The Move to North CarolinaWilliam & Rebecca Marshall were received 12/2/1752 at Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Orange County, North Carolina. Their certificate was dated 5/16/1749 from New Garden Monthly Meeting in Pennsylvania. On 1/12/1764 they donated 26 acres of land for Cane Creek Meeting House. In 1807 their son, John Marshall, requested ten acres of the land back from Cane Creek Monthly Meeting.William Marshall's brother, John Marshall, married Ruth Hadley in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in about 1744, and they too came to Cane Creek Monthly Meeting in Orange County, North Carolina (certificate 12/6/1755 from Concord Monthly Meeting to Cane Creek Monthly Meeting). Their children are listed at Cane Creek Monthly Meeting. There were thus many descendants of the Irish Marshall/Marshill family in the North Carolina area, and later in Indiana.
