Born between 1790 and 1796, Marshall (one source refers to him as "Cumberland Marshall") Johnson was probably the son of David and Jane (Joice) Scaggs. Sarah "Sallie" Chapman, b. 1776, Giles Co., VA was his father's second wife. Marshall married Sarah E. Jennings.
Marshall was a prosperous farmer just north of Washington, Rappahannock Co., Virginia, whose property was at the foothills of the Blue Ridge.
"Mr. Marshall Johnson, a highly respected citizen of Rappahannock Co., Virginia, was accidentally shot about 3 weeks since. Being dressed in a thick coat, he was mistaken for a bear and fired upon by Mr. Madison Fletcher."
(Obituary from "The National Ingelligencer" newspaper, March 13, 1848)
Claude Nash in his book on the Nash family relates that descendant Alice Grady Mooring Powell told him that her grandfather was killed by a demented neighbor in a turkey blind, and that the death was in December and the court case was in January.
