 ====== Joshua Marshall (1823-1859) ======
-The will of Richard F. Marshall establishes that Joshua was his eldest living son, and census records indicate that Joshua was born in June or July of 1823. ((According to 1850 census records, Joshua was 26 years old as of 1.June.1860. According to 1860 census mortality schedules, Joshua died in July of 1859 at age 37. These records are consistent if Joshua was born in 1823, sometime after June 1 and sometime before the end of July.)). Joshua's parents were probably living in Bedford Township, Meigs County, Ohio at the time of Joshua's birth. ((Records of a land purchase in April 1823 show Joshua's father, Richard, as a resident of Meigs County at that time.))

+==== Early Life ====
 What we know of Joshua's life is based on sparse records and conjecture. Beginning in 1790, the United States has taken a census every 10 years, enumerating persons by household. Before 1850, however, the census takers only recorded the name of the head of each household and the number of persons in a set of age and gender brackets. The presumed 1830 census record for Joshua's father shows a household that includes a male age 5-9, and the 1840 record shows a male age 15-19. We take these to be Joshua based on converging evidence, the most important being Richard Marshall's will.

-==== Early Life ====
 In 1830, Joshua would have been been 6-7 years old. Federal Census records for that year indicate that Joshua's family was living in Athens Township of Athens County. However, other records show that Joshua's father continued to acquire land in Bedford Township into the 1830s, so the family may have spent time farming there.
 When Joshua was 16-17 years old, his family was living in Scioto Township of Jackson County, and they were probably farming land that Joshua's father gained full title of in 1843 (after completing installment payments to the General Land office), by which time Joshua was 19-20 years old.  Just two years after, when Joshua was 21-22 years old, his father died.
-==== Marriage, Work and Family ====
-Joshua married Narcissa (or Narcissus) Throckmorton in 1846, and they had three children.
+==== Marriage ====
+On 10.Aug.1846, Joshua married [[surname:throckmorton:1800_daniel:daniel_01_margaret:1826_narcissus:start|Narcissus Throckmorton]].  The marriage took place in Jackson County, OH and the ceremony was performed by James B. Johnson, Elder.
+((In several religious denominations of the time, an Elder was a type of ordained minister.))
 ==== Land Ownership ====
 In 1849, the U.S. government land office granted to Joshua Marshall a patent (title) for 33.24 acres of land in Clay Township, Scioto County, Ohio.  The location of this land is described as the SW quarter of the SE quarter of Section 27, Township 2, Range 21. BLM coordinates and Google Mapping tools indicate that this land is east and slightly north from the town center of Rosemount (which is north of Portsmouth).  The area is hilly and wooded, so Joshua may have purchased this land in order to harvest timber.  This would be consistent with the 1850 census listing of his occupation as Laborer (Industry Not Reported) rather than farmer.
-Joshua's estate included approximately 84 acres of land in Scioto County, OH.  In July 1862, this land was auctioned by estate administrator Foster Throckmorton (brother of Joshua's widow Narcissus).  The metes and bounds description of this land makes it difficult to determine the specific location, but it is described as being ön the waters of McCulloch's creek."  Present day McColloch/McCoullough Creek runs along CR 44 almost to CR 116, then heads south and east to flow into Scioto Brush Creek.  This places the land in Union Township, which is where an 1860 census record lists the household of Narcissus.
