Richard Marshall.

Richard Marshall was son of Colonel Hubert Marshall of Hull. He was born about 1738, and in 1755 entered the army as an ensign in the 51st Foot, became a lieutenant in the 1st Royals (now the Royal Scots) in 1757, and was severely wounded at the Siege of Louisburg. He quitted the army with the rank of captain and settled in Glasgow, owing probably to his having married Margaret Bogle, daughter of Matthew Bogle, 3rd son of John Bogle of Hamilton Farm, who was 2nd son of George Bogle of Daldowie. By her he had 2 children - (1) Hubert, b. 1772, d. 1804, barrack-master of Dumbarton, and (2) Martha married William Bogle, Postmaster of Glasgow, 3rd son of Robert Bogle of Shettleston. Hubert Marshall married Janet, eldest daughter of John Stirling of Cordale and Tillichewan and left issue - (1) the late General Hubert Marshall of the Indian Army, and (2) Janet, married to Sir William Hamilton of Preston, Professor of Logic in the University of Edinburgh. General Marshall left a large family, but the only one of his children now connected with Glasgow is Hubert Marshall of the Bank of Scotland, Hillhead. Richard Marshall was a partner of the firm of Marshall, M’Dowall and Co., Rum Importers and West India Merchants, West side of Queen St., and of Robert Bogle and Co. He was Bailie in 1778 and 1790. In the Glasgow directory of 1789 he is entered as Master of Police, but it is said in “Glasgow Past and Present” (1884), vol 3, 192, that, in consequence of popular opposition, the Bill to provide for a Police Force, including his appointment as Superintendent, was lost. Subsequently he was appointed barrack-master of Glasgow and Dumbarton, and died in 1796. When the Royal Glasgow Volunteers, afterwards the 83rd Regiment, were raised, Mr. Marshall subscribed 50 pounds towards the expense, being one of 30 who subscribed that sum or upwards.
