! JOHN JAMES MARSHALL was born in Woodford county, Kentucky, on the
4th of
August, 1785, a son of Humphrey and Mary Marshall. He had rare
advantages for securing an education and won first honors of his class in
Princeton College, of New Jersey, where he was graduated in 1806. He
then took up the study of law under the direction of his father and after
careful preparation for the profession began practice, gaining a high
reputation and a liberal patronage. Inheriting from his father a fortune
of ample proportions, he nevertheless made for himself a career at the bar
that classed him among the distinguished jurists of the state. Like
the other members of his family, he too was called to public life by the vote
of the people, and for many years served in the general assembly where his
support to wise legislative measures made him a valued member of both
the house and senate. He represented Franklin county in the legislature in
1815 and 1816, and in 1820 was elected to the senate for
a four-years term. From 1829 until 1833 he was reporter of the court of
appeals and published seven volumes of decisions of cases of law and
equity. in 1833 he served as elector, and the same year was once more
elected representative from his district to the state legislature.
In 1837 he was appointed by Governor James Clark judge of the
circuit embracing Louisville, and removed to that city. He continued to
occupy that office up to the date of his death.
During the financial crisis which swept over the country in 1837 Mr.
Marshall lost his property, this being occasioned by the generous support
which he gave to friends in need of financial assistance. The trouble
and anxiety which therefore ensued undoubtedly hastened his death, which
occurred in Louisville in July, 1846. He was for many years a leading
politician in Kentucky, was recognized as a brilliant lawyer and a just
and conscientious judge, and left the impress of his powerful mind on
the jurisprudence of the state.

Notes:

! THOMAS A. MARSHALL, LL.D., the second son of Humphrey Marshall, was
born in Woodford county, Kentucky, January 15, 1794, and died in
Louisville, April 17, 1871, but was buried in Lexington. In 1815 he was
graduated at Yale College and began the practice of law in Frankfort,
Kentucky. In 1819 he removed to Paris, Kentucky, where he soon won
renown by the masterful way in which he handled the legal business
entrusted to his care.

! In 1827 he was elected to represent Bourbon county in the Kentucky
house of representatives, and from 1831 until 1835 was a member of
congress from the Paris and Maysville district. As a boy he had spent
some time in Washington with his father, and one day had climbed to the
top of one of the pillars, where, in a childish hand he wrote his name,
saying, "I want to see if it will be here when I come to congress."
Thirty years afterward he occupied a seat in the council chambers of the
nation and in his wise support of certain legislative measures engraved
his name far more deeply on the annals of his country than he had on
that pillar in the capitol. In 1835 he removed to Lexington and in that
year was raised to the supreme bench of the state, where he remained for
twenty-one years. He served from 1835 to 1856 and again for a short
time

! in 1866, and from 1847 to 1851, from 1854 to 1856, and again in 1866
was the Chief Justice of Kentucky. After his removal to Lexington he was
made one of the professors in the Transylvania Law School, where he
served from 1836 to 1849. In 1857 he removed to Frankfort and in 1859
took up his residence in Louisville, where his remaining days were passed.
His last official act was his service as chief justice of Kentucky in
1866. He gave his time thereafter to his extensive law practice and was
the peer of any member of the Kentucky bar.

Notes:

! Maria married James Alexander Paxton on 5-2-1811. James died in 1825.
Their children are listed as Marshall, no indication why:
A. Marshall (male)
William M. Marshall, lawyer and businessman in Platte city, MO.
Mary Marshall, married Benjamin Haerbeson of PA
Phoebe A. Marshall, married Charles A. Marshall, son of Capt. Thomas
Marshall and Francis Kenman.

! At this point, checking out Phoebe's listed marriage, the Charles A. son
of Capt. Thomas Marshall and Francis Kenman married a Phoebe A.
Harbeson. I suspect the researcher, who I have met and respect, mixed up
two sources of her research. 1) Why are marie's children listed as
Marshall's and 2) the conflict as to which Phoebe married Charles A.
Marshall.
