Thomas George Marshall died in Linton, Herfordshire, England July 10, 1853 as a result of injesting poison. Not long ago, my husband and I traveled to Franklin County, Idaho to search out places of particular family interest. While visiting the Franklin Cemetery where Sarah is buried, I met with descendants of George Thomas Marshall, the only son of Sarah and Thomas, who is also buried in the Franklin Cemetery. These family members have in their possession the death certificates of both Sarah and Thomas Marshall. The death certificate of Thomas states the cause of death to be poison.

Following the death of Thomas, Sarah deterimined to come to Utah to be with "the saints" and a younger sister Patience who had already made the journey. Sarah worked for 2 years to earn enough to pay for herself, and her six small children to make this tremendous journey. Making the trip with Sarah and the children was a much younger sister, Mariah or Maria.

The children were from 12 years of age to 2 years.

George Thomas 4

After arriving in Utah, Sarah met and married Joseph Chadwick in 1857. Though this did not seem to be a particularly happy marriage for Sarah, 2 more sons were born.
William Joseph born 6 Oct 1857 and Charles Frederick Chadwick born 6 Aug 1869. William Joseph Chadwick is buried near his mother, Sarah.

Jean, are you a descendant of John Herbert and Patience Goode? I am a descendant of Dauean Louisa Marahall Boice. I hope this answers the questions you had regarding Thomas and Sarah Marshall.
