    • ! Evidently Judge Marshall and his wife lived at what is known as the old
      Downey place, east of Frankfort, KY, where one of their children is buried.

      ! JOHN JAMES MARSHALL was born in Woodford county, Kentucky, on the
      4th of
      August, 1785, a son of Humphrey and Mary Marshall. He had rare
      advantages for securing an education and won first honors of his class in
      Princeton College, of New Jersey, where he was graduated in 1806. He
      then took up the study of law under the direction of his father and after
      careful preparation for the profession began practice, gaining a high
      reputation and a liberal patronage. Inheriting from his father a fortune
      of ample proportions, he nevertheless made for himself a career at the bar
      that classed him among the distinguished jurists of the state. Like
      the other members of his family, he too was called to public life by the vote
      of the people, and for many years served in the general assembly where his
      support to wise legislative measures made him a valued member of both
      the house and senate. He represented Franklin county in the legislature in
      1815 and 1816, and in 1820 was elected to the senate for
      a four-years term. From 1829 until 1833 he was reporter of the court of
      appeals and published seven volumes of decisions of cases of law and
      equity. in 1833 he served as elector, and the same year was once more
      elected representative from his district to the state legislature.
      In 1837 he was appointed by Governor James Clark judge of the
      circuit embracing Louisville, and removed to that city. He continued to
      occupy that office up to the date of his death.
      During the financial crisis which swept over the country in 1837 Mr.
      Marshall lost his property, this being occasioned by the generous support
      which he gave to friends in need of financial assistance. The trouble
      and anxiety which therefore ensued undoubtedly hastened his death, which
      occurred in Louisville in July, 1846. He was for many years a leading
      politician in Kentucky, was recognized as a brilliant lawyer and a just
      and conscientious judge, and left the impress of his powerful mind on
      the jurisprudence of the state.
