Biographies of Scott County, 1888
John E. Marshall was born in Scott County, Mo., on March 21, 1854, and is a son of Samuel Marshall, a native of Kentucky. Samuel Marshall's father, James Marshall, was born in Kentucky, and immigrated to Scott County, Mo., about 1830. He entered land near Sikeston, upon which he located and resided until his death. Samuel Marshall came to Missouri with his parents, since which time he has been a resident of Scott County. He is a good citizen and a successful business man. He has been three times married. His first wife, Martha Turner, was a native of East Tennessee. Her family came to Scott County a little later than the Marshall family. The parents lived to be quite aged, and reared a large family of children, all of whom grew to maturity. Martha died on May 17, 1874. She was the mother of eight children, five of whom: John E., James, Charles, William and Benjamin F., are living. Those deceased are Mary J., Sarah F. and an infant unnamed. By his second marriage Mr. Marshall had three children: Isaac, Sterling and an infant (deceased). He also has three children by his third marriage: George W., Joseph and Cyrus. John E. Marshall remained on his father's farm until 1878, when he was married to Mary, a daughter of James and Aspiza (Vaughn) McMullen. He then located on his present beautiful farm near Sikeston. He owns 1,040 acres of land in Scott County, of which 600 acres are under cultivation, with good improvements. He has a fine residence, built in 1887. To Mr. Marshall and wife have been born seven children, five of whom: Lena S., Minnie J., Edward L., Mamie and Stella are living. Samuel A. and Robert are dead. Mr. Marshall is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
