Her name may be Dorcas Barney Marsh. Information is available for other members of the Marsh family, but I have found no source for her name.
DIED,
At the house of Mr. David Sills, in Nash county, on the 25th ult. Mrs. MARSH, wife of Daniel G. Marsh, Esq. merchant of Washington, N. C. She called at Mr. Sills on her way from the Shocco Springs. She had for sometime been laboring under a lingering complaint, but was thought to be recovering—Went to bed, about midnight became dangerously ill, and expired in a few moments.
—The Minerva newspaper (Raleigh, North Carolina), Thursday, October 13, 1808, p. 3.
NOTE: Unknown where she is buried, although she died at the home of David Sills.
"Just north of Castalia, David Sills ran a stagecoach inn at his Belford plantation. His home of 14 rooms was spacious enough to accommodate even the busiest of stagecoach lines."

Sons of Daniel and Susannah Wilkinson Marsh, Daniel Gould Marsh was born on July 20, 1769, and Jonathan Marsh was born in Providence, Rhode Island on April 7, 1760. Brothers Daniel and Jonathan moved from Rhode Island to North Carolina, where both men were prominent merchants and shippers. Daniel Gould Marsh purchased property in Washington for a residence in 1795, and by 1802 his brother Jonathan acquired what is now known as the Palmer-Marsh House in Bath, North Carolina. Daniel's Marsh House stayed in the family until 1941. With the help of another brother, David Wilkinson Marsh (born 1765), the Palmer-Marsh house belonged in Jonathan's Marsh family for over 100 years, until 1915, and is now a National Historic Landmark.
Jonathan had married Ann Bonner in 1795, and the couple had 7 children, all born in the Palmer-Marsh house. Within a 3-month span in 1811, Jonathan and 2 of the children died, and were buried in a cemetery near their house.
