In the Biography from History of Clay Co., Indiana, Vol. II,
au: William Travis, publ. 1909
There is a biography on NELSON WEBSTER MARSHALL
In this biogrophy it makes mention of : Mary Ellen,who married Thomas J. Crist, died in
1901, leaving four children, Bulus Fay, Thalus Jennings, Nova Zembla, and Naomi.
Does anyone have any idea who Mary Ellen Marshall's parents were?
The biogrophy would leave you to believe that Mary Ellen was a child of Ivan Riggs
Marshall, but this could not be. The tombstone in Friendy Grove Cemetery list the
following info:
Mary E. Marshall wife of Thomas J. Crist. She born December 8,1866-- Died November
6,1901.
She would be too old to be a child of Ivan Riggs.
Any help would be apprecitated.
