Badly wounded at Ball's Bluff, he rejoined his regi- ment before he could be considered fairly convalescent, and, though sick and reported unfit for duty previous to Gettysburg, he yet, when the thunders of the cannon gave warn- ing of a great engagement, hastened forward and took part therein.

This surname is derived MARSHALL from the name of the occu- pation or office. The word has doubled in meaning in a singular fashion. Cotgrave, an ancient authority, says that "a marshal of a kingdome or of a campe (an honorable place) ; also farrier, horse-shoer, blacksmith, horse-leech, horse-smith ; also har- binger." The word comes from French Mares- Chal; Dutch maer, meaning a horse, and Schalck, meaning servant, and the compound word means literally one who cares for horses ; but by degrees the word grew in dignity until it signified "magister equorum," or master of cavalry. Hence under the ancient regime we had the grand Marshal of France, governors of provinces, as well as Earl-marshall of Eng- land and Lord Marischal of Scotland. The Earl of Pembroke is of the Marshall family of England. His arms : per pale or and vert over all a lion rampant gules. Few names in England are more generally scattered through the kingdom or more numerous. There are no less than sixty-seven coats-of-arms of the Marshall family in Burke's General Armory. These more distinguished branches of the fam- ily are located in the counties of Berks, Derby, Devon, Durham, Huntingdon. Essex, Hants, Lincoln, Middlesex, Nottingham, York, North- umberland and Surrey ; also in Ireland. The coat-of-arms in general use (that ilk) is : Argent a bishop's pall sable between three dock leaves vert.
Among the early settlers of Massachusetts of this name were two who lived in Ipswich. William Marshall Sr., born in England 1598, residing in Salem in 1638, according to' Felt, and having land granted him there, was

doubtless brother of Edmund, mentioned be- low. He came in the ship "Abigail" in 1635, from London, giving his age as forty. These records of age on passenger lists were almost invariably too small. Marshall may have been five years older, judging from other cases where the facts are known. William Marshall Sr. and John Marshall, according to Ham- matt, owned shares in Plum Island in 1664. Nothing further is known of William Mar- shall. It is possible that some of the children ascribed to Edmund, the birth records being missing, belong to William's family, but it is more likely that he died without children or property and still more likely that he returned to England or left New England.
