---------- Letter from Isaac P Marshall to Daniel Marshall, August 2, 1824:
Mr. Daniel Marshal / Tunbridge / Orange Co. / Vt.
Ohio - August the 2, 1824
Dear Father and Mother:
I do embrace this opportunity of writing to you. I would inform you that my health is very good. I take this method to inform you of that which I expect you are entirely ignorant of. I am in the state of Ohio in the town of Monroe and county of Ashtabula.
I have not doubt but you have had trouble on the account of my leaving my native country in the manner I did. I should like to inform you of the cause of my leaving Vermont, but I expect I shall not to your satisfaction. I can give no other cause than that ?? (I discontented). The cause of my coming into this country appears as strange to me as it does to any of my acquaintances. I formed a resolution last February of visiting some other country but I never let my resolution be known till now because I knew if I did I should not leave Vermont.
I wish my neighbors and acquaintances all well. I never calculated to do anything to bring trouble upon my parents and relations. It is my desire that you would give yourself no trouble about me. I never wish to injure my fellow relations nor wrong them out of a cent of property. I wish that my business might be settled and every man have his just due. My father, I will inform you about my business in Tunbridge and Worthfield.
There is due to me from Mr. Joseph Keyes $32.36 to be paid in (?y ousin) the first day of January next and about $10 in money to be paid in. Elias Curtis is owing me $11 due from Elisha Williams this November $1.51. I expect and have property enough to pay any debts in Tunbridge. Father, if you can settle my debts in Tunbridge without injuring yourself I wish you would. And if there should anything be left you shall be welcome to it. Only I wish Russell to have my gun and equipments. Be careful and not injure yourself asettling my debts. I expect it is a disappointment to some people by me leaving Vermont. But you take Mr. Benj Tesses (?) of Worthfield. He is not injured more than I am. I had got an idea that if I stayed in Vermont I should be a poor miserable creature. My mind was troubled. I studied night and day and at last made resolution against leaving my friends but all to no purpose. Travel I must into a distant country. I am 600 miles from Vermont. I am in a friendly country, a pleasant country and agreeable people. The crops have been injured on the account of wet weather in this section of the country but I never see crops look so well in Vermont as they do here. I have seen corn here 10 feet high and almost fit to roast. Oats are remarkable good, wheat and rye middling good for this country. I started from Tunbridge the 22 day of June. I arrived in Meadville the 6 day of July after a wet and long tedious journey of 15 days. Me mother, I often think of your cares of which I am deprived of. I expect you have had trouble respecting my situation and the singular way I left you but I hope this letter will comfort you in some degree.
A few words to my sisters one and all: You are in your native country blessed with parental care of parents. You are blessed with the privilege of meeting together and conversing upon the affairs of a departed brother one who wishes you all prosperity. No doubt but you have anxious desires to hear from your brother. But, my sisters, children must be separated from parents and brothers from sisters. It may be this letter will be the means of giving satisfaction to you. It is not impossible that I may see you all again but uncertain. I do not wish to have any letter wrote to me until I write again for it is uncertain where I shall be.
Uncle David's folks are in a bad situation. Uncle was taken last April with a shock of the numb palsy on one side and has been confined ever since but he has got so he can walk out of one room into the other. Daniel was taken about the same manner as he was before he left Vermont and goes on crutches. The rest of the family are all well. Willard has bought land in Randolf 12 miles from Meadville. Nathaniel and Danile have bought land in Normansburgh 8 miles from Meadville. L. W. Barrett is well and likes all the people that came from Vermont. Capt. Hatch and his wife send their respects to father and mother.
A few words to my brother and I have to close. Russell, my brother, the space of 600 miles separates us. You are blessed with the care of tender parents, but remember you must be separated from them. You must try and soothe their troubles. It may be we shall see each other again upon the shores of time but it is altogether uncertain.
I wish to give my respects to all enquiring friends.
I subscribe myself your child till death.

Letter from Isaac P Marshall to Daniel Marshall, November 5, 1825:
Mr. Daniel Marshal / Tunbridge / Orange County / Vt.
Honored Father:
Having received your letter dated the 10 of September and with it a quit-claim deed, on perusing it I find it is your request that I should write to you and send back the deed executed and I have concluded to answer your request. As respects my health it is remarkable good and has been ever since I left Vermont. I have not experienced a sick day since I have been in this country. The blessing of health has been wonderfully bestowed on me, the greatest blessing that can be enjoyed on earth especially in a strange land and destitute of earthly parents. I am treated with as much kindness and respect as can possibly be expected from strangers. I am still in the employment of teaching school in the district where I commenced last November. I expect to continue school here until the 23rd of next May and I do not know byut I shall continue one year longer. Money is very scarce here. I have not received of my wages but $5. I have taken obligations on interest for my first 6 months wages. I shall have due to me at the end of my engagement $230. The whole amount of my wages for the year and 6 months amounts to $250. My expenses for clothing will amount to about $20. I now have on the same clothing that I wore from Tunbridge except stockings and shoes. I received the stockings that mother sent to me by Mr. Barrett and I am much obliged to her for them, not on the account of my being naked or barefoot. I have bought only 2 pairs of stockings and 3 shirts, one coat and 2 pair of pantaloons and one vest since I have been here. Mr. Barrett arrived here last June in high spirits and good health. He moved his family into a house about 2 miles from Uncle Davids where he lived about 2 weeks. He did not much like the people in Pennsylvania. He moved from here into the Ohio in Monro where he has bought land. I had a vacation in my school in harvesting of 2 weeks. In that time I was at Monro to see him and other Vermont people. He has bought 85 acres of land, 12 acres under improvement. I do not think he has bought very good land. I do not like the land in the Ohio so well as I do here. It is not half so well watered there as it is here and the land does not produce so well there as it does here. We have had a remarkable warm season here. All kinds of produce is very good. There is great crops of apples and peaches. They make no cyder here. I have not drank any cyder since I have been here. The market price of wheat is 50 cents, corn and rye 25 cents. All kinds of merchandise is about the same here as it was in Vermont. They make use of no kinds of spirits but whisky and the price of it is 37 cents per gallon.
Respecting my business in Vermont with Mr. Fisk and Mr. Keyes I should like to have it settled on fair and reasonable terms. You wrote to me that Mr. Fisk would give up the notes he holds against me if I would send back the deed executed. I have concluded to do it but I request you to get up all the notes I gave for the land before you give him the deed and I do not agree to give anything back. You informed me that Mr. Keyes would endorse $35 on a note he holds against me. If Mr. Keyes will give up the note and pay you $25 for what he owes me and Mr. Fisk will give up all the notes he holds against me I request you to settle with them as you think proper. You may have all you can get by settling with them but do not settle with them in a way that will be injurious to your interest and do not pay anything back to either of them. All I have paid for the land to Mr. Fisk was the mare, which we called $70, and if he says that I paid anything more it is a falsehood. I do not know the exact sum Mr. Keyes is owing me but I believe it is over $40. You informed me that all of my other debts were settled in Tunbridge. Mr. Barrett informed me that you paid Blake and Austin between $15 and $20. My account there was not over $12. When you write to me write the particulars about it. Mr. Barrett brought the note I gave Mr. Hacket to me and he says he bought it. He has told different stories about it but I have taken up the note and I want you should make inquiry of Mr. Hacket on what conditions he let him have the note and inform me. My horse I sent by W. Barrett to Anadaggar for salt. The salt I have since sold for the money. I think I am making property as fast here as I could in Vermont and four times as easily. I have not done one-half days work since I have been here. I should like to see you very well but I do not know as I every shall. It may be that I shall come back in the course of 6 years but I do not know.
Most Affectionate and Respected Mother:
I do at this time attempt to address myself to a mother who in my infancy I have no doubt anticipated much happiness of my being a support and staff to her in her old age, but alas, her joy is turned into mourning and her happiness into grief and misery, but tender mother when you think of me think I am in good health and doing well, think I am better off than I could possibly have been to stayed in Vermont. There is nothing that has given me any trouble in consequence of my coming away but the thought of my parents and near connections. I often think of you and I should be very glad to see you, but considering the situation I left my native country I am often led to think I shall never see it again. I expect you have heard something from one that has given you some comfort. By Mr. Hatch and his wife I was acalculating to have sent a packet of letters by them. I had written seven letters and done them up ready to send to them before they started their journey but I had not the privilege of sending them before they started. I wanted you should send me my great coat by them. If you have not sent it by them I want you should send it to the first opportunity.
I am in a district of very civil inhabitants. There is many women in my district that are almost as kind and tender as my own mother. I go from house to house when I please. It is very seldom I stay two nights agoing in one house. I have the privilege to go where I please and it is like going avisiting. But I must stop writing knews. I understand you are like to have as many sons as daughters. I have been correctly informed that Naomi was to be married to Daniel Wilson last July. Please to inform me if it is so. Our connections in this country are all well. Give my respects to all enquiring friends. I remain yours.

Letter from Isaac P Marshall to Mary Marshall, October 16, 1830:
Mrs. Mary Marshal / Tunbridge / Orange County / Vt.
Most honored mother:
Having an opportunity of writing you I do most cheerfully embrace it.
My health and the halth of my family is very good and my desire is that this may find you enjoying the same blessing. I received you letter dated April 25th, 1830 and perused it with much satisfaction. In reading it over I find you censure me very hard for not writing to you. And I have but few apologies to make. When I was employed at school time and opportunity of writing to you presented very often. But since, I have been employed in other business and have not had the same chance of writing to you but I have not forgotten you. I have commenced writing a number of letters to you and neglected finishing them. I suppose you think the reason of my not writing to you is because I am not able to pay the postage of your sending letters to me but I will endeavor to inform you of my circumstances and then you can judge for yourself.
On the 10th of this inst. My brother-in-law Jeremiah Allen and myself formed a store with a capital of $2,000 and I am now employed in the mercantile business. This letter is wrote behind my own counter. I have worked very hard since I left off teaching school. Last year I built a barn for myself and finished it off and worked enough for other people to amount to $100. And this year I have build a storehouse for myself and finished it off and it is now full of goods and more than we can get on our shelves. We have every article of merchandise that is called for in a country store. There is no store within 8 miles of ours, and we are both of us busy employed in selling our goods.
I now own 8 acres of land where I live and a good house and barn and storehouse and 50 acres that I bought last November lying about one-fourth of a mile from our village.
By your letter it appears that you feel very anxious to see me and I would be very glad to give you an opportunity but I cannot correctly inform you when we shall see each other. It may be that I shall go to the city of York in the spring to purchase goods and if I do I will come and see you. It would be a great satisfaction to me if I could see you and my brother and sisters but I have no desire to come into the state of Vermont to live again and I would rather have what I have got here than to have a whole township in the state of Vermont. Crops of grain have come in very good this year except corn, that has come in rather light. We have had a fruitful fall.
You wrote me that Russell has gone to York state and was acoming into this country but I have not heard anything from him since you wrote. You wrote that my sisters were very much scattered, one here and another there, some married and some not. You wrote that Ruby and Rachel were at Lowell Facttory and when you write again write the name of the county and state so that I can direct a letter to them. I would like to write to Russell but I cannot because I do not know where to direct a letter. If you know where he is I wish you to write to me.
I will now endeavor to inform you the situation of my family. Our eldest son Russell Alden Marshal was born June 22, 1827. Our youngest son Ande Willson Marshal was born September 18, 1829. They are both smart active boys and they are all the children we have. By request of Ruby I send you a lock of their hair. The lightest color is Russell's and the curly Ande's. My wife sends you here best respects accompanied with a yard and a half of cap ribbon.
I should be glad to send you many things which I suppose you stand in need of. But the expense of carrying would be more than the expense of buying them there. All of our connections in this country are all well.
Write to me when you receive this and direct your letter to Isaac P. Marshall to be left at Harts X Roads. By your putting the P. to my name you will distinguish my name from another man in our township by the name of Isaac Marshal which has caused some trouble in receiving letters.
I must draw to a close by subscribing myself your most obt. Son.

Letter from Isaac P Marshall to Mary Marshall, July 28, 1833:
Mra. Mary Marshall / Chelsea, Orange County (crossed out) / Plainfield, VT
Most Respected Mother:
Having an opportunity of sending this letter to you direct induces me to write to you at this time. I expect you will have the same information from us by Mr. Lathrop without my writing but for the gratification of your feelings I devote a few moments in writing to you. My health and the health of my family are very good and we are living in a healthy climate and in prosperous circumstances. We were informed by Mr. Lathrop that you with the rest of our connections in that country were in good health, which was pleasing for us to hear. Our connections in this country are all generally good. Uncle David Marshal is declining very fast. He has had another shock of the numb palsy which has destroyed the use of his limbs and he is altogether helpless. His reasoning faculties are very good. They are only impaired by age but it is not likely he will continue long in this world. Uncle Barrett I have not seen since he came to this country. He is living with Whatley and the last account I had from them they were all well. Mr. Lathrop informs me that he thinks you have some idea of coming to this country which I hope you will do. I do not wish to advise you to leave your children there if it is contrary to your wish and come and live with us but if you will come and live with us I will bind myself you shall want for nothing to make yourself comfortable through life which I can provide for you. Russell is living with me and has lived with me every since he came to this country and I expect he will live with me this season. I gave him $10 per month for the first 6 months and I have given him $11 since and I am giving him $14 now. We work at carpenters and joiners work and I believe he calculates to follow that business. He has got so that he can work very well and I believe it is the best business he can follow. Please to excuse me for not writing to you before for my business has been such I have not had the same opportunity I used to have formerly but whoever whishes to read this letter let him have an opportunity. Give my respects to all enquiring friends. I am with respect your dutiful son.
Isaac P. Marshal / July 28, 1833
Enquire of Mr. Lathrop about my wife and children for I have neglected writing anything about them although my wife sends her best respects to you and all who may enquire after her. [Ref: Isaac Marshal 7/28/1833]
