Biography

Tabitha Marshall was born about 1749 in Virginia. Her father died when she was quite young, so her brother-in-law John Todd was her Guardian. He gave his consent when Tabitha Marshall married Drury Williams in 1769. They moved, with their young family, to Wilkes County, Georgia about 1788. [1] She was widowed in 1805, remarried to James Gresham in 1806, and widowed again within the year. She passed away about 1821 (based on when her son Jesse Williams took possession of land that had been her Life Estate).

Name: Tabitha Marshall. [2] [3]

Marriage

26 Mar 1770. Cumberland, Gooch Co , Virginia, USA. [4] [5] [6]

Your record seems to be much more complete than Marshall-16601. I am unsure about the direction of the merge and don't want to override what you have. If it is better for you to do the merge, please do so. Thanks!

Hi. I'm writing about the unmerged match of Tabitha (Marshall-16601), wife of Drury Williams, who is an unmerged match with Tabitha (Marshall-4271), the wife of Drury Williams and James Gresham. The will of James Gresham mentions furniture he received from the estate of Drury Williams. I also checked the 18 Jul 1809 death date. This death date, according to the FindAGrave memorial, belongs with a Tabitha Williams who is buried in New Castle Co., DE. Anything is possible, but I think it doubtful that Tabitha Gresham who was in Wilkes Co., GA, in 1807, would be buried, 2 years later, under the name of Tabitha Williams in Delaware. I think the 2 Tabitha Williams (m. Drury Williams & James Gresham) are the same person.

Marshall-11598 and Marshall-4271 appear to represent the same person because: Both reference marriage to James Gresham as well as dates of birth and death location.

There are some dates that overlap events and appear incorrect - these can be fixed after the merge.
