Listed at 19 as an apprentice carpenter. John Marshall, father, is a shoemaker, and lives with wife Eliza and four children, of which Joseph is the eldest. John Marshall was born in New York (contrary to 1850 census and 1880 census in which Joseph claims both parents were born in MD) and Eliza in Maryland. Her estate is valued at $2000 in land and $300 in personal estate.
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU (1870 Census Record, MD) Baltimore City, Ward 3, Sheet 353, Line 26-33 [ancestry.com]
Joseph Marshall's family still living in Baltimore City and father is a shoemaker. Mother now working with Dry Goods, perhaps to feed a fimaly that has grown to include six children still at home. Joseph is not living with his parents (he should be married with two children now), but his 21 year-old brother George lives at home and is a brick mason--following his brother into construction?
1870: Not living in Maryland? Should already be married with two children. Should be living in Anne Arundel County, Equity Case same year.
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU (1880 Census Record, MD) Annapolis Precinct 1, ED 27, Sheet 6, Line 46 [MSA SM61-291, M4730-2]
Living at 39 Hanover Street, Annapolis, and listed as Carpenter and Builder. Marshall and wife Mary A. have five children at this point: Mary E. John W., Clinton W., Annie B. and Joseph P. According to newspaper articles about his death, another will be born before his death in 1885.
1890 Census: no records?
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU (1900 Census Record, MD) Baltimore, Ward 18, ED 234, Sheet 146A, Line 8 [ancestry.com]
Mary A. Marshall now head of house with two single daughters, Annie B.(23) and Sophie S.(18). Now we know that Sophie was the daughter born in 1881, after the census. Mary is listed as having seven children, all living, but if the newspaper from Joseph's death is correct in stating he had six children, she must have been pregnant when he died since she did not remarry. Her mother, Mary J. Parks (76), is living with the family and they have a servant, Mary E. Larkins. They are still living on N. Gilmor Street, their residence in 1885.

Joseph M. Marshall died in a construction accdent while working on a public building in Jackson, Tennessee. Because of this there is not a Maryland Death Certificate.

The date of Mary S. Marshall's death--May 17, 1908-- matches the date of Mary A. Marshall's death recorded in her will papers. The "S" is then most likely a typo.
BALTIMORE CITY REGISTER OF WILLS (Wills, Original) Mary A. Marshall, 1908, Liber 73 E.S., No. 102, f. 494, Box No. 39 [MSA T628-101, 2/33/14/14]
When Joseph M. Marshall died in 1885 he left all of his estate to his wife Mary A. Marshall. Her will from 1908 described personal items (dishware, furniture, etc.) bequeathed to her children, a home at Lanvale and Appleton Streets, and a trust fund for her unmarried daughter. She also gives money to her two grandchildren, Mildred C. and Leroy Marshall, because their father, Charles Archibald Marshall had passed away. In no other records is there a Charles Archibald listed as a child of Joseph and Mary. The 1900 census did record Mary Marshall as having 7 surviving children, when the 1885 obituary of Joseph Marshall only indicated six children. If Mary Marshall was pregnant in 1885, then it might be possible that the baby were Charles Archibald. Another problem, Mary doesn't leave part of her estate to Joseph P. Marshall, a son we know about. Has he already died? This seems likely as Mary bequeaths to her daughter Sophia a picture of Joseph.
