"John Marshall, b. at Washington, Ky.,January 1, 1795, d. at his home on Mill Creek, Mason Co., Ky., September 3, 1859, = 1818, his cousin, Lucy Marshall, b. at “Walnut Grove,” 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 1838, when his reduced 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 information 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 capabilities 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."
