Research Notes:
Esther Clark Wright, Planters and Pioneers Nova Scotia 1749 to 1775, (Hantsport, Nova Scotia, 1978), p.185, states William was born at Billerica, Massachusetts 28 Jul 1710, son of John and Eunice (Rogers) Marshall, and died at Granville, Nova Scotia 31 March 1797. The birth date appears in the published vital records of Billerica. It seems more likely that William is related to the other contemporary Marshalls in Ipswich, perhaps a brother to Ezekiel Marshall, whose daughter married Robert Nason. [Ref: Doug Chase 2/28/2000]

vital records indicate that William of Billerica and William of Ipswich/Walpole are separate individuals [Ref: Doug Chase 2/28/2000]

probably resided at Ipswich until 1749, when the Selectmen of Walpole warned out of "ye town William Marshall and his wife and all of his children" Citing Isaac Newton Lewis, A History of Walpole, 1905, p94. [Ref: Doug Chase 2/28/2000]

Mass Archives v.94b p334 notes that William (as of October 1756) was 38 years old, a resident of Walpole, but a native of Ipswich, serving as a "hired" (as opposed to impressed or volunteered) soldier in Captain William Bacon's Company, Colonel Richard Gridley's Regiment, apparently in an expedition to Fort Edward. V94a p95 and p115 credit him with service in the Crown Point Expedition, 5/3/55-8/27/55, and 5/3/56-(no end date given) [Ref: Stan Johnson 5/31/1999]

Willard De Lue, The Story of Walpole 1724-1924 (Norwood, 1925), p.120, cites Mass Archives 94:64, in which he gave his age as 42 in 1756 when he enlisted for service. William Marshall, age 42, weaver, was one of sixteen Walpole men who enlisted in the Company commanded by Captain William Bacon of Dedham for action in the French and Indian War. The company mustered at Dedham on 3 May 1756, and on 8 May, marched to Fort William Henry on Lake George, New York. A muster roll of bacon's company on 11 October included William Marshall amone those reported sick. [Ref: Doug Chase 2/28/2000]

appears on a return, dated 9 April 1759, of men enlisted or impressed fror His Majesty's service in Colonel Francis Brinley's Regiment for the invasion of Canada, aged 41, resident of Walpole. Enlisted 29 Mar 1759. Reported served on a former expedition three times at Lake George, born at Ipswich. Remarks made by Captain Joshua Clap. On this same report appears the name of Anthony marshall, aged 20, resident of Walpole, father or master, William Marshall. Boston Evening Transcript, 1 Apr 1914, citing Massachustetts Archives 97:103. [Ref: Doug Chase 2/28/2000]

names of William Marshall and John Marshall are included in the pay roll of Captain Timothy Mann's Company which responded to the alarm of 17 July 1780 in Rhode Island. At Walpole town meeting of 10 Feb 1783, it was voted "to pay to Abner Daggett for Rum & Sugar for William Marshall when Sick, 3s 9p". A similar report is found in the Story of Walpole, and both sources refer to William as being "poor." [Ref: Doug Chase 2/28/2000]
