Thomas Thomas Marshall

Thomas Marshall1 M, b. 1626, d. 1704 Father John Marshall b. c 1600, d. a 1685

    Thomas was born in 1626. He married Mary (<nowiki>-----</nowiki>) circa 1655. Mary was his wife's name when he presented his son, Thomas for baptism in 1661. He did not name a wife in his will. Court records of Northampton County show Mary Marshall in May, 1688, aged 50. (Houston & Mihalyka, Colonial Residents, Genealogical Pub. Co., Baltimore MD, 1985, p. 67) Will dtd 1/1/1704 NH Co., VA. Thomas's will was probated in Northampton Co., VA, May 30, 1704. Thomas would have been about age 14 when he came to Northampton. His name is probably on that portion of the headright certificate which was destroyed. If indentured with his father to John Wilkins, his seven years coincide with his attaining majority. In 1664, Thomas bought 150A of the Truett section of tract N115 from Mr. Bloyes. In 1700, he deeded this to sons, John and George. He also gave his sons the land his father purchased from Henry Edwards, or the Edwards section of N115. Thomas' son, John, and grandson, Thomas, also made purchases of the remaining land at N115 between 1708 and 1724. In 1744, John's son, Thomas, purchased 60A of adjoining N114. A suit over the bounds in 1746 required a survey which showed that this part was on the bay shore and above the north fork of Boulman's Branch and was merged with N115. (Ralph Whitelaw, Virginia's Eastern Shore, p. 526-528). Richard Robinson gifted a cow to Thomas' son, George, on May 26, 1679. George would have been about 20 years old. The significance of this gift is not known. (Accomack Wills & Deeds 1679-1690, copied by James Marshall) Richard Robinson and his mother Mary Parramore joined in a deed for 150 acres (N113) to Thomas Marshall in 1676. Thomas gave this land to his son, Thomas, and later gave to Thomas Jr.'s daughters. (Ralph T. Whitelaw, VA Eastern Shore, p. 522) Neither Richard Robinson nor Mary Parramore named any Marshalls in their wills and the relationship, if any, is not known. (Thomas Marshall's wife, Mary, may have been a Robinson).2 Thomas died in 1704 at Northampton Co, VA. Family 	Mary (<nowiki>-----</nowiki>) b. c 1638, d. b 1704 Children
