Phebe Perry Marshall was born in Scrubgrass Township, Venango County PA, the daughter of pioneer settlers Moses Perry and his wife Sarah Russell. Her husband, Samuel Marshall (1801-1835), was reared in the area around present-day Parker, Armstrong Co. PA. He was a businessman and served as the postmaster of Foxburg. They were the parents of four children: Simeon Hovey Marshall (1824-1912), Sarah Marshall McGough (1827-1904), Isabella (Belle) Marshall Phipps (about 1833-1910), and Martha P. Marshall Welsh (1834-1922). She lived 50 years beyond her husband's death. She was remembered in her obituary as "a woman of rare virtue, kind and charitable to all, and thoroughly devoted to the best interests of her friends and relatives." She was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Franklin PA. The grave marker is obviously not the first stone placed there. It matches identically-designed stones placed nearby on all the McGough graves (Section D, Lot 56).
