Introduction

Many, many thanks to members of the GHOTES for so generously sharing their information on Marshalls and allied surnames and research expertise. I had a great advantage over my granddad-many more source books of Eastern Shore Records have been published and the additional research tool of the internet and the wonderful folks at the GHOTES.

If you are using this compilation to research this or allied families, please use it as a guide. My location, time and means has its limits on original sources. Much of this information is from secondary sources and the notes of others researching these families.

There are three main Marshall families to sort through in this part of the shore: the Accomack, Northampton and Somerset (or Bayside) families. They all moved from one county to another. Add to that, the same surname in nearby counties and intermarriages among them all. No connection has been found to link these families and where intermarriages occur, the other Marshall lines are identified with asterisks. This journal follows what is known of the Marshalls who started out in Northampton County, VA. You will also find several allied families (Bunting, Purnell, and others) posted at the Ghotes site.

If you have corrections or additions or connect to this family, I would be most interested in hearing from you. Judy Stell, stellva@aol.com report last updated Dec. 2001
