John Marshall was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia about 1732. He is said to have married Jane Guisenbury. He was appointed an executor of his father's Will, but failed to qualify. His father died in 1752 and John was then, perhaps, a minor. He came to Bourbon County, Kentucky, at an early day. He must have died about the year 1800. His name does not appear upon the records of Bourbon County.

John Marshall's Will, Woodford County, Kentucky, Will Book C, pg 283:
In the name and mercy of God, amen, I, John Marshall of the County of Woodford and state of Kentucky, considering that I am well advanced in years and finding myself, at this time, of sound and disposing mind and memory do make and ordain this present writing my last will and testament, that is to say after recommending my soul to the bounteous reception of an heavenly redeemer.

I give and bequeath to my daughter Mary Whittington...
Next I give and bequeath to my daughter Elizabeth January...
Next I give and bequeath to my daughter Jane Marshall...
Next I give and bequeath to my daughter Nancy Marshall...
Lastly I do constitute and appoint my sons, Thomas Marshall, Humphrey Marshall, and James Marshall - and the survivor of them - my executors; but any one of them qualifying should the others or either of them not qualify shall have the power of the whole.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal and do publish this my last will and testament this 25th day of March 1809.
