I have hit a brick wall. If anyone has information on a William Marshall (possibly middle initial of "M") born around 1817 in either PA or KY and who died in KY. I think he died in 1887, but could have died before 1870 because all records I find of his family from 1870 onward do not list him and Ann M Marshall (Botts Hart), his wife, is listed as a widow. I know of one child, my great great grandfather, David C Marshall. I am trying to trace my Marshall lineage back. No DNA matches have any more information either. Any help is appreciated. I found one record I believe to be this William having his death as 29 Jan 1887, but I'm not positive this is the correct William. Some records I believe to be him have him born in PA and some say KY, so I am confused on this. I know he lived is KY and was supposed to have owned some property (possibly a plantation and a hotel). His wife is Ann M Botts. She was also married to Samuel Hart before marrying William Marshall and had a son from this marriage of a Charles Hart who was born around 1847 in KY. This is all I know about Charles Hart. William and Ann married in 1856. Ann died in 1895 in KY. Ann's parents were Charles Botts and Sarah Covington Tutt. Thanks again.
