The 1880 census of Carroll County Virginia shows:
Marshall, Marion (white, male, 26), farmer
Wife: Lucinda
Children: Cora (white, female, 3)
L. Jane (white, female, 2)

Marion owned a store, which sold dry goods, groceries, etc. We have a ledger book that shows some of his credit transactions. In that ledger book is a letter to his daughter, LeRosa Jane. It reads:
Carroll Co, VA

Mrs. L. Jane Horton
Mount View, WV

Was sorry to hear that you was not well. Willie ??to me last night that you had wrote him that you had not moved yet and that was bad cut Wes had cut his foot very bad. I am (The letter ends there but has enclosed a lock of hair, presumably Jane?s fathers hair. It is reddish brown and very fine)
The ledger book contains many IOU?s from people for goods or groceries. Names on them are Worhall, A K Sruilts, W C Marshall, Wm Marshall, Thornton Bowman, Armstred Marshall, D M Horton,
There are also some receipts. These receipts indicate the name of the store was Marion Marshall & Co, Dealers in General Merchandise, buyers and Shippers of Country Produce. It shows the address as , P O, Gladesboro, VA and is dated 4/23/1900.
There is a flyer for Liquid Electricity saying it is fast superseding all other articles for the Relief of Pain and Cure of Painful Diseases. The price is 25cnets, 50 cents and $1 per bottle according to size.
There is a receipt for train fare for 85 cents for travel on train #q47 from Danville, issued by the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway.
There is a note dated 3/26/1900 and says:
Mr. M. Marshall,
Please come out to night. I have a very important letter which is a good proposition for us to make some money without any investment on our part. I have also some money for you. Com if you possible can.
Respectfully,
J.P. Worrell
