Jared Marshall

Jared Marshall, deceased, formerly a farmer of Cordova Township, is the youngest son of John and Charity (Golden) Marshall, and was born in Hopewell. Hunterdon Co., N. J., July 8, 1832. He was ten years of age when his mother with the family emigrated to this State, locating in Coe Township. He made his home with his mother and worked upon the farm until the time of his marriage, which occurred Dec. 29, 1852, when he wedded Miss Amanda Rockwell, daughter of Justus and Sally (Perkins) Rockwell. She was born in Chester, Randolph Co., 111. Her father was a native of Connecticut, and both her parents were early settlers in that county. At the time of his marriage he purchased land on section 2, Coe Township, and upon it built at first a small frame house, but four years afterward a larger frame structure, which he occupied. He improved the farm and resided there until 1867, when he sold it and went to Missouri, locating in Cedar County. He bought there a farm five miles from Virgil City, and after residing upon it two years he sold and returned, to Cordova, where he bought a farm adjoining the village. Soon afterward, in company with his brother, William G., he engaged in buying grain, in which he continued until his death, which occurred July 21, 1876. Mr. Marshall had nine children, six of whom are living, namely: Anna, the wife of Walter Pidcock, and living in Cordova; Emma, who is now the wife of William Cool and resides in Cordova ; Albert S., who is engaged in mercantile business in the same village; J. Grant, Lewis D. and Grace A.
