"Hannah McKinney, the eldest daughter of William and Frances Piatt, was born in the "Keystone state," on March 13, 1795; and there she was married to Joseph Marshall, on September 23, 1816, and from there they went to Ohio, where they, remained for a few years, before coming to this county, and settling on the "Marshall homestead," near one mile south of Cairo. This old pioneer residence, with its massive chimney and huge fire-place, is one of the very few that have escaped the plans of the modern architect, and still stands, undisturbed, in its original state. It is now the property of A. M. Douglass, of Cairo.
"The first church organization in the community (Presbyterian) was perfected at the Marshall home, and here, a little band of worshipers gathered regularly until a church-house was erected.
Mr. Marshall died in 1835, at the home of his brother-in-law, James McKinney, at Williamstown, he having been: stricken with the fatal illness while on his way home from a business trip to Cincinnati; and in the "Bukey cemetery" at Williamstown, he rests. His wife died at the old home near Cairo, in 1874, at the age of eighty years, and she lies in the Egypt cemetery.
"They were the parents of eight children--seven sons and one daughter, the late Miss Ellen Marshall, of Cairo, being the daughter. The sons were, William M., Francis J., John P. (who never married), Robert R., of Gilmer county; Jacob W., David H. (died in youth), and Hezekiah B. Marshall, of Buckhannon, who was a resident of Mining Flats, this state for fifty-four years, and who is the only survivor of the family.
"John W. Marshall, formerly of Oil Ridge, but now of Wood county, is a grandson of this pioneer, and he has not a few other descendants in this, and adjoining counties.."

I used to visit "Uncle Bill" with my parents when he lived inMiddletown with Aunt Mae in the late 40s and early 50s. They lived in theupstairs apartment of a 2 story house. There always seemed to be paintcans and painting paraphenalia in the hallway. He would sometimes play aviolin in a style for square dancing. He had two, one was larger andmust have been a viola. He also would play a pump organ that was in theliving room. He didn't seem to think too much of kids but could bepersuaded to "show off." He was a portly man with a cookie dustermustache. My dad always said he was a lady's man, and I remember himalways having a girl friend in his older age. He was living alone in amountain home in his 83rd year when he cut his foot with an axe whilespliting wood. In typical McDowell fashion, he didn't get medicaltreatment, got gangrene, had first one and then the other leg amputated,and died as a result.
