Hudson Snowden Marshall. United

States District Attorney for the southern district of New York, Hudson S. Mar- shall, is a descendant of an old Virginia fr.mily, which has many branches in the Old Dominion. Many of its descendants re- moved to Kentucky in the early settlement of that state. Among the most distin- guished representatives of this name was Chief Justice John Marshall, of John Adam's administration. Many branches of this family cannot be accurately traced, through the absence of vital or other records. The name seems to be of a common origin with ether families in this country, being traced to William Mareschall, who was of TVench origin and figured in the early history of England. The name was originally derived from an occupation or office, and has doubled in meaning in a peculiar fashion. An ancient authority says that Mares-Chal applies either to the marshal of a kingdom 01 camp, and also to a farrier or one v\'ho cares for horses. The latter meaning grew in dignity until applied to a master of cavalry: hence, under the ancient regime, we had the grand marshals of France, governors of provinces, as well as the Earl-Marshal of England and Lord Marischal of Scotland. The earl of Pembroke is of the Marshall family of England, and few names are more generally scattered through the kingdom or n'ore numerous. There are no less than six- ty-seven coats-of-arms of the Marshall fam- ily in Burke"s General Armory. The more distinguished branches of the family are scattered through the counties of Berks, Derby, Devon. Durham. Huntington, Es- sex. Hants, Lincoln, Middlesex, Notting- ham, York. Northumberland and Surrey; also in Ireland. The coat-of-arms in general use (that ilk) is: Argent, a bishop's pall, sable, between three dock leaves, vert.

Captain John Marshall, who was born and reared in Ireland, commanded at the battle of Edgehill, during the reign of Charles I. He was an ardent Episcopalian, and upon the accession of Cromwell removed to America, about 1650. and settled at James- town, later removing to Westmoreland county. Virginia. He was distinguished in the Indian wars. His son, Thomas Mar- shall, born about 1655. was a farmer in Washington parish, of that county, a promi- nent Episcopalian, and died in May. 1704. His wife's name was Martha, and their son,
