      It is unknown whether Robert was born in England or Maryland.


    • The family story is that Bobby came to the US from England. He was playing and pulled a chair out from under a woman. She died. He was indentured to a blacksmith in Maryland after the incident, arriving at the US in Philadelphia. In Maryland, he chose not to stay with the blacksmith for the seven-year indenture, but instead swam the Potomac River after four years and settled in Virginia. He was a blacksmith and a carpenter. Originally he went to Floyd County, Virginia, then Grayson/Carroll County.

      After he came to the US, six more of Bobby?s brothers followed. Two of them settled in New York. We don?t know what happened to the others.
      The old Marshall Homestead is at Laurel Fork, VA. (The post office is Hillsville, Virginia)
