Marshall briefly studied law with George Wythe at the College of
William and Mary before being admitted to the bar. It was during
this time that he met Mary Willis Ambler Marshall who would
become his beloved wife. Soon after, Marshall moved to Richmond
where he served in the Virginia House of Delegates. It was not
long until John Marshall was known for his fairness, his belief
in a strong Federal government, and his acute intellect. These
characteristics made him a leading member of the law community
in Richmond and prompted John Adams to call on Marshall to serve
his country.
In 1797, President John Adams convinced John Marshall to serve
as an envoy in the XYZ Affair. Upon returning , Adams offered
Marshall a seat on the Supreme Court. Marshall chose instead to
serve in the U. S. House of Representatives in 1799. In 1800,
Marshall was appointed to the post of Secretary of State and by
1801 President Adams appointed Marshall as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court.
Marshall served as Chief Justice for thirty-four years. The
influence of his decisions did much to strengthen the judicial
branch of government. Many scholars hold that Marshall was the
founder of Constitutional law and judicial precedent. His
decision in Marbury vs. Madison in 1803 declared the power of
the Supreme Court to invalidate an act of Congress if it that
act was in conflict with the Constitution.
In two cases, McCulloch vs. the State of Maryland, and Gibbons
vs. Ogden, the rulings of the Supreme Court gave the Judiciary
power to set aside state legislative acts if they were in
conflict with the federal Constitution. The Supreme Court, under
the guidance of Marshall, also ruled that the judiciary could
reverse a decision of the state court. These decisions are still
reflected in the work of the Supreme Court today.
Marshall's strict reading of the Constitution brought him into
conflict with the Republicans. Chief among his opponents was
President Thomas Jefferson. Though the two men were cousins,
Marshall and Jefferson were continually in conflict. Marshall
believed that a strong Federal government was necessary to
ensure that the government would meet the needs of all the
people. Jefferson, on the other hand, believed that the power of
government should remain in the hands of the states. Marshall
and Jefferson also took opposing positions at the trial of Aaron
Burr in 1806-1807.
John Marshall died in 1835 in Philadelphia. His body was brought
back to Richmond and laid next to that of his "dearest Polly" in
Shockoe Valley Cemetery. His passing was mourned by the nation,
but his legacy remains."

"Henry was listed with the heads of families in Henrico Co., VA,
when he was tithable and assessed to support an army to defend
against the Indians. In the same group of 40 neighbors was Col.
William Byrd. Henry evidently owned land at that time since he
was taxed. He was not a large land owner by comparison to the
Carter, Byrd's, Randolph's or Washington's who owned thousands
of acres, but to a land owner at age 25, he was of some
importance.
In 1686 Henry was granted 220 acres on the north side of the
James River in Henrico County, which tract he sold to Mary
(Fields) Jones in 1697.
On April 20, 1687 Henry and John Fields were granted 440 acres
of land in Varina Parish, Henrico County, on the north side of
the James River, beginning at Almond Creek. Henry was involved
with the Fields & Jones families throughout the records of
Henrico County. Mary Fields, sister of Thomas and John Fields
married Edward Jones and Henry Pruitt administered the estate of
Edward Jones in 1695.
On August 3, 1691 Henry supported by John Fields was sued by
William Byrd. The only connection found between the Prewitt and
Byrd families as they resided in the same area. Henry's land on
Almond Creek was about 20 miles up the James River from William
Byrds plantation "Westover".
Many families followed the Byrds into southern VA. the Pruitts
among them settling in northern Halifax County, VA. in 1745."
