In 1796 he advertised thirteen hun- dred acres of patented and improved land for sale, and shortly afterward moved to Brooke county, Virginia. Colonel James Marshel's wife was his cousin, a sister of Robert and Captain John Marshall, who spelled his name Marshall. John Marshel, son of Colonel James Marshel, was elected sheriff of Washington county in 1835; resigned in 1836 to become cashier of the Franklin Bank in Washington county. Colonel James Marshel died in Brooke county, Virginia, 1829. Captain, also Colonel John and Robert Marshall were half- brothers and cousins of Colonel James Mar- shel, whose wife was their sister. Robert pur- chased land of Colonel James in Close Creek township, on which he lived until his death at seventy-three years of age.
Captain John Marshall was born in Ireland in 1750, came to Pennsylvania and settled in Hanover township, Lancaster, now Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, in 1770. He served in the revolutionary war, holding the rank of captain of a company in Colonel Samuel Miles' rifle regiment, serving in 1776. He was en- gaged at the battle of Long Island and received serious injuries. He was later captain of a company of the Second Regiment Pennsyl- vania Line, Colonel Walter Stewart, and on muster roll bearing date September 8, 1778 (reported as severely wounded at the battle of Brandywine September 11, 1777). He re- ceived a pension for his patriotic service and was still living and on the pension rolls in 1835, being then eighty-five years of age. In 1779 he appears in Washington county, coming with his half-brother Robert (previously men- tioned). In August, 1781, he was appointed a justice of the peace, and associate judge for Hopewell township; in 1802-05 was a member of the Pennsylvania house of assembly. He was also colonel of Washington county militia. In 1820 he sold the two hundred acre tract that he had purchased of his cousin, Colonel James Marshel, and moved to Crawford county, Ohio.
