HISTORY OF KENTUCKY, by Lewis Collins, and J.A. & U.P. James, 
published 1847.  Reprinted by Henry Clay Press, Lexington, Ky., 1968, 
pp. 134-135 [Unknown county].

REV. ROBERT MARSHALL was a native of Ireland, emigrating to Pennsylvania 
in his 12th year.  He enlisted in the American army when sixteen years 
of age, and was in six general engagements in the revolutionary war, one 
of which was the hard-fought battle of Monmouth, where he narrowly 
escaped with his life, a bullet grazing his locks.  He was licensed by 
the Redstone presbytery to preach the gospel, and after his removal to 
Kentucky, was ordained, in 1793, pastor of Bethel and Blue Spring 
churches.  He was an active leader in the great revival of 1800, and 
carried away by the torrent of enthusiasm that swept over Kentucky. In 
1803, he embraced the views of the New Lights, but afterwards saw his 
error, and, in 1811, returned to the bosom of the church.  In 1812, he 
was reinstated in the pastoral charge of the Bethel church, where he 
continued till his decease in1833, at the advanced age of 73.  As a 
preacher, Mr. Marshall was clear, logical, systematic, and adhered 
closely to his text.  He was occasionally calm, mild and persuasive; but 
more generally, warm, vehement, and even startling in his language and 
manner, particularly when he attempted to rouse and impress his 
audience. [Presbyterian].
