• Notes

  Carol Getting has Isaac's birth date as 1760/1761. If so, Isaac could not have been a son of Thomas. This lead credibility that Isaac's father may have been John Marshall. This date is from pension records and has to be considered as close as we are going to get unless we find a bible record some place. The pages from the family bible were torn out on the children's births and sent with his wife's Pension papers after his death. I [Carol] have a copy of those from the National Archives. Carol Getting's information is as follows http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cgetting/d2753.htm#P8387 Pat Stevens's information is as follows http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=stevensp&id=I01 178 Also researching this line is Marjorie Godfrey - marjorie@buncombe.main.nc.us Lt. Isaac MARSHALL was born about 1760/61 in Virginia. He was a Methodist. He served in the Virginia Continental Army, enlisting on 22 May 1777 in the 14 VA Infantry, with Captain Peter Jones.113 He was appointed to rank of Sergeant on enlistment. Enlistment shown for 3 months in the beginning of his enlistment, later it was shown as 3 years. July, 1778 when he was exchanged he enlisted for the duration of the War. His rate of pay was in the beginning 2Ła month, or $8.00. When he was exchanged and enlisted for three years, or the duration of the war, it went to $10.00 a month or 3Ł. He was again captured in Charleston, SC and escaped. The pension of Nathan Wright, who was also captured at Charleston, mentions an escape with two men, a Taylor and a Marshall. It is thought that perhaps, Nathan Wright and Isaac Marshall, did escape together. Descendants of Isaac Marshall, may apply to Daughters of American Revolution (DAR) for membership.113 Pension Statement 14th VA Infantry Lineage War Record He appeared on the census between 1784 and 1787 in North Carolina. {1784-1787 NC State Census, Part of Capt.

At this time, there were three males (sons) under age 16 that should have been in the household. It would appear, that perhaps the boys were staying somewhere else, and there were others in the household at the time. Perhaps on a visit. There are always possible situations that might have been present to make this census correct as shown and there is always the possibility that the record was in error. The answer will perhaps never be known. 12. Misc: Will of Phillip Burford as a Witness., 30 Jun 1795, Warren County, NC.

(3) 1883, Mar 9; "The Landmark," Statesville, NC REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS BURIED AT SNOW CREEK A citizen of Sharpesburg township has furnished us with the following list of soldier of the revolutionary war whose bones repose in Snow Creek grave-yard: Robert Boyd, Capt. William Feimster, Capt. Joseph Sharpe, James Sharpe, William Sharpe, ("Lawyer Billy"), James McHargue, John McHargue, Jas. Callahan, Thomas Moore, Samuel Wilson, David White, Adam Laurence, William Hardin, Peter Claywell, James King, John King, Ned Burton, William Bone, Robert Dobson, Valentine Tucker. Isaac Marshall, William Woodsides and John Luck, also soldiers of the Revolution, lie buried in private burying grounds near Snow Creek. Of the above Peter Claywell was at the battle of Guilford Court House; James John and William Sharpe were in the battle of Kings' Mountain; Ned Burton and John Luck were at the surrender at Yorktown; John McHargue was wounded, captured and paroled, came home, took small-pox and died; James King was in the skirmish at Cowan's Ford and James Callahan was in the battle of Camden. There are buried at Snow Creek, also, several soldiers of the war of 1812 and a number of Confederates, among the latter the gallant and distinguished Reuben P. Campbell, Colonel of the Seventh North Carolina regiment. The majority of the graves of these soldiers are unmarked save by rude stones, and the gentleman who has given us the above names and facts accompanies them with the patriotic suggestion that the descendants or other relatives of these heroes should unite and have raised in Snow Creek graveyard, a monument, if it be of no more costly material than granite, to the memory of the soldiers of these three wars who are buried there. We concur very heartily in the suggestion and have no doubt that the funds necessary for the erection of a suitable shaft could easily be raised if some one would but take the initiative in the matter."
