The Children of Elias and Martha (FitzRandolph) Marsh

Yesterday, 20 Jun 2017, I wrote about Martha FitzRandolph who was married to Elias Marsh. Then I stated that I concluded they had 7 children. This is a time period where there are few birth records. I have used online trees and other records found through Ancestry.com. I based their order on the listing of the younger 5 in the Quaker records at Salem Monthly Meeting in Columbiana County Ohio. Here are some of my conclusions.

1. Mary Marsh, born in New Jersey 5 Feb 1779, married in 1795 to William Webster. On 1820 census they were in Liberty Township, Butler County Ohio. I believe she was the female age 26-44.
2. Elias Marsh, born in New Jersey 7 Sep 1788, married in 1810 to Edith Townsend. On 1820 census they were in Hanover Township, Columbiana County Ohio. I believe he was the male age 26-44.
3. Lydia Marsh, born in New Jersey 27 Aug 1790, married in 1808 to John Walton. On 1820 census they were in Butler Township, Columbiana County Ohio. I believe she was the female age 26-44.
4. Fanny Marsh, born probably in Pennsylvania about 1795, married in 1814 to Joseph Underwood. On 1820 census they were in Fairfield Township, Columbiana County Ohio. I believe she was the female age 14-25.
5. Joseph Marsh, born probably in Pennsylvania about 1796, married in 1816 to Hannah Rigby. On 1820 census they were in Hanover Township, Columbiana County Ohio. I believe he was the male age 14-25.
6. Samuel Marsh, born in Pennsylvania 4 Dec 1799, married in 1823 to Rebecca Gilbert. On 1820 census I believe he was in the household of his mother Martha Marsh in Hanover Township, Columbiana County Ohio I believe he was the male age 14-25.
7. Jane Marsh, born in Pennsylvania about 1800, married in 1817 to Joseph Scott. On 1820 census they were in Middleton Township, Columbiana County Ohio. I believe she was the female age 14-25.

I would be glad to receive any source information from other Marsh researchers than can correct or expand on what I have found.

Ancestor Birthday - June 20th - Martha FitzRandolph 1758 - 1837

Martha FitzRandolph was my 4th great-grandmother, born 20 Jun 1758, the daughter of Reuben and Elizabeth (Moores) FitzRandolph, in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey. My website includes very little information about her.

By looking at other trees and a few available online documents I have come to the following conclusions. Sometime around 1777 Martha married Elias Marsh, the eldest son of Joseph Marsh in New Jersey. It appears they had 7 children and the family moved to Columbiana County, Ohio by 1806, when Elias was received on certificate at the Quaker Salem Monthly Meeting.

They were still living in Columbiana County in 1820 when Elias died. Martha and her son Elias were appointed as adminstrators of the estate. They signed the bond 14 Dec 1820. I believe that Elias did not have a will since they were adminstrators, not executors.

Eventually Martha went to Butler County Ohio where she lived with her daughter, Mary Webster. Martha died 7 Nov 1837 in Monroe Township, Butler County and was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery.

Tomorrow I'll give some of my conclusions about Martha and Elias' children. .
