Robert married Martha J. Marshall on 22 Feb 1843 in Caldwell, County, KY. Martha (daughter of Reuben R. Marshall and Elizabeth James) was born in 1828 in Caldwell County, KY; died in 1863 in Lyon County, KY; was buried in Jones Cemetery, Lyon County, KY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

! Martha was the third child of Reverand Reuben R. Marshall, born 1794 in
Scott County, KY and Elizabeth James, born 1798 in VA, a duaghter of
Thomas James, Sr., a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War, and Elizabeth
Robinson.

! Martha surely had stressful and trying times. In 1849 she was
two months pregnant with her fourth child, John, when Mildred, her third
child died at two years of age.

! In April 1857 her husband died of winter fever. About four months
later on August 7, 1857 her first child Martha died from lockjar at three
years of age.

! She was appointed administrix of her husband's estate on 10-20-1857,
but she relinquished her right of guardianship of her remaining children -
Nancy, John, Isabella, Sarah, and Gablriel to her father Reuben. His
guardianship put him in charge of their finances and explains why they were
listed as Marshall's in the 1860 census, even though they lived with their
mother.

! Out of the eight children, only three lived to be adults, the other death
dates are not known.

! It is probable that both Martha and Robert R. are buried at Jones
Cemetery and their markers probably destroyed during the 1937 Flood.
There are many immediate family members buried there.
