Marshall Homesite 
The house where the Rev. A. Marshall lived stood here, purchased from his 
father's estate (County deed books Z.P. 449 & C.P. 102). Baptist 
Historian, David Benedict wrote; "I spend more time with him (Abraham 
Marshall) at his own home at Kiokee, in 1810, where his venerable father 
(Daniel Marshall) died." Site is part of original land grant to Daniel 
Marshall (Georgia plat book E.P. 269). Remaining timber of house was 
dismantled in 1981 after documentation. Daniel Marshall said to his wife 
shortly before death: "Go on my dear wife. To serve the lord, hold out to 
the end, eternal glory before us.
