The George Nelson Marshall Line

The George Nelson Marshall Line

The picture below is from Bob and Leigh Glazier of the Adgate Marshall line. It contains: (Granddad) George Marshall b. 1840 and son of Robert W. Marshall the immigrant; wife Emma Edgerton Marshall (Grandma) b. 1847; unknown, but she looks like a family member so maybe it's daughter Minnie Rater; daughter (Aunt) Maggie Marshall; son (Uncle) Frank Marshall. Bob: "Aunt Maggie and Uncle Frank were their children (Leigh's Aunt and Uncle) not the civil war veteran. Emma did have a brother Frank in the war but this is not him." From the dress and hairstyles this must have been taken before World War I. Notice what looks like a scar above George Marshall's right eye; this seems to match one of the pictures on the Marshall Mystery Pix page.

The Emma Edgerton Marshall above was the half-cousin of my ancestress Laura Cordelia Edgerton as shown in this descendant chart:

Philip Edgerton
+ Mary Hall (first wife)
  Hiram Edgerton
    Laura Cordelia Edgerton
    + Robert William Marshall
+ Narcissa Osborne (second wife)
  Benjamin Edgerton
    Emma Louise Edgerton
    + George Nelson Marshall

And George Nelson Marshall was the brother of Robert William Marshall. As well as being the father of Adgate Marshall:
