Ancestor Unbirthday - Abt 1751 - Elias Marsh

Yesterday, October 7th, I wrote about Joseph Marsh, who was the father of Elias Marsh, my 4th gt-grandfather. On September 7th, I wrote about Elias Marsh the son of today's Elias and on June 20th I wrote about Martha FitzRandolph, his wife, and on June 21st I wrote about their children. So I have gone most of the way all around this Elias so today he gets his own post.

In his father's will it named Elias as the oldest son. Since Joseph's first marriage to Martha Webster was 22 Aug 1750, it is probable that Elias was born sometime in 1751. As I wrote in his wife's post Elias and Martha FitzRandolph were married around 1777 in New Jersey. There was an Elias Marsh on the tax list for Woodbridge in Middlesex County New Jersey in 1779 and in 1787.

According to a FitzRandolph family history their family moved to Columbiana County, Ohio around 1804. They are shown in the Quaker records of the Salem Monthly Meeting in Columbiana County being received on certificate from the Rahway and Plainfield Meeting in New Jersey in 1806.

There was an Elias Marsh on the tax list in Columbiana County in 1809 and 1810. The FitzRandolph family history stated that Elias died in 1820. From some estate records in Columbiana County it showed that administrators were appointed in December of 1820 for Elias Marsh: Martha Marsh [probably his wife] and Elias Marsh [probably his son].
