who came from Perry County to this county in 1798. They settled in this township, and there spent the remainder
of their days, both dying at a good old age. Michael Marshall commenced pioneer life when all of a man's labors
were with his own hands, without the aid of machinery, and when a well filled powder horn and a blanket could purchase

David married Georgie Logan. Our subject has been School Director for many years. In 1862 he was elected County
