Thomas Marshall of Westmoreland (born 1655, died 1704), married Martha Pendleton. Their son William of King and Queen (born 1685) married Elizabeth Williams. They had Lucy and "Capt." William. ("Captain") William (born 1730) married 1768 Ann Clark McLeod, daughter of Torquil McLeod and Ann Clark, his wife, who was the second daughter of Jonathan Clark and Elizabeth Wilson, his wife. The fifth child of "Captain" William Marshall and his wife, Ann Clark McLeod, was Sarah, who married Col. Richard (4) C. Anderson

Torquil McLeod was a picturesque character, and very little is known of him. "Essex Co. records throw some light upon this shadowy adventurer." He is supposed to have been a cadet of the famous Highland Clan, probably left Scotland to avoid some political trouble, and about 1740 married Ann Clark. Early in the year 1745 Torquil McLeod disappeared, having taken passage in a vessel for Europe. He left his wife and daughter in Virginia. From the old records in Essex he was doubtless a man of means and probably had been an officer of dragoons, as was evidenced by a complete equipment of a mounted soldier, a silver mounted sword, a cutlass, pistols, holsters, saddle housings, etc. Clothing of fine texture, silver shoe buckles, gold buttons and well selected books were mute evidences of his former life of culture and position.
