(IV) Robert Hudson (2), son of Robert Hudson (I) and Camilla Jane ( Miller) Cun-
ningham, was born in Paterson, New Jersey, February 23, 1885, and acquired his earlier literary education in the public schools of that city and also in the Newark Academy, grad- uated in 1904. He then attended the New York Law School, graduating LL. B. with the class of 1906, with the honors of presidency of his class. Afterward for one year and a half he continued his law studies in the office of James G. Blauvelt, of Paterson, and in November, 1907, was admitted to practice in the courts of this state. Since that time he has been a mem- ber of the Paterson bar and has engaged in active general practice in that city. Mr. Cun- ningham is a member and secretary of The Taxpayers Association of Paterson, an organi- zation having for its object the protection and advancement of the interests of the people of Passaic county in general and the city of Paterson in particular. He also is a member of the North Jersey Country Club, Paterson Lodge, No. 60, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and the Eastside Presbyterian church.
He married, October 29, 1908, May Louise Cooke, born April 20, 1885, daughter of John K. and Annie Louise (Thorne) Cooke. Watts Cooke, the father of John K. Cooke, was the founder of the Paterson Rolling Mills, at Pat- erson, New Jersey.
According to the records of MARSHALL the family at present under consideration their original home in this country was Virginia, to which place the three brothers, Randall, Nehemiah and John, emigrated from England, and whence Randall, after his marriage removed with his father-in-law to New Jersey. The family thus apparently has no connection with the Mar- shalls and Chews who emigrated to New Jer- sey about 1680.
(I) Randall Marshall, founder of the family at present under consideration, settled at Good Intent, New Jersey, and located on the Haz- zard property near the town of Blackwood ; but he afterwards removed to Lamb's Mills, where he remained until his death in 1780, at the age of sixty-six years. He married Hannah, daughter of Thomas Chew. Chil- dren: Randall, Thomas, referred to below; John, William, Joseph, Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah, Hannah, Charity.

( Pease ) Marshall, was born June 15, 1771, died September 21, 1841. He was the owner of large tracts of land, but he turned his atten- tion to a business career in which he was very successful, and became one of the pioneers of the great glass work industry of Cape May county. His first venture was the building of the glass works at Port Elizabeth and later of another factory at Marshallville, New Jersey, for the manufacture of window glass. In addi- tion to this he also operated several saw and grist mills. July 30, 1847, his son sold the glass works and saw mill at Marshallville to Thomas Van Gilder, for $7,525. He also operated and owned a tannery at Port Elizabeth.
August 4, 1793, Randall Marshall married Mary, daughter of Henry and Hannah Dough- ty (Furness) Reeves (see Reeves, V). Chil- dren : I.

D. He then set up in the practice of his profession in Marshallville, where for nearly half a century he had a large and, from a professional point of view, most successful practice, although owing to his lax- ity in imposing and collecting fees it was not so good from a financial point of view. For years he was the only physician within a radius of twenty miles from his home. He was a mem- ber of the Cape May County Medical Society, of Star Lodge, No. 65, Free and Accepted Masons, of New Jersey, and of the Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows, at Tuckahoe.

For his early education he went to the public schools, after which he graduated from Pen- nington Seminary. He then, until 1867, stud- ied medicine with his father at Tuckahoe, and entering the medical department of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania in 1868 he became one of the office students of Professor Lenox Hodge. He graduated from the University with the degree of M. D. in 1870, and having as a student of Professor Hodge had special privileges at the Wills Eye Hospital and in the course of obstetrics, he received at his grad- uation a special certificate covering these two fields. In the summer of 1870 he opened an office in Fairton, New Jersey, where he re- mained for ten years, and then removed to Tuckahoe, where he became the partner of his brother Randolph, who in 1870 had started there with his co-operation a drug store. Dr. Marshall outside of his profession has given a great deal of time and interest to the cultiva- tion of cranberries. He is a member of the Cape May Medical Society, and was at one time president of that organization. He is a Republican, but he has always steadily refused to hold office.
(IV) Randolph (2), son of Randolph (I) and Sarah Higgins (Hughes) Marshall, was born in Tuckahoe, Cape May county, New Jersey, January II, 1854, and is now living in that place. After receiving his early education in the public school, he entered the Penning- ton Seminary and prepared for Jefferson Medi- cal College in Philadelphia, from which he graduated in 1877 with the degree of M. D. During his Medical course he studied obstetrics

under Dr. D. Erdsley Wallace, and operative surgery under Dr. J. Ewing Mears, and com- pleted these courses the same year that he grad- uated. Immediately after his graduation, hav- ing decided to make a specialty of the diseases of children, he located at Tuckahoe, in part- nership with his brother, Joseph Corson Mar- shall, and in the beginning of 1878 the two brothers erected both their drug store and their office. This arrangement continued until 1890, when their drug business was merged in the interests of the firm of C. H. Butter- worth & Company, and the main office of the drug business was transferred to 125 Market street, Philadelphia. Dr. Marshall has always been a close student of his profession, and for many years has been a member of the Cape May Medical Society, of which organization he served for twelve years as treasurer, and for a long time as its permanent delegate to the State Medical Society. He and his brother were the surgeons of the South Jersey Rail- road Company during its construction in that locality. Dr. Randolph Marshall owns a great deal of real estate in Ocean City, and he is a member and treasurer of the Tuckahoe Build- ing and Loan Association. In religion he is a Methodist. He is also a member of the State Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Tuckahoe; Richmond Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, of Millville; Olivet Commandery, Knights Templar, of Millville; and of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, of which for a long time he has served as examining surgeon. In politics he is a Republican, and although his interest has always been active and he has worked energetically for the success of his party, he has steadily refused to hold office or to serve in a public capacity.
Dr. Marshall married, December 18, 1879, Rae, daughter of Antony Steelman, her father having been one of the sheriffs of Cape May county. Mrs. Marshall died September 19, 1908.
