Misc. Notes
Abraham Marshall was born (1669) at Gratton, in Derbyshire, England, of parents belonging to the Episcopal Church, but when about sixteen years of age he became a member of the Society of Friends [Quaker], in which he was afterwards a highly-esteemed minister.
About 1700 he came to Darby, Pa., where he married, 1st month (March, old style) 17, 1702–3, Mary, daughter of James Hunt, of Kingsessing, who came from Kent, in England. Soon after this they settled on the Brandywine, in what is now West Bradford township, Chester Co., Pa., where he purchased large tracts of land, and where he died 12th month 17, 1767, and she on the 4th of the 3d month, 1769.

Abraham Marshall, born 1, 12, 1785, died 2, 10, 1874, aged eighty-nine years. He married Sarah Broomhall and resided at the original homestead of his great-grandfather, in West Bradford, a portion of the house having been built in 1730. It was enlarged in 1764 by Humphry Marshall, son of the emigrant, and is now owned by Abraham Marshall, son of Abraham, deceased, together with over 100 acres of the original tract. [This Abraham b. 1, 12, 1785, is very likely a descendant of Abraham b. 1669.] 2482

JOHN MARSHALL, a cousin of Abraham Marshall, emigrated from Elton, in Derbyshire, England, in 1687, and probably first settled in Blockley township, Philadelphia Co., but within the verge of Darby Friends’ Meeting, of which he was an attentive member. In 1688 he married Sarah Smith, of Darby, their marriage being the first that was solemnized at the first meeting-house built at that place. He died 9, 13, 1729.
