Marshall - Extended Family

Obediah Thomas Marshall
 (Dec 30, 1799 in PA - 1878 in Scott Co., KY) - Tree 1, Tree 2
Son of Unknown Marshall and Unknown Skeen
Married Lizzie Arnetta Robertson (1812 in KY - 1880)

I have 11 DNA matches from this family.
This cluster connects to many of my earliest Marshall ancestors
along with the maternal Skeen branch and "Arnold" cluster, and
he has been proven by autosomal DNA to be a brother to
William John Marshall, John Cornelius Marshall
and Thomas Marshall

Note: Parents for Obediah have shown up in a few trees
as "Edmond McGregor Thomas Marshall" and "Katherine O'Niel"
without sources.  The correct maternal branch based on autosomal
data would have been through the Skeen/Lamar branch.

If you descend from Obediah and are a male with the surname "Marshall",
I'm looking for someone willing to take the yDNA test as an
additional confirmation to connect him with the other brothers.
Please contact me (todmar2@bellsouth.net) if interested.
I will pay for your testing.
