I was thrilled to see your recent message. I too am a Marshall descendant.
My 5th great grandfather was Robert Marshall.
My branch of the Marshalls is one of the ones you mention, who married into the Crockett family. Agnes Nancy Crockett was John Crockett's daughter. She married the John Marshall son of Robert and Elizabeth.
They had a family but John Marshall died April 7 1840 and she went on to marry William Porter and had an additional family.
Agnes Nancy Crockett was my 4th great grandmother on both sides as Pearl Marshall and Clifford Porter were my maternal grandparents.
Love your user name. I too am a Bluenoser, originally from Halifax.
Please keep in touch, if I find any more information in my searching, I'll let you know.
