As you know, I'...Thanks for the message, Karen. As you know, I've been unable to find any connection between Adna Rider Hoyt's father Lemuel Rider and Polly Rider Marshall's father Benjamin. William Obadiah Marshall's first wife was not one of Polly's sisters, as far as I can tell. All her sisters are accounted for, and his first wife also seems to have been a Polly (nickname for Mary, as was common at the time). It seems from the newspaper articles I found and shared with you that John Addison Marshall didn't have offspring, or why would he have been buried in Wisconsin near Marebah, when his residence was in Kansas? I'm glad we finally showed up as DNA matches on Ancestry.com. Thanks for sharing your continuing research on our Marshall forebears.ericshanowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879686211456482942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789794826940331229.post-7268956191205393782016-12-24T13:45:54.411-08:002016-12-24T13:45:54.411-08:00Merry Christmas cousin Eric!
I just read your blog...Merry Christmas cousin Eric!<br />I just read your blog about our Marshall connection and the DNA test results. Did I ever send you the Amos Marshall indenture record information from Chardon OH in 1830?<br />Amos was a little over 3 years old when indentured to Albert Hoyt and his wife Hannah (?) RIDER Hoyt. I searched for a direct link from this Hannah(?) to your Rider lineage, and I believe that they might have been cousins...as I think that her father and Benjamin Rider might have been brothers.<br /><br />There are about 10 land records for Seth F Marshall up in Eaton Co. Michigan. He sold 80 acres of land to my Amos Marshall in 1853 ( known as the Coleman Plains in the land record...now unknown). A lady from the library who had an errand in Charlotte MI actually went ahead and sent me the will that I told you about. It's in storage now as I have sold my house and am staying with friends. Going to travel for about a year and then settle in Kentucky near my brothers and cousins.<br />I also did some investigations about the court case for William Obediah Marshall, since he was sentenced to TWO CONSECUTIVE terms of 8 years in prison for the incest with Maribeh and Mary Eliza.<br />I am beginning to think that maybe Amos might have products of the incest!!! I found a newspaper article that mentions the 2 girls and is tantalizing but offers no real PROOF.<br />My DNA matched someone who is related to Maribeh!!! However, that just means that William Obediah Marshall is the definite link, as I have DNA matches with someone from the FIRST wife (through Maribeh) AND with someone related to the SECOND WIFE.<br />However, that brings a new question....<br />back in the older days, if someone was married and their wife died young, they might marry one of the wife's SISTERS...so now I am considering the possibility that William O. Marshall's first AND second wife might have been sisters...and that would also explain DNA matches to both lines. <br />The DNA matches are so far back, but I have found a LOT of people who ARE RELATED even though ancestry has the match listed as less than good! I believe that the farther back the match, the less DNA evidence there is, and so there is less confidence. <br />I have found matches on at least 6 lines where the link is about 6 generations back! However, when people only have a beginning tree, or haven't found information back that many generations...you can't really find out where the link is.<br /><br />I tried to find those prison records, but someone at the Ohio State Archives told me that the book for 1829 was burned in a fire. I know that there are land records for William O Marshall in 1832, and the way the record is recorded says that he WAS THERE in court/land office!<br />I am hoping to go to Columbus OH to visit my Aubrey cousin, and she and her husband have done extensive genealogy research there...so I'm hoping that they might be willing to help me do some research there next summer.<br />Will keep you updated on my research...maybe we'll figure out all about Seth F Marshall and Amos Marshall and just how we are connected!<br />Did you know that William O Marshall's oldest son, John Addison Marshall had moved to near Manhattan, Kansas in the late 1800's? One of my cousins that got me started searching for the Marshall line lived about 45 miles away in Waterville Kansas, but she died a little over a year from complications from a car wreck.<br /><br />Maribeh Marshall was married 3-4 times, and ended up in Pomona CA...where she is buried. I think that she went under the last name of Johnson, and she died in the early 1900's. I matched one of her great grandchildren.<br /><br />Merry Christmas and Happy 2017 !<br />Karen Marshall<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216072285740409212noreply@blogger.com
