Captain John Marshall Sr & Elizabeth Susannah Marshall Westray Family

Captain John Marshall Sr
Captain John was born in Isle Of Wight, Hampshire Co., England.

Birth Notes
- This birth year 1596 does not seem right and I found this "range" listed elsewhere. You have to look at the age of the person and what was going on in the colony and England to see how it fits pretty good.
  
  I am changing it to this "range" til I find out more
  
  and some say
  1596 ?? Ballymocadamcast, Kerry, Ireland

  Note: evidence does not support this
  
  The John Marshall who purchased land from John Valentine was supposedly in 1638. This means this is a different John or he was here earlier than 1650. That conflicts with the Cavalier info.
  
  This is wrong or there is another generation in here somewhere
  There may be confusion between this John and his son. His son
  may be the one who signed the Bacon papers.
  on that paper there is firstly
  John Marshall
  then on another page is John ‎‎‎‎‎‎(I)‎‎‎‎‎‎ Marshall
  I think the ‎‎‎‎‎‎(I)‎‎‎‎‎‎ is Capt John and the first is his son but this is just my speculation. It could be that I is his mark for his name. Not sure.
  
  Looking at what I have found, John could have been married to Scowne in England had 2 kids then "divorced" or something and then had kids with Jane. Then came to the colony and had more kids, met up with friends like Westray who was married to his ex wife. ‎‎‎‎‎("they were trying to start their own 'whatever'" as a book specs)‎‎‎‎‎
  William gets killed and John takes in his family as they did in those days. ‎‎‎‎‎(speculating)‎‎‎‎‎
  Not sure if Westray is the one mentioned in the Bacon papers.

  people in "VA" became OH/PA/NC/SC, etc. when the territories were
  formed so they did not necessarily move.
  
  Arriving in 1619 with 100 settlers, they settled near the mouth of the creek on the south side of the James River, still known as Lawne's Creek, which, in 1642 made the dividing line between this county and Surry Co. The area was known as Lawne's Plantation. In 1625, the area was renamed to Wight Plantation, still a part of the Worrosquoyacke settlement. Many of the first settlers were of cavalier origin.
  1240 in 1622 ...not many people. still can't find a John yet
  
  At midday on Good Friday, March 22, 1622 there were 1240 inhabitants in the State of Virginia. Of these, 347 would be killed by the Indians in the 80 settlements north and south sides of the James River, of which 53 were residents of the colony of the Worrosquoyacke. The Worrosquoyacke Indians were part of the attack on the setllement. In February 1623-24, a census records that there were 53 persons at "Worwicke-Sqeak" and "Basse's Choice", 23 having died since the April before.
