreme, 
 
 And make all your pleasure their own. 
 
 Here’s Fanny, the child whom I knew in her youth, 
 
 And nursed in her infantile days; 
 
 She clings to you closely,—commending your truth. 
 
 And mingling devotion with praise. 
 
138 
 
 THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 (190) THOMAS MARSHALL. 
 
 And Lizzie and Lucy now sit at your feet, 
 
 And there would remain evermore; 
 
 While Sallie conceives that her home is so sweet, 
 She’ll never depart from its door. 
 
 But one is not here: — ’tis Maria the blest— 
 
 The daughter so noble and true! 
 
 She sits at the banquet above, as a guest, 
 
 And waits a reunion with you. 
 
 Her heart was all kindness,— her spirit all love; 
 
 Her soul was on usefulness bent; 
 
 As wholly unselfish as angels above,— 
 
 Her life in God’s service was spent. 
 
 This chair at the table is placed for her seat; 
 
 For truly her spirit is here; 
 
 And three other chairs make the circle complete, 
 
 Of children whose spirits are near. 
 
 And thus all the living and dead, of the name, 
 
 Are here, and united in love,— 
 
 And soon they shall gather, as saints to proclaim. 
 
 A diamond wedding above. 
 
 The fiftieth year of your marriage has past, 
 
 And mercies untold have been yours; 
 
 For two generations your lots have been cast, 
 
 Where plenty has emptied its stores; 
 
 Your sons have proved trustworthy, honest and true: 
 Your daughters in marriage are blest; 
 
 And lovely grandchildren come fondly to you, 
 
 And wait to be kissed and caressed. 
 
 Believe not your usefulness ended below, 
 
 Nor think that your mission is done; 
 
 For just as your age and experience grow, 
 
 So judgment and wisdom are won; 
 
 And like as the patriarch, prophet and sage, 
 Imparted instruction of old, 
 
 So you shall distribute the precepts of age, 
 
 And counsel more precious than gold. 
 
 And now, let the richest of blessings descend 
 From Him whom you worship as Lord; 
 
 For neither your comforts nor duties shall end, 
 
 Till called to your final reward. 
 
 And there in the presence of Him you adore, 
 
 May pleasures unending abound, 
 
 And perfect enjoyment and life evermore, 
 
 By all your descendants be found.

 about 1800, and died in 1826. Mr. Marshall was educated for the 
 law, and was practicing in Winchester, Va., when an epidemic broke 
 out and carried off the whole family. The parents died in the same 
 hour, and one of their children preceded them, and the other fol¬ 
 lowed with the intermission of only twenty hours.

 Lucy Marshall (232), b. August 15, 1796, d. December 24,1844, 
 at Happy Creek. Mr. Marshall was educated at Y r ale College, and 
 was a gentleman of superior literary attainments. After living sev¬ 
 eral years at “ Mt. Morris,” Fauquier Co., Va., his father relinquished 
 to him, as the oldest son, the Happy Creek estate, where he spent 
 the life of a genial and hospitable Virginia gentleman. In politics 
 he was a Whig, and in religion an Episcopalian. Too old to take 
 up arms, he opposed secession; but when his State withdrew from 
 the Union, his whole soul became enlisted in the cause. Four of his 
 sons entered the Southern Army, and the only remaining one was in 
 India. Mrs. Marshall was born and educated in Warrenton, Va. 
 She was a lovely, pure and Christian woman. 
 
 194 James Marshall, b. at Happy Creek, October 21,1802, d. 
 
 * at Winchester, Va., February 11, 1880, and buried there. 
 Mr. Marshall was an eminent lawyer. His patrimony was increased 
 by the income of his profession. He was a member from Fauquier 
 to the State convention in 1861, and opposed secession with all his 
 powers. But when defeated, he gave his adhesion to the State. He 
 died precisely ten years after his brother Robert. His liberality and 
 generous endorsements for failing friends, swallowed up his estate 
 and reduced him to a bare competency. He was amiable in dispo¬ 
 sition, and much beloved. He was highly esteemed as a statesman 
 and as a lawyer. He never married.

 (6) Lieut. Marshall visited Mason Co., Ivy., before his first mar¬ 
 riage, and I remember him as a noble, gallant and chivalrous young 
 gentleman. He was much courted for his handsome person and 
 agreeable manners. His naval voyages introduced him to the wide 
 world, and his knowledge of foreign races and countries made him 
 an interesting companion. After marriage, he resigned his position 
 in the Navy, and settled at “Edgeworth,” nine miles south of 
 Markham, in Fauquier Co., Va. Here he erected a spacious and 
 quaintly fashioned mansion, and expended much labor on the 
 grounds. He lived the luxurious life of a learned, independent, 
 genial and hospitable farmer, never aspiring to higher distinction 
 than that of a generous friend, a charitable neighbor or patriotic 
 citizen. The following letter to his sister Mary, dated Marseilles, 
 France, September 2, 1832, will give a sunny view of his life on the 
 seas: 
 
 (c) “My Dear Sister: — Our ship has just anchored at Mar¬ 
 seilles, having on board Com. Biddle, who intends to return by way 
 of Havre, in such ill health as to make us fear he will not live to 
 get home. He will be a greater loss to the service than any officer 
 in it, not even excepting Com. Warrington. I know of no officer 
 from whom I have received more gentlemanly attention than from 
 Com. Biddle; and I believe there is a general feeling of extreme re¬ 
 gret, at his being forced, by his ill health, to ask his relief; — I mean 
 among those officers who know him well, for there are some who 
 have unavoidably been employed in distant parts of the station, and 
 who were dissatisfied at being ordered off, without being permitted 
 to visit and idle away eight or ten months in Italy or France, and 
 who disliked him because they had no opportunity to get acquainted 
 with him. 
 
 I received your letter by the frigate “United States,” and am 
 surprised to hear of your having written before, as this is the first 
 letter I have received from you since I left home. From Susan, I 
 have received two, and I have written often. But as I generally 
 had to send through Spain to Gibraltar, or through France to Havre, 
 
THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 141 
 
 (196) JOHN MARSHALL. 
 
 I calculated on one-half, at least, miscarrying. I did not write to 
 William Leigh, as I w T as nearly one hundred and eighty miles from 
 Syracuse when he sailed, being on a visit to Mt. HCtna and Palermo, 
 and did not arrive until two days after the sailing of the Ontario. 
 
 (d) It is probable the Concord will return this fall to the United 
 States, but I shall not return in her, as it is possible I may be made 
 First Lieutenant of the John Adams, and that will be so advanta¬ 
 geous to me, professionally, that I will be willing to stay a year or 
 two longer to procure the place. 
 
 I received rather a melancholy letter from Henry Morris (200) 
 inclosing yours, and am gratified to hear from him that he intended 
 to come out in the Delaware. I hope it may be more pleasant to 
 him than his last cruise, which was wretched enough, as you must 
 have heard. 
 
 If Congress decides to give us the swords presented to the offi¬ 
 cers of this ship by the Pasha of Egypt, I wish father to get mine, 
 and to have it put away until my return. 
 
 I do not.give you an account of our cruise in the Archipelago, 
 and our visit to Greece, Egjqpt and Asia Minor, as I wrote to Sue 
 from Smyrna, in detail, I believe. I shall send this by my friend, 
 Harry Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, aid-de-camp of Com. Biddle, who 
 returns with him. God bless you. J. MARSHALL.”

 Co., Ky. She possesses the vigor and sprightliness of middle life, 
 corresponds extensively among her kindred, and enjoys the service

 have received from her many letters, sparkling with intelligence, 
 piety and truth.

 Susan Ambler, with her unmarried children, lives at “ The Dell,” 
 six miles southwest of Markham, Va. “The Dell” is an estate of 
 3,100 acres of timbered land and pasture. She has other landed 
 estates, and enjoys a large income. I visited her in 1884, and found 
 a hale, handsome and dignified matron ; hospitable, generous, in¬ 
 telligent and reserved; altogether, she is a grand old lady. A 
 friend writes me: “ She is one of the most elegant women I ever 
 
 knew. Her trials and sorrors have only served to enhance the 
 beauties of her character.” 
 
 After receiving a liberal education and studying medicine at 
 Paris, Dr. Ambler settled in Richmond, Va., and practiced success¬ 
 fully for some years. After his marriage he returned to “ The 
 Dell,” and while superintending his large estate, became an amatuer 
 in history, science and philosophy. He read extensively and be¬ 
 came a proficient in literature and art. He enjoyed the esteem of 
 all who knew him, and was revered for his learning and medical 
 skill. His monument is found in the Leeds church-yard. The in¬ 
 scription reads : “ Richard Cary Ambler, third son of John Ambler 
 and Katherine {nee) Bush, his wife, born November 8, 1810; died 
 July 16, 1877.” I am indebted to him chiefly for the Ambler

 her aunt, Mollie Marshall, she grew up into a charming womanhood. 
 She married first, in Woodford. During her widowhood, I often 
 saw her. She spent much of her time in Mason, and was admired 
 for both beauty and accomplishments. Mr. Adams was a widower 
 of Pittsburg, with several daughters, one of whom married Dr. 
 Alex. K. Marshall (636). Mr. Adams’ father left quite an estate 
 to the children of his son Gilbert. The latter was at one time a 
 merchant in Washington, Ky., and subsequently at Mt. Carmel. 
 He died at the latter place and was buried on “ The Hill,” in Wash¬

 Lewis County, and farmed and kept a woodyard. About 1847, the 
 family removed to Mississippi, near Charleston. In 1849, he paid a 
 visit to Kentucky and Virginia, and, on his return, he was taken 
 with cholera at Memphis, and there died. He was buried at Mem¬

 He filled this place for years. During the war he was in the Con¬ 
 federate State Senate. After the war he removed to Baltimore, 
 where he died. The first Mrs. Marshall was a daughter of Robert 
 Johnstone Taylor, an eminent lawyer of Alexandria, Ya. The sec¬ 
 ond wife was a daughter of Charles Gartz Robb and Sarah G. Mc- 
 Glenachan, of Warrenton. Mr. Marshall was a learned and polite 
 gentleman,— an agreeable companion,— of fine conversational pow¬ 
 ers, and sober, yet festive in his habits. His great heart and open 
 hand wasted his estate, and left him in humble circumstances. His 
 wit and fund of anecdotes made him agreeable and popular.

 his death. He was buried at Leed’s Church, where a stoue records 
 his name, birth and death. He was a man of remarkable faith and 
 piety, and was venerated for his virtues. Three of his sons became 
 Episcopal preachers. Cousin Lucy Ambler lives at “Church Hill,” 
 Markham. Her health is good, and her memory remarkable. I am 
 indebted to her for much genealogical lore. I visited her in 1884, 
 and had long conferences about early times. She was a daughter of 
 Charles Johnson and Lettie Pickett. The latter was a daughter of 
 Martin Pickett, and sister of Lucy Pickett. See Pickett chart, No.

 Va., September 13, 1788; d. in Washington, Ky., October 23, 1825. 
 My mother died when I was but four years old; yet I remember 
 ome of the circumstances, and can recall the sad pageant of her 
 burial. She was buried in the Franklinton Cemetery, but, a few 
 years ago, we had her dust removed to the Columbus Cemetery, 
 and laid beside her sister, Mrs. Sullivant. We erected a neat mon¬ 
 ument, to preserve her memory. I have often heard my mother 
 praised for her lovely yet fragile form, and for her amiable disposi¬ 
 tion. Her house was the home of her relatives. She inherited 
 from the McDowell’s sweetness, modesty and purity, and from the 
 Marshalls intelligence, vivacity and spirit. 
 
 (b) My grandfather, James Paxton, was killed in Rockbridge 
 Co., Va., shortly after his marriage, by an accidental shot from the 
 gun of a companion, with whom he was hunting. My father was 
 the only child of the marriage; but his mother married a Mr. 
 Moore, removed to southwestern Kentucky, and raised a large 
 family, none of whom I remember ever meeting. (See No. 180 e.) 
 When a youth, my father followed his uncle, William McClung, to 
 Kentucky, and lived for a few years near Bardstown. About 1803, 
 the uncle and nephew came to Mason Co., Ky. Under the instruc¬ 
 tions of Judge McClung (72), my father pursued a long course of 
 reading and studied law. His learning, as well as his handsome 
 person and brilliant oratory, introduced him into a wide practice. 
 Raised in the Federal school of politics, he became a zealous Whig, 
 
150

 and a sincere Emancipationist. In 1822, he determined to sacrifice 
 Iris well established practice and rear his children upon free soiL 
 He accordingly removed to Columbus, then a small but rising city, 
 and was received by the McDowells, and other friends, that had 
 preceded him with open arms. There he started on a professional 
 and political career that would have brought distinction. But my 
 mother died, and his heart and children were in Kentucky. His 
 second wife was a cousin of my mother. (See No. 180.) He lived 
 but a few months after his second marriage. He died while on a 
 visit to Washington, Ivy. He was thrown from his buggy at the 
 Blue-Licks, his head struck a log, and he died from some affectitm 
 of the brain. 
 
 (c) I was six years old when my father died. He was portly, 
 six feet high, and weighed 175 pounds. As a lawyer and orator he 
 had few superiors. An intelligent, genial and urbane gentleman, 
 he was beloved by a large circle of intimate friends, and was very 
 popular with all classes. His commanding military person, as well 
 as his coolness and courage, called him forth in the Indian Wars; 
 and, as aide to Generals Shelby and Harrison, he filled his proper 
 place. He was an enthusiastic Mason, and was buried with all the 
 “ pomp and circumstance ” of the Mystic Order. He lies in the 
 cemetery on the “Hill,” in Washington, and his broad slab bears 
 the following legend, written by Dr. Edgar: 
 
 ( d ) “ Reared to the memory of James A. Paxton, the son of James 
 Paxton and Phoebe McClung, b. September 13, 1788, in Rockbridge Co., 
 Va., d. October 23, 1825, aged 37 years. No one has fallen a victim to 
 death of more incorruptable integrity. To pre-eminent talents and at¬ 
 tainments, he united the social and domestic virtues in a degree seldom 
 if ever, surpassed by a friend or husband, a father or brother. Though 
 learned and eloquent as a jurist, yet his main attractions were found 
 in his sympathetic heart, his disinterested benevolence, and his moral 
 delicacy of sentiment and action.” 
 
 “ His home was the retreat of peace and plenty, where, supporting 
 and supported, polished friends and dear relatives met and mingled 
 into bliss.” 
 
 (e) My father’s will was made September 11, 1825. It gives 
 his lands to his executors, with power of sale, in trust for his widow 
 and children. The widow was to have received a child’s part, but 
 this she would not take from the children, having enough property in 
 her own right. The will appoints his widow and my uncle, James 
 K. Marshall, his executors. It is witnessed by Marshall Key, Susan 
 McClung, Frances Marshall and John A. McClung.

 The following poem, I addressed some years ago to my sister: 
 (860.) 
 
 (/) TO MY SISTER, MRS. CHARLES A. MARSHALL. 
 
 Dear sister, three score years have passed 
 Since our good mother breathed her last. 
 
 I then in age was only four, 
 
 And you were scarcely two years more; 
 
 Our brother’s age was only seven, 
 
 And sister Mary’s not eleven. 
 
 Our father took us to his heart, 
 
 And would not let the nestlings part. 
 
 By mutual love we cheered each other; 
 
 But what was home without a mother. 
 
 As youngest, I was father’s pet; 
 
 For me his cheeks were often wet; 
 
 By day I followed as he led; 
 
 At night I slept upon his bed. 
 
 But two years more, when father died, 
 
 We lost our only friend and guide. 
 
 This caused our infant hearts to bleed; 
 
 For we were orphans, now, indeed. 
 
 Though friends were many and were kind, 
 
 A parents love we did not find. 
 
 No tender father’s gentle hand 
 With pride led forth a merry band ; 
 
 No mother quelled our rising fears, 
 
 Nor kissed away our welling tears; 
 
 And when some happy mother smiled, 
 
 And fondly pressed her darling child, 
 
 I’ve often thought a mother’s kiss 
 Would fill my heart with perfect bliss. 
 
 But while the outside world was cold, 
 
 Our uncle’s house became our fokl, 
 
 Where all our wants were well supplied, 
 
 And sympathy alone denied. 
 
 Since no one loved us as before, 
 
 We loved each other all the more. 
 
 But bitter partings came at last, 
 
 And we were far asunder cast; 
 
 And since that day, so fraught with pain, 
 
 The four have never met again,— 
 
 Nor can we ever meet before 
 We join in heaven to part no more. 
 
 Yes, half our band have gone above, 
 
 And now enjoy eternal love. 
 
 But you and I must stay below, 
 
 Until the Master bids us go. 
 
 Now let us speak of those above, 
 
 And burnish all our words with love.

 ( g ) OUR MOTHER — MARIA PAXTON. 
 
 Our mother quit this earthly stage 
 When only thirty years of age. 
 
 I was her pet and darling child; 
 
 On me she always fondly smiled. 
 
 Her face, by memory’s native art, 
 
 Is photographed upon my heart. 
 
 Her brow was as the lily, fair; 
 
 Her cheek would with the rose compare; 
 The music of her tender voice 
 Made all within its reach, rejoice. 
 
 ’Tis said she had the Marshall mind, 
 
 With rich McDowell heart combind. 
 
 The wisdom of her father’s race 
 Was linked to all her mothers grace,— 
 
 That mother whom her nephews named 
 Their “ Angel Aunt,” because they claimed 
 No earth-born being could compare 
 With one so pure, so chaste and fair. 
 
 As pure, as lovely, and as true, 
 
 Our mother was an angel too. 
 
 Her charity was broad and free; 
 
 So, too, her hospitality. 
 
 Around her hearth her kindred met, 
 
 Her board was with abundance set; 
 
 Her door forever, open stood, 
 
 To welcome there the poor and good; 
 
 Her home became the glad retreat 
 Where welcome friends would daily meet 
 To spend the dewy twilight hour 
 In festal ease in hall or bower. 
 
 At father’s grave, through many years, 
 We’ve paid the tribute of our tears ; 
 
 But mother’s grave is far away, 
 
 And no one kneels by it to pray; 
 
 And though we’ve built a handsome tomb, 
 And roses on her bosom bloom,— 
 
 Yet, Sister, shall we never lave, 
 
 With tears the sod upon her grave ? 
 
 (h) OUR FATHER — JAMES A. PAXTON. 
 
 At thirty-seven, our father died; 
 
 He then was just in manhood’s pride. 
 
 An orphan boy, without a home, 
 
 He left Virginia’s vale to roam. 
 
 He crossed the mountains— wandered west, 
 And in Kentucky’s wilds found rest. 
 
 The boy was handsome and refined, 
 
 Of cultivated heart and mind; — 
 
 His diligence prepared the way, 
 
 By which his genius gained the day; 
 
 His eloquence and words of fire, 
 
 To noble deeds all hearts inspire; 
 
 Success secured him wealth and fame, 
 
 With high position, friends and name ;

 In person, portly, tall and straight — 
 
 Of stately mien and measured gait; 
 
 An eye that photographed the soul; 
 
 A voice adapted to control; 
 
 A mind with full, well-ordered store 
 Of legal and historic lore — 
 
 He wielded power in peace or war — 
 
 In tented field or courtly bar. 
 
 To every eager, worthy youth, 
 
 Possessed of energy and truth, 
 
 He ever proved a sterling friend, 
 
 To aid, encourage or defend.*

 A soldier in his country’s cause; 
 
 A Jurist, deeply versed in laws; 
 
 And last,— and this is praise sublime — 
 
 A gentleman of olden time. 
 
 Our father was not yet content; 
 
 On higher ends his soul was bent. 
 
 Alas, he did not fill his dreams, 
 
 For death disorganized his schemes. 
 
 The first act scarcely closed, before 
 The curtain fell to rise no more. 
 
 The leaves of ivy, fern and moss, 
 
 Our father’s sacred tomb emboss, 
 
 And no one now can read the half 
 Of what was once his epitaph; — 
 
 So sister, we, as children true, 
 
 Must ’grave that epitaph anew. 
 
 ( i ) OUR BROTHER — MARSHALL PAXTON. 
 
 My Sister, when our father died, 
 
 Four hapless orphans wept and sighed; 
 
 Now two the heavenly harvest reap, 
 
 While you and I are left to weep. 
 
 But, Sister, ’tis a cheering thought, 
 
 That all in Christian love were taught, 
 
 And all possessed that faith whose power 
 Consoled our mother’s dying hour. 
 
 Our brother, Marshall, from a child 
 Was frank, affectionate and mild. 
 
 *1 hope my filial pride will be pardoned for introducing the following passage 
 from a letter to me, of the venerable Lewis Collins, author of the History of Kentucky, 
 dated Maysville, Ky., February 21,1860: “I suppose you were too young to have a 
 very distinct recollection of your father. He was a man of very superior talents — re¬ 
 markably bland and courteous in his manners, and possessed of remarkably strong 
 sympathies for poor young men, who were moral in their habits, and of persevering 
 and energetic characters; and those sympathies seemed to be still stronger when such 
 young men had been left orphans in childhood. When I bought the Eagle establish¬ 
 ment in 1820,— then a very poor, struggling boy, he encouraged me, not only with ex¬ 
 cellent eounsel and kind and hearty shake of the hand, when I met him, but freely 
 opened his purse to me. On one occasion when severely pressed, I asked him for the 
 loan of 850 for a week. He instantly pulled out his pocket book, and said : ‘ Here are 
 850, and you shall have fifty more — or a hundred more, not for a week only, but for 
 six weeks, or six months, if you need it.' Such kindness, my young friend, is rare. I 
 shall never forget your father.

 THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 (244) MARIA MARSHALL — ( PaxtOYl ). 
 
 By nature generous and true,— 
 
 His soul no selfish instinct knew. 
 
 No envy, jealousy, nor pride 
 Could in his humble heart abide; 
 
 But right and conscience governed there, 
 And made his dealings just and fair. 
 Designed by nature to succeed, 
 
 He chose a merchant’s life to lead. 
 
 Success crowned every venture made, 
 
 And showed new avenues of trade. 
 
 His diligence secured him wealth, 
 
 But with it came the loss of health. 
 
 From active life he sought for rest, 
 
 And found it on his Savior’s breast. 
 
 His sainted wife, heart-broken here, 
 
 Soon joined him in the upper sphere. 
 
 Their only daughter, young and fair, 
 Received no more a parent’s care; 
 
 But good grand-parents kindly smiled, 
 
 And as their darling reared the child. 
 
 Ah, gentle Lydia, sweet and fair, (2164) 
 Thou art the child of many a prayer! 
 Though thou art now in widow’s weeds, 
 And thy dear heart in sorrow bleeds, 
 
 Yet cheering light ere long shall shine, 
 Upon those noble sons of thine, 
 
 Whose good and brilliant deeds shall claim 
 NeAV lustre for the “Blackburn” name. 
 
 (j) OUR SISTER — MARY IIARBESON. 
 
 In memory’s first and earliest place, 
 
 I see a form of sylph-like grace — 
 
 I hear a soft melodious voice, 
 
 That makes my raptured soul rejoice; 
 
 And even now that figure seems 
 The beau-ideal of my dreams. 
 
 ’Tis thus, within my heart, I find 
 My sister Mary’s form enshrined. 
 
 The angel mantle mother wore, 
 
 Her first-born daughter meekly bore; 
 
 Her comely form and shining face 
 Her gentle words and polished grace 
 Were sure her visitors to please, 
 
 And make the timid feel at ease. 
 
 Her meek-dark eye, with silent prayer, 
 Asked trust, affection, help and care. 
 
 A charmed enthusiast in flowers, 
 
 Her home was hid with fragrant bowers. 
 The choicest fruits, the season round, 
 
 Were in her teeming garden found; 
 
 And at her table, richly spread, 
 
 Her welcome friends and kindred fed. 
 
 She loved her home —she loved the noise 
 Of romping, laughing girls and boys; 
 
 But loved still more the house of prayer, 
 
THE MARSHALL FAMILY. 
 
 155 
 
 (244) MARIA MARSHALL— (Paxton). 
 
 And longed to meet her brethren there. 
 
 Her faith and zeal were uniform; 
 
 When others failed, her love grew warm; 
 When waves of unbelief increase, 
 
 Her anchored spirit rides in peace; 
 
 And when death’s angry waters roll, 
 
 The oil ot peace sustains her soul. 
 
 Our sister Mary’s memory needs 
 No stone to tell her noble deeds, 
 
 For every heart that shared her alms, 
 
 Her name and memory embalms. 
 
 Her children rise, her name to bless, 
 
 And give her praise for their success. 
 
 And you and I, while life shall last, 
 
 On memory’s shrine will incense cast; 
 
 And at her grave, and on her urn, 
 
 Love’s vestal lamp shall always burn. 
 
 Now sister, wipe away that tear; 
 
 The glad reunion day is near. 
 
 For three-score years the cross we’ve borne; 
 But soon we’ll cease to toil and mourn, 
 
 Our longing spirits soon shall rise 
 To join the loved ones in the skies. 
 
 And even now, my raptured eye 
 Beholds a scene performed on high: 
 
 Our father sits at Adam’s feet, 
 
 And hears the patriarch repeat 
 The story of his early bliss, 
 
 When Eve first thrilled him with her kiss. 
 There, mother, near the Savior stands, 
 
 To claim a blessing from His hands. 
 
 He sweetly smiles and bids her bow, 
 
 And sets a crown upon her brow. 
 Contentment, hope and trust I trace 
 In Brother Marshall’s beaming face, 
 
 As in the Book of Life he reads 
 
 The names of loved ones and their deeds. 
 
 And there I see, ’mid fragrant bowers, 
 
 Our Sister Mary crowned with flowers; — 
 Her duty is, with angel throngs, 
 
 To pass the days in sports and songs. 
 
 But lo! 1 hear a gladsome voice 
 That makes the listening saints rejoice; 
 
 The guardian angels who, on earth, 
 
 Have watched our pathway from our birth, 
 Their duties done, to heaven have sped, 
 Announcing you and I are dead, 
 
 And that our happy spirits wait 
 Our friends and kindred at the gate. 
 
 Our mother casts her crown away, 
 
 Our sister leaves her comrades gay, . 
 
 Our father springs upon his feet, 
 
 Our brother leaves in haste his seat,

 And all, in ecstacies of joy, 
 
 Their never-tiring wings employ, 
 
 To bear them to the pearly door, 
 
 And glad reunion ever-more. 
 
 If, Sister, half of this is true, 
 
 And if, by death, we may renew 
 The broken ties of earthly love, 
 
 And all the dear ones find above; 
 
 And there while endless ages roll, 
 Unbounded love shall fill the soul,— 
 Then Death, thou hast no sting for me, 
 And grave, thou hast no victory. 
 
 (fc) THE PAXTON FAMILY. 
 
 About 1730 the Paxtons, with the Houstons and others settled 
 in Pennsylvania. They were from the North of Ireland, and Pres¬ 
 byterians. When the “Borden Tract,” in Augusta, now Rock¬ 
 bridge County, was opened for settlement about 1740, a widow with 
 five children removed to Rockbridge. Two of her children died 
 young, and her three sons 1, Jolm; 2, William, and 3, Thomas 
 Paxton survived. These are the progenitors of the Virginia Paxtons.

 cultivated a large farm, and transmitted a fine estate to his children. 
 He did not trouble himself about politics, and had no ambition for 
 office. Aunt Jane was his step-sister, daughter of his father’s 
 second wife. Aunt Jane was ail intelligent and accomplished lady, 
 and like Solomon’s “ virtuous woman ” devoted her attention to her 
 prosperous household. I do not now remember having ever met her 
 away from her home. Uncle Charles was my guardian, and I could 
 not have had a better one. He charged no commission for his ser¬ 
 vices. His will grants all his property to his widow, and, at her 
 death, to be divided among his children.

 erine Calloway Hickman, b. Jan. 12, 1812; yet living in Louis¬ 
 ville, Ky. L T ncle James was six feet three inches tall, and was 
 called “Long James,” to distinguish him from a cousin of the 
 same name. When I saw him last, about 1864, he weighed about 
 225 jiounds, and was as handsome an old gentleman as I ever met. 
 His urbane manners and interesting conversation greatly attracted 
 me. He studied law in Columbus, with my father, but never prac¬ 
 ticed. His father granted his two sons, James and Samuel, their 
 shares of his property undivided, and by deed provided that the 
 survivor should take the whole. Upon the death of Samuel, Uncle 
 James, therefore, took a double portion. After marriage, he spent 
 a short time in Paris, and then removed to his fine estate on Mill 
 Creek, in Mason County. Here he built a fine house, and lived 
 until about 1836, when he returned to Paris, and engaged in milling 
 and other pursuits. But his large estate melted away through im¬ 
 providence and the gaming table. In 1852 he found himself impover¬ 
 ished, and removed with his family, to Milwaukee. But fiuding 
 himself rather a burden than a support to his family, he left them, 
 returned to Kentucky and taught school for a support on the prop¬ 
 erty he once owned. Honest and generous to a fault, he wronged 
 no one but himself and family. His children are intelligent and 
 capable, and will rise from their embarrassments. Aunt Catherine 
 was regarded as one of the most beautiful women of Kentucky, 
 and her childreu are remarkable for the same quality. She is now 
 old and embecile. Her daughter, Kate, takes care of her. I visited 
 her in 1884, and found her body and mind were a wreck, and her 
 voice was scarcely audible. She is the daughter of John L. Hick¬ 
 man and Mary Calloway, of Bourbon Co., Ky. It is fortunate that 
 she has in her old age, children whose care and affection can sustain 
 her. May God bless them.

 mony being in joint tenancy with his brother James, the latter in¬ 
 herited a double portion of his father’s estate.

 ^ Ky., January 7, 1808; d. in Franklinton, Ohio, January 7, 
 1825, = in Columbus, Ohio, April 7, 1824, William Starling 
 Sullivant, b. January 15, 1803; d. in Columbus, April 30, 1873. 
 Aunt Jane was a delicate, pure, fair and lovely girl. She went with 
 my mother to Columbus, was married and lived in Franklinton. 
 Seventeen days after the birth of her first and only child, the fragile 
 flower was crushed; but the fragrance of her memory still cheers 
 many hearts. The child — as sweet and seraphic as her mother — 
 yet lives to honor and adorn the name that both bore. 
 
 William S. Sullivant was educated at Ohio University, and fin¬ 
 ished his literary course at Yale College. As a classical and scien¬ 
 tific scholar, he had few superiors. The degree of L. L. D. was 
 conferred on him by Kenyon College. In the department of Bot¬ 
 any, he was a proficient. The study of this science was his life- 
 work, and the numerous dissertations published by him testify to his 
 diligence and ability. He was handsome, dignified and courteous; 
 took an active part in the educational enterprises of his times, and 
 by his public spirit and munificence, did much to advance the ma¬ 
 terial interests of Columbus. As the husband of my aunt, I often 
 visited his house in my boyhood, and venerated him as a scholar, 
 financier, scientist and gentleman. 
 
 Mr. Sullivant was three times married, and his brother Joseph, 
 now dead, in 1874, published a “Family Memorial,” which is a 
 treasure-house of heraldic lore, and an imperishable monument to 
 many distinguished families. On its classic pages and ancient rec¬ 
 ords I have often drawn. 
 
 THE SULLIVANT FAMILY. 
 
 ( b ) Michael Sullivant, of Mecklinburg Co., Va., is the first of 
 the name that distinctly appears. He married Hannah Lucas, and 
 left three children: 1, Lucas; 2, Michael, and 3, Anne. The latter 
 married a Lucas; Michael was drowned, unmarried, and Lucas was 
 left to transmit the name. He was born in Mecklenburg Co., Va., 
 September, 1765 ; removed, when a youth, to Kentucky ; engaged 
 in surveying; became an enterprising backwoodsman ; removed to 
 Ohio in 1797, and settled on the Sciota; laid off Franklinton; en¬ 
 gaged in many enterprises for the public good; laid the foundation 
 for the future wealth of his family, and died August 8, 1823. U f

 Bettie Yost. Mr. Marshall’s career is a part of the history of 
 Kentucky, and I shall notice only the leading events of his life. He 
 was educated at home, by his learned father; went in 1821, to Vir¬ 
 ginia, to pursue the studies of law and philosophy, but failing health 
 caused him to return. In 1826, he resumed the study of law, under 
 Gov. John J. Crittenden, and in 1828 was admitted to the bar; set¬ 
 tled at Versailes; in 1829, went to Richmond, Va., to attend the 
 debates of the celebrated Constitutional Convention, over which his 
 uncle, John Marshall, presided; in 1830, went to Washington to 
 witness the proceedings of Congress; represented Woodford County 
 in the State Legislature, 1832,1838,1839 and 1851-53; represented 
 the City of Louisville, 1835 and 1836. In 1833, he removed to Louis¬ 
 ville, but in 1837 was beaten for Congress by Graves, and, in dis¬ 
 gust, returned to Woodford. In the Legislature he distinguished 
 himself as an orator, and did himself honor by his energetic opposi¬ 
 tion to the Cincinnati and Lexington R. R. bill, contending for Louis¬ 
 ville as the proper terminus. In 1841, he was elected to Congress 
 from the Ashland District. Here he distinguished himself by his 
 erratic course, as much as by his wonderful oratorical powers. In 
 1844, he deserted Mr. Clay, and voted for Polk; in 1849, he was 
 beaten for Congress by Garret Davis. In 1846, he raised a volun¬ 
 teer company and went to the Mexican war. In 1856, he removed 
 to Chicago, but soon returned. The remainder of his life was de¬ 
 voted to the practice of law, and to the delivery of public lectures

 on various topics. His great vice was intemperance; yet at times 
 he abstained from spirits, and some of his noblest efforts were in the 
 cause of sobriety. As an orator, he was unrivalled. As a states¬ 
 man, he had few equals. His brilliant literary discourses, replete 
 with classic and historic lore, filled his hearers with admiration. 
 His eloquence consisted not only of flowers of rhetoric, but of the 
 fruit of untiring thought and logical analysis. His choicest pas¬ 
 sages were bolts forged in seclusion, and thoroughly burnished for 
 the occasion. Though his wit, humor and pathos seemed only on 
 the surface, yet in truth they were drawn patiently from the deep¬ 
 est mines, and refined in the crucible of profoundest thought. Mr. 
 Marshall was six feet two inches tall, erect, and well proportioned. 
 His speeches and writings were gatherd by W. L. Barre, and pub¬ 
 lished before his death. He was buried on the “ Buckpond ” estate, 
 under a tree that he had pointed out. 
 
 Mr. Marshall married late in life, and his widow is, perhaps, yet 
 alive; but I have inquired in vain for her home.

 February 20, 1864. After receiving instruction at his father’s 
 private school, Mr. Marshall spent several years with his Aunt 
 Trigg, near Frankfort, Ky. Visiting Virginia, he married Ann, 
 daughter of Gen. Henry Lee, (Lighthorse Harry) and settled in 
 Baltimore, first as a preacher, and then as a lawyer; was Chancellor 
 of the city; United States District Attorney; was regarded as one 
 of the most able jurists of the day; was a Republican in politics. 
 After his wife’s death in 1864, he removed to Missouri, and pur¬ 
 chased a farm near Wakesha; after a few years, removed to Cali¬ 
 fornia, and purchased a ranche, where he died. Mrs. Bullitt, (900) 
 his niece spent several years with him in Baltimore, and pronounces 
 him the most intellectual, as well as the most moral and unimpeach¬ 
 able member of the family.

 Gillespie, (see No. 68/) who died childless, one year after mar¬ 
 riage. Dr. Marshall was a handsome gentleman, and a chaste and 
 forcible speaker. Under his father’s tuition he became a classical 
 scholar. His scientific and medical course commenced under the 
 celebrated Surgeon, Dr. Ephraim McDowell, and was finished at 
 Transylvania University. In the medical department of Transyl¬ 
 vania, he, at one time, filled a chair. He settled in Nicholasville, and 
 for many years, was a leading physician and politician. He was a 
 member of the State Constitutional Convention of 1849; held the 
 office of Grand Master of the I. O. O. F.; was elected to Congress 
 1855. In 1848 he left Nicholasville, and lived for a time, on a farm 
 on the road to Lexington, Jessamine County; removed to the vicin¬ 
 ity of St. Louis; here his son John was killed by a horse; removed 
 to the vicinity of Independence, Mo.; when the war broke out he 
 returned to Kentucky, and spent the remainder of his life with his 
 son Louis, on a farm in Fayette County. He was buried at Lex¬ 
 ington.

 John Campbell Marshall, b. at “ Buckpond,” Woodford 
 Co., Ky., about 1813; = Rebecca Wood, of Ohio. Both 
 yet live on a farm in the vicinity of Independence, Mo. Cousin 
 John lived with his father until about 1857. I knew him well in his 
 early manhood. Like his father he liked to visit around among his 
 relatives. He was a plain, sensible and agreeable man, devoid of 
 ambition ; and was regarded as an old bachelor from his boyhood. 
 But, that he might have a home, he actually got married. When I 
 was at Danville in 1836-38, he paid us several visits. He had just 
 enough of life in him to make us a pleasant companion at the fire¬ 
 side. I sometimes hear of the old gentleman at Independence, but 
 he wont reply to my letters. He is one of the eight grandchildren 
 of Col. Thomas Marshall, yet living. 
 
 I will here remark that between Dr. Alex and John, there was 
 another son of Dr. Louis Marshall, named Charles, who attained his 
 majority, studied law, and died before he entered on the practice. 
 He was a brilliant youth.

 married a classmate of mine at Center College. After graduating 
 at Danville in 1838, he attended the law department of Transylva¬ 
 nia University; settled in Louisville, and practiced law; represented 
 the city in the Legislature in 1850; was Judge of the City Chan¬ 
 cery Court; held a professorship in the Louisville Law School. He 
 was a member of the Chamberlain Literary Society at Danville, and 
 took a zealous and active part in its exercises. He was regarded as 
 a talented and promising young man, but he entered but little into 
 society. He appeared too much absorbed in his own meditations to 
 be an agreeable companion. With his wife, he was buried at Frank¬ 
 fort. 
 
 OPP Edward (Ned) Colston Marshall, b. at “Buckpond,” 
 Woodford Co., Ky., about 1820, = about 1852, Josephine 
 Chalfant, of Ohio, sister of the wife of Senator Pugh. Both are 
 living in San Francisco. Edward received a general, or perhaps uni¬ 
 versal education — if he was ever educated at all — at home, at 
 Washington College, Virginia, at Center College, Kentucky, and at 
 Transylvania, Lexington, Ky.; practiced at Nicholasville, Ky.; 
 went to Cincinnati; was wounded in a duel with a Mr. Ward, of 
 Missouri, January 19, 1847; appointed First Lieutenant 1st U. S. 
 Infantry, April 9, 1847; went to the Mexican war; made Captain, 
 May 6, 1848, dismissed May 22, 1848; went with the first flood of 
 emigrants to California in 1849; in 1851 was elected to Congress; 
 returned to Kentucky in 1856; purchased “Buckpond,” of his 
 father, and still owns it; October 6, 1870, commenced, with others, 
 the Lexington Daily Press] ran as an independent candidate for 
 Congress, and was defeated by Joe Blackburn; returned to Califor¬

 In 1837, Ned was my room and bed-mate at Judge Green’s man¬ 
 sion, near Damille, Ky. He was an “irregular” in College, as he 
 has been everywhere; he attended to everything but his duties; sel¬ 
 dom looked at his lessons, but always had a plausible excuse, until

 President Young told him that one that was good at making excuses 
 Avas good at nothing else; issued in manuscript, a Aveekly paper called 
 the “ College RevieAV,” which produced a wonderful sensation among 
 the students; I Avas myself implicated as publisher. At length he 
 was called before the faculty, and admonished that his “ tenure ” at 
 college was very “precarious”; he used these terms, repeating them 
 constantly for several days; their definitions Avere his first lessons in 
 law. He Avas one of the brightest, readiest and wittiest youths I 
 ever met; was perfectly independent of rules and laws; though in* 
 dolent in his habits, he was active and energetic under excitement; 
 Avas the sprightliest boy in college; studied nothing, but took in 
 knoAvledge by intuition. In extemporary oratory, he was more bril¬ 
 liant than his brother, Thomas F. Marshall; the difference was, that 
 the latter was a student, and the former not. I have written four 
 times to him, but have no reply. Laziness accounts for the neglect. 
 
 Charlotte J. McClung, b. near Washington, Ky., in 
 
 ^ v 1803; d. in Woodford Co., Ky., in 1840, = 1828, Thos. H. 
 Woolfolk, b. 1795; d. July 3, 1850. I do not remember ever 
 seeing Cousin Charlotte, but have often heard her spoken of as a 
 brilliant woman, but possessed of many idiosyncrasies. Her son 
 Lucien thus Avrites of her: “I remember her well as surpassing all 
 women I have ever known in mental grasp, eloquent expression, 
 warm natural affection, and lofty aspiration. But above all, she 
 was remarkable for the most delicate, quick and sensitive intuition, 
 manifesting itself in prevision, bordering on prophesy. My father 
 told me (and he was a good judge) that she was the most brilliant 
 conversationalist he ever met. He regarded her as mentally supe¬ 
 rior to any Avoman he had ever knoAvn; and, as he said, superior to 
 her brothers.” 
 
 Another son, Alexander M. Woolfolk, thus writes of his father: 
 “He (T. H. Woolfolk) was the youngest of a large family born in 
 Woodford Co., Ky. He was a lawyer by profession, but I believe 
 never practiced after his marriage. He is said to have been a very 
 promising young lawyer — being a ready and eloquent speaker; but 
 having come into the possession of a handsome fortune by inherit¬ 
 ance and marriage, the promising laAvyer degenerated into a very 
 poor farmer. His literary tastes hindered, rather than helped him.

 in his new calling. The result was that he gradually ran through 
 his patrimony. He died of cholera in 1850, at the age of 56 years, 
 on his farm in Trimble Co., Ky. He was a fine conversationalist, 
 with a remarkable power of social fascination, and of great personal 
 influence. It was his misfortune to have possessed an ample estate.”

 = at Washington, Ky., November 25, 1825, Eliza Johntson, b. 
 about 1806; d. at St. Paul, Minnesota, December 28, 1860. The 
 life of Dr. McClung has been ably written by Hon. Henry Waller, 
 of Maysville and Chicago. Mr. Waller practiced law at the Wash¬ 
 ington and Maysville bars, and sat under Mr. McClung’s ministry, 
 after he entered the pulpit, and his biography is a brilliant, as well 
 as a pious, tribute to a truly great man. It will be found as an in¬ 
 troduction to Collins’ last edition of McClung’s “ Western Adven¬ 
 ture.” Dr. McClung was educated at “ Buckpond,” by his uncle 
 Louis Marshall, and while there, united with the Presbyterian 
 Church. In 1823, he went to Princeton Seminary; graduated, and 
 was licensed in 1828. After preaching several years in Washing¬ 
 ton, Ky., he became unsettled in his religious views, and leaving the 
 church, retired to his large farm in the Ohio bottom, below Mays¬ 
 ville. Here he was engaged in literary pursuits until 1835. In 
 1830, he published a novel entitled “Camden, a tale of the South.” 
 This book brought him a world-wide reputation, but was severely 
 criticised for the profanity of some of its characters. In 1832, he 
 wrote the “ Western Adventure,” a book of thrilling interest, that 
 has enjoyed, and still enjoys, extensive sale. I was living with him, 
 as a pupil, when this volume was written, and remember his inter¬ 
 views with old settlers of Kentucky. He contributed largely to 
 Collins’ first edition of the History of Kentucky, and was esteemed 
 as one of the most chaste and forcible writers of his day. 
 
 (b ) In 1835, after studying law in private, Dr. McClung re¬ 
 moved to Washington, and at once took a front place at the bar, 
 then adorned by such names as Governor John Chambers, Francis 
 T. Hord, Henry Waller, Thomas Payne, Henry Reeder, Harrison 
 Taylor and John D. Taylor, with Judges Adam Beatty and Walker

 Reid. In 1838 and 1839, Dr. McClung represented Mason County in 
 the State Legislature, and was regarded as a leading orator and 
 statesman. In 1838, I entered the office of McClung & Taylor as a 
 student of law. I knew Dr. McClung best while under the cloud 
 of infidelity. I do not remember ever hearing from him an infidel 
 sentiment; not even in his discussions with his uncle, Lewis Mar¬ 
 shall. Indeed, he regularly asked a blessing at his table, and no 
 man was more exemplary in his words and conduct. His tender 
 conscience and childlike simplicity, with his intelligence and schol¬ 
 arship, inspired his young friends with reverential awe. His health 
 was bad, and required peculiar diet and regular exercise. He would 
 walk for miles daily, always taking the middle of the turnpike, and 
 with three foot strides he distanced all competitors. This was his 
 favorite time for reflection and meditation, and the teams he met 
 in the way had to take care of themselves. He often sat in medita¬ 
 tive mood for hours, twirling with his right hand, the long lock of 
 hair behind his ear, and clearing his throat at regular intervals. 
 These hours of abstraction were the times at which he forged the 
 bolts of eloquence and argument that afterward fell from his lips. 
 I have heard him after an hour’s meditation, recite a long poem to 
 his wife, who was his only adviser; yet I do not know that he ever 
 pulished a line of poetry. When aroused, he was genial and polite, 
 but he cared little for company, and had no intimate friend. Chess 
 was his only jmstime, and at this game he seldom found'his match. 
 
 (c) When the county seat of Mason was removed to Maysville, 
 Mr. McClung removed there. In 1849, Drs. Rice and Grundy 
 held, in that city, a protracted meeting. No one knew of Mr. Mc- 
 Clung’s change of sentiment, and there was sincere joy among his old 
 friends when, at the close of the exercises, a call was made for appli¬ 
 cants for church membership, and Mr. McClung walked deliberately 
 forward and extended his hand. A meeting of session was immedi¬ 
 ately called, and the religious views of McClung were found to fully 
 conform to the tenets of the Presbyterian church. With the congrat¬ 
 ulations of thousands, and to the sore discomfiture of disbelievers, he 
 was re-admitted to the church. It was a triumph of Christianity 
 when the most learned theologian, the most rigid logician, the 
 most sincere searcher after truth, and the brightest intellect of the 
 State, renounced infidelity, ceased his wanderings, and, as a long lost 
 lamb, returned to the fold. There was rejoicing on earth and in

 heaven. In the for West I heard of it with tears of delight, and 
 my faith was strengthened. He was ordained a second time, and 
 preached for a-few months to crowded houses in Louisville. He 
 then accepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church at Indian¬ 
 apolis, and preached there for several years. South Hanover Col¬ 
 lege conferred on him the degree of D. D. and offered him the 
 presidency of the institution. He declined the place. But his old 
 complaint, dyspepsia, the Nemesis of his life, demanded a change of 
 climate, and he visited St. Paul. After preaching at St. Paul until 
 1857 he found his health improved, and accepted a call from his old 
 church, at Maysville, Ky. But his former disease returned in a 
 more terrible form. His jaundiced complexion and plaintful coun¬ 
 tenance betrayed his suffering. He again went north for relief, an¬ 
 nouncing his purpose of trying a water cure establishment. He 
 was traced to a hotel some miles above Niagara falls, and his naked 
 body was found below the cataract. His remains were brought 
 home for interment. I visited his grave in Maysville cemetery in 
 1884, and copied the following inscription: 
 
 (i d ) “ In memory of Rev. John A. McClung, D. D., late pastor 
 
 of the Presbyterian Church, at Maysville, Ky.; born September 
 25, 1804, died August 6, 1859. How is the strong staff broken, 
 and the beautiful rod. Jer. xlviii; 17, This monument is erected 
 by members of the church, and by friends of his youth and mature 
 years, to whom he was endeared by every quality that can sanctify 
 friendship and dignify and adorn manly character.” 
 
 Dr. McClung’s will is characteristic, and I transcribe it in full: 
 
 As life is very uncertain, I do hereby declare my wife, Eliza 
 McClung, sole devisee and legatee of all my property, real and 
 personal, with all the authority of an executrix. My real estate is 
 mortgaged for the payment of my debts, with a power of sale in 
 the mortagees. Whatever may remain after payment of said debts 
 I give to my wife as her own property. I recommend to her to sell 
 instantly, all personality, including furniture, books, &c., upon a 
 credit of six months, with bond aud security ; and with the proceeds 
 pay my debts in Maysville; and with what may remain in money, 
 to remove with Nanny to St. Paul. I think she had better live with 
 her sister. May God bless the widow and orphans, for Christ’s 
 sake; Amen.

 (e) Cousin John McClung was the most conscientious man I ever 
 knew. Judge John Green, of Danville, Ivy., stands next to him in 
 purity. Both of them liberated their slaves, and by their nobility of 
 character incurred the odium of an unappreciative world. Mr. Mc¬ 
 Clung was a friend and supporter of Henry Clay, and advocated his 
 system of gradual emancipation. He was a proficient in the use of 
 words, and expessed himself so concisely and pointedly, that his mere 
 statement of a case carried conviction. He was a master in logic. 
 He followed his convictions, and no danger would cause him to 
 swerve from duty. As an orator he was more logical than eloquent. 
 He did not work upon the affections, but appealed to the judg¬ 
 ment. Truth was his aim, and conviction his purpose. In speak¬ 
 ing, he rose above his natural timidity, and throwing himself back, 
 with his thumbs in the arm holes of his vest, he poured out with 
 earnestness a pure and powerful stream of argument. What others 
 would expand into a volume, he would compress into a page. He 
 never used a sophism —never violated truth, nor resorted to artifice 
 to secure success. He therefore possessed the boundless confidence 
 of the people. Though his patrimony was large and his practice 
 extensive, yet he seldom charged for his service one half their value, 
 and dispensed with a liberal hand; so that in age and affliction 
 he found himself impoverished. I never heard him preach after his 
 return to the church. Even yet, after his body has lain in the 
 grave more than a quarter of a century, the fragrance of his mem¬ 
 ory cheers many hearts. When I visited his grave in 1884, a 
 stranger overheard me ask the sexton to point out to me Dr. Mc- 
 Clung’s monument. As I was transcribing the epitaph, that 
 stranger saluted me, and inquired who it was that visited the grave 
 of his beloved pastor. He detained me a half hour to pour forth 
 in tears the praises of his spirtual father. 
 
 ( /) Cousin Eliza McClung was a lovely woman. She possessed 
 the literary taste and the womanly accomplishments that her learned 
 husband required of a companion. She was a kind mother to me, 
 in the months of loneliness I spent at the old Orr mansion.

 (a) Col. Alexander Keith McClung, b. in Mason Co., 
 
 Ky., 1811, committed suicide at Jackson, Miss., March 23, 
 1855. He was a scholar, orator and soldier, but noted chiefly as a 
 duelist. He attended the school of his uncle, Louis Marshall (70), 
 but at the age of fourteen, escaped punishment by leaping from a 
 window and flying to his home; served as a midshipman in the navy; 
 studied law, and at the age of twenty went to Mississippi; went to 
 the Mexican war as Lieutenant Colonel of a Mississippi regiment; 
 was severely wounded at the assault of Monterey, by a minie ball 
 penetrating his hip, from which he suffered the remainder of his life; 
 was Charge d’Affairs to Bolivia in 1843-51; resumed practice in 
 Jackson, Miss.; became celebrated as an orator and statesman, and 
 admired as an elegant writer. His eulogy of Henry Clay is regarded 
 as a masterpiece of chaste rhetoric and pure composition. Tall, dig¬ 
 nified and reserved, he united the soft timidity of the gazelle with 
 the fearless intrepidity of the tiger. As a friend he was true, and 
 as an enemy he was relentless. One of his nephews has kindly fur¬ 
 nished me with an account of several of his duels: 
 
 “ While in the navy, Midshipman McClung, when only sixteen, 
 accepted a challenge, which resulted in his receiving a broken arm. 
 His antagonist was known as a “ dead shot.” He knew that his only 
 chance of life was for the bone of his arm to catch the ball intended for 
 his heart, he therefore fired from his hip and let his arm be broken. At 
 eighteen he fought his second duel; received the fire of his chal¬ 
 lenger, and he himself fired in the air. I know little of the circum¬ 
 stances under which he killed Baker. But I have been told of his 
 magnanimous avoidance of a duel when nineteen years of age. At 
 a party of young men, high words passed between Mr. McClung and a 
 friend. The latter was the aggressor, but had been rebuffed and 
 placed in the attitude that, by the code, he had to challenge, or be 
 disgraced. To avoid trouble and relieve his friend, McClung pre¬ 
 sumed on his well-known character for courage, and went late at 
 night to his adversary’s room, and knocked for admittance. “ Who

 swer. “ What do you want? ” was sternly demanded. “ I want to 
 sleep with you,” was the reply. The door was opened; without a 
 word of explanation they slept together, breakfasted side by side 
 in the morning, and appeared arm in arm on the street. 
 
 He went to Mississippi at twenty years of age, where every man 
 of spirit had to fight. He was soon, though not by his fault, involved 
 in a duel which he never ceased to regret. Col. Allen was a chival¬ 
 rous gentleman and a noted duelist. He showed many courtesies to 
 young McClung, and they were cordial friends. But a difficulty 
 arose between a desperado and a young man lately arrived. The youth 
 was challenged, and was advised that the companions of the challenger 
 would murder him in case he killed their friend. The young man 
 could get no second until advised to ask McClung, who accepted, 
 with the determination to see a fair duel. The parties met. A crowd 
 of desperate men were standing around. McClung told them that, 
 by the terms agreed on, they were excluded, and requested all to re¬ 
 tire beyond a neighboring fence. After some hesitation all started, 
 except Col. Allen. He swore that he would stand where he was. 
 McClung held the pistols, charged and cocked for the duel. He 
 stepped up to Allen, and placing both pistols to his breast, ordered 
 him to retire. This he did, swearing vengeance. A challenge came, 
 and with it time, place and weapons were fixed. They were to meet 
 in an eighty acte lot full of bushes, each armed with four pistols and 
 a bowie knife. At the word they were to advance, using their weap¬ 
 ons at pleasure. McClung accepted both challenge and terms. He 
 remarked that he would shoot Allen in the head, and the result 
 proved his markmanship. At the word McClung advanced slowly, 
 but Allen rushed precipitately. McClung waited until Allen raised 
 his pistol and then fired. Throwing down the empty weapon, a sec¬ 
 ond pistol was presented; but before he drew the trigger, Allen 
 plunged forward and fell. The ball had entered his mouth, and he 
 died a few days later. 
 
 McClung’s duel with John Menifee occurred at Vicksburg, Miss., 
 December 29,1839. The weapons were rifles, and the distance thirty 
 paces. It grew out of a youthful frolic. Some boys had stolen, in 
 mischief, their clothes while bathing. Menifee caught one of them 
 and was beating him unmercifully, when McClung interfered. Men¬ 
 ifee’s rage was turned on him, but McClung, being an expert

 pugilist, warded off the blows. After he had sufficiently put up 
 with Menifee’s violence, he gave him a severe blow, which ended the 
 combat. A week later Menifee came on him with a club, and tak¬ 
 ing him unawares, beat him frightfully. Bystanders interfered, and 
 picked up the almost lifeless form and bore it away. As he was led 
 off, Menifee kicked him in contempt. This last indignity was more 
 than McClung could bear. McClung had promised his mother he 
 would never again give a challenge. He therefore notified Menifee 
 that he would shoot him whenever they might meet. His 
 known dexterity with the pistol, and his physical power, required 
 Menifee to challenge him. McClung therefore chose rifles, as he 
 did not desire to take any advantage of Menifee’s inexperience with 
 the pistol. At the second shot, the ball from McClung’s gun hit 
 the cock of Menifee’s gun and divided, one portion striking his fore¬ 
 head, and passing around under the scalp. He died a few days after¬ 
 ward, from concussion of the brain. In after years McClung ex¬ 
 pressed no regret for Menifee’s death, but he felt a life-long anguish 
 for the fate of Allen. 
 
 After the age of twenty-two McClung fought no more duels. 
 His formidable reputation saved him from being challenged. But 
 in Bolivia he killed an over-bearing Englishman. Once when the 
 sheriff and posse were held at bay by an armed ruffian, he deliber¬ 
 ately walked up to him and took the pistol from his hand. In 1840 
 he edited a brilliant campaign paper, and Harrison made him Mar¬ 
 shal of the Northern District of the State. He afterward ran for 
 Congress, but the Democratic majority was too strong to be over¬ 
 come. 
 
 McClung was noble, generous and chivalrous. The public sen¬ 
 timent of the times, and the lawless condition of Mississippi, made 
 the falsely named “ code of honor ” more imperative than the crim¬ 
 inal law, and McClung was its victim. When a boy, I often met him- 
 He was the cousin of both my father and my mother, and I loved 
 him dearly. He was possessed of a sweet, gentle nature, that seemed 
 imperturbable; but under excitement, his temper knew no law. His 
 sensitive regard to public censure, and the rebellious voice of con¬ 
 science drove him nearly mad. Life became a galling burden. Re¬ 
 morseful and despairing thoughts drove sleep from his couch. His 
 feelings are fully expressed in an ode which he wrote in contempla-

 tiou of the end of his sufferings. A Mississippi paper thus alludes 
 to him and his poem: 
 
 McClung had a genius of the first order; was honored, loved and 
 almost worshipped. Wearied of life, disappointed and satiated, he 
 wooed the embraces of death. With the hope of being slain, he enlisted 
 in the Mexican war. His gallantry on the battle field of Monterey is 
 known to all. He was severely wounded, but death came not to his re¬ 
 lief. At Buena Vista, he was carried on a litter to the battle-field, and 
 he exposed his life again. But death still eluded him, and refused to 
 recognize his earnest votary. Despairing of finding death on the battle 
 field, he returned to Mississippi and lived until life became a burden to 
 him, and then committed suicide by blowing out his brains. A few 
 months before his death, he wrote the following lines, overflowing with 
 vocal and rythmic liquidity. It is the melody of despair,— the last lay 
 of the minstrel: 
 
 ODE TO DEATH. 
 
 Swiftly speed o’er the waves of time, 
 
 Spirit of Death; 
 
 In manhood’s home, in youthful prime, 
 
 I woo thy breath. 
 
 For the fading hues of hope have fled, 
 
 Like the dolphin’s light; 
 
 And dark are the clouds above my head, 
 
 As the starless night. 
 
 Oh, vainly the voyager sighs for the rest 
 Of the peaceful haven,— 
 
 The pilgrim saint for the homes of the blest, 
 
 And the calm of heaven; 
 
 The galley slave for the night-winds breath, 
 
 At burning noon; 
 
 But more gladly I’d spring to thy arms, 0, Death, 
 
 Come soon, come soon!

 notorious Isaac Desha was tried before him, and condemned to death, 
 but escaped from his place of confinement. He visited Kentucky 
 about 1858. One of his sons was killed in the late civil war. His 
 last wife left six children, but I have failed in my efforts to get into 
 correspondence with them.

 life in literary ease, dispensing generous hospitality to a large circle 
 of gay and sportive friends. He was sorely distressed by the war; 
 opposed secession; worked faithfully for reconciliation, casting his 
 influence for the Union. He did not live to see the close of the war. 
 
 Mrs. Duke is now in her 80th year. She still owns the farm in¬ 
 herited from her father. It is one of the largest and most fertile 
 farms in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. But from the infirmi¬ 
 ties of age she found it necessary to rent it out, and now lives in 
 Georgetown. I visited her in July, 1884, and was surprised to find 
 one of her age so hale and hearty. She superintends her household,

 shown him. He left but one child, now the heroic and accomplished 
 Gen. Basil Wilson Duke, of Louisville.

 THE CURRIES. 
 
 James Currie, father of Mrs. Duke, was a native of Scotland, 
 and came to Virginia after having served for some years as an offi¬ 
 cer in the British Navy. His uucle, Dr. James Currie, had pre¬ 
 viously settled in North Carolina, and had removed thence to Vir-

 ginia. Having no children, he invited his nephew, Janies Currie, 
 and his sister, to Y T irginia, and made them his heirs. This Dr. Cur¬ 
 rie, of North Carolina, was a nephew of the celebrated James Cur¬ 
 rie, of Edinburg, well known ns the editor of Burns’ poems. 
 
 The younger James Currie married in Richmond, Va., October 
 14, 1807, Caroline Rives Pickett. They were the parents of Mary 
 Currie [Duke], and her older sister, who married William Burnett, 
 of Cincinnati. See Pickett’s Chart, No. 64.

 of John M. Morton and Lucy Baylor. She died about 1864. Dr. 
 J. M. Duke was educated at the private school of his uncle, Louis 
 Marshall; studied medicine with his brother-in-law, Dr. J. F. Henry; 
 attended lectures at Transylvania University, and in 1832 graduated 
 at the Medical College of Ohio. Full of ambition and hope, Dr. 
 Duke started on a career of honor, usefulness and success, in the 
 town of Washington, Ky. I remember his debut well, for I was 
 one of his first patients. In 1832 he physicked me through the se¬ 
 verest spell of sickness I ever experienced. After a short time, he 
 settled in Maysville, where his life-work was done. His devotion to 
 his profession and the interest he manifested in the advancement of 
 medical science, placed him at once among the leading physicians of 
 Kentucky. But after the death of his wife, he lost his energy and 
 ambition.

 write of the olden times. I have many letters from her which show 
 not only literary taste and culture, but a heart full of tenderness. 
 Reared in the Presbyterian Church, she is distinguished for piety 
 and good works. During the war, her charity manifested itself in 
 sympathy and kindness to hundreds of Confederate soldiers impris¬ 
 oned at Rock Island.

 his large inheritance called him away from professional pursuits. 
 His magnificent stock farm demanded his attention, and literary 
 pastimes, conviviality and field sports became his ambition. He was 
 fond of shooting and fishing, and frequent hunting parties were held 
 on his estate. In one of his excursions, he visited Rock Island, Ill., 
 and was delighted with the country and the opportunities for manly 
 sports that it afforded. He therefore sold his Kentucky possessions, 
 and in the fall of 1853, removed to Rock Island, that he might en¬ 
 joy his favorite amusements. But in 1866, he became affected with 
 some disease of the kidneys, and visited St. Louis, to consult the 
 best physicians as to his case. Here at the house of his nephew, 
 Basil Duke, he was taken with a congestive chill, and died without 
 regaining consciousness. His remains lie in Rock Island cemetery, 
 and his handsome monument contains no other epitaph but his name 
 and the dates of his birth and death. See No. 282.

 sin Jane in her maiden beauty and loveliness. She married my law 
 preceptor, and participated in his civic honors. But when Mr. Tay¬ 
 lor died, she was astounded to learn that he had left nothing for his 
 family. She lives in Maysville, Ky., and is made comfortable by 
 the help of her sons. 
 
 Harrison Taylor commenced the practice of law in Washington, 
 Ky., about 1835, as the partner of Mr. McClung ( 272 ). They re¬ 
 moved to Maysvilie when it became the county seat of Mason 
 County, and were the leading firm when Mr. McClung gave up the 
 practice, in 1849. Mr. Taylor still practiced up to the time of his 
 death. No man ever enjoyed public confidence in a higher degree. 
 His pleasant, engaging manners, his humble and unassuming address, 
 his diffidence and politeness, inspired confidence, and made him an 
 universal favorite. A Whig in early life, a Union man in the war, 
 and a Democrat after its close, he was always with the majority in 
 his county. He was elected to the State Senate, 1857-61; to the 
 House in 1836, 1861, 1865-66-67. The two last sessions he was 
 Speaker of the House. I last saw him in 1872. He had then be-

 County.

 the Presbyterian Church, b. December 2, 1805; d. February 17, 
 1856. I have many letters from Cousin Anna K. Royall, — most 
 of them written in the last year of her life. She was one of God’s 
 chosen spirits, and lived, labored and loved that others might be 
 happy. She wrote me that she was very deaf and nearly blind; 
 yet her letters were long, and she begged me not to break off the 
 correspondence. She longed for companionship, and proposed to 
 support and remunerate any agreeable lady that would become her 
 constant associate. She delighted to have her grand children stay 
 with her, and feared their removal from her. To the last, her de¬ 
 light was to teach the little ones. She possessed a bright tempera¬ 
 ment, was always happy, and enjoyed good health. She died sud¬ 
 denly, without warning, insomuch that none of her children had 
 an opportunity to be with her. 
 
 Rev. John J. Royall, D. D., was an earnest and eloquent 
 preacher. His labors still follow him. His praises are in all the 
 churches to which he ministered. He was supplying the Presby¬ 
 terian church at Petersburg when he met and married his wife. 
 He removed to Mt. Ephraim, and as an evangelist labored through¬ 
 out adjacent parts of Virginia. But the two churches in Winches¬ 
 ter agreed to unite, on condition that Dr. Royall was called to that 
 city. After remaining there a few years, he returned to Mt. 
 Ephraim. He fell dead on his way to church to preach.

 remember her delight and proficiency in music. A friend who 
 knew the two girls writes: “Sallie and Georgia were quite ac-

 City of Louisville, 1863, 1864 and 1865; was professor of law in 
 Transylvania University, 1836 to 1849 ; celebrated his golden wed¬ 
 ding, 1866, in Louisville; twenty-four volumes of Kentucky Re¬ 
 ports attest his legal attainments. I heard a distinguished jurist 
 remark that his decisions on Aquatic rights alone would form a 
 treatise superior to any text book on the subject. His kinsman, 
 Judge James P. Harbeson, was associated with him for years, and 
 remarked to me that “ He was a Christian gentleman; a classical 
 scholar; an erudite jurist, and, altogether, the greatest and best man 
 I ever knew.” 
 
 Mrs. Marshall was said to have been the most lovely woman in 
 Kentucky. She was a grand-daughter of Col. Thomas Hart, and a 
 niece of Henry Clay. In 1883, I visited the family tomb, which 
 stands in the Lexington cemetery, under the shadow of the magnifi¬

 Eliza Marshall, a lovely sister of Judge T. A. Marshall,

 she became blind and never recovered her sight.

 The medical science was his delight, and his lectures were interest¬ 
 ing as well as learned. He was wedded to his profession, and he 
 did not marry until he was thirty-six years of age. I knew “ Cousin 
 Nic.” well, and often took his prescriptions in my boyhood. Every 
 one loved and trusted him. He was one of the finest talkers I ever 
 listened to. His health in 1857 broke down, and he retired with his 
 family to the home of his wife’s grandfather, Gen. Soward, in Min¬ 
 erva, Ky., where he died suddenly from apoplexy. The members of 
 the profession in Cincinnati and Covington passed highly compli¬ 
 mentary resolutions on the occasion. His will is recorded in Mays- 
 ville, Ky.; is dated November 14, 1853, probated August 9, 1858, 
 and grants all his property to his widow, whom he appoints guar¬ 
 dian of his children.

 She was a remarkable woman for sound judgment, and was certainly 
 an accomplished lady in her prime. I acquired much genealogical

 1836, Sarah Gosnelle Vowell, daughter of John C. Vowell, of 
 Alexandria, Va. She still lives at Alexandria. Mr. Smith received 
 his professional education at the law school of Judge Tucker, at 
 Winchester, Va. After practicing a few years in Virginia, he 
 removed to Louisville, Ky., and by his intelligence, eloquence, 
 energy and spirit, was fast rising to distinction. But in 1842 he 
 determined to return to his native state. He settled at Alexandria, 
 among friends and relatives, and there entered upon a successful 
 practice, and found fame and distinction, as well as fortune. He 
 was in the Legislature; member of the City Council; and City 
 Attorney. He was employed in nearly every important case in the 
 City Courts and was highly esteemed by his associates, for his 
 suavity in private, and his courtesy to bench and bar. An orator 
 and logician by nature, he was well read in classical literature, in 
 philosophy and in lffw. To these acquirements he added untiring 
 energy and consummate tact. His character was an element of suc¬ 
 cess, and called for love as well as admiration. 
 
 Mr. Smith was trained in the Christian faith, and became a 
 zealous and efficient member of The Episcopal Church. In his will 
 he leaves this testimony: 
 
 “To my beloved children, I urgently recommend the divine pre¬ 
 cepts, contained in the Holy Scriptures, as the only safe rule for their 
 conduct, to guide and sustain them amidst the cares and trials of time, 
 and to secure to them a blessed immortality.” 
 
 He was the personal friend and attorney for Gen. R. E. Lee, 
 and brought the suit for the Arlington estate. He opposed seces¬ 
 sion, but when Virginia went out he joined his fortunes with the 
 State to which he owed allegiance, and went South with his family. 
 On his return, he found his residence had been turned into a hospi¬ 
 tal, and his property almost destroyed. But with energy he took 
 hold of his professional business and soon retrieved his fortunes. 
 His widow and children have piously published a small memorial 
 volume in his honor.

 ing at Theological Seminary, near Alexandria, Va. At the time of 
 his father’s death in 1832, he was pursuing his studies at the Uni¬ 
 versity of Virginia. But owing to the small estate left for the sup¬ 
 port of the family, and the need of his help at home, he returned 
 to Warrenton. Through the influence of Gov. Gamble of Florida, 
 he obtained a situation in that territory, and remained there for sev¬ 
 eral years. But his health failing, he joined his brother Robert, 
 (182,) who had gone to Mobile, Ala. Here he found a place in the 
 bank of Mobile, and was able to send a part of his salary to his 
 mother, in Warrenton. After marriage, he removed to his wife’s 
 estate in Fauquier. She possessed a part of the Oakhill farm. It 
 was well improved, and she insisted on making it their home. Here 
 they resided for fifteen years. But twelve months prior to the war 
 they sold, and removed to “ Ashland,” near Richmond. As the pur¬ 
 chase money became due, the notes were paid off in confederate 
 money, which proved of little value; and they were left in strait¬ 
 ened circumstances. Mr. Smith found employment and good wages 
 in the South during the winter, and spent his summers in Virginia. 
 In 1872, he died at Ashland, and the widow, with the purpose of 
 educating her children, removed to Theological Semenary, Fairfax 
 Co., Va. Three of her danghters have married Episcopal ministers. 
 With the proceeds of her husband’s life insurance, she purchased 
 “ Ingleside,” and is educating her noble sons for usefulness. Her 
 youngest boy will soon complete his studies, and the happy mother 
 proposes to join her sons in forming a household in some city where 
 they will engage in business. When I was in Baltimore in August, 
 1884, the young men called to see me, and I was highly pleased 
 with their polite address and sensible conversation (1220-2). Mrs. 
 Smith, with the aid of her dutiful children, is able to live comfor-

 About 1834, Mr. Smith established himself in Mobile, Ala., in the 
 mercantile business, and prospered until the war, when he was ru¬ 
 ined. But his good name remained, and he resumed business, and 
 was doing well, when the financial crash of 1874 again overthrew 
 him. His health is not good, and his business yields him only a 
 competence. Has several children.

 been attached for seven years, in Norfolk, Va.; made a trip of a few 
 months to the Mediterranean, and, on his return in 1851, resigned 
 to accept a partnership with his brother Robert in the mercantile 
 business in Mobile, Ala.; in 1854, removed to New Orleans, and en¬ 
 gaged in the mercantile business on his own account; prospered 
 until the war commenced ; raised a regiment for the South ; was in 
 the battle of Shiloh; served afterwards in the regular artillery; was 
 taken prisoner at Port Hudson, and continued in captivity for four¬ 
 teen months; was exchanged in Charleston in 1864; served in front 
 of Richmond; was sent to Halifax on special duty, and was there 
 when the surrender took place; returned home to start anew with¬ 
 out a cent left from his fortune; his family had suffered great hard¬ 
 ships during his separation from them; made another fortune, which 
 went in the crash of 1872; nothing daunted, started again; tried 
 St. Louis, but neither the climate nor the people suited him; re¬ 
 turned to New Orleans and settled down to the insurance business; 
 he now has a comfortable income; is respected and trusted; is an 
 active promoter of all schemes of city improvement, and, by his in¬ 
 telligence and industry, has become a leading citizen of New Or¬ 
 leans. I have many interesting and scholarly letters from Col. Smith, 
 and I have been deeply impressed with his literary attainments, his 
 varied experience, and his solid good sense. Few men have seen 
 more of the world, and still fewer have passed through such trials 
 and discouragements. I owe him much for the valuable assistance 
 he has given me in the present heraldic work. 
 
 In 1884, I met Mrs. Smith and one of her daughters at Fauquier, 
 Va., Springs, her usual summer resort, and found her an exceed¬ 
 ingly prepossessing lady,— intelligent, agreeable and handsome. She 
 is a daughter of Arthur Taylor, whose grandfather came from Lon¬ 
 don, and settled in Yorktown, Va., before the Revolution. On her 
 mother’s side she is of the Saunders family of lower Virginia. Mr. 
 Smith and family spend their summers in Fauquier Co., Va.

 Anne Eliza Blackwell, b. January 5, 1822; d. November 18, 
 1854. Mr. Marshall was educated at the University of Virginia. 
 One of his letters written to his sister, Agnes, while he was attend¬ 
 ing the university, has been placed in my hands. It displays lite¬ 
 rary and epistolary talent beyond his years. It is written in chaste 
 style, and shows not only spirit and vivacity, but sound judgment. 
 If it were not so long, I would publish it as a proof of his intelli¬ 
 gence. Being the oldest son, Mr. Marshall took charge of the Oak- 
 hill estate, after he had married. Here he lived a life of a scholar 
 and literary gentleman, and by his profuse hospitality, made Oakhill 
 a home of delights. But he was unable to keep up this free and 
 liberal life, and in 1852, sold the estate to his younger brother, 
 Thomas. For a number of years he represented Fauquier County 
 in the State Legislature. He was an ardent Whig, and a zealous 
 and exemplary member of the Episcopal Church. The last two 
 years of his life were spent in Culpeper County. Here his lovely 
 and much beloved wife died in 1854. He survived her less than a 
 month, and with a broken heart followed her to the grave. Their 
 remains lie side by side in the Oakhill cemetery. He left home in 
 the morning of his death, apparently well, but had to stop at the 
 house of his friend, James Bickham, of Culpeper County, and soon 
 died. The parents of Mrs. Marshall were William Blackwell, of 
 Fauquier County, and Anne Sparke Gordon. She was much ad¬ 
 mired for her beauty and grace, as well as for her amiability.

 1884. Mrs. Taliaferro is a lovely old lady, living at “Ninondale” 
 with her widowed daughter, Agnes Maujiin. Her other children 
 have families and homes. Many letters which I have received from 
 Mrs. Taliaferro, show a tender regard and an affectionate sympathy. 
 She is deservedly proud of her home, her lineage, her husband’s 
 memory, and her children’s reputation. 
 
 Gen. Taliaferro graduated at William and Mary College, and 
 after taking the degree of A. B., attended law and other lectures

 during the sessions of 1831 and 1832, graduating in law. He had 
 an ample fortune, and after manning, he abandoned the practice of 
 law, and spent the remainder of his life on his farm. His father 
 died in 1850, and Gen. Taliaferro purchased a splendid farm in Cul¬ 
 peper County, known as “ Ninondale; ” and this is still the home¬ 
 stead of the family. 
 
 When the civil war broke out in 1861, Alex. G. Taliaferro was 
 Lieutenant Colonel of Cavalry, in the Second Military Division of 
 Virginia. He at once applied to Gov. Letcher for orders, but was 
 told that all militia officers were superceded, and new ones had been 
 appointed. Failing to get an appointment, he hastened to Harper’s 
 Ferry, and entered as a private in the company of Culpeper Minute 
 Men. But a few days later he accepted the command of a company 
 of roughs, who had fled from Baltimore on account of being impli¬ 
 cated in an attack upon the Massachusetts troops passing through 
 that city. He was assigned to Col. A. P. Hill’s regiment, and sent 
 to Romney. Returning to Winchester, he found a commission from 
 Gov. Letcher as Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry, and was assigned 
 to the Twenty-third Regiment, Third Brigade of the Stonewall Di¬ 
 vision. The command left Winchester, January 1, 1862, and made 
 a bootless expedition through Maryland with the secret purpose of 
 destroying the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and of occupying Pitts¬ 
 burg. But the design was treacherously communicated to the en¬ 
 emy, and, with the aid of cold weather and bad roads, the purpose 
 was defeated. The brigade returned, by way of Romney, to Win¬ 
 chester. At the battle of Kernstown, Col. Taliaferro’s horse was 
 killed under him. 
 
 (6) On the reorganization of the army, Col. Taliaferro was, by 
 acclamation, chosen Colonel of the Twenty-third Regiment of In¬ 
 fantry. His nephew, Gen. Wm. B. Taliaferro, was placed in com¬ 
 mand of the Third Brigade of the Stonewall Division. At the 
 battle of McDowell a second horse was killed under Col. Taliaferro. 
 At the first battle of Winchester, his sword was torn from his 
 side by a grape shot. At Port Republic he was wounded in the 
 shoulder, and from sickness was unable to take part in the fights 
 around Richmond. 
 
 While confined to his house at Culpeper Court House, with two 
 sentinels to give him warning, and his horse ready saddled for 
 ‘scape, the enemy entered the town and came to his house intent

 on capturing him. The sentinels were asleep, and were killed. He 
 was awakened by the report of guns, and a thundering upon his 
 door. At the Colonel’s suggestion, Mrs. Taliaferro looked out pf the 
 window, and asked a moment to allow her to dress. The time was 
 used by the Colonel in investing himself with full uniform —cocked 
 hat, sword and pistols. The party of soldiers was admitted at the 
 front door, after the Colonel had escaped by the back window. At 
 that time the dress of an officer of one army did not differ from 
 that of the other; and with a bold front, Col. Taliaferro walked 
 through the ranks of the enemy. Taken for a Federal officer, he 
 escaped unchallenged. 
 
 (c) On the death of Gen. Winder, Col. Taliaferro was pro¬ 
 moted to the rank of Brigadier General, and succeeded to the com¬ 
 mand of the Third Brigade through all its campaigns. On the first 
 day of the second battle of Manassas, Gen. Taliaferro lost a third 
 horse. On the second day a rninie ball struck the eagle of his 
 sword-belt, and glanced off without damage. On the third day, 
 while leading a charge on a battery, the grip of his sword was struck 
 by a minie ball, and two of his fingers crushed. At Oxhill, he 
 commanded the Stonewall Division, during the sickness of Maj. 
 Gen. Starke, and would have succeeded to the rank of that officer, 
 had he not been required to return home on account of his crippled 
 condition. This promotion he however enjoyed after serving some 
 time as the commander of the military post at Charlottesville. In 
 this position he was found at the time of the surrender. 
 
 ( d) I hope I will be pardoned for repeating a story that Gen. 
 Taliaferro often told on himself. At the time referred to, he was 
 Colonel of the Twenty-third Regiment. The men of the Thirty- 
 seventh Regiment had found a game cock that was ready to fight 
 any thing from a horse to a kitten. Chanticleer often rode on the 
 shoulders of the men, and was always ready for a fight. He made 
 himself useful: for if the men wanted to catch a turkey or other 
 fowl, the fighting bird was brought forward and an engagement 
 followed. Before the fight had fairly begun, a soldier would wring 
 off the head of Chanticleer’s adversary. Of course he was very 
 popular with the men. But he had no name. So a meeting was 
 held to christen Chanticleer. A number of names were suggested ; 
 but when the name of “ Col. Taliaferro ” was proposed, it was carried 
 with uproarious acclamation. Gen. Taliaferro used to say he had

 ( 502 )- agnes harwood marshall— (Taliaferro). 
 
 had many children named after him, but, to have this game cock 
 for his name sake, was the highest compliment he had ever received. 
 
 At the return of peace, Gen. Taliaferro was quite old, and he 
 retired to his estate of “ Ninondale,” and devoted himself to literary 
 pursuits. I have been furnished with his auto-biography, which is 
 well written, and should be published in full.

 APPENDIX TO THE TALIAFERRO FAMILY. 
 
 After the Taliaferro Chart, pages 83-86, was in print, I received 
 a letter from J. S. Pitchen, dated Nashville, September 20, 1885, 
 giving me the following list of Deeds, Bonds and Wills, taken from 
 the records of Essex Co., Va., showing that Robert Taliaferro, called 
 “Gentleman,” and most likely of English extraction, was born about 
 1635, and probably was the founder of the family. He had four 
 sons: 1, Francis, who married Elilabeth Catlett; 2, John,= Sarah, 
 dr. of Lawrence Smith; 3, Richard; 4, Charles, and perhaps a fifth, 
 named Robert, who = Sarah, sister of Elizabeth Catlett:

 County of Gloucester, Gent., son and heir apparent of Robert Tal¬

 of his marriage to Sarah, dr. of Lawrence Smith. The deed recites 
 that said Robert Taliaferro and Lawrence Smith had on the 26th of

 Archer was a promising lawyer of Richmond, but died young.

 April 20, 1862; = 2d, July 9, 1867, Mara' N. Thomas, b. August 
 9, 1842, living. Mr. Marshall was educated at the University of 
 Virginia, and after taking his literary course, graduated in law. 
 He never practiced, but went on his portion of the “Oakhill” 
 estate, and farmed until the war broke out in April, 1861, when he 
 was mustered in the service of the Confederacy, at Dumfries, as 
 Orderly Sergeant of Company H., (Capt. J. A. Adams) of the 
 Wise Dragoons, from Fauquier County, and assigned to the Sixth 
 Regiment of Cavalry, under Col. C. W. Field; received his com¬ 
 mission as First Lieutenant of Artillery, June, 1862, and put on or- 
 diance duty at Lynchburg, Va., and continued in the service until the 
 surrender in April, 1865. In 1869-70 and 71, he was a member of 
 the Virginia House of Delegates, from Fauquier Co.; was a Henry 
 Clay Whig from the first, and claims to be a Whig still. Mr. Mar¬ 
 shall is a man of fine literary acquirements, superior judgment, un¬ 
 blemished honor, and acknowledged social position. Like his great 
 progenitor, Col. Thomas Marshall, he has presented to his country 
 fifteen worthy children, and the same number of grand children. 
 All of them are industrious, frugal and self reliant. Perhaps it is a 
 blessing that Mr. Marshall has not much to leave to his children but 
 the good education he has given them. They know they must rely 
 on their own efforts. His noble and generous spirit did not allow 
 him to grasp nor to hoard. He is now teaching school for a support.

 the Confederacy throughout the war, having been assigned to the 
 nitre and mining department at Staunton. He was killed by a 
 man whom he was denouncing for cowardice, in keeping out of 
 danger during the war. He was of slender form; was highly 
 esteemed for honor and probity, and his death was much lamented.

 August 24, 1848, Maria Barton, b. near Winchester, Va., April 
 20, 1830, d. February 11, 1861. After receiving rudimentary in¬ 
 struction at various academies in Fauquier County, Thomas entered, 
 1845, the University of Virginia, and pursued the full course of 
 that institution; studied law under the distinguished D. W. Bar¬ 
 ton, of Winchester, and married his daughter; settled at “Shady 
 Oak,” sis miles from Winchester, and engaged in farming; in 1852 
 bought “Oakhill” of his brother, John, and the following year re¬ 
 moved his family to the old homestead. Here he resided with his 
 lovely wife until her death, February 11, 1861. His children were 
 then removed to “ Springdale,” near Winchester, and placed under 
 the tender care of their maternal grandmother. “ Oakhill ” from 
 this time ceased to be the homestead of the Marshalls, yet belonged 
 to Col. Thomas until his death, when it was sold, October 26, 1866, 
 publicly by his administrator. Mr. Knight, of Maryland, purchased 
 it. He sold it to Mr. Kefanver, who sold it to Mr. F. W. Maddux, 
 the present gentlemanly proprietor. 
 
 Mr. Marshall was an ardent Whig, and a sincere patriot. He 
 opposed secession with all his powers; but when his State seceded 
 and coercion was attempted, he deliberately made up his mind to 
 risk fortune, honor and life in defending the Confederacy, to which 
 he owed allegiance. At the first trump of war he hastened to Har- 
 jier’s Ferry, and became the volunteer aide of Col. [Stonewall] Jack- 
 son, with the rank of Captain. At the battle of first Manassas his 
 horse was killed. When Jackson was promoted to the rank of Ma¬ 
 jor General, Captain Marshall deemed it his duty to resign. He

 then raised, in Frederick County, a cavalry company, and was as¬ 
 signed to Col. Ashby’s command, and followed his beloved leader 
 through all his heroic career. But when Col. Ashby’s overgrown 
 regiment was divided and reorganized into three regiments, Captain 
 Marshall was chosen by the men to command the 12th regiment. But 
 Gen. Jackson was not satisfied with the officers elected, and refused 
 to commission them. He, however, gave Captain Marshall the po¬ 
 sition of Major of the 7th Cavalry. 
 
 At Orange C. H., in August, 1862, Major Marshall was severely 
 wounded, taken prisoner and sent to Washington; was exchanged 
 in September; returned to Winchester, and soon thereafter suc¬ 
 ceeded to the position of Lieutenant Colonel of the 7th Cavalry, 
 under Col. Dulany. In March, 1863, Gen. Jones’ brigade was or¬ 
 dered to make a raid into Western Virginia. This service was gal¬ 
 lantly accomplished, and throughout nearly the whole campaign Col. 
 Marshall was in command of the regiment. Early in the march. Col. 
 Dulany had been severely wounded, and had to retire; in the spring 
 of 1863, Jones’ brigade participated in the repulse of Hooker on the 
 Rappahannock. On the 9th of June, 1863, at the battle of Brandy 
 Station, Col. Marshall’s regiment did good service; at Gettysburg, 
 he was in the thickest of the fray, and he lost another horse; during 
 the fall and winter of 1863-64, Col. Marshall was with his regiment 
 in the Valley of Virginia; Col. Dulany relieved him in the spring 
 of 1864, and Lieut.-Col. Marshall resumed his position. At Trevil- 
 lians, Col. Marshall lost another horse — the fifth that had fallen 
 under him since the beginning of the war. When Gen. Rosser was 
 wounded, and Col. Dulany took his place, Lieut.-Col. Marshall 
 again succeeded to the command of the 7th regiment. As Grant 
 advanced, the 7th regiment, under Col. Marshall, was sent South of 
 the James River, and placed in front of Petersburg. In August, 
 1864, Col. Marshall was severely wounded in the shoulder, and was 
 sent home. After spending a month in Winchester, the advance of 
 the enemy required its evacuation, and Col. Marshall joined his reg¬ 
 iment, though his wound was far from being healed. On the 12th 
 of November, 1864, in an engagement near Winchester, he with 
 several companions, became separated from the body of the regiment, 
 and the enemy came upon them. Setting spurs to their horses, they 
 dashed away amid a shower of balls. Col. Marshall was observed to 
 sink in his saddle, and immediately his companions on each side sup-

 ported him in his position. After a few minutes he faintly said, 
 “Put me down, boys, I am dying; save yourselves.” These were 
 his last words. The ball had passed through his heart. He was 
 buried at the University, but after the war, was removed to Winches¬ 
 ter, where he lies beside the Ashbys. 
 
 Col. Marshall was trained by pious parents and joined the army 
 from religious motives. He served his God in serving his country. 
 He has been compared to Havelock and to Gordon. He was emi¬ 
 nently a man of prayer. His strong faith and humble deportment 
 gave him a powerful influence among his men. On the field or in 
 camp he sought opportunities for private devotion. His conversa¬ 
 tion and his writings showed an ever present trust in_ God. His 
 children have inherited his piety, and I believe all of them are mem¬ 
 bers of the Episcopal Church. They all venerate their father’s mem¬ 
 ory and adore his God. For Mrs. Marshall’s ancestry see No. 802. 
 She was buried at Leeds’ Church, and her epitaph reads: 
 
 Died at Oakhill, the residence of her husband, Thomas Marshall, 
 in the thirty-first year of her age, Annie Maria Marshall, eldest daughter 
 of David W. Barton. Lovely in every attribute of the Christain lady — 
 sweet, gentle and guileless as a child—she was deeply loved by a large 
 circle of relatives and friends. Timid by nature, death had no terrors. 
 Her Savior was near, and right dearly did He answer her prayer.

 making her home for the time with her grandfather, the Chief Jus¬ 
 tice. Mr. Douthat lost his father when eight years old; his mother 
 had inherited “ Weyanoke,” ten miles distant, in Charles-City Co., 
 and she removed there with her children. “ Weyanoke ” had be 
 longed to the Lewis family for more than a hundred years, and here 
 Mr. Douthat lived until 1875, when he sold out and removed to a 
 farm in the same county, eight miles distant. He was a graduate 
 of the Virginia University, aud a gentleman of a high order of in¬ 
 telligence. His life has been devoted to farming. When the civil 
 war broke out, he raised a cavalry company for the Confederacy, and 
 was among the first in the field. He rose to the rank of Major in 
 the service; was taken prisoner in 1863, and not exchanged tor

 Braxton in 1884, and found her a highly accomplished lady, of agree¬ 
 able manners and literary taste. Her form is wasted by disease and 
 her countenance indicates suffering; yet when lighted up by excite¬ 
 ment, her face beams with intelligence, and her eyes* sparkle with 
 humor. Captain Braxton studied law at Richmond, in the office of 
 Judge Daniel; practiced in Fredericksburg, where he now lives; 
 represented King and Queen Co. in the House of Burgesses; was 
 elected to the State Senate in 1851, and re-elected in 1853; was a 
 Captain in the C. S. A., and assigned to the Q. M. department. 
 Served to the close of the war; lost all of his property; resumed the 
 practice of law in Fredericksburg, and recovered his losses; was 
 elected a member of the Common Council of Fredericksburg in 
 1866; was elected to Congress as a Democrat from the Eighth Dis¬ 
 trict of Virginia, and served from March 4, 1871, to March 3,1873.

 pany, in Fauquier County, which did good service in Pickett’s di¬ 
 vision. He participated in the battles of Williamsburg, Fredericks¬ 
 burg, Gettysburg, the fights about Richmond, the capture of Ply¬ 
 mouth, the second Manassas, and at Petersburg. Near the latter 
 place he was severely wounded by a minie ball striking and break¬ 
 ing his under jaw. He lives at “ Cleaveland,” his estate, six miles 
 south of Markham, in Fauquier Co., Ya. He has a store at “ Cross¬ 
 roads,” near his residence, and with the assistance of a few friends, 
 he sustains what is called “Cleaveland High School,” where a num¬ 
 ber of young men are prepared for a course in the State University. 
 
 Mrs. Marshall is a highly accomplished lady. Her parents were 
 Henry Edloe and Elizabeth Travis, of Williamsburg, Va. She lost 
 her father when she was an infant, and was raised by her mother 
 among her kindred. 
 
 Capt. Marshall was a gallant and chivalrous officer, and is highly 
 esteemed for his personal graces, his intellectual attainments and 
 business qualifications. From my short association with him, I think 
 he merits the title of “a splendid fellow,” given him by a female 
 admirer.

 Church. After marriage, removed to “Springdale,” six miles from 
 Winchester, on the road to Staunton. At the first call to arms, in 
 April, 1861, he offered his services to the Confederacy, was appointed 
 First Lieutenant, and duty assigned him as inspector of fortifications 
 around Winchester; aided in the organization of Cutshaw’s Battery. 
 In these duties his military education was of great value. While 
 defending Winchester and in pursuit of a retreating battery, he was

 ers lie at his side. All fell in battle. See 2004.

 the Florida war, and at Cedar Keys fell a victim to the climate. It 
 was a remark of Gen. Worth, his commanding officer, that “ he was 
 as brave as his sword.”

 Mississippi. Here William married Frances Gildart, who was the 
 mother of Col. Ruffin. His parents dying before he was eight years 
 of age, Frank G. came to Virginia, was educated at the State Uni¬ 
 versity, served the Confederacy in various departments at Richmond, 
 and is now Second Auditor of the State of Virginia. He lost most 
 of his property by the fall of Richmond, but still evinces his public 
 spirit by taking an interest in and giving support to every laudable 
 enterprise. Mrs. Ruffin’s letters to me are charming epistolary 
 compositions, and evince that piety so commendable in the Harvie 
 family. They reside in Richmond and have no children.

 the fall of 1861 he entered Ashby’s cavalry as adjutant; resigned 
 after Ashby’s death, but, after remaining idle for a few months, he 
 joined Mosby’s command of scouts, or irregular troops, and did good 
 service until the end of the war. He then returned home and man¬ 
 aged his farm successfully until his death. He was at the battles 
 of Kernstown, Winchester, Cedar Mountain, second Manassas, and 
 other bloody fields. I met Mrs. Marshall at “ Mt. Blanc,” in 1884, 
 and have received several well written' letters from her. She is pos¬ 
 sessed of not only intelligence, but independence, energy and firm¬

 practiced medicine several years; met Miss Ewing, who was a great 
 beauty, in Louisville. After marriage his wife induced him to re¬ 
 move to Louisville; formed a partnerthip with her father, Dr. U. E. 
 Ewing; after several years opened an office for himself; was a de¬ 
 voted member of the Episcopal Church, and Secretary of the Vestry 
 of Christ’s Church, Louisville. On his death, a prominent Louis¬ 
 ville physician, in the Medical Journal wrote: “The list of worthies 
 would be incomplete without the name of Dr. N. B. Marshall. That 
 name, though so distinguished, was never borne more worthily than 
 by this talented physician. Though he died young, he had already 
 established an enviable reputation as a teacher and a practitioner.” 
 Dr. Marshall was Dean of the Kentucky School of Medicine, and 
 Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics.

 Mary Ambler Marshall, b. at “ Leeds,” April 29,1830; 
 ^ = August 2, 1855, Lewis Minor Coleman in Hanover 
 
 Co., Va., February 3, 1827; d. at “ Edgehill,” Carolina Co., Va., 
 March 21, 1863. In 1884, I spent a day at “Sunnyside,” the resi¬ 
 dence of Mrs. Coleman, and was favorably impressed by the intelli¬ 
 gence, courtesy and amiability of the family. Among her relatives 
 she is regarded as a model manager, a lively and agreeable associate, 
 and a sincere Christian. 
 
 Col. Coleman received from his venerated mother his early 
 moral sentiments and religious impressions. He was first sent to 
 a private school at Beaver Dam, and subsequently he attended the 
 academy of his uncle, Frederick Coleman, at Concord, Caroline Co., 
 Va. In 1844, when Louis was seventeen, he entered the University 
 of Virginia, and at nineteen graduated with the degree of A. M. 
 On the 12th November, 1846, he united with the Baptist church at 
 Richmond, Va. Having determined to devote his life to teaching, 
 he became, by the invitation of his uncle, an assistant in Concord 
 Academy. His wonderful proficiency as a disciplinarian, and his 
 success as an educator, encouraged him to open a school of his own. 
 Accordingly when Concord Academy was closed about 1854, he 
 founded Hanover Academy, at Taylorsville, Va., and by firmness, 
 perseverence and executive ability, as well as on account of his 
 scholarship, the school flourished and his reputation was established. 
 His Christian fortitude and pious example had a happy influence on 
 his pupils, and elicited their reverence and affection. In 1859 he 
 was elected Professor of Latin in the University of Virginia, and 
 Hanover Academy passed to his assistant, Professor Jones (568) 
 who is still at its head. In the University, his scholarship and 
 classical erudition added to the reputation of the institution. But 
 in the midst of his useful labors, the tocsin of war aroused the 
 nation to arms. His duty to his native state he regarded as imper¬ 
 ative. His allegiance was due to Virginia, and not to the Union. 
 An Artillery Company was in August, 1861, mustered into service 
 of the Confederacy, with Capt. Coleman as its chief officer. With 
 diligence he prepared himself to fill his new position, and drilled 
 his men for service. His religious zeal never forsook him. His 
 men were called morning and evening for religious services, under 
 the leadership of their faithful commander. The effect was, that 
 his men were heroes such as were led by Cromwell and Havelock.

 Capt. Coleman’s company was placed in Gen. Pendleton’s division, 
 and at Yorktown, the Peninsula, the battles around Richmond and 
 on many other bloody fields in Virginia and Maryland, did valuable 
 service for the South. At the reorganization of the army in 1862, 
 Capt. Coleman was promoted to the rank of Major; and shortly 
 afterward was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the First Virginia Ar¬ 
 tillery. He was with his regiment at Richmond, but had to retire 
 to recruit his health. A short time before the battle of Fredericks¬ 
 burg, he resumed his place. On that bloody field he was wounded 
 in the leg but not disabled. Yet the wound, which seemed but 
 slight, proved mortal; and after ninety days of intense physical 
 suffering, he found the peace of death at “ Edgehill,” Caroline Co.,. 
 Va. Thus died a moral hero and martyr to conscientious duty — a 
 scholar, soldier, patriot and Christian. For the Coleman family see

 son school at Philadelphia; entered the Confederate army as a Sur¬ 
 geon, and died from overwork. He was buried at Leeds Church. 
 His epitaph states the dates of his birth and death, and concludes 
 with the text: “ I would not have you ignorant concerning them 
 
 which are asleep, that ye sorrow not even as others, which have no 
 
 hope.”

 when the war of 1861 commenced, he entered the Confederate army 
 as First Lieutenant of Artillery, and served through all the cam¬ 
 paigns of the army of North Virginia; rose successively to the ranks 
 of Major, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel of Artillery; was ap¬ 
 pointed Brigadier General, but the war closed before the delivery 
 of his commission; returned, after the surrender, to find his home 
 despoiled by being used as a hospital. His wife remained in Fau - 
 quier during the war. His academy was reopened, and has de¬ 
 manded his attention up to this day. I have several letters from 
 him, which give evidence of superior scholarship and profound judg¬ 
 ment. Col. Jones is the son of Basil Jones and Lucy Timberlake, 
 of Fluvianna Co., Va. His grandfather was Benj. Jones, of Rock¬ 
 ville, Montgomery Co., Md., who was the First Lieutenant of a

 near Alexandria, and at the State University. In 1862, he enlisted 
 in the Confederate army, was assigned to the Nitre and Mining de¬ 
 partment, and was employed in the manufacture of saltpetre at 
 Staunton, under his cousin, Major J. F. Jones (806). In this ser¬ 
 vice he continued until the end of the war. He is living at “ Ber¬ 
 gen,” a farm of 365 acres, one mile north of Markham. With my 
 daughter, I enjoyed his hospitality in 1884, and have had several 
 letters from him. I admire him for his sound judgment, practical 
 views, liberal sentiments, conservative politics, conscientious deport¬ 
 ment and religious convictions. He is a man of general informa¬ 
 tion and fine literary attainments. His first wife was a daughter of 
 Norman Fitzhugh and Miss Vowell. His present wife is a sister of 
 Prof. Hilary Jones, of Hanover Academy, and daughter of Basil 
 Jones and Lucy Timberlake. See No. 568. She was raised in For-

 Edward was educated by his learned father, at home, and by tutors. 
 He also attended the school of Benjamin Hallowell, in Alexandria. 
 Having chosen the mercantile business, he served as a clerk for three 
 years in Baltimore, and sold goods three years in Markham. He 
 then removed to Berryville, Va., and continued the mercantile bus¬ 
 iness until 1880, when he removed to Kansas City, Mo., where he is 
 engaged in the produce and commission business with good success. 
 He is an agreeable gentleman, an interesting conversationalist, and 
 a superior business man. Mrs. Marshall is a pleasant and graceful 
 matron, domestic in her habits, and possessed of a gentle and loving 
 spirit. Her father was a physician, and came from Maryland to 
 Clarke Co., Va. He married Eliza Smith, a relative of the Am¬

 Military Institute July 4,1860; went to North Carolina and taught 
 in the family of Dr. Warren, of Edenton. When the war broke 
 out, he raised a company for the Confederacy, and by his achieve¬ 
 ments gained quite a reputation. On the reorganization of the 
 army, he was chosen Colonel of the 52d N. C. regiment, and was 
 assigned to Pettigrew’s brigade. Here his sagacity and courage were 
 displayed in resisting the advance of the Federal gunboats upon Nor¬ 
 folk. With the Southern army he was at Gettysburg, and in the 
 charge on Cemetery Hill he received two balls in his forehead, caus¬ 
 ing his immediate death. His body was never recovered. His ser¬ 
 vant brought home his horse, papers and clothing. Every effort was 
 made to recover his body, but in the heaps of the dead his form was 
 never recognized. He was in his manner quiet and retiring, and 
 yet distinguished for sound judgment in council and intrepidity in 
 battle. He was the senior Colonel under Gen. Pettigrew, and at 
 one time was in command of the brigade.

 modest and respectful demeanor and her soul speaking eyes. One 
 would select her out of a thousand strangers, and claim her as a 
 long lost sister. When I visited “ Innis,” in 1884, I felt at home 
 before I was seated. The family knows how to make one feel wel¬ 
 come. Mr. Marshall is a pleasant and sensible gentleman, modest, 
 unassuming and social. He received instruction from tutors at 
 home, and was sent successively to Clifton High School, Mr. Harri¬ 
 son’s school, and Charlottesville Military Institute. When a mere 
 youth he entered Ashby’s Cavalry, and fought through the war; 
 was wounded in the fight in the Wilderness, by a ball that struck 
 his forehead and glanced off without breaking the skull. It is 
 almost a miracle that he was not killed, and the boys jestingly say 
 that the ball was flattened to the thickness of a knife blade. His 
 duties during the war were assigned him chiefly in the adjutant’s 
 office, for which position he was well qualified. Cousin Tom is a 
 genial and generous friend. I owe him for the use of a horse while 
 in Fauquier.

 (610) DR. .1011X HANSON THOMAS. 
 
 of Falmouth, Ya., b. October 29, 1819. Dr. Thomas lost his father 
 in his infancy, and was reared by his excellent mother. He gradu¬ 
 ated at the University of Virginia, and came to Baltimore to reside, 
 September 23,1834. Here he pursued the study of medicine under 
 Dr. Ashton Alexander. After receiving his diploma from the Uni¬ 
 versity of Maryland, he was appointed resident physician of the 
 Baltimore Infirmary, which afforded peculiar opportunities for the 
 acquisition of surgery. In 1841, he relinquished the practice of 
 medicine to accept the Presidency of the Farmers’ & Mechanics’ 
 Bank. For thirty years he held this position, with credit to himself 
 and profit to the stockholders. On one occasion, during unusual 
 stress, when disaster overtook many financial institutions, he pledged 
 a large part of his private securities for the benefit of the Bank, 
 thereby placing it in a position of safety. In 1867, he was appointed 
 by the Governor of Maryland as State’s Agent for the negotiation of 
 loans, and payment of interest on the public debt. This position he 
 held for twelve years. But in 1879, failing health compelled him 
 to resign his public offices. 
 
 Dr. Thomas was an ardent Whig, and in 1852, was Chairman of 
 the State Central Committee of his party. In 1855, he was elected 
 a member of the City Council, and in 1861, was appointed one of 
 the Committee to attend the Peace Conference which met at Rich¬ 
 mond. At the election, April 24, 1861, he was chosen to represent 
 the city of Baltimore in the State Legislature, with a view of deter¬ 
 mining the question of secession. The ordinance was not passed; yet 
 Dr. Thomas, and other leading citizens were arrested by military 
 order, at midnight, and confined at Fortress Monroe, and thence re¬ 
 moved to Fort Lafayette. After six months imprisonment, he was 
 released on parole. This outrage only strengthened his sympathy 
 with the South. A local paper in announcing the death of Dr. 
 Thomas, said: 
 
 “Yesterday the tidings of Dr. John Hanson Thomas’ death were re¬ 
 ceived with great sorrow at the Maryland Club. The members in sub¬ 
 dued voices dwelt, with melancholy pleasure, over the merits of the 
 deceased. They spoke of his gentle manners, yet knightly bearing,— of 
 his tender kindness, yet unfaltering firmness and devotion to duty,— of 
 his sterling integrity, his unblemished reputation, his benevolence, and 
 those other traits that distinguished him through life. In commercial 
 circles there was but one general expression of sorrow, and in social 
 circles it was felt that Baltimore had lost one of her first citizens. Few 
 have lived more beloved and respected, and few have died more re¬ 
 gretted.”

 Mrs. Thomas is a daughter of Basil Gordon and Annie Campbell 
 Knox, of Falmouth. Her palatial residence on Mt. Vernon Place, 
 Baltimore, is still the scene of continuous generous hospitality. She 
 is possessed of literary accomplishments, as her letters to me attest. 
 When in Baltimore in 1884, my sickness prevented me from form¬

 interest in the Confederate prisoners, and the sufferings of hundreds 
 of them were alleviated through her generous liberality.

 Mrs. Robinson was born, reared and married in Richmond, and 
 now lives at her residence, adjoining the “ Soldiers’ Home,” near 
 Washington, D. C. Her children live with her. Though weighted 
 down by cares and bereavements, her letters to me are full of hope 
 and cheerfulness. Two of her darling boys were patriotic offerings 
 on Virginia’s bloody fields, and the husband of her youth, with 
 whom she lived for nearly a half century, has gone to his reward, 
 leaving her in widowed loneliness. 
 
 Judge Robinson’s name is familiar to every Virginian. For 
 many years he was an honored member of the Richmond bar. In 
 1858, he removed to Washington, and the last twenty-five years of 
 his life were spent in practicing in the Supreme Court, and in writ¬ 
 ing the numerous books of both English and American law, that 
 bear his name. His life was one of untiring literary labor. When 
 only twenty-one years of age, he published his “Forms Adapted to 
 the Practice in Virginia,” in one volume, which was afterwards en¬ 
 larged to three. In 1842-44, he published two volumes of Virginia 
 Reports. He made some important contributions to the Virginia 
 Historical Society. In 1849, he, with I. M. Patton, revised the Vir¬ 
 ginia Code. Between the years 1854 and 1874, he wrote his great 
 work, “ Robinson’s Practice,” embracing in seven volumes, the juris¬ 
 prudence of England and America. It is a whole law library in

 itself. But Mr. Robiusou’s book making did not end with this great 
 work, for the venerable author, in 1882, issued the first volume of 
 his “ History of the High Court of Chancery and other Institutions 
 of England,” 1,215 pages. I have not learned whether this work 
 will be completed or not from his notes. In January, 1884, Mr. 
 Robinson visited Philadelphia, and, while there, died of pneumonia, 
 at the house of a brother. Since the death of Marshall, Story and 
 Kent, the world has not produced a jurist superior to Conway Rob¬ 
 inson .

 Charles M. Fleming. Cousin Emily and I were children together. 
 She was an amiable, slender and beautiful girl. I never met her 
 after her marriage. She was educated and refined, and was gener¬ 
 ally beloved. Mr. Fleming lived a few miles from Flemingsburg. 
 Educated for law, he has spent his life on his farm. He has mar¬ 
 ried again.

 9, 1845, Dr. Addison Dimmitt, of Mason Co., Ky., b. May 4, 
 1822, d. March 30, 1865. Cousin Fannie was a pure and true 
 little woman, but exceedingly nervous and irritable. Shortly after 
 her marriage she united with the Lewisburg Baptist church, under 
 the preaching of Elder Gilbert Mason; and she continued a zealous 
 and useful member until her death. She was brilliant in conversa¬ 
 tion, passionate in her temper, and indomitable in her will. Her 
 heart was full of sympathy, and her hand was liberal in alms. Her 
 children almost idolize her memory, and all who enjoyed her friend¬ 
 ship praise her. Her feelings were never concealed. In the war 
 she was enthusiastic for the South. 
 
 Dr. Dimmitt was a son of James Dimmitt and Elizabeth Ramey. 
 He read medicine with Duke & Shackelford, in Maysville, Ky.; 
 graduated at the University of Pennsylavania; attended for eigh¬ 
 teen months the hospital at Philadelphia; settled after marriage, at 
 Lewisburg, Mason Co., Ky., and here as a beloved and honored 
 physician his useful life was spent. In the war he was at first for the 
 union, but his Southern blood soon brought him in sympathy with 
 the Confederacy. His second wife was Mrs. Laura Everett, nee 
 Chenoweth. She survives him, and, with her son, Addison Dim¬ 
 mitt, lives in Maysville, Ky.

 1867, of yellow fever. He was a farmer until the war broke out; 
 entered the Confederate service and rose to the rank of Major; 
 lyent to New Orleans when peace returned, and was a member of 
 the house of Jewett Norton & Co. Cousin Eliza now lives at Can¬ 
 ton, Mo., and is sorely afflicted with cancer in the breast. I knew 
 her only as a child, but have often heard her praised. 
 
 632 Julianna Whetcroft Marshall, b. in Lewis Co., Ky., 
 July 14, 1832, d. of cancer in the breast, at Quincy, Ill., 
 June 30, 1884; buried at Maysville, Ivy., beside her mother, = 
 November 6, 1855, Capt. Benj. Bland, of New Orleans, b. in 
 Maysville, Ky., October 2, 1821, d. June 24, 1864. Cousin Juli¬ 
 anna possessed beauty and intelligence; was firm, resolute and 
 determined; of strong sympathies and aversions. I have several 
 finely written letters from her, from which, in the notice of her 
 father, I have quoted (176). Capt. Bland’s grandfather was a Vir¬ 
 ginian, who married Margaret Jones. His parents were Benj. 
 Bland, sr., and Mary Rolfe. Capt. Bland served the Confederacy 
 under Gen. Kirby Smith. He was a merchant. Six children were 
 born to him, but all died in infancy.

 ' ' d. February 25, 1840, = 1838, Frank T. Chambers, 
 1818 — 60. Cousin Fannie was a fair and lovely girl. From the 
 age of fifteen she suffered from dyspepsia, which made her form 
 and features angelic. She was only five days younger than I. As 
 I received the fostering care of her mother, so she was cherished by 
 my step-mother. Therefore we were companions throughout our 
 early lives. She died soon after marriage, leaving an only son. 
 Frank Chambers was a lawyer, and was regarded as one of the 
 most promising young men in the State of Kentucky. He was 
 uncommonly handsome, a chaste and eloquent speaker, and an in¬ 
 telligent and interesting companion. His life was short, yet he was 
 married three times. His second wife was Elizabeth Durrett, 
 and his third, a Miss Felegar. His last years were spent in Cin¬ 
 cinnati. He became intemperate before he died. His parents 
 were Gov. John Chambers, 1779—1852, and Hannah Taylor.

 in Augusta, Ky., September 12, 1842 l. Cousin Aleck received a 
 good literary and professional education, but he practiced but little. 
 He was a fine manager, handsome, agreeable and wealthy. Having 
 no children, and nothing to stir his energies, he took the world leis¬ 
 urely, and lived like a gentleman. He was reared in Mason County; 
 after marriage, settled in Fleming; removed to Maysville, and finally 
 went to his farm near Washington, and there died. His large estate 
 went to his brothers and sisters, and to his widow. His first wife 
 was a daughter of Gilbert Adams, by his first wife (216), and his 
 second wife was a daughter of Hon. Thornton Marshall, of Augusta 
 (368). She is now residing with her parents.

 woman. She was only three years old when her mother died. She 
 found a home with her aunt, Mrs. Green (180), in Danville. She 
 was a haughty little lady, when four years old, and the pet of the 
 family. She would sit up in the parlor and entertain company with 
 her well considered opinions on every topic. I met her at her hos¬ 
 pitable home, in Covington, in 1884, and found her still dignified, 
 courteous and kind. Col. Casey is a handsome, lively and cordial 
 gentleman. He served as a Lieutenant of a volunteer company in

 Kenton County in the Kentucky Legislature. He is now tobacco 
 inspector of the city of Cincinnati, but lives in Covington.

 He was raised by his aunt, and my sister, Mrs. P. A. Marshall (188). 
 Before marriage he came to Platte Co., Mo., and purchased a farm. 
 After a few years, he returned, and now cultivates a farm near 
 Washington, Ky. Cousin Sue has no children, but is the mother 
 of all the boys and girls she can gather about her. She is a kind- 
 hearted and whole-souled matron, that everybody loves.

 Pattie E. Craig, b. April 7,1839, in Lincoln Co., Ky. They now 
 live at “Anchorage,” Maysville, Ky., and he edits the Maysville 
 Eagle. Col. Green has been hard of hearing since his infancy. His 
 native talents, superior education, sound practical judgment, exten¬ 
 sive reading and almost universal information, with fearless indepen¬ 
 dence and sacred regard for truth, give him a wonderful power and 
 influence. His respect for justice and honor, and the calls of friend¬ 
 ship and patriotism, have often led him into controversy, and in 
 every contest he has proved himself an intellectual giant. During 
 the war, his fearless denunciation of every wrong, and his intrepid 
 advocacy of what was right, were only equalled by the success with 
 which he was rewarded. He was a decided Union man, and freely 
 expressed his convictions, whether they suited those in power or not. 
 Though a Democrat and an editor, he has always thought for him¬ 
 self. He cares not for the party lash, but sustains the cause and the 
 candidate he approves. Familiar with the history of Kentucky, and

 with the lives, principles and lineages of the leading men of his 
 State, his positions are generally impregnable, and his facts irresist- 
 able. But deafness curbs his ambition — drives him from the stump 
 and the forum—and leaves him his pen as his only weapon. As an 
 essayist, he is equalled by few. His style is chaste, his diction clear 
 and his logic powerful. He masters every subject he touches, and 
 few have the temerity to contradict him. 
 
 Mr. Green was educated at Center College, edited the Frankfort 
 Commomvealth, 1857-60; has since edited the Maysville Eagle; ran 
 as a Union man for Congress in 1866; and in 1868, was chosen an 
 elector for Seymour. See Green Chart, 180 j.

 1840, Lafayette Maltby, b. in Oswego Co., N. Y., August 11, 
 1819. Both were my associates in early life, but upon their mar¬ 
 riage we were separated to meet no more. After Mr. Maltby’s lite¬ 
 rary education, he studied law at Utica, N. Y. About 1827, he 
 came to Fleming Co., Ky., and became a tutor in the family of 
 Martin P. Marshall (234). In 1839, he entered on the practice of 
 law in Vicksburg, Miss., in partnership with N. D. Coleman (184). 
 In 1840, he purchased an interest in the wholesale grocery house of 
 Paxton & Keys. Until 1859, Mr. Maltby continued the traveling 
 and purchasing partner of his Cincinnati house, residing at times in 
 New Orleans and elsewhere. He then sold out, and removed to 
 Northampton, Mass. Here in 1865, he assumed control of a Savt 
 ings’ Bank, whose deposits now amount, under his judicious man¬ 
 agement, to over $2,000,000. He is a moderate Republican, and 
 voted for Cleveland. He is a man of thought, judgment, spirit and 
 ambition. He belongs to the Congregational Church. His health 
 is failing. His lineage :

 b. March 3, 1823, dr. of Robert Taylor and Sarah Dewees. Mr. 
 Marshall has spent his life in the house where he was born. When 
 his father left “ Belle Grove,” Charles purchased the estate, which 
 consists of eleven hundred acres. He started a dairy, and did a 
 large business in cheese, shipping it, in great quantities to the South. 
 The war broke up his business, and he has since been rearing stock. 
 He is a pushing, thriving farmer, rough and boisterous in his man¬ 
 ner, and overbearing in his conduct; but his sound judgment and 
 integrity are undoubted. He is growing in wealth and influence 
 yearly. Mrs. Marshall is a ivorthy matron, of superior education 
 and native grace and purity.

 Louisville, Ky. Mr. McKnight was a young lawyer of fine attain¬

 bility and angelic purity. 
 
 ££Q Mary W. Marshall, b. at “Belle Grove,” Fleming Co.,

 pitality.

 shall, Robert graduated at Yale College. He studied law with Hon. 
 Harrison Taylor, in Maysville, Ky., and was licensed in 1853. After 
 practicing for fifteen months in Maysville, he went to Rock Island, 
 Ill., and practiced for five years successfully. In 1860, he returned 
 to Mason Co., Ky., and settled on his farm of 600 acres, near Sardis, 
 on the line of Mason and Robertson Counties, where he now lives, 
 and where I visited him in 1884. His natural abilities and finished 
 education make him an interesting gentleman. Failing health was 
 the cause of his giving up the practice of law.

 father’s will she has a large part of the home tract of land. Mr. 
 Massie was a son of the late Nathaniel Massie, a pioneer from Vir¬ 
 ginia, who was born December 28,1763; Governor of Ohio in 1807. 
 Nathaniel, jr., was born in Chillicothe, Ohio; volunteered as a pri¬ 
 vate in the Union army; was discharged on account of protracted 
 sickness, which finally resulted in death. His widow and daughter 
 draw a pension.

 (668) fannie marshall coleman— ( Randolph ). 
 
 Mr. Randolph was born in New Brunswick, N. J., June 24,1826; 
 educated at Rutger’s Grammar School, and entered on mercantile 
 life at the age of sixteen. His early years were improved by the 
 performance of the duties of clerk, accountant, printer, editor and 
 merchant. In 1851, he was married, removed to Eastern Pennsyl¬ 
 vania, and was engaged in mining coal and iron. In this business 
 he was sent to Jersey City. In 1859, he was elected to the New 
 Jersey House of Assembly. He was also a member of the Special 
 Assembly of 1861. He favored the prosecution of the war for the 
 Union. In October, 1861, he was elected to the Senate of New 
 Jersey to fill a vacancy. In November, 1862, he was re-elected to 
 a full term, receiving 6,300 of the 6,400 votes cast. In 1868, he 
 was elected Governor of the State. During his three years admin- 
 tration, New Jersey made great advances in material wealth; the 
 laws were improved, reforms were instituted and general prosperity 
 prevailed. The progress made in every department has proved the 
 wisdom of Gov. Randolph’s administration, and it has been pro¬ 
 nounced the best the State has ever enjoyed. In 1875, Gov. Ran¬ 
 dolph was elected to the U. S. Senate, and served his full term of six 
 years. He was on the Committees of Commerce, Education and 
 Civil Service Reform, the Military, the Centennial, and to enquire 
 into the political frauds of South Carolina. His career in the Sen¬ 
 ate and as Governor of New Jersey, established his reputation as a 
 statesman, and his death was considered as a national calamity. On 
 the expiration of his term in the Senate, he retired to his country 
 home at Morristown. Here he displayed in the management of his 
 private estate the energy and liberal views that characterized his 
 public life. Systematic even in the details of his personal expenses, 
 everything he touched prospered. Every year, one-tenth of his in¬ 
 come was devoted to charity. The poor looked to him for counsel 
 as well as alms. He died suddenly in his fifty-eighth year.

 (672) COL. JAMES T. COLEMAN. 
 
 tell him of the“ Old Field School” of David Rannells, Washington, 
 Ky., where he received the first rudiments of education; he removed 
 with his parents to Vicksburg, Miss., about 1844 ; in 1848, attended 
 the Mississippi Military Institute; in 1850, he was sent to Kenyon 
 College, Ohio; after passing through the Sophomore year, he was 
 sent to Princeton College, and graduated with honor ; he then grad¬ 
 uated in law, at the University of Louisiana, and was licensed to 
 practice; at this time, Walker, the great filibuster, was enlisting men 
 for his schemes upon Nicaragua, and Mr. Coleman offered his ser¬ 
 vices; was chosen Captain of his company; passed through the 
 tropical beauties of Nicaragua; experienced hardships and encount¬ 
 ered dangers; often triumphing in battle over superior numbers, 
 until defeat required a hasty evacuation of the lovely region. Capt. 
 Coleman says that in his flight he showed the speed and endurance 
 of his Kennan ancestry, and that he, on foot, distanced his well- 
 mounted companions. Under President Walker, Capt. Coleman 
 received the appointment of Solicitor of the Treasury of the State of 
 Nicaragua, but his financial operations were light. In 1857, Capt. 
 Coleman returned, and located at St. Louis, to practice law. But 
 his restless nature could not be confined to the duties of a law office. 
 He became a reporter for the Republican; and next we find him 
 editor of the Southeast Democrat, published at Cape Girardeau, Mo., 
 acquiring the encomiums of even his Republican foes, for the force 
 and spirit of his editorials. Encouraged by his success, he was in¬ 
 duced to establish the Daily Mountaineer, at Denver, Colorado, in 
 the year 1859. It supported Douglas, and was conservative in its 
 tone. But when the war broke out, his Southern blood could not 
 brook Northern frenzy. So in June, 1861, he hurried South, to 
 offer his services to the Confederacy. At St. Joseph, Mo., he joined 
 a party of forty men, and hastened on to unite with Gen. Price, at 
 Lexington, Mo. Gen. Price gave him the rank of Captain, and he 
 participated in the terrible battle of Elkhorn, and many other ac¬ 
 tions on the retreat from Missouri. He was next authorized by Gen. 
 Price to recruit a regiment in Arkansas and Louisiana, and was sent 
 to New Orleans. Four companies were raised before the evacuation 
 by Gen. Lovell. After removing supplies to Vicksburg, he joined 
 Gen. Miles, and aided in organizing his “ Legion,” of which Capt.® 
 Coleman was appointed Major. From this time until the surrender 
 of Port Hudson, his daring and chivalrous spirit led him into dan-

 gers, and gained for him the reputation of a gallant officer. His 
 bravery and discretion at Plain Store, were commended in the dis¬ 
 patches of his commander. He was one of the small band of heroes 
 who so nobly defended Port Hudson, and, when taken by the enemy, 
 July 9, 1863, he was imprisoned at New Orleans. But Major Cole¬ 
 man was engaged to be married to Miss Hammond, and the wedding 
 day had already passed. Inspired by love and gallantry, Maj. Cole¬ 
 man, through the agency of his body servant, and of a disguise, 
 effected his escape from the New Orleans prison, and hastened to 
 meet his waiting bride. He received her carresses on the 13th of 
 August, 1863, and the next day the happy pair were united in mar¬ 
 riage. Maj. Coleman, after his honeymoon, rejoined the Confeder¬ 
 ate army in East Louisiana, and served faithfully to the end. A 
 New Orleans paper thus speaks of him: “We regard the heroic 
 Maj. Coleman as the most brilliant, gifted and brave young officer 
 we have ever met. Possessed of a splendid mind and education, and 
 the most excellent social qualities, he has endeared himself to his 
 companions for life.” James is the only survivor of the four Cole¬ 
 mans who entered the service of the Confederacy. The three others 
 (560, 676, 678) lie in soldier’s graves. Their dauntless courage and 
 chivalrous honor have wreathed the name in festoons of glory. Mr. 
 Coleman, after the war, settled in Vicksburg, and is successfully 
 practicing law. Mrs. Coleman was a Creole of remarkable loveli¬ 
 ness, and her lineage is thus recorded: 
 
 1. Aneke Jans.

 (676) CHARLES L. COLEMAN. 
 
 At the age of eighteen he went to Vicksburg, Miss., and thence to 
 New Orleans. He volunteered for the Southern cause at the first 
 call, but married, in uniform, the day before he started for Pensa¬ 
 cola. Here he was rejoined by his bride, who continued close to 
 him in all his campaigns. Going to Virginia he was called to the 
 staff of his relative, Maj. Gen. Magruder, at Yorktown, and became 
 his Adjutant General. He participated in all the battles in which 
 his commanding officer was engaged, and followed him to Texas, 
 New Mexico and Arizona. At the recapture of Galveston, he was 
 severely wounded, losing his left eye. When he had recovered he 
 was placed in command of the Northern division of Texas, with the 
 rank of Colonel. While in this position, the return of peace ended 
 his military career. He then removed to New York city, and en¬ 
 gaged in mercantile adventures, with varied success. Engaging in 
 the Insurance business, he was employed to organize the Southern 
 department of the New York Life Insurance Company. Under 
 his skillful management, the department has grown into vast pro¬ 
 portions, and is now doing one-fifth of the business of that gigantic 
 institution. His office is 346 Broadway. Col. Dickinson possesses 
 remarkable energy and administrative ability, and has made himself 
 one of the leading men of the city of New York. He is an affable 
 gentleman, a chivalrous officer, and an able financier. I remember 
 Cousin Sue Dickinson only as a child; but I learn that she has all 
 the generous and noble qualities, and the heroic virtues of the Cole¬ 
 man family. 
 
 CVC Charles L. Coleman, b. in Vicksburg, Miss., October, 
 1842, d. May 12, 1864. He was educated at his ancestral 
 home in Virginia, by Thos. B. Coleman, of Concord Academy, and 
 by Prof. Lewis M. Coleman, of Hanover Academy. In 1860-61, 
 he entered the Virginia University, but the war broke in upon the 
 studies of Charley and his brother, Harry W. Coleman. Both re¬ 
 turned to Vicksburg, and entered the “Volunteer Southrons.” 
 Harry’s health soon failed, and he went home. But believing he 
 was able to bear service, he joined his brother, Maj. James Cole¬ 
 man, of “ Miles Legion,” was made First Lieutenant in the Voor- 
 hees Guards, of Louisianna, and after nearly three years service,

 was captured at Port Hudson, and sent to Johnson Island. Charles 
 continued in the “ Southrons ” for a time, and then left them to 
 join the Morris Artillery, under his kinsman, Prof. Lewis M. Cole¬ 
 man. On the reorganization, he was made Captain. After three 
 years arduous service, he fell at Spotsylvania Court House, May 
 12, 1864. The Union forces held the ground after the engagement 
 and Charles’ body was never recovered. He was highly compli¬ 
 mented by Gen. R. E. Lee, as a soldier and officer. Harry, still a 
 prisoner, was sent to Point Lookout for exchange in April, 1865; 
 but, Lee’s surrender occurring, Harry was sent to Fort Delaware. 
 Here he refused to take the oath, and died in prison, May 25, 1865. 
 His body was taken in charge, by his brother-in-law, Gov. Randolph, 
 and interred at Easton, Penn.

 Ky., August 25,1834, = November 27,1855, Sarah Jane 
 Hughes, b. August 14, 1837, in Clay Co., Mo. Mr. Marshall stud¬ 
 ied the ancient languages with his uncle, Dr. Louis Marshall, at 
 “Buckpond,” Woodford Co., Ky.; went to Kenyon College, Ohio; 
 left in the junior year; returned to Mason Co., Ky., and wrote in 
 the clerk’s office for one year, reading law while there; went to St. 
 Louis and entered the law office of Leslie, AVilliams & Barrett, as 
 their clerk; returned to Kentucky and continued the study of law 
 with Judge T. A. Marshall (298); returned to St. Louis in 1855, 
 became a member of the law firm of AVilliams, Barrett & Marshall; 
 engaged in speculation and made and lost a fortune; removed to 
 Utah, 1866; admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United 
 States, 1872; has been in active practice ever since, and is still do¬ 
 ing a large and profitable business; has been engaged in all, or nearly 
 all, the heavy litigation of the large mining companies, and the re¬ 
 sult has generally proved his legal ability. After many years sep¬ 
 aration, I met my nephew in September, 1883, at the golden wed-

 ding of his parents (188), and took pains to draw him out upon 
 many legal questions. The result was that I discovered he was one 
 of the finest lawyers of the day. His reading in history, politics, 
 philosophy and law, has been extensive; but his profound judgment 
 and perfect understanding of the fundamental principles of the legal 
 science are equal, if not superior, to those of any man I have ever 
 met. His analytic mind grapples with the deepest mysteries of his 
 profession, and he applies his deductions with irresistible logic. He 
 is six feet two inches tall, his address is genial, and his manners 
 winning. He has been among strangers since his boyhood, and the 
 roughness of his early manners has been polished down to a winning 
 suavity. He is a forcible speaker, a fine conversationalist, and makes 
 a good impression on a stranger. Mrs. Marshall is in bad health. 
 She is a great sufferer. Her husband treats her with that kind and pa¬ 
 tient attention that characterized the deportment of his great uncle, 
 the Chief Justice, to his afflicted wife. Mrs. Marshall is the daugh¬ 
 ter of Hon. James M. Hughes and Nannie Dykes. Mr. Hughes 
 was a native of Nicholas Co., Ky.; removed, at an early day, to 
 Liberty, Mo.; represented his district in Congress, 1843-5, removed 
 to St. Louis, engaged in mercantile pursuits, and died about 1865. 
 
 Maria Marshall, b. October 18, 1836; d. December 24, 
 1862. She was an angel sent on a mission of love. Devoid 
 of selfishness, her pleasure was to make others happy. Without a 
 particle of guile herself, she believed all around her were good. Too 
 pure and lovely for earth, she was translated, like Enoch, to receive 
 her reward without delay.

 literary education at Center College, Kentucky, and was graduated 
 in 1864, at the Theological Seminary of the Northwest, at Chicago. 
 On account of ill health, he did not preach for several years. From 
 1867 to 1872, he preached to the Presbyterian Church at Hancock, 
 Ind. From 1872 to 1878, he was pastor of the church at Peters¬ 
 burg, Ill. From 1878 to 1880, he preached at Helena, Ark. He 
 became in 1880, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Manchester, 
 Ohio, where he is now preaching. As an earnest and successful 
 preacher — as a learned theologian, and as an able eclesiastic, he 
 stands high with his brethren. Mr. Waller is a son of Hon. Henry 
 Waller, of Chicago, and Sarah Bell Langhorne, who were married 
 May 3, 1837. Mrs. S. B. Waller died in 1883, in Chicago. See

 ence have made him one of the best officers in the Engineer Ser¬ 
 vice. His practical knowledge has enabled him to present to the 
 government some excellent inventions to facilitate the work in his 
 department.

 studied law, but found farming more to his taste; opened an acad¬ 
 emy at Front Royal, Va., in 1861; enlisted as First Lieutenant in 
 Capt. Bowen’s company, 7th Virginia cavalry; served under Mc¬ 
 Donald and Ashby; in 1862, raised for himself Company E, 12th

 war; after farming a few years, resumed his school at Front Royal; 
 removed in 1876 to Florida; health failing, returned after two 
 years, and has farmed and taught school up to this time. I spent a day 
 in 1884, at “ Horseshoe,” on the Shenandoah, seven miles from Front 
 Royal. The family are devoted Episcopalians, and nearly all the 
 children reside with their parents. They seem to be the best people 
 I ever met. The father is a patriarchal old gentleman, and, notwith¬ 
 standing the vicissitudes of his life, possesses the meekness and earn¬ 
 estness of a disciple of the Prince of Peace. The mother is a large, 
 lively, whole-souled and generous matron — genial and hospitable. 
 Altogether they form a household where love to each other rules, 
 where friends find kindness and attention, and the stranger receiv.es 
 a hearty welcome. See No. 810.

 entered the naval service as assistant surgeon, April 1, 1874. While 
 serving in the naval hospital at Norfolk, Va., he received a dispatch 
 from the Navy Department asking him to volunteer for duty pn the 
 “Jeannette,” to be sent to the Northern seas. He accepted the duty 
 and started on the ill-fated expedition, from which he was never to 
 return. He might have saved himself by leaving his companions, 
 but this he would not do. He died in the cause of science and hu¬ 
 manity, but his heroism will live in history. His frozen body was 
 recovered, and, in February, 1884, at Leeds Church, was committed 
 to the grave. His casket was covered with floral wreaths, which had 
 accumulated all the way from Siberia. His fellow surgeons of the 
 U. S. Navy have placed in Leeds church a brass tablet, thus in¬ 
 scribed: “James Markham Ambler, Past Assistant Surgeon, U. S. 
 Navy, died on the banks of the Lena River, during the memorable 
 retreat of the ship’s company of the U. S. Arctic Steamer Jeannette, 
 in the year 1881. His sense of duty was stronger than his love of 
 life. In memory of his noble example and heroic death, this tablet 
 is erected by the medical officers of the U. S. Navy.” 
 
 At the June, 1885, commencement of Washington and Lee Uni¬

 Mr. Jones was well educated and thoroughly read in the law. After

 Stringer, who survived him. He attained quite a reputation as a

 John Marshall to Henry Clay will interest those who cherish his 
 memory. It is dated Washington, March 13, 1833: 
 
 Dear Sir: — My nephew, Marshall Jones, purposes to remove to 
 New Orleans, with a view to the practice of law, and is, I believe, now 
 in that place. The circumstances under which he left Virginia increase 
 my solicitude for his success. A personal rencounter with a young gen¬

 trying his fortune in New Orleans, I am extremely desirous of promot¬ 
 ing his object, but with the exception of Mr. Johnston, I am not 
 acquainted with a single gentleman in that place. May I ask the favor 
 of you to mention him to some of your friends, not as a person known 
 to yourself, but as my friend and relative, whom I strongly recommend. 
 I have entire confidence in his honor, integrity and amiable qualities, 
 and shall feel myself greatly obliged to you if you will bestow on him 
 so much of your countenance as may favor his introduction into society. 
 For the rest, he must depend on himself. With the greatest respect 
 and esteem, I am your obedient servant,

 Walker Barton, b. 1801, d. July 5,1863. Mrs. Barton still lives 
 with her children, sometimes at Baltimore, and at other times at 
 Staunton or Winchester. She is revered by her descendants, and 
 highly esteemed by all. Mr. Barton was educated at Yale College; 
 was a scholar of decided attainments, and highly cultivated literary 
 taste; though diffident, he was a fine speaker; he was a chaste and 
 forcible writer, and contributed largely to the political papers 
 and literary journals of his day. As a lawyer, he was successful; 
 accumulated a fortune, and lost it by indorsing for friends and by 
 the disasters of the war. He was a brilliant conversationalist and 
 fine company for young and old. His reading was general and his 
 information varied. He had a happy faculty of making himself in¬ 
 teresting to all, so that his society was much sought. His profes¬ 
 sional life was spent at Winchester. His partner ivas Philip Wil¬ 
 liams. 
 
 THE BARTON FAMILY. 
 
 1. Rev. Thomas Barton was a native of Ireland, descended from 
 an English family; was educated at Dublin University; emigrated 
 to Philadelphia and opened a school, which ultimately grew into 
 the University of Pennsylvania. In 1754, he went to England, 
 received ordination and returned to Pennsylvania; married Esther, 
 sister of David Rettenhouse, L. L. D., F. R. S., President of the 
 American Philosophical Society, etc.

 who d. January 10, 1868. Cousin Strother, as everybody called him, 
 is a genial, kind hearted soul, full of jest and jollity. He was reared 
 at “ Vaucluse,” and as his mother died in his infancy, he became 
 the protege of his father. He was educated at Bristol College, an 
 Episcopal Institution, and is strongly attached to the ancient faith 
 in which he was reared. He was to have studied medicine; but 
 bad health demanded exercise and pure air; so he was put to work 
 on his father’s farm, and there he continued until his father’s death 
 in 1845. His usual home is now at “Happy Creek,” Warren Co., 
 Va. There, I spent a pleasant hour with him in 1884. His cor¬ 
 dial greeting, his graceful attention, and his charming courtesy won 
 my heart and secured my esteem. He has taken a great interest in 
 my heraldic work, and has given me aid and encouragement. In 
 one of his letters he calls himself a “ social crank,” and asks my 
 charity for his “syntax and prosody, cabolistic writing and Pickett 
 orthography.” Mary E. Barton, was daughter of a distinguished 
 lawyer, of Fredericksburg, Va., and was not related to D. W. Bar¬ 
 ton (802). Florinda Taylor was a daughter of William Taylor, of 
 Clarke Co., Va. She was the niece of Bushod Taylor, of Win¬ 
 chester, Va., and of Griffin Taylor, merchant of Cincinnati, Ohio. 
 She was related to the Kennans (56 h) and to Katherine Taylor 
 (176), but not to W. D. Taylor (218).

 Mrs. Force was much beloved and highly esteemed for her graces 
 and virtues. Her photograph attests her remarkable beauty, and 
 those who knew her pronounce her name with veneration. I visited 
 Judge Foree in 1884. He is a patriarchal old gentleman, with that 
 benignity of countenance and cordiality of manner that inspires 
 love as well as confidence. He was a second son of William P. 
 Foree and Elizabeth J. Major, of Shelby Co., Ivy. After receiving 
 his literary education at Transylvania University, and graduating 
 in the law department of that Institution in March, 1843, he settled 
 at Charleston, Miss., and engaged in the practice of law. He rep¬ 
 resented Tallahatchie Co., Miss., in 1848, and was Probate Judge 
 for a term; returned to Shelbyville, Ky., 1852; represented Shelby 
 County in 1871-72; has been elected County Judge three times, 
 and is now presiding J udge of the Court of Magistrates. A Dem¬ 
 ocrat, he is one of the active and influential politicians of Kentucky.

 at Warrenton was appointed, in 1850, Professor of Mathematics in 
 the Indiana University. In 1853, he settled in Baltimore, and en¬ 
 gaged in the practice of law. When the war broke out he was ap¬ 
 pointed on Gen. R. E. Lee’s staff, and served until the Surrender. 
 When peace was restored, he resumed practice in Baltimore, and 
 now stands at the very head of the profession. A lady well known 
 in the literary society of Virginia, remarked to me, in 1884, that 
 Charles Marshall, of Baltimore, was generally admitted to be the 
 most talented man in the Marshall family. Mr. Marshall’s first 
 wife was a daughter of Gen. T. P. Andrews, U. S. A., at one time 
 Paymaster General, and Emily Snowden. His second wife was a 
 daughter of Thomas and Ann Rebecca Snowden, of Maryland.

 was said to have been a lovely girl, well educated and highly accomp¬ 
 lished. Fendall Marbury was a son of William L. Marbury, Judge 
 of the Orphans’ Court of Prince George County, and Susan Fitz- 
 hugh Fendall, of a good old Maryland family. Her grandfather 
 and great-grandfather were distinguished civil and military officers 
 of their day. His grandmother, Marbury, was a sister of Judge 
 Alex. C. Magruder, of the Maryland Court of Appeals. Fendall 
 Marbury graduated at Princeton College in 1850; read law with his 
 uncle, Philip R. 'Fendall, of Washington, D. C., for two years; at¬ 
 tended the law department of the University of Virginia; com¬ 
 menced practice in Alexandria, Va. But his widowed mother 
 needing his assistance to manage her large estate, he returned to 
 “Wyoming;” married, and after a few years lost his wife. Some 
 years later, he married Miss Sallie C. Berry, who proved a good 
 stepmother ; continued to practice law, and to take an active part 
 in politics; represented his county in the State Legislature, and in

 tillery, of Virginia; was an intrepid soldier, and on the occasion of 
 his death, his cannon exploded at its seventy-eighth discharge, kill¬ 
 ing him instantly. The report of his commander records his gal¬ 
 lantry, and suggests that the broken gun be cast into a tablet to his 
 memory. He was buried at Warren ton, and a white shaft marks 
 his grave.

 She lost her parents in her infancy, and Mrs. Martin P. Brooke 
 adopted her and her younger brother, and became a mother to them. 
 Mrs. Brooke died a year ago, and Mrs. Green mourned the loss of a 
 parent. Her only child she has named for Mr. Brooke. I dined 
 with her in 1884, and was much interested in the family. Mr. Green 
 was born in Northumberland Co., Va., but his father, soon after his 
 son’s birth, returned-to Culpeper, his ancestral home. He was edu¬ 
 cated at William and Mary, and Emory and Henry Colleges; served 
 throughout the war as a private in the Thirteenth Infantry, C. S. A., 
 and the Black Horse Cavalry. He was in the principal battles of 
 the war on Virginia soil. Mr Green is now in charge of the War¬

 is a large, handsome and very prepossessing gentleman, with fine 
 social qualities and executive ability. See the chart of the Greens,

 ministered to several churches in Albemarle Co., Va.; was called to 
 Charlestown, W. Va., in 1853, and was for nearly fourteen years 
 rector of the parish, which prospered spiritually under his affection¬ 
 ate ministry; resigned in 1866, on account of ill-health; afterward 
 served for a few months, the church at Front Royal, but disease re¬ 
 quired him to quit preaching. He died at Charlestown, at the resi¬ 
 dence of his father-in-law, the late Humphrey Keys. His labors in 
 Charlestown were greatly blessed, and all denominations mourned 
 his loss. A tablet to his honor was placed in the church by his 
 affectionate parishioners. His first wife was a daughter of Rev. Ed¬

 He was born at Mountain View, in the town of Markham, and still 
 resides there. Pie received his literary course at the University of 
 Virginia; graduated in medicine at Philadelphia, and spent four 
 years at the Dispensary of that city; practiced both before and

 July 18, 1810; d. in Flemingsburg, Ky., October 25, 1860. Sister 
 Mary, after the death of our parents, was reared by our Aunt Lucy 
 Marshall (178), in Mason Co., Ky.,and by our stepmother (180). Her 
 finishing education was at a female school at Cincinnati, where she 
 met Mr. Harbeson, then in the leather trade. She was married by 
 Dr. Wm. L. Breckenridge, at our uncle, John Marshall’s house,four 
 miles west of Washington, Ky. After living a year in Cincinnati, 
 Mr. Harbeson spent some years in, and near, Washington, when he 
 purchased the Humphrey farm, two miles northwest of Washington. 
 In 1844, he purchased the Cox farm, adjacent to Flemingsburg, and 
 here he lived until his death. Sister Mary was tall and slender, 
 with dark eyes and smiling face, cordial in her greetings and con¬ 
 stant in her affections,— artless as a child, guileless as a lamb, and 
 pure as the dews of heaven (See 244 j). She united with the 
 Presbyterian Church when young, and was seldom absent from the 
 weekly prayer meeting, and the stated services of her church. Her 
 pastor, Dr. J. P. Hendrick, thus notices her: 
 
 “ It was my pleasure to know your sister well, during the latter 
 years of her life, and there are but few persons whose memory I cherish 
 with more sincere veneration and affection than hers. She was brought 
 up in the neighborhood of Washington, Ivy., and carefully instructed 
 both in secular knowledge and divine truth. Early in life she yielded 
 herself to the claims of the blessed Master, and became a communicant 
 in the Presbyterian Church of Washington, Ivy., then under the pastor¬ 
 ate of John H. Conditt. I knew her best after her removal to Flemings¬ 
 burg. She possessed great force of character. Her mind was quick in 
 its operations, and well stored with useful knowledge. She was an ob¬ 
 server of current events, read the periodical literature of her day, and 
 in bible truth and ecclesiastical matters was well informed. Her relig¬ 
 ious convictions were clear, deep and controlling. Duties to her Mas¬ 
 ter were paramount to all other duties, or rather permeated and entered 
 into every other. Her piety was intelligent, uniform and consistent; 
 and though her temperament was ardent, and at times enthusiastic, her 
 religion was of the even and thorough type. In her personal attach¬ 
 ments she was singularly earnest. Her friendships were warm and 
 lasting. In early and middle life, she was a woman of remarkable

 beauty. In later years ill health effaced some of her earlier personal 
 attractions,— though to the day of her death she was beautiful. She 
 was deeply loved and greatly bemoaned.” 
 
 Mr. Harbeson was born in Philadelphia, Penn., of Scotch-Irish 
 parents. His father died when Benjamin was three years old, and 
 he was reared by his maternal grandfather, Mathew Lawler, who 
 was a sea captain, and afterwards in the leather trade. The boy 
 was taught the currier and tanner’s trade. Before his majority, 
 Benjamin, by the death of his grandfather, inherited $33,000. With 
 his mother, he and his two brothers came to Cincinnati, and engaged 
 in the leather business. After removing to Fleming County, he was 
 elected to the Legislature in 1849. His person was handsome and 
 impressive, with black curling hair and sparkling black eyes. He 
 was five feet ten inches high, and weighed 230 pounds. Until his 
 strength and agility were reduced by rheumatism, he was an athlete. 
 Intelligent, lively, convivial, generous and hospitable, he made many 
 friends, and never lost one. The most remarkable trait of his char¬ 
 acter was his stern regard for truth. He was an over-indulgent 
 father, and the tenderest of husbands. He was a remarkable judge 
 of character, and seemed to know men by intuition. It was said 
 that he was never mistaken in his opinion of persons. In religion 
 he possessed the predilictions of his Scotch ancestry for Presbyteri¬ 
 anism. He lies buried in the Flemingsburg cemetery, where his 
 fine monument is inscribed with only his name and the dates of his 
 death and birth.

 Marshall or “ Mat.” From his infancy he stuttered, and the mer¬ 
 cantile business was selected for him. After receiving a good Eng¬ 
 lish education at Augusta College, and a smattering of Latin, from 
 his cousin, Dr. J. A. McClung (272), he went to Cincinnati as a 
 clerk in the wholesale grocery house of Kilgour, Taylor & Co. Here 
 he remained until his majority, when he, with another clerk, started 
 the wholesale house of Paxton & Keys, on Main street. Keys was 
 a splendid salesman, and Marshall an excellent bookkeeper and cor-

 respondent. The young men met with favor, and did a large busi¬ 
 ness. After a few years, Lafayette Maltby (652) became a partner, 
 and stationed himself at New Orleans; and branches were estab¬ 
 lished at Rio and Havana. His marriage was extremely fortunate. 
 Sister Sallie was one of the most amiable young ladies that I ever 
 met. She made my brother’s home an Eden of delight. She was 
 a favorite among her husband’s relatives. He was supremely blest 
 in his lovely wife and blooming daughter (2164). They were beau¬ 
 tiful in their lives, and in death they were not divided. At the age 
 of thirty-five, he died of disease of the kidneys; and a few years 
 later his widow followed him. They are buried at Covington. On 
 the death of my brother, our sister Mary (856) wrote me a long 
 letter, which is now mislaid. Sister Phoebe (188), in a letter dated 
 April 16, 1851, writes: “Sister wrote you immediately on the 
 death of our dear brother, and told you about his last days. It will 
 be gratifying to you to know that Marshall, though delirious, men¬ 
 tioned you three times in the last day of his life. He appeared con¬ 
 scious that you were not near him, and was, I think, very anxious 
 to see you. Brother, I think we will all be short lived. Our par¬ 
 ents were so before us, and one of our number being taken, should 
 warn us to prepare for death. God in his mercy grant that this ef¬ 
 fect may be produced on all of us. I send you a small lock of Mar¬ 
 shall’s hair.” [Now before me.] 
 
 ( b ) I copy a letter from sister Sallie, dated Covington, Ivy., May 
 4, 1851: “Dear Brother—I send you by mail a likeness of your 
 dear deceased brother. I would have sent it sooner, knowing it 
 would have been a gratification to you to even see his likeness, but 
 I have been entirely unfitted for anything. It is a copy of one I 
 had, and therefore not so good a likeness. When Marshall received 
 your letter desiring him to send you his likeness, he said it was just 
 what he had been thinking of doing, and that he wanted yours. It 
 would give me much satisfaction to have your likeness, and also to 
 receive letters from you. The happiness and prosperity of your 
 family will always be a subject of great interest to me. Lydia is in 
 fine health. She feels more and more, every day, the loss of her 
 dear father. My health is not good, but I have a great desire to live 
 for the sake of my child. There are none who can supply the place 
 of parents. I was much in hopes we would see you this spring. 
 Lydia will write to you soon. I heard from sister Mary (856) and

 Phoebe (188) a short time ago. They were all well. Love to your 
 wife. Ever your sister, Sallie P. Paxton.” My brother lived most 
 of his married life with his father-in-law, Philip Bush, one of the 
 best men I ever knew. In 1870, I called at his house in Covington 
 to see him. He was not at home, but I was told he could be found 
 in the cemetery. All his family, except one daughter, were there, 
 and he desired to be near them. He therefore had had himself ap¬ 
 pointed superintendent of the grounds, and he busied himself in 
 making green the graves of those he loved. I went to the cemetery 
 to meet him, and to drop a tear on my brother’s grave. I found 
 him therewith several hands improving the grounds. But Oh,how 
 he was changed! He was now unconcerned about this life. His 
 dear ones and his home were beyond the skies. Instead of the genial, 
 hearty salutation of his early life, he met me with a tear. Not long 
 afterwards he w T as gathered to his own. While his dear ones lived, 
 he was one of the most cordial and agreeable men I ever met. It 
 was sunshine to the heart to be in his company. His unbounded 
 love for “Marshall,” and his perfect confidence in him, were his fa¬ 
 vorite themes. On the occasion referred to, he spoke of him so 
 feelingly that my own grief was lost in his superior sorrow. When 
 I look back to the dark and cheerless years of my brother’s orphan¬ 
 age, I rejoice that he had ten years of married bliss, while sur¬ 
 rounded by intelligent Christian friends, who loved and almost 
 adored him. I will add the inscriptions on their tombs: 
 
 “Marshall Paxton, born February 4,1819; died February 12,1851. 
 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be 
 no more death. Rev. 21: 4.”

 OCO William McClung Paxton, b. in Washington, Ivy., 
 March 2, 1819, = October 1, 1840, Mary Forman, b. 
 September 25, 1819. My father, when I was four years old re¬ 
 moved to Columbus, O., to continue the practice of law; here my 
 mother died. My father married again, the cousin of my mother, 
 and we continued to reside in Columbus. In 1825 my father died, 
 while on a visit to Kentucky, and his four children were left in 
 charge of their step-mother. Though a faithful and pious woman, 
 she had no love for children, and was over zealous in training, but 
 wanting in affection. Perhaps it was for our good. She was a 
 woman of uncommon intellectual accomplishments, but she had no 
 patience with her wayward charges. Yet I owe so much to her in¬ 
 structions, that I shall never cease to thank her while she lives, and 
 to honor her name when her gray hairs shall descend to the grave. 
 (See No. 180.) We were sent to live with our Aunt, Lucy Mar¬ 
 shall (178), whose indulgence was a veil of charity, that covered our 
 many sins. But it was a severe change from parental love to the 
 rule of a step-mother. After my mother’s death, I had been my 
 father’s pet. I had inherited from the McDowells a flaming red 
 head, and had derived from some unknown source a magnificent - 
 cowlick, which left my forehead large and prominent. These pecu¬ 
 liar features called forth many remarks that were generally flatter-

 ing. Our step-mother soon grew tired of us, and sent us to school, 
 The nest was broken up, and the brood scattered. My sisters were 
 sent to boarding schools, and my brother Marshall and I went two 
 years to Augusta College. In 1832 we were at Cousin John A. 
 McClung’s, studying Latin under his tuition. There he left me, 
 and became a clerk in a wholesale house in Cincinnati (858). Left 
 alone, friendless, homeless and companionless, how I longed for affec¬ 
 tion and fellowship. In the “ Orr Mansion,” on the Ohio Cliffs, 
 with its wide corridors, high ceilings, haunted halls, and clattering 
 shutters, I had to sleep upstairs at the extreme end of the house, 
 and out of hearing of the family, all alone. I was just at the ghost- 
 seeing age of thirteen. How happy I was when Aunt McClung 
 would come, and allow me to make my pallet in her room. I next 
 went to Cincinnati and spent two years at the Catholic “ Athen¬ 
 aeum now St. Zavier’s College. In December, 1834, my step¬ 
 mother took me to Danville, Ivy., and entered me in the Freshman 
 Class of Center College. A month later she married Judge John 
 Green (180), and I took up my home for four years at “Wave- 
 land,” his hospitable dwelling a mile from Danville. Here the hap¬ 
 piest years of my unmarried life were spent. In 1838 I returned 
 to Washington, Ky., and entered on the study of law with McClung 
 & Taylor, living with my sister Phoebe. In 1849, I was licensed, 
 and after practicing a few months, removed to Platte Co., Mo., 
 where I still reside. In 1840 I returned and married Miss Mary 
 Forman, whose beauty charmed my youth, whose love inspired my 
 manhood, and whose faithfulness drives back the clouds of age. 
 After our return to Missouri, I purchased a large body of unim¬ 
 proved land, and foolishly left my practice, to live on it. After 
 nine years of unsuccessful farming, I returned to Platte City, and in 
 1850, opened a general store in partnership with Dr. H. B. Calla¬ 
 han. In 1853 we purchased the Platte City Water Mills. I was 
 active in business, and had accumulated a small fortune. But 
 when the war broke out, and all my friends went South, I found 
 that my security debts exceeded my property, and I saw nothing 
 but ruin before me. I therefore determined to resume the practice 
 of law. I succeeded and all my debts were paid and a competency 
 left. I paid 825,000 of other people’s debts, without a suit being in¬ 
 stituted against me. In 1870, finding myself free of debt and every 
 liability, I divided what I had into five parcels, giving one share

 to my wife, three shares to my three daughters, and kept one for 
 myself. But in 1875,1 became hard of hearing, and my practice was 
 ruined. My deafness has increased from year to year, until now I 
 can converse only by using a trumpet. I still keep an office and 
 make a few hundred dollars annually by conveyancing and exam¬ 
 ining titles. To employ the intervals of business, I commenced in 
 1878 to write poetry, and occasionally published a piece. In 1881, 
 I issued a volume of 135 pages of my fugitive pieces, and gave 
 six hundred copies to my friends. I had long been gathering genea¬ 
 logical data, and in 1884 I formed a chart of the Marshall family, 
 and had it engraved. Two hundred copies were printed and sent 
 to the principal members of the family. In July, 1884,1 started 
 on a visit to all my mother’s relatives in Kentucky, Virginia and 
 Maryland. My daughter, Phoebe, went with me. We spent two 
 months going from house to house, during which I gathered the 
 materials for this work. I have since been corresponding with 
 friends all over the Uuion to get the facts to be embodied in my 
 chart and book. If God spares me, I propose in a year or two, to 
 issue another volume of poems, some of which have appeared in our 
 county papers. I inherited Presbyterianism ; have long been a mem¬ 
 ber, and an elder in that church; have for thirty-five years super¬ 
 intended a Sabbath School, though deafness is a great disqualifica¬ 
 tion. I was a Whig before the war, and a mighty poor party- 
 Democrat since. I opposed secession with all my powers; sympa¬ 
 thized deeply with friends at the South, but knew their cause was 
 hopeless; never left my home for an hour; both parties seemed to 
 think I was harmless, and let me alone. My decided stand against 
 secession in the outstart, gave me influence with Federal officers, 
 and I did much to soften the asperities of war in my county. I 
 have only Southern blood in my veins — my friends and kindred 
 are all in the South, and it was to save them that I raised my voice 
 for the Union, and bowed to the stars and stripes, for the Forman 
 family, see No. 660.

 In early life he turned his attention to rearing fine stock; and, with 
 a view of selecting the best breeds that the world afforded, he paid 
 a visit to Europe, and after a thorough investigation, returned with 
 a choice herd. He possesses untiring energy, sound judgment, and 
 enlightened enterprise. A railroad depot is on his place, and he has 
 fostered a little town at Marshall’s station. He is growing wealthy, 
 and is beginning to manifest some political aspirations. He often 
 speculates successfully in tobacco and other produce. Everything 
 about him indicates prosperity. I have often enjoyed his hospital¬ 
 ity. Cousin Eliza has a heart full of kindness. She is a daughter 
 of James Dudley and Eliza Shumate, of Flemingsburg, Ky.

 caused a separtion in 1876, and Eliza is now living with her chil¬

 December 11,1824, = May 30,1843, Robert Elkin Neil, 
 of Columbus, Ohio, b. May 12, 1819. Cousin Jane lost her mother a 
 few days after her birth. But the feeble child survived, and when four 
 years of age, she was sent with me and my orphan brother and sisters 
 to live with Aunt Lucy Marshall (178) in that kindergarten she kept 
 at her home. Cousin Jane grew in beauty and loveliness, and when 
 I last saw her, at sweet seventeen, she possessed queenly beauty. 
 For some years we have kept up an occasional correspondence. 
 Though now upwards of sixty, she has not lost her dovedike inno¬ 
 cence, purity and affection. I am vain enough to quote from one of 
 her letters the following passage: “ I assure you I appreciate the kind 
 motive that prompted you to wish to keep up a correspondence 
 with a cousin who never can forget how, as a mere child she loved 
 you devotedly. I can see myself running to meet you and greet 
 you in the evening, when returning from school to Uncle John’s (178) 
 — how you would take me in your arms, caress me and show me a 
 thousand little kindnesses that won my heart’s love and devotion. 
 Those days of innocent childhood! How I look back upon them 
 with fond remembrance — upon my innocence and faith in every 
 one who was kind and tender to me. You, dear Cousin William, 
 I believe, was my beau ideal of all manliness. I have often regretted 
 that we had never met since those early days.” Cousin Jane’s home 
 is in Columbus, Ohio, but she is often with her daughters in Wash¬ 
 ington or Brooklin, Mass. I have made two efforts to meet her in 
 late years, but on both occasions she was with her daughter in New 
 England. Mr. Neil is a gentleman of sound and practical judg¬ 
 ment, a sagacious business man and a successful manager of his large 
 patrimony. His father was wealthy, and his wife brought him a 
 large estate. His father appointed him trustee of the large hotel in 
 Columbus, known as the “Neil House.” He has a large landed 
 property in the city, ivhich he is improving. His wealth enables 
 him to give a generous aid to every local enterprise, whether of im¬ 
 provement, charity or religion. He leads in every business project 
 for the advancement of the city, and he has done much to make Co¬ 
 lumbus a beautiful place.

 a member of the State Convention ; went into the Missouri E. Mili¬

 the commission business with no better success; in July 1854, re¬ 
 moved to St. Paul, Minn.; resumed the practice of law, and after 
 one year’s experience", was tempted to invest in real estate; suc¬ 
 ceeded for a time, — was burned out, and reduced to financial ex¬ 
 tremities ; took courage, borrowed money at exorbitant interest, 
 and built several houses; lost all during the war, but at its close 
 profited by the advance of property, and at length found himself 
 possessed of a sufficient sum to pay all his old debts. During all 
 his financial embarassments, Mr. McClung preserved his credit for 
 promptness, and could raise the money for his various speculations. 
 As Assessor of the city and subsequently of the county, he en¬ 
 joyed a good salary, and acquired much honor for his ability. In 
 1868, he was chief editor of the St. Paul Pioneer, and gained from 
 his Democratic friends the reputation of the best writer in the 
 West. In 1870, he published a volume entitled “Minnesota as it 
 is in 1870,” which still remains a book of standard authority. It 
 brought him $2,500 over expenses. In 1872 he was Secretary of 
 the St. Paul board of Public Works, with a salary of $1,000, and 
 at the same time was Assessor. For many years he has been an 
 influential member of the Chamber of Commerce, and by his in¬ 
 telligence and enterprise, has done much for the city and county of 
 St. Paul. He has been active in impressing on the people and city 
 authorities the importance of securing parks and roads, and in pro¬ 
 curing from Congress appropriations for the improvement of the 
 Mississippi. But in nothing, has his energy and public spirit ap¬ 
 peared to greater advantage, than in the organization and manage¬ 
 ment of Building Associations. Starting without capital, he has 
 proved himself a successful financier, and yet he has paid for most 
 of his capital from fifteen to twenty-five per cent per annum. His 
 real estate and loan office, dates from 1856, and the firm of “ Mc¬ 
 Clung, McMurran & Curry,” is doing an extensive business, and 
 enjoys an enviable reputation. I knew William well in his boyhood, 
 but for forty years all our communion has been through the mails. 
 His likeness is a fine picture of his father (272), and like him, in 
 middle life, he has more regard for the subtle deductions of logic, 
 than for the demonstrations of faith. He is a chaste and impressive 
 speaker, and a clear, forcible and epigrammatic writer. But the 
 calls of business leave him but little time for literary pursuits. His

 Police Commissioner in St. Louis, by Gov. Jackson, in 1861, but 
 retired on the change of State administration the same year; was 
 again appointed Police Commissioner by Gov. Phelps in 1877, and 
 served four years; was a Whig until the disorganization of that 
 party, and afterwards was a Democrat. He was from his youth 
 passionately addicted to manly field sports, and his dog, gun and 
 fishing tackle engaged his leisure hours. He was six feet tall, and, 
 prior to 1883, weighed 180 pounds; but in March of that year some 
 disease of the heart prostrated him on his couch, which he never 
 left. I visited him in 1884, and spent an hour by his bedside, en¬ 
 joying his‘genial conversation. His wife is tall and stately, intelli¬ 
 gent and agreeable; writes an excellent letter, and was tenderly at¬ 
 tentive to her husband. She is the daughter of James Anderson, a 
 wholesale merchant of Louisville, Ky., and Mary Anderson, an 
 English lady of intelligence and remarkable beauty. Though of

 bands. She is now with relatives in Florida. In 1837, John Bu¬ 
 ford went as a boy in his father’s family to Rock Island, 111. Here 
 he was appointed a cadet of West Point, where he graduated with 
 distinction in 1849, and was brevetted Second Lieutenant in the 2d 
 Dragoons, then commanded by Col. Twiggs. But, unlike his com¬ 
 mander, Buford remained true to the Union. In 1853, he was 
 made First Lieutenant, and in 1859 reached the rank of Captain; 
 was in the Utah expedition; in 1861, was made Inspector General, 
 with the rank of Major; in 1862, was on Gen. Pope’s staff; July 
 27, 1862, was appointed Brigadier General of volunteers, and as¬ 
 signed to Banks’ command ; was Chief of Cavalry under Burnside, 
 and was prominent in all the cavalry operations of the Army of the 
 Potomac. On his death-bed he was appointed Major General by 
 President Lincoln. Gen. Buford was a soldier by nature, and his 
 military education and experience made him one of the best com¬ 
 manders in the service. He enjoyed the confidence of his superiors, 
 and was a favorite with the rank and file. His fearlessness in the 
 hour of danger, and his coolness and discretion when others were in 
 dismay, fitted him for hazardous enterprises. He wasAvounded near 
 the Rappahannock River, in August, 1862; was reported killed at 
 Manassas, and on the bloody field of Gettysburg his intrepidity 
 saved the day. In November, 1863, his labors and exposure brought 
 on disease. He was removed to Washington, where, after lingering 
 several weeks, he died. His wife, then at Rock Island, Avas sent 
 for, but did not arri\ r e until after his death. When President Lin¬ 
 coln learned that the hero was dying, with characteristic promptness 
 he Avrote on a card: “I am informed that Gen. Buford will not 
 survive the day. It suggests itself to me that he be made a Major 
 General, for distinguished and meritorious services at the battle of 
 Gettysburg.” Two hours before his death he recewed with a smile 
 of gratitude, the hastily made out commission. After services at 
 the New York Avenlie Presbyterian Church, by Dr. Gurley, the re¬ 
 mains of the soldier Avere removed to West Point for burial. The 
 officers and men of his command have erected at his grave a monu¬ 
 ment twenty-five feet high, to the honor of their brave commander. 
 The following is one stanza of a poetic tribute to his memory, Avhich 
 has been extensively published :

 Buford is dead! 
 
 His men no more shall see that form 
 Dash fearless through the battle’s storm ; 
 
 They’ll charge no more with him the foe, 
 
 That falls beneath his crushing blow: 
 
 For tears and voiceless sorrow tell 
 In tones as sad as tolling bell, 
 
 That Buford’s dead. 
 
 Mrs. Buford lost all her children. A lovely daughter went to 
 the skies, repeating the nursery prayer: “Now I lay me down to 
 sleep; ” and a son, aged seventeen, was snatched from his school-fel¬ 
 lows and from a fond mother’s heart, to join the cherubs that had 
 gone before. It was said of Gen. Buford that he was the hand¬ 
 somest man in Rock Island County. Col. John Buford (father of 
 Gen. Buford) of Rock Island, Ill., was a brother of William Buford, 
 of Woodford Co., Ky. The latter married Fanny Kirtley, and from 
 her their sons, Tom and Abe, get their insanity. There is no crazy 
 blood in the descendants of Col. John Buford and of Charles Buford, 
 and these branches alone married into the Marshall family. See 
 Buford chart, 280 b. 
 
 Dr. McCown was educated at St. Joseph’s College, Bardstown, 
 Ivy. He first became a Methodist preacher, and was a professor in 
 Augusta College. When Transylvania University passed into the 
 control of the Methodists, Profs. McCown and Bascom went there. 
 But Prof. McCown witnessed so much crookedness in Bascom’s con¬ 
 duct, that he left the University. In a short time Prof. McCown 
 united with the Presbyterian Church, and preached at Walnut Hill. 
 He next went to Hopkinsville, and finally settled in Jefferson Co., 
 Ivy., and established “Forest Academy,” near Louisville. For 
 twenty-five years, he taught and preached, without receiving com¬ 
 pensation for the latter. But three years before his death, he found 
 the two Presbyterian Churches to which he had been so long preach¬ 
 ing were supplied with pastors, and that several Methodist Churches 
 in his vicinity were vacant. So he applied to Presbytery and ob¬ 
 tained permission to join the Methodist Conference, that he might, 
 without compensation, preach to the vacant Methodist Churches. 
 He fully explained to the Presbytery that his theological views were 
 unchanged, and to the honor of all concerned, consent was given. 
 Dr. McCown was not only a profound scholar, but was a meek, con¬ 
 scientious and prayerful man. He retired three times every day 
 with his wife for prayer.

 broken up by the war. For the last fifteen years of his life he was 
 U. S. Military Storekeeper at Newport, Ky.; was a Republican, and 
 in religion leaned to the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Keenon is now

 some woman,—sprightly and spirited,— fond of fashionable society 
 and proud of her family. I visited her in 1884, having the impres¬ 
 sion on my mind that Gen. Smith was dead, and when I alluded to 
 the late Gen. Smith, she frantically exclaimed: “What! do you 
 think I am a widow! I’ll let you know Gen. Smith is as live as a 
 cricket.” “ Cousin Lena,” I replied, “ you think I am a widower, 
 in search of a wife.” “Yes,” she exclaimed, “that is just what I 
 suppose.” She was mollified and became very complaisant, when I 
 told her that I had a wife just as spry as Gen. Smith. I have since 
 received several very pleasant letters from her. Gen. Smith is the 
 son of the distinguished John Speed Smith, aide of Gen. Harrison. 
 His mother was a sister of the noted Cassius M. Clay. At the age 
 of fifteen he served in the Mexican war, and rose to First Lieuten¬ 
 ant in the First Kentucky Cavalry, under Humphrey Marshall, 
 whom he afterwards met as a foe in the war for the Union. He 
 graduated at Transylvania University; read law in the office of 
 Chief Justice T. A. Marshall, and has practiced his profession when 
 not under arms. He was in the Kentucky Legislature at the out¬ 
 break of the war, and signalized himself by his ardent opposition to 
 secession and the neutrality of his State. He made a memorable 
 speech against J. C. Breckinridge and L. W. Powell on the resolu¬ 
 tion requesting them to resign as Senators from Kentucky. He en¬ 
 listed as a private in the Union cause; was with Gen. Baker at the

 1865, as a war Democrat; before the close of his second term, he 
 was appointed Governor of Montana Territory; resigned in 1869, 
 and returned to Kentucky. Gen. Smith, in 1876, was the candidate 
 for President on the Prohibition ticket. He is now an evangelist of 
 the Baptist Church of Kentucky, and a warm advocate of an U. S. 
 Constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture, importation 
 and sale of spiritous liquors. He is now lecturing in the Eastern 
 States in favor of Prohibition, and prophesies the speedy success of 
 the cause. See Green chart, 180 k, and Jones and Strother charts.

 Governor; was appointed Clerk of the Territorial House, and dis¬ 
 charged his duties with credit. Much of his time in the west was 
 spent in wild sports and adventures. His marriage was unfortunate, 
 and a separation ensued; his wife resides with her father at the St. 
 James Hotel, in Kansas City; one of the boys is with his father in 
 Georgetown, where he is a clerk in the postoffice; the other children 
 are with their mother. Mr. Duke is true to the instinct of his an¬

 ton, Ky.; joined J. H. Morgan’s militia company; in September, 
 
 1861, when the Federal troops took possession of the State, Morgan 
 and Duke went South, and were mounted, and their followers re- 
 organized into a cavalry company; Morgan was made Captain and 
 Duke First Lieutenant; this company and two others formed what 
 was known as “Morgan’s Squadron;” the fall of 1861 was passed 
 in the vicinity of Bowling Green, in various military operations, 
 under Gen. Hindman; in February, 1862, the Confederates evacu¬ 
 ated Kentucky; went to Nashville; Fort Donaldson surrenders; 
 Nashville evacuated; the army of Gen. A. S. Johnston march South; 
 Morgan and Duke continue to harass the Federals in the vicinity 
 of Nashville; they go to Huntsville; thence to Corinth; April 4, 
 
 1862, Morgan is commissioned as Colonel, and is authorized to con¬

 ton, September 4, 1862; after operating in Northern Kentucky,

 1862, Duke is commissioned a Colonel; the third raid into Kentucky 
 starts December 22,1862; in retreat, they leave Bardstown, Decem¬ 
 ber 30, 1862; Duke is wounded December 29, 1862, at Rolling

 (b) Gen. Duke, after the war, settled in Louisville, engaged in 
 the practice of law, and met with flattering success. In 1867, he 
 published his “History of Morgan’s Cavalry,” a volume of 578 oc¬ 
 tavo pages. It displays great military genius, and superior literary 
 acquirements. The author modestly veils himself in shadows, while 
 he i^aints his hero in effulgent light, and secures to him merited 
 honors, which his adversaries are disposed to withhold. 
 
 In July, 1884, I visited him, his charming wife and lovely chil¬ 
 dren, at their hospitable mansion in Louisville. Though a stranger, 
 I met with most cordial reception and flattering consideration. He is 
 a small man with a great soul. Mrs. Duke is a beautiful woman, 
 sprightly, intelligent and spirited. She is a sister of Gen. John H. 
 Morgan, and cherishes his memory with affection and pride. Her 
 children are patterns of beauty, sweetness, modesty and intelligence. 
 
 Gen. Duke was elected a representative of the City of Louis¬ 
 ville in the State Legislature in 1869.

 Having taken his diploma in the law department of the University, 
 he settled in Richmond and practiced until the war broke out; en¬ 
 listed as a.private in Company G, Eleventh Virginia Infantry; he 
 passed through the battles of Williamsburg, the Seven Pines, the 
 fights around Richmond, and the second battle of Manassas. At the 
 last his head was pierced by a musket ball. His brother William saw 
 his lifeless body, but in the heat of battle, could not give it atten¬

 Marshall once in Covington, Ky., and remember him as a handsome 
 gentleman and a brilliant talker. In Collins, Ky., he is ranked 
 among the poets of that State. He was the principal, or the assis¬ 
 tant editor of literary or political papers at different periods in 
 Louisville, Frankfort, Columbus, Cincinnati and Memphis. He 
 was an erratic genius, and his life was tarnished by extravagancies, 
 dissipations and gallantries. Mrs. Marshall yet lives in Covington, 
 Ky. I received a letter from her in 1884, written with her own 
 hand, and I visited her the same year. She has lost the sight of 
 one eye, and her hand trembles with age, but she is still agreeable, 
 and takes a lively part in conversation. She does not refer with 
 pride to her married life.

 Plenipotentiary to China; resided at Shanghai until 1854; returned 
 to Louisville; elected to Congress in 1855, and re-elected in 1857, as 
 an American ; made strenuous efforts to preserve peace in the early 
 part of 1861, but finding war inevitable, went to Nashville and

 Louisville and continued the practice of law until his death. Mrs. 
 Marshall still lives with her children. She is a daughter of Dr. 
 Charles McAlister, of Franklin, Tenn. She is highly respected by 
 all her acquaintances. I was shown a letter written by her in 1873, 
 to the late Martin P. Marshall (182) which I pronounced, at the 
 time, as of surpassing excellence of both matter and style.

 nette is leading a very retired life in Louisville. She writes me 
 long and interesting letters. I met her at her home in 1884, and 
 liked her very much. She is an Episcopalian, as most of her father’s 
 family are. Mr. Turner was born in Loudon Co., Va., and spen 
 his life in Louisville, as a merchant. 
 
 Joseph Doniphan, b. in Augusta, Ky., August 19, 1823, 
 d. May 2, 1873, = December 16, 1856, Elizabteh A. 
 
 Ward, daughter of Washington Ward and Maria Reynolds. He 
 was a graduate of Augusta College; studied law with his grand¬ 
 father, Martin Marshall; practiced law in Augusta; elected to the 
 State Legislature in 1849; when the war broke out, he espoused the 
 Union side; chosen Lieutenant Colonel of Col. C. A. Marshall’s 
 Sixteenth Regiment of Infantry; resigned in 1862, and the same 
 year was elected Circuit Judge of his District, and served out his 
 full term of six years. He then declined re-election and resumed 
 the practice of law. In 1871, he was chosen Chancellor of the 
 Covington District, and held office until his death. During the 
 war, some new and interesting points of law were discussed before 
 him, and his decisions were regarded as conclusive and of vast im¬ 
 portance. In 1867, he united with the Baptist Church, and be¬ 
 came a zealous worker in the Church and Sabbath School. He 
 died suddenly, and was buried by the order of Odd Fellows. Three 
 hundred members joined in the procession. His wife possessed 
 great personal beauty, and her family were noted for loveliness. 
 I met her at her home in 1884, and found her a handsome and in¬ 
 teresting matron.

 Culpeper Co., Va., and is now practicing law at Baltimore. Their 
 children are: 1, Alex. Taliaferro Nelson, b. October 8, 1872; 2,

 Maupin, b. August, 1847, d. at “ Annandale,” Culpeper Co., Octo¬ 
 ber 4, 1876. Mrs. Maupin is living with her mother (502) at “An¬ 
 nandale,” and mourns her early widowhood, and drops tears over 
 the fresh grave of her honored father. Her letters to me breathe 
 sadness, and she complains that her life is blighted. Mr. Maupin 
 was the third son of the late Prof. S. Maupin, of the University of 
 Virginia, and Sallie Washington. In 1863, at the age of sixteen, 
 he entered the naval service of the Confederacy, and was attached 
 to the ship “Patrick Henry,” stationed in James River for the de¬ 
 fence of Richmond. When the city was evacuated, in 1865, he un¬ 
 dertook to join Kirby Smith, west of the Mississippi. At New Or¬ 
 leans he was confined in a loathsome prison, and subjected to treat¬ 
 ment which brought him to death’s door. When released, he re¬ 
 turned to Virginia, and through the influence of his uncle, Col. Peter 
 G. Washington, then residing in New York, he got a position on a 
 ship engaged in the China trade, and made two voyages to that 
 country. His father died in 1871, and he returned to his home, 
 united with the Episcopal Church, became a vestryman of Emman¬ 
 uel Church, Rapidan Station, and the remainder of his life was de¬ 
 voted to his Master’s cause. His thrilling adventures, his varied 
 experience and his humble Christian spirit made a lovely character. 
 His life is an interesting episode, and his memory is a fragrant bo- 
 quet of flowers.

 Cousin Sallie is possessed of rare beauty, uncommon in¬ 
 telligence and every womanly grace and virtue. She often writes 
 for the periodical press, and her essays are much admired. She has 
 the courage to submit her compositions to the reading public, and 
 they have met with favorable notice in many quarters. It is even 
 said that she has a volume of sketches now nearly ready for the 
 press. Should the volume appear, I claim the privilege of recom¬ 
 mending it in advance. Though a brilliant conversationalist and an 
 ornament to society, she finds her pleasure in her private study, her 
 home duties and her Christian enterprises. My correspondence with 
 her has convinced me of her literary acquirements; and her per¬ 
 sonal favors and attentions have secured my gratitude. She lives 
 with her mother, Mrs. Pope (554), N.-W. cor Seventh and Chestnut 
 streets, Louisville, Ky.

 took her now, only darling, to its father, to endure with him the 
 dangers and exposures of camp life. The little one became the 
 “ daughter of the regiment.” Her father was a Captain of a com¬ 
 pany in the Second Virginia Cavalry, and afterwards a member of 
 Gen. Longstreet’s staff, and Judge Advocate of his corps. The 
 bright little maiden was a favorite with rank and file, and many a 
 rugged soldier took her to his loving arms, and shed tears on her 
 bright ringlets as she prattled tenderly of the little ones he had left 
 at his distant home. When peace returned her father sought his 
 former residence, on “Diamond Hill,” at Lynchburg. Here Nannie 
 was sent to St. Mary’s School, and by her affectionate spirit and 
 heartfelt kindness endeared herself to her companions. Her purity 
 and intelligence, her cordial greeting, and her sympathetic heart, as 
 well as the alms she contributed to the poor, introduced her to all 
 classes, and made her a favorite throughout the city. Mr. Withers 
 from a boy had been her schoolmate. He was in all respects worthy 
 of the flower he plucked. The marriage was solemnized with pomp 
 and gayety. The number and value of the wedding preseuts attested 
 the strong hold Nannie had on the affections of hundreds. As she had 
 been the child of her father’s regiment, she was now the idol of the 
 whole city. But ere one year of married bliss was passed, she was 
 called to join the choir of seraphs above. The whole city united in 
 mourning for one they regarded as their own lovely daughter. Four 
 hundred letters of condolence poured in on the stricken parents, and 
 unnumbered evidences of sympathy were bestowed. A memorial 
 volume, with a handsome portrait as a frontispiece, has been pub¬ 
 lished and sent to her friends; and her lovely countenance smiles 
 upon me from the printed page as I write, Mr. Withers is teller in 
 the Commercial Bank of Lynchburg, Va., and is highly respected 
 and greatly beloved.

 sions among my relatives, I have never met one that possessed in 
 greater perfection the higher and nobler traits of female character. 
 She is a Juno among women! She is large and handsome, dignified 
 and generous, spirited and gracious, and fearless and conscientious. 
 I spent a week with her in Louisville, Ky., in July, 1884. The 
 moment I entered her door I felt at home. As a daughter she met 
 me, and as a father I was treated. She hallows the memory of her 
 parents, and rejoices in the mutual love and reciprocal confidence 
 of her sisters. Her parents and hei* grandparents had no sons, and 
 I have often noticed that where the children were all girls, they 
 were good and lovely. At the time of his marriage, Mr. Herndon 
 was teller of the Bank of Kentucky, at Henderson. He is now sec¬ 
 retary and treasurer of the Gilbert & Mallory Publishing Co., of 
 Louisville, Ky. He is cordial in manners and a splendid talker.

 Circuit Judge, an author of several law books. Issue: 1, Leonard

 24, 1844, = December 28, 1869, Agnes R. Kirkland, of 
 Baltimore, b. June 14, 1849. Capt. Barton was reared by his step- 
 grandmother, Ann Cary Randolph, at “ Vaucluse,” near Winches¬ 
 ter, Ya. After receiving a primary education at Winchester, Acad¬ 
 emy, he went to the Virginia Military Institute, and was interrupted 
 by the breaking out of the war, yet he was afterwards granted a di¬ 
 ploma. At the age of seventeen, he entered the Confederate army 
 as Sergeant-Major of the 33d Virginia Infantry, Stonewall Brigade; 
 was slightly wounded in the side at the battle of first Manassas; was 
 taken prisoner at the battle of Kernstown, and confined at Fort 
 Delaware until August, 1862; exchanged, and resumed his place in 
 the army; was made Lieutenant of infantry, and appointed on the 
 staff of Gen. Elisha Frank Paxton, of the Stonewall Brigade, with 
 the rank of Captain; was made Assistant Adjutant-General; was 
 severely wounded at the battle of Chancellorsville, May 3,1863, by 
 a minie ball, which entered his right shoulder and lodged under the 
 left shoulder; it was removed and is still preserved; rejoined the 
 army in September, 1863; was wounded at the battle of Spottsylva- 
 nia C. H., May 12, 1864, by a ball penetrating the fleshy part of the 
 arm, above the elbow; rejoined the army after six weeks, and was 
 slightly wounded at the battle of Monocacy, in August, 1864, and 
 in the same battle his horse was killed under him; was severely 
 wounded at the battle of Winchester, September 19, 1864; after

 Hatchers’Run, near Petersburg, and his horse was also wounded; 
 was slightly wounded at Hare’s Hill, near Petersburg, March 23, 
 1865, and at last surrendered with Gen. Lee at Appomattox C. H. 
 II is commission as Major was made out, but was not delivered before 
 the war ended. Capt. Barton was at the side of his commander, 
 Gen. Elisha Franklin Paxton, when, at Chancellorsville, May 3, 
 1862, the latter fell; he heard the thud of the ball that pierced his 
 breast, received the falling hero in his arms, and heard his dying 
 words, “Bind up my arm.” He testifies that Gen. Paxton, whose 
 early life was disgraced by profanity and violence, was so wrought 
 upon by the dangers and vicissitudes of war, as to offer daily prayer, 
 to read daily from his bible and to bear it constantly on his heart. 
 He united with the Church, and, like Gordon and Havelock, was 
 a Christian soldier. I spent a few days with Capt. Barton, in 1884,

 but in the mathematical precision that characterized his words and 
 actions. Fie is a successful lawyer in Baltimore; and on one of the 
 railroads, ten miles from the city, he has erected a family mansion, 
 and has his own gas factory and water works. Everything about 
 him is reduced to military discipline. The courage and spirit that 
 made him a soldier in war, will make him a nabob in peace. I

 army, and served to the end, having reached the rank of Lieuten¬ 
 ant; went to Switzerland, and after studying there, finished his 
 medical education at Paris, France; returned and practiced several 
 years in Baltimore; abandoned his profession to devote himself to 
 Botany and other scientific pursuits. He is now teaching a private

 reputation by the able and impartial manner in which he discharged 
 the duties of his office; in 1874, he returned to Flemingsburg, and 
 resumed the practice of law; here he still lives, and his Democratic 
 friends are pressing his name for Congress. He is frank, bold, hospita¬ 
 ble and liberal. His generous and unselfish life has surrounded him 
 with friends, who are anxious to do him honor. His liberal habits 
 have cost him two fortunes, and yet he has led a sober and abstem¬ 
 ious life. He never fails to respond to the calls of charity, religion 
 and public enterprise. I am proud of my nephew, and rejoice in his 
 honors. Issue of 2d marriage: 1, Amy Andrews Harbeson, b. No¬

 bad success. They afterwards removed to Goliad Co., Texas, and 
 on an immense ranche are rearing horses and cattle. Mr. Wilson 
 sometimes brings his stock to market in Kentucky. Mary is in per¬ 
 son tall, handsome, noble and commanding, and in spirit is as free, 
 joyous and independent as the wild winds of Texas. She mounts 
 her mustang and rides where she listeth. She is as fearless and ac¬ 
 tive as the tiger. And yet she is conscientious, even to piety, fas¬ 
 cinating in conversation, diligent in domestic duties, and agreeable 
 in society. Mr. Wilson is a son of John C. Wilson and Elizabeth 
 Morgan. Issue: 1, Mamie Wilson, b. July 14, 1866; 2, Benjamin

 Lydia Paxton, b. in Covington, Ivy., July 23, 1841, = 
 August 10, 1859, Frank A. Blackburn, b. in Woodford 
 
 Co., Ivy., December 26, 1836; d. in Saline Co., Mo., November 11, 
 1879. At the age of ten, Lydia had lost her parents, and she was 
 reared in the happy family of her grandfather, Philip Bush 1858). 
 At the age of thirteen, Mr. Blackburn removed with his parents to 
 Covington. On attaining his majority, he engaged in the business of 
 a wholesale grocer in Cincinnati, until the war. He then purchased 
 a mill in Covington; in 1863, he purchased a farm in Woodford 
 Co., Ky., and engaged in stock raising; in 1868, he sold out and re¬ 
 moved west, settling in the western part of Saline Co., Mo. He was 
 the first Master of the Saline County Grange; through his instru¬ 
 mentality the Chicago & Alton railroad was run through his farm, 
 and a depot established to suit him; he laid off a small town, which 
 was called for him, Blackburn ; while preparing for a hunting expe¬ 
 dition, and while exhibiting a new pistol to a friend, it was accident¬ 
 ally discharged, and the ball entering his left side, killed him in¬ 
 stantly. He was a social, refined and agreeable gentleman, but in 
 business he was too generous and lenient to be successful. Lydia 
 possesses remarkable executive abilities, and is a prosperous farmer, 
 a discreet manager, an admirable gardener, and a votary to flowers. 
 I visited her July 4, 1884, and found her crops more promising than 
 I had elsewhere seen. Her table was supplied with nine kinds of 
 vegetables, and among them were cucumbers two inches in diameter, 
 and large, full grown roasting ears. She has three grown sons: 1, 
 Marshall Paxton Blackburn, L. L. B., b. June 9, 1860. He was 
 married August 12, 1884, to Mary E. Logsdon, b. January 19,1870, 
 and only fourteen and a half years of age. He is a graduate of the 
 law department of the University of Missouri; 2, Churchill J. Black¬ 
 burn, M. D., b. July 10, 1862. He has also the diploma of the Hos¬

 2166 Anna Maria Paxton, b. in Platte Co., Mo., February 12, 
 1847; named after my mother. They tell me that she is 
 like me in disposition, and that I am partial to her. Well, I shall 
 not deny the charge. Justice as well as natural affection, demands 
 of me some return for her obedience, attention and veneration. 
 She knows instinctively, my tastes, supplies my wants, and suits 
 herself to my whims and caprices. In sickness or affliction, no 
 other nurse could be so faithful, and no other friend so sympathetic. 
 Anna has cultivated her heart as well as her mind. She neither 
 knows nor cares for the ordinary gossip and frivolity of the town. 
 She engages in none of the wordly schemes for mirth or pass-time. 
 The affairs of the church, the labors of the Sunday School, and the 
 works of charity and benevolence call forth her energies. She 
 visits the scholars at their homes, and her zeal, her prayers and her 
 faith are daily at work for the spiritual good of her charges. She 
 seeks out the destitute and afflicted, and carries joy to many hearts 
 by her sympathy and alms. She is a splendid scribe, and the re¬ 
 corder so values her services, that he pays her liberal wages, and will 
 permit no one else to touch his records. Her earnings are all be¬ 
 stowed in charity. She reads much, but is interested only in moral 
 and religious topics. The bible is her daily delight. She is ivell 
 grounded in theology, and is a thorough Presbyterian.

 Tillie F. Paxton, named after her mother’s lovely sister,

 Algernon Sidney Tebbs. Tillie is the fairest of my daughters, and 
 one of the most lovely of women. Cheerful and happy by nature, the 
 troubles of life fall gently upon her. Her amiable disposition and 
 agreeable manners with gentleness, intelligence and truth, make her 
 a general favorite. Her reading is more discursive than Anna’s, 
 yet the bible, religious books and papers occupy chief places in her 
 studies. She is admired and beloved for the virtues of her heart, 
 as well as for the excellencies of her person. For years she has had 
 the infant class in her Sunday school. Like her sister she is a solid 
 Presbyterian. She is enthusiastically fond of shrubs and flowers, 
 and claims the yard and garden as her own. Her marriage was 
 not fortunate, and she returned to the parental roof, with two 
 daughters: 1, Laura G. Tebbs, b. in Platte Co., Mo., May 20,1870.

 w ' b. in Platte City, Mo., January 16, 1853. She is more a 
 woman of fashion and society than my other daughters. She has 
 traveled extensively, and has seen much of the world. Her read¬ 
 ing is more in the walks of belleletters and poetry, and her associa¬ 
 tions more with the gay and wordly. She finds pleasure in reading, 
 contemplation and correspondence. She has strong good common 
 sense, self-reliance, practical judgment and decision. Her literary 
 taste and general information make her a spirited writer. Her let¬ 
 ters sparkle with wit, and her conversation ripples with humor. She 
 keeps the house in order, and in matters of taste is supreme. 
 
 a father’s dying blessing on his daughters. 
 
 My daughters, draw near and receive my last blessing; 
 
 For soon shall my spirit be free. 
 
 This parting to you will be sad and distressing; 
 
 But death lias no terrors for me. 
 
 My daughters, I leave you in charge of your mother; 
 
 Be dutiful, loving and true. 
 
 In trouble and sorrow vouTl comfort each other, 
 
 And life will have pleasures for you. 
 
 Dear Anna, this cross I commit to your keeping — 
 
 A type of the faith you’ve possessed; 
 
 From childhood you’ve borne it, mid gladness and weeping. 
 And still on thy heart let it rest.

 You'll need no longer my carressing, 
 
 Since you have chosen Mary's part. 
 
 Dear Tillie I give thee this glittering anchor — 
 
 The symbol of hope that is thine; 
 
 Thy soul is like gold that for ages won’t canker ; 
 
 And pure as the gem from the mine. 
 
 Thy children surpass, in their sweetness and beauty, 
 The roses with which they are decked. 
 
 To rear them for God, is a mother’s first duty, 
 
 And one that she dare not neglect. 
 
 Thy children, Tillie, yet shall bless thee — 
 
 Those idols of thy loving heart — 
 
 Their waywardness shall not distress thee; 
 
 From wisdom's viays they'll not depart. 
 
 Dear Phoeb§, receive this white mantle my daughter; 
 
 ’Tis charity’s veil that I give; 
 
 The faults of thy neighbor, like writing on water, 
 Should never in memory live. 
 
 Dear Phoebe, my darling, I tenderly love thee 
 With yearnings that death can’t destroy; 
 
 My spirit, believe me, shall hover above thee, 
 
 That nothing thv path may annoy. 
 
 I give thee, Phcebe, my last blessing, 
 
 And may thy heart be filled with love ,— 
 
 Good-will to all mankind expressing, 
 
 And fellowship with God above.

 THE ALEXANDERS. 
 
 1. The grandfather of Eugene Alexander was William Alexan¬ 
 der, a native of Belfast, and a descendant of one of that noble band 
 of heroes who barred the gates of Derry against the encroachments 
 of a tyrant. Of course he was a Presbyterian. He settled in Berke¬ 
 ley Co., W. Va., and there married Jane Sherrard, also a native of 
 Ireland. His son: 
 
 2. Samuel Hamilton Alexander, was b. in Berkeley Co., W. 
 Va., September 4, 1798; d. in Moorefield, W. Va., April 13, 1882. 
 At the age of sixteen, Samuel left his parents in Berkeley County,

 ness. In 1832, he joined the Presbyterian Church, and in 1846,

 ments, having spent five years in France, Germany and England, 
 pursuing his studies, and at last graduated at the University of

 He represented his County in the State Legislature from 1871 to 
 1873. Cousin Nellie is one of the most gifted authors of the day, 
 and before her marriage was the acknowledged belle of Louisville 
 and Frankfort, and was the pet and pride of the State. Her beauty, 
 intelligence, vivacity and spirit gave her the first place in Frank¬ 
 fort society. Mr. McAfee was serving his first term in the lower 
 House of the Legislature, and was regarded as one of the most bril¬ 
 liant and promising young men of Kentucky. They were married 
 and received the congratulations of the whole state. She attended 
 her husband, when called to Frankfort for legislative duties; and on 
 one occasion was occupying his seat in his absence, when a vote was 
 taken. She voted in her husband’s place, and amidst general hil- 
 
380

 ( 2440 ) HUMPHREY MARSHALL. 
 
 arity, her vote was, without objection, recorded. She claims that 
 she is the only lady who has ever enjoyed this privilege. She com¬ 
 menced writing for the press at the age of eighteen, and still continues 
 to add to the library she has already published. In Collin’s History of 
 Kentucky her name appears high in the list of native poets and nov¬ 
 elists, and the periodical press pay liberally for her contributions. 
 Among her published volumes the following are named : “ A Bunch 
 of violets,” “ Leaves from the Book of my Heart, ” “ Eleanor Mor¬ 
 ton, or Life in Dixie, 1865; “Sodom Apples,” 1866; “Dead Under 
 the Roses,” 1867; “ Wearing the Cross,” 1868; “ As by Fire,” 
 1869; “Passion, or Bartered and Sold.” Her last novel is, “Crim¬ 
 inal Through Love.” As she is yet young, we may expect continued 
 fruit from her fertile pen. Her style is the result of inspiration 
 rather than study. She writes with great rapidity. It is her habit 
 to rise several hours before day and write uninterruptedly until 
 breakfast. There is neither plot or moral in her stories; but her fas¬ 
 cinating style, her bold, lofty, thrilling and sublime flights through 
 the realms of rhetoric, fill the reader with admiration ; and the soft, 
 sweet and plaintiff voice of pity and love, move and melt him to 
 tears. In July, 1884 I enjoyed the hospitality of Cousin Nellie, 
 and met for a few minutes her husband. Like her father she is 
 fleshy, and she possesses all his spirit and brilliance. She lives in 
 Louisville. Issue: 1, Julia S. McAfee, b. May 1, 1879. Since 
 the above was writing I have read her “ As by Fire,” and was 
 delighted with it. Her style is more ornate than any author of the 
 present or past.

 the blackfords. 
 
 ( b ) Several brothers, Blackford, came to America and settled 
 in New Jersey. The son of one of them went to Indiana, and, when 
 the State was formed, became a Judge of the Supreme Court and 
 Reporter.- (Vide Blackford’s Indiana Reports). Subsequently he 
 became one of the first Judges of the Supreme Court of Claims of 
 the United States. The son of another brother settled in Maryland, 
 and has descendants there. The son of a third brother, when twenty- 
 one years of age, came to Virginia, about the close of the last cen¬ 
 tury, and established the “Isabella” furnace, in Page County. He 
 amassed a large fortune, lived to a great age, and attained distinc¬ 
 tion. His son, William M. Blackford, was born in 1801, and died 
 in 1864 of over-anxiety about the war, in which his five sons were 
 actively engaged, and for whose safety and welfare he was deeply 
 solicitous. Plis wife, who still lives, was Mary Berkeley Minor, the 
 only daughter of Gen. John Minor, of Fredericksburg, Va., and 
 Lucy Landon Carter, of King George County. One of his sons was:

 a student, academic and legal, from 1850 to 1855. After gradu¬ 
 ating in both departments, he commenced the practice of law in the

 tice in Lynchburg, where he has the honor of being the President 
 of the People’s National Bank, and Attorney for the Midland rail¬ 
 road. His wife is the charming daughter of the late Thomas Col¬ 
 ston. . She still possesses beauty and vivacity. See Nos. 620 and
