townsmen, who ever delighted to honor him. In 1839 he had arisen to be sheriff, and in 1810 was made school committeeman, a po- sition he was eminently qualified to fill by reason of his long experience as a teacher. In 1839 he formed a partnership with C. O. Clarke, with whom the connection continued till 1843, after which the business was con- ducted by Mr. Marshall alone till 1850. That vear hie forsook trade. Elected town treasurer in 1856, he managed the financial affairs of the town so acceptably that the thanks of the town were voted to him, and it so stands on the records to-day. Governor Crosby appointed him high sheriff of York county in 1854, and he had previously been commissioned collector of the port of York by President Fillmore. In 1856 the office of sheriff became elective by the altered constitution, and Mr. Marshall was chosen to the shrievalty by an overwhelming vote. He was admitted to the York county bar in 1858, having declined a renomination for sheriff which was unanimously offered him. In 1860-61 he was a member of the state senate, was appointed by President Lin- coln assessor of internal revenue of the first district of Maine, discharging the duties there- of with conspicuous ability. In September, 1870, he bought what was known as "Stage Neck," at the mouth of the York river, and erected thereon a commodious and hand- some hotel which has been widely and favor- ably known to the summer traveling public who frequent that resort. The town hall was practically built under his supervision, and may be called his work. The address de- livered by him at the dedicatory exercises was a model of neatness and extemporaneous speaking. The ancient village and popular summer resort is also indebted to Mr. Mar- shall for much of its present architectural beauty, he being a prime mover in every enter- prise that looked to the betterment of the place. Another thing the town and the lover of history owe to Mr. Marshall a heavy debt of gratitude in that he rearranged in an orderly manner the records of the town, which, prior to his labor thereon, which to him was a labor of love, were in a chaotic state and unserviceable for study and research. In a plain, readable hand he reproduced the two volumes of town records. He likewise per- formed a great service to historical students in the discovery and preservation in book form, modestly called by him a note-book- it is more than that-the records of the old families of ancient Georgianna Agamenticus and old York. No man could be better adapted
for this work than he, and none could have so thoroughly and comprehensively covered the ground over which he traveled and sys- tematically arranged.
He married Sophia Baker, April 18, 1841, who was born March 9, 1820, died in 1878. To her he gallantly ascribed much of his suc- cess in life. Senator Marshall died February 17, 1882. By his death the bar of York county lost a valuable member, the town that honored him so much a public-spirited citizen, the world of historical research a faithful co-worker, and the world at large an honest man. His children were: I. Edward S., born February 2, 1842, sce forward. 2. George A., born October 4, 1843, married Annie E., daughter of Dr. Caleb Eastman ; children : George E., deccased ; Kate Tilton, Addie T. and Bessie Mary. 3. Mary Ann, born April 8, 1846, died May 16, 1872; married Hervey Lord, of Lebanon, Maine. 4. Samuel B., born January 23, 1849, married Ida, daughter of Charles Moulton, of York ; children : Fred W., Mildred and Ethel. 5. Julia Etta, born December 4, 1851, married Edward C. Moody ; children : Charles, died in infancy; Sallie B., Edna M. and Edward C. 6. Ida May, born September 13, 1854, married Alfred L. Moody; no children. 7. Francis Bacon, born November 6, 1857, died June 4, 1865. 8. Sophia, born June 24, 1862, married J. Purley Putnam, of York; children : M. Marshall, Marguerite, Roger A., Freeman, Conrad, Gretchen.
(V) Edward S., son of Hon. Nathaniel Grant and Sophia ( Baker) Marshall, was born February 2, 1842. He served as assistant assessor of internal revenues for the first dis- trict of Maine, was one of the original pro- moters of the York Harbor and Beach rail- road and now ( 1908) one of the directors of same ; is president and principal owner of the Agamenticus Light and Power Company of York, president and large owner of the Pisca- taqua Navigation Company of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has represented the town of York in the Maine legislature and four years was a member of the governor's council of Maine, and for thirty-five years owner and proprietor of the Marshall House, at York Harbor, Maine. He married (first) Sarah K., daughter of Hon. Alexander Dennett, of Kit- tery, Maine; one child, Frank Dennett, born May 29, 1870, mentioned below. Edward S. Marshall married (second) Georgia V., daughter of John and Asenath Main, of York, who bore him one child, Blanche E., born Au- gust 22, 1873, died May 7, 1881.

S. and Sarah (Dennett) Marshall, was born in Portland, May 29, 1870. He obtained his education in the public schools of Kittery, Ber- wick Academy, Harvard University (1890- 96). He was admitted to the bar of supreme judicial court of Maine in 1896 and subse- quently to the United States courts. In the fall of 1896 he settled in Portland and has been in practice there ever since. A member of the common council from ward six as a Republican in 1905 and 1906; alderman from same ward in 1907-08; representative-elect from Portland to the seventy-fourth legisla- ture. A member of Cumberland Club, Coun- try Club of Portland, York Country Club, York Harbor; and Maine Historical Society ; also president of State Street Parish Club. He and his family are attendants at State Street Congregational Church. Frank D. Marshall was married in South Berwick, October 7, 1897, to Helen M., born in South Berwick, No- vember 4, 1874, daughter of John F. (de- ceased) and Mary Elizabeth ( Hobbs) Walker. Mrs. Marshall was educated at Berwick Acad- emy and Wellesley College. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall have two children: Elizabeth Wal- ker, born March 5, 1902, and Edward Walker, born April 13, 1905.
Mr. Marshall's ancestry goes back to the early settlers of York and Kittery-to Arthur Bragdon, from Devonshire, an alderman under the City Charter of Georgeana, now York; and to John Dennet, of Kittery, whose line goes back to Hugh d'Anet, an officer at Has- tings under William the Conqueror, and who subsequently settled in England at Hirst Pier- pont.
CURRIER
The Currier family in Eng- land is identical with Currer, Currie, Curry, Corror and
Carrier. The coat-of-arms of the Carrier family of Wirksworth, Derbyshire, is: Sable, a bend between three spears' heads. The Cur- rier, or Carrier, family of Gosport, Hampshire, bears: Sabel, a chevron ermine between three crosses crosslet argent. Crest : Out of a ducal coronet a dragon's head vert.
(I) Richard Currier, immigrant ancestor, was born in England about 1616. He de- posed April 12, 1664, stating his age at forty- seven. He settled in Salisbury, Massachu- setts, where he was a planter and millwright. He drew land in 1641-42 and was a com- moner of that town, taxed there in 1650, and in 1654 he was the largest taxpayer in Ames- bury, the town adjoining Salisbury. He was town clerk of Salisbury in 1654-56-59-62-64-
68. He and his predecessor, Macy, were au- thorized to build a sawmill in 1656, and he owned a sawmill right in 1676. In the seating of the Amesbury meeting-house in 1667 his name stands first "to set at the table," but he apparently retained membership in the Salisbury church as late as 1677. He seems to have been a soldier in King Philip's war, although older than most of the soldiers. He was for many years an active and influential citizen. His last years were spent at the home of his wife's son, Philip Rowell. He had conveyed his real estate by deed to his heirs, so that no administration was necessary at the time of his death. Twenty-five years after- ward, however, his grandson was appointed administrator, November 6, 1710, and his heirs at law were granted land at Buxton, Maine, for his service in King Philip's war. He died February 22, 1686-87, and his widow, Joanna, October, 1690. His daughter Hannah joined with Sarah Rowell, widow of Philip Rowell, in petition for a settlement of the es- tate of Richard and Joanna Currier. He married (first) Ann and (second), October 26, 1676, Joanna Pindar, widow of Valentine Pindar and also of William Sargent, daughter of Henry Pindar, who came in the ship "Susan and Ellen," in April, 1636, to Ipswich, Joanna being then fourteen years old.
