The Carroll County Times, Carrollton, Ga. February 9, 1877
Mrs. Mary A. Marshal, who recently died in Savannah, was a notable old lady.  
She was well up in the nineties at the time of her death, and had at that 
advanced age more business capacity than is generally allotted to woman.  She 
was in her time the reigning belle of Savannah society, and as a child, sat 
upon the knee of Gen. Washington, when he visited Savannah.  She owned more 
valuable real estate than any other person in Georgia, and now dies leaving a 
very large estate to a grand-daughter by adoption.  She was of the few persons 
in Savannah who believed in real estate investments, and many of the finest 
houses in the city belong to her estate.  She alwasy managed her own property 
and collected her own rents.
