Marshall was a Civil War veteran. He served in Company K of the 37th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry Militia.[2]
He married Phoebe "Pet" Olmstead about 1866. They had 5 children, 2 who lived into adulthood. In 1870 they were found in Jersey Mills and in 1880 in Mifflin Township. [3] [4] He was often listed as a farmer, but his son gave his occupation as "Circular Sawman." In 1900, they were in Williamsport, PA, where Marshall was a Salesman for a Grocery business. [5]
The family had a strong connection to Jersey Shore, PA. Marshall, Phoebe, and Oella Williamson were accepted into the Jersey Shore Methodist Church on April 9, 1905. [6]
