Does anyone have a fairly definitive list of the children of Thomas Marshall of colonial Westmoreland County, Virginia? I see apparently conflicting claims. The fact that he didn't name his children in his will is part of the problem.

For example, he apparently had at least one daughter named Mary. Many sources name her as Mary Iva Marshall b 1697 married to Thomas Camp. However, other sources (such as https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I0047...) name that daughter Mary b 1697 as the wife of John Piper. (This Mary Marshall Piper has been believed to be the sister of Sarah Franks, widow of Robert Franks, who named John and Mary Piper as guardians of her four younger children in 1725--in which case Sarah would also be a presumed daughter of Thomas Marshall.)

I suspect that the current children linked to him on Geni are not all correct.

Here is another compilation of records for Thomas Marshall: http://www.next1000.com/family/EC/marshll.thom2.html

Here are two more compilations to aid in tree pruning.

I think the curator note needs updating also. It had read:

Thomas Marshall, son of Capt. John Marshall II and Jane McCarthy, was born after 1650 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and died May 31, 1704 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Married (1) Martha Jane Pendleton. Married (2) Martha Jane Sherwood.

But 1) I don’t think the parents of Capt. John Marshall II, "the Immigrant" are proven 2) Martha /Jane Marshall os discredited as a wife / mother at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Marshall-1210
