WASHINGTON POST, Saturday, October 17, 1981 (page B1) FIRE DESTROYS HISTORIC MD MANSION, by Paul Hodge, Washington Post Staff Writer.
"Marshall Hall, the 256-year-old plantation house across the Potomac from Mount Vernon that was considered one of Maryland's finest large early colonial houses, was totally destroyed yesterday in a fire deemed arson by state fire marshals, Demolished with the brick mansion was a turn-of-thecentury carousel building, the only remnant of the Victorian amusement park which surrounded the house until the National Park Service closed and raszed the amusement part two years ago. The gate of the barbed-wire fence surrounding the mansion was broken open and the two fires apparently set after 1 A.M., according to Park Service officials and state fire marshal William Mitchell. A small 18th century brick outbuilding and the old Marshall family graveyard were not damaged. Only an early mantel, a door frame, a cabinet and the brick walls remain of the house built in 1725, several years before George Washington was born and 29 years before the construction of Mount Vernon was begun, Park Service officials said yesterday. No estimate of the dollar value of the damage will be available until next week.

"Its very upsetting to those of us in historic preservarion, because it was a fine building with great prospects", Mount Vernon resident director John Castellani said yesterday. At the time of the fire, the Park Service was just finishing an architectural study and restoration plans for the house, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the largest house in Southern Maryland built prior to 1740. "We were surprised to find so much of the original house still intact, including some early floors, mantels, and magnificent panelling hidden behind sheetrock walls", said the Park Service project coordinator David Sherman. The amusement park had used the buildings as offices from 1895 until 1979. Although the Park Service had no definite plans for Marshall Hall, officials were considering a number of potential uses for the mansion, including as a possible new headquarters for National Colonial Farm, the Park Service-funded "living history" farm located about a mile away in another section of Piscataway Park. If the brick walls are found to be structurally sound, they will be saved and the house could someday be rebuilt", Sherman said.

In 1650, William Marshall of London, obtained a royal patent for the original 500 acres along the Potomac. His descendants later officially bought the land from the Piscataway Indian Nation, which had lived there for centuries. The family of merchants and traders owned the land for more than 200 years before being forced to sell it after the Civil War. The Marshall and Washington families were close, establishing a public ferry across the Potomac between the two estates and even allowing intermarriage among their slaves, according to Mount Vernon librarian Ellen McCallister.

THE TIMES-CRESCENT, Friday, April 24, 195-[could be 1953 or 1959] LaPlata MD;
FOR YOU, by Zelda Branch. "Sent by R.F.Wood, 1819 G St. NW, who noted in margin: "Maybe only quoted from some book on NGS shelves, but I send it along on a chance. Robert F Wood."

A friend of mine if I may be so bold, who now lives in Indian Head, wrote me a letter right after I had written a column on MARSHALL HALL. That letter was so enlightening that I am going to share it with YOU. Its not an ordinary letter as you will see, for it is from a personage of fine tradition and distinguished family background.

"MARSHALL HALL was the colonial seat of the Marshalls of Maryland, who were a branch of the Virginia Family. They trace their ancestry back to John Marshall, Esq. of Headingly, County York, Member of Parliament for Yorkshire in the 16th Centure, 1550, as seen by an inscription engraved upone the framed coat-of-arms in the family today. William Marshall, the Founder of the Maryland Family, came from England to what is now Charles County as early as 1641. He obtained a grant of 500 acres from Lord Baltimore, March 21, 1651, which was designated as MARSHALL. His second wife was Mrs. Katherine Hebden, widow of Thomas Hebden. His three children were: William, Joshua, and Elizabeth. William I died 1673, so the true story of MARSHALL HALL centers about the name of his son, William Marshall II, who was designated as 'Ye head of Wicomico River'.

The tract of MARSHALL HALL of 200 acres was purchased direct from the Piscataway Indians by William Marshall I. The original deed was in the family until 1870 when it was lost in the mail in transit from New Orleans to a descendant in Maryland. It was written on a course piece of paper, 6" x 8" in a clear legible hand and was signed by John (his mark) Ackelahama, Emperor of Piscataway, and witnessed by John Hutchison, the clerk's signature on the back being in Latin. The mansion as it stands today debarring the encircling porch was built by William Marshall II, not far from 1690, a half century before Mount Vernon. It was built of brick imported from England. The kitchen which has long since vanished, was built by other hands - perhaps a quarter century later as William Marshall II died in 1698. The old barn and carriage house was created by the family slaves in 1808 from brick made at the hall, and the little brick house, which is but a few yards from the mansion, came into existence as a medical office for Dr. Thomas Marshall before the American Revolution.

For six generations MARSHALL HALL remained in the family, being handed down from father to son. From William Marshall II, the builder, each succeding head of the family was Thomas Marshall to the last owner. In the meantime, the estate extended its boundary to 4000 acres and it has been said the Marshalls could ride 12 miles without leaving their domain. It remained in the family unti 1866, when the misfortunes of the Civil War compelled its sacrifice to strangers. William Marshall II married Elizabeth Hanson, daughter of Randolph Hanson and Barbara Hatton Johnson Hanson, niece of Thomas Hatton, Secretary of the Province. Their children were: William Marshall III (1690-1734), Barbara (1692-1692), Thomas Marshall (1694-1750), and Richard. After the death of William Marshall II in 1688, his wife Elizabeth (Hanson) Marshall was married to Colonel John Fendall of Clifton Hall, son of Josiah Fendall.

Thomas Marshall the third son of William Marshall II, fell heir to the estate. He married 1726 or 1727, Mrs Elizabeth Batie Stoddert, widow of Captain James Stoddert, who was the ancester of Benjamin Stoddert the first Secretary of the navy. His second wife was Sabina Truman Greenfield. Thomas Marshall (1731-1801) inherited the estate of his father Thomas Marshall (born 1694). He married Rebecca Dent, daughter of Colonel Dent, Chief Justice of Maryland. It was from this Thomas Hanson Marshall that George Washington wanted to buy MARSHALL HALL, but Thomas Marshall wrote him: 'The Hall is not for sale. Name your price for Mount Vernon and it is mine'.

Thomas Marshall (1757-1829) was next in line. He was born, lived and died at MARSHALL HALL. When the American Revolution called the men to action, he enlisted as a surgeon and lost his sight in the service of his country. The little brick house stands today as a monument to his memory for it was built for his medical office. On 29 October 1785 he married Ann Clagett, daughter of Richard and Mary (Marshall) Clagett."

Thus ends the letter. I know that you are and I am, thankful for this authentic information. Even though MARSHALL HALL is commercial now, lets go back some day and see it with new eyes. We of Charles County are mighty fortunate. The end.
