| While there are number of unresolved questions about Richard F. Marshall, we do know that he is buried in Waverly, Pike County, Ohio. Several of Richard's descendants have visited the grave site, and a picture of the gravestone can be seen via the Find-A-Grave website. However, it is primarily from the discovery of Richard's will by his descendant [[sources:start#rem|REM]], that we can identify Richard F. Marshall and his wife Sarah ("Sally") Hall as ancestors for the Marshall families of this wiki. That will provides the names of Richard's wife and children. Putting this together with other records, lets us know something about Richard and Sarah, and helps us construct a family tree of their descendants. | While there are many unresolved questions about Richard F.

| ((There are census records for 1820, 1830 and 1840 that are assumed to be for Richard's household. In these years the census recorded only the name of the head of household, so all we have for other members of the household are counts of males and females by age brackets. For some or Richard's children, their approximate birth date has been derived through reconciliation of these early census records with later records.)) | ((There are census records for 1820, 1830 and 1840 that are assumed to be for Richard's household.
