• General Notes
  • 
    "MARSHALL HALL was the colonial seat of the Marshalls of Maryland, who were a branch of the Virginia Family. They trace their ancestry back to John Marshall, Esq. of Headingly, County York, Member of Parliament for Yorkshire in the 16th Centure, 1550, as seen by an inscription engraved upone the framed coat-of-arms in the family today. William Marshall, the Founder of the Maryland Family, came from England to what is now Charles County as early as 1641. He obtained a grant of 500 acres from Lord Baltimore, March 21, 1651, which was designated as MARSHALL. His second wife was Mrs. Katherine Hebden, widow of Thomas Hebden. His three children were: William, Joshua, and Elizabeth. William I died 1673, so the true story of MARSHALL HALL centers about the name of his son, William Marshall II, who was designated as 'Ye head of Wicomico River'.
