About John Marshall

John Marshall M, b. circa 1600, d. after 1685

  • John was born circa 1600. In 1640, a Certificate was granted to John Wilkins for 500 acres at Allens Creek extending toward the land of Obed[ience] Robins. The fragments of this certificate show the following headrights: Mr. John Wilkins and Bridgett his wife; John Marshall and....., Mary Vaughan, John (---), Edward Blacklocke....other names destroyed. (Beverly Fleet, Virginia Colonial Abstracts Vol. 32 Accomacke County 1637-1640, Richmond VA, 1948, Transcript p. 166, p. 94). In July 1640 John Dolby deposed that he heard John Marshall that he could find in his heart to knock his Maister John Wilkins on the head. (Susie M. Ames, County Court Records of Accomack-Northampton, VA 1640-1645, Charlottesville, VA, University Press, p. 5, 19) John appears in Northampton Court on May 15, 1643 and July 4, 1643 to give depositions. No age is given, nor any indication as to whether he is still in the service of John Wilkins. (Susie M. Ames, County Court Records of Accomack-Northampton, VA 1640-1645, Charlottesville, VA, University Press, p. 276, 289). In 1649 John appears as a witness to the will of his former master, John Wilkins, on December 23. The title "planter" is given after his name. He gave a deposition on January 28, 1650 regarding the will of Edward Drew. (Deeds, Wills, etc. III 1645-1651, p. 238; James Marshall, Wills & Administrations of Northampton Co., p. 26-27). In 1685, John Marshall purchased 150 acres at N115 from Henry Edwards. Whitelaw says he left it to his son, Thomas; however, no will or disposition has been found. He may have 'left' it to his son, Thomas through the laws of primogeniture. The property then passed by Thomas Marshall's will of 1700 to his sons George and John.1 John died after 1685 at Northampton Co, VA.
