He was born to a family from S.Carolina. The names remain unknown, at this time.
He first married to Deborah Chambers, the daughter of Ahimaz and Deborah Marshall-Chambers, January 6, 1810, in Nelson County, Kentucky.
Children from this marriage were:
Issac Chambers Marshall
Rebecca Marshall
Hanna Marshall
Eleanor "Ellen" Marshall (md. William Groitus)
Mark Anthony Marshall (md. Mary Ann Branham)
William W. Marshall and
Mary M. Marshall.
When Deborah died, he buried her with her parents at the Beeler-Vitottoe Cem in Nelson County, Kentucky. He crossed the Ohio River with his children, belongings, and wagon on a flat river raft, entered the new Indiana Territory, bringing his seven motherless children, and settled in the area, known presently as Jefferson County.
On March 23, 1835, he remarried to Catherine Coggins (b. Pennsylvania), in Jefferson County.
Children from this marriage were:
John W. Marshall (md. Catherine Cain)
Deborah Marshall (md. Aaron Barto)
Alice Marshall
Daniel Wesson Marshall
and Sarah A. Marshall.
We are not positive of his burial, but believe he was buried in the same cemetery as his wife, Catherine, would be laid to rest in 1887. If he is not, he was left on the land that was bought by the Ammunitions Proving Grounds; doubtful, as the government removed all known burials and intermed the deceased in the Springvale Cem, among other cemeteries.

Family story was shared with me, by our 90 year old Aunt Vera Marshall-Coleman.
She told us that her grandfather, Daniel Thomas Marshall, told the story of when the Marshall's crossed the river, into Indiana, the wolves were so many, they would overtake the wagons, as they landed on the Indiana side of the Ohio River shore. The men would sprinkle gunpowder along the trail and they would shoot off their muskets to keep the wolves away from the wagons.
