  • Notes 
    • Jonathan was born in a long low house on the east side of the road on his father's farm in North Spencer, Massachusetts. He lived there with his parents for many years.

      After his father's death, Jonathan and his mother continued to live there until Jonathan built a new house on the west side of the road.

      Jonathan was a farmer.

      When Jonathan died, he left the house on Wire Hill Road to his son, Walter Marshall, and directed him to give each of his children a certain sum of money except Charles Henry, whom he omitted for some reason. When the will was read, Walter Marshall left out the exception, and paid him an equal share with the rest. Charles Henry never knew his father had intended to have him omitted.
