Person:David Marsh (16)

NOTE: David Marsh is known to have been born in New Jersey and grew up in Pennsylvania. Below is documentation for the best scenario for him. In 1814 David's sister Hannah Conkling and her husband Pierson moved from Pennsylvania to Reily Township Butler County Ohio. Pierson and Hannah were both related to Ezekial Ross of Butler County. Siblings and nephews of Pierson Conkling and children and grandchildren of Hugh and Hannah Marsh of Warren County Pa did move to Butler County Ohio and Wayne County Indiana and of this Marsh and Conkling families. It is reasonable that David and his children may have also migrated with these groups.

In Shirley Keller Mikesell's book "Butler County, Ohio Land Records Volume 2: 1816-1823" there is an abstract of a land deed that mentions David Marsh on pg. 221

· "Deed dated 1822, Abraham Meddock & Elizabeth his wife to Edward Noble S 19, T 3 R 1; adj John Misner, Lewis Bonel. Signed Abraham Meddock, Elizabeth (X) Meddock. Witn. Thomas Ross, David Marsh, Brant Ignew rec. 1822 p. 162" [

This would be Book I of the land records T-3 R1 refers to Morgan Township .]

Also, in Mikesell's book on page 153:

The 1850 US Census shows shows David Marsh (age 64 b. abt 1786 B. NY) in Ohio County Indiana with wife Mary (age 50. B. NJ). The NY birth place for David is wrong. Many members of the Marsh family lived in this area. Chances are that he had children living in this area also but they have not been identified.

The last notation for David is found in the Rising Sun Indiana Weekly Visitor Wednesday, July 8, 1857, Rising Sun, Indiana David Marsh deceased, late of Ohio county will sell at Public Auction estate to be sold on Tuesday the 1st day of September 1857. .....sale being made in purssonance to an order of the court, made as the July term, 1857.
