«tab»Marshall Jackson (Chase) was born in Pompey, NY, near or in the Catskills, moved to Medina Co. Ohio with his parents when a child. He was the 13th child, the youngest in the family. They always baked square pies in those days, which wouldn't cut to 13 pieces, so he and his little sister got the corner pieces split. He was bound out after his father's death to his older brother John, with the understanding that he was to remain until he was 21, but he bought his older brother off with $200 and left sooner. He drove a herd of cattle across country to Albany, buying on the way to increase the size of his herd. These cattle had long horns. At one point he met a young man with a young lady in a buggy. The buggy could hve passed safely enough with the horses at a walk, but the young man insisted in passing through at a trot. The horn of an ox caught in the spokes of a wheel, upsetting the carriage and landing the young lady on a stone pile. At Albany our hero had a chance to see a whale's skeleton for 10 cents, but that was too much money. He didn't see it.
«tab»When he moved from Medina County, Ohio, to Michigan, the journey was made with an ox team, over corduroy roads through the swamps. One day they made such slow progress that after driving all day, they left the team and walked back to the same place where they had stayed the night before and stayed there again. It was only a mile or so.
«tab»His wife had a tin bake oven. People used to come for two miles to borrow it. Most people cooked bread in a kettle. She was one of the first to have a brick oven, the next best arrangement.
«tab»He was hurt in the woods and not expected to live. A tree became lodged, and two men stepped up to it to chop. The visors on their caps prevented their seeing each other, one struck the other on top his head with an axe. Marshall was unable to work for a year. There was a wood sawing bee for him during his illness, when the neighbors came and sawed up a whole deck of logs into wood. Two logs were too tough to split, but his wife worked them up before spring unassisted.
