    Notes for WILLIAM MARSHALL:
    William Marshall, son of Moses and Mary (Adams) Marshall is listed in the census of Wilkesville Township, Gallia County (adjacent to Meigs County), Ohio, for 1840 with two children, a son and a daughter, both under 5 years of age.
    
    The census of Pulaski County, Illinois, for 1850 and 1860 lists him as a resident. The census of 1860 has him a resident of township 15, range 12. He lived near the town of Olmstead, where he owned a farm. The census of 1850 calls him a planter and a cooper.
    
    Rebecca (Darst) Marshall, his wife, died August 4, 1862, and was buried in a family cemetery on the Marshall farm. Stories handed down in the Marshall family indicate that Rebecca (Darst) Marshall died from grief over the marriage and removal of her daughter, Emma, who was very close to her mother.
    
    In the family cemetery were also buried two daughters, Malisse Edmonia and Lydia. The latter drowned herself in the Ohio River as a result of the marriage of her sister, Emma.
    
    July 11, 1866, William Marshall died on his farm, where his son Martin Van Buren Marshall and his family were living, following the death of Rebecca (Darst) Marshall. He was also buried in the family cemetery.
    
    In 1929, an inquiry regarding the family cemetery was made of the then owner, G. E. Curt. He stated that he came to the Marshall farm about 1899,but at that time there were no markers or signs of graves, although older residents of the area said the cemetery had been on the farm. Avis (Hawkins) Gladden (1873-1936), daughter of Emma (Marshall) Hawkins, and grand-daughter of William and Rebecca (Darst) Marshall, recalled that as a child she visited her Uncle Martin Marshall's farm quite often and played with his children. At that time there was a family cemetery fenced in, with markers.
