THE MARSHALLS Gregg Townsend gmt@cs.arizona.edu 31-Dec-2004 I'm trying to establish the relationship of George Marshall, for whom my grandfather was apparently named, and Mary Marshall, my great-great-great- grandmother. Both George Marshall and my grandfather's mother, then age 12, were living on my great-great-grandparents' farm in the 1860 census of Oakland County, Michigan. MARY MARSHALL 14 Nov 1788 William "Billy" Brewer Garfield b. Cheshire, NH abt 1791 Mary Marshall born NH 1809 Mary Marshall m. William Brewer Garfield 1814 daughter Mary Ann Garfield born census 1820 William B Garfield & family in Alexander, Genesee, NY census 1830 William B Garfield & family in Alexander, Genesee, NY census 1840 William B Garfield & family in Alexander, Genesee, NY 1840 Mary Ann Garfield m Moses Burr Jones (their dau Julia b abt 1841 NY; Emma b 1848 MI; Mary b 1850 MI) census 1850 William B Garfield (61, NH) in Alexander, Genesee, NY with Mary [Marshall] Garfield (58, NH) 1855 Mary Marshall Garfield d.

However, the census of his family in 1840 (Dryden, Lapeer, MI, before his death) lists no sons under the age of ten.
