This is a picture of my Great Great grandparents Peter Marshall and Sarah Elizabeth Lagenour. They are the parents of Nettie and Susie Marshall who married the brothers Clarence J. and Milus R. Miller. The Marshall's son-in-law, Milus and daughter Susie, moved to Mattoon Illinois and raised their family.
Peter and Sarah's son Hershel, their daughter Nettie, and her husband Clarence Miller, stayed in Washington County. The Marshall homestead was located near where the Vinetree Farms Winery is now. The land was inherited by Sarah when she took care of an old man in the area until his death.
Peter and Sarah were both born in Indiana in 1851. They had 11 children, but only 10 survived. They got married in 1875 and began having children: Anna (Susie), Nora, William, Cyrus, Nettie, Delbert, Ada, Asa, Daniel and Peter (Hershel).
This information is the research of many people across the United States and may contain errors. It is presented as the best information to date. Like all of those whose work I have incorporated herein, my research is a work in progress and subject to change without notice. A special thanks to Marlene Ricci of CA, Dwayne Meyer of CA, Jacqueline Bean of TX, Debbie Dick of IN, Milus Miller of IL, Carol Hendricks Miller of IN, Clarence Miller of IN, and Harold Glen Miller of IN. There are numerous others too; many of which are unknown, but their findings and stories are still much appreciated. Much of this would not have been possible with out their information. Also this website includes historical facts gathered from Washington County History, Indiana History, Rowan County and Salisbury North Carolina Historical sources and other US Historical sources.
