Lawyers and Lawmakers of Kentucky, by H. Levin, editor, 1897. Published

Press.  p. 183.  Woodford County.

EDWARD COLSTON MARSHALL, a brother of Thomas F., was born June 15, 1821,
near Versailles, Kentucky, was also a lawyer of distinction, with all the
native ability of the Marshall family and but few, if any, of their
failings.  He was a thoroughly educated man, was graduated in law at
Transylvania University and entered on the practice at Versailles.  He
later practiced for a time in Baltimore and Cincinnati and on the
declaration of war with Mexico entered the service and was in many of the
engagements from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico.  He returned to
Cincinnati, but soon after went to California, where he engaged actively
in his profession, and in 1851 was elected to congress, the first
representative from that state.  He later returned to Versailles,
Kentucky, where he made his home, but divided his time between California
and his native state.  He served California as attorney general and
secured and retained the confidence and esteem of the people.  A man of
strong convictions, unsurpassed oratorical power, a thoroughly read
lawyer, he was leader among men.
