Historical Sketches of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Maysville, KY. and J. A.
& U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Reprinted 1968. Franklin County.

HUMPHREY MARSHALL, Esq., the father of the present Thomas A. Marshall of
the court of appeals, and of the late John J. Marshall, of Louisville, was
one of the early pioneers of Kentucky, and for many years was a
distinguished citizen of Franklin county.  He came to Kentucky about the
year 1780, and from his undisputed talents soon assumed a high rank and a
conspicuous position among the public men of the State.  For many years no
man was more actively engaged in the contests which agitated the political
circles of Kentucky; and however great the prejudice exited againt him in
the breasts of some, by party feeling, he was never denied the possession
of brilliant talents and commanding force of character.  He was a member
of the convention of 1787 which assembled at Danville, preliminary to the
formation of a constitution for the state.  He was a prominent and
influential member of the legislature for many years, and in 1795 he was
elected to the senate of the United States, for the term of six years,
ending on the 4th of March, 1801.  Mr. Marshall was a federalist, and held
to all the principles and measures of that party to their fullest extent. 
In 1824, he published a history of Kentucky, the first ever published. 
This work bears evident marks of high talent, and although  occasionally
marred by the introduction of the personal prejudices of the author, is a
most delightful and entertaining production.  He died a few years ago, at
an advanced age, at the residence of his son, Thomas A. Marshall, in
Lexington.
