Alexander Marshall, Sr.

parents unknown.

Alexander Marshall was born in 1676 at VA and lived in a section of Henrico County, Virginia which later became Chesterfield County. He was a tanner by trade and from his many land purchases in later life, it appears that he became a farmer and a man of means.

Alexander's wife, Elizabeth Worsham, was the widow of Thomas Ligon. The inventory of the estate of Thomas Ligon was filed on May 7, 1705. On August 20, 1706 a proceeding of Orphans Court of Henrico stated that "Alexander Marshall, who lately married Mrs. Elizabeth Ligon" was given custody of Lodowick Tanner. Elizabeth was the daughter of Capt. John and Phoebe Worsham. She is mentioned as "my daughter, Elizabeth Marshall" in Capt. Worsham's will in 1729.
