Marshall, Edward Carrington, son of Chief Justice John Marshall, was born at
Richmond, Virginia, January 13, 1805. He graduated at Harvard College in 1826
and settled at Carrington, Fauquier county, Virginia, and engaged in
agriculture. He represented Fauquier county in the Virginia legislature for four
successive terms, from 1834 to 1838. He was the main instrument in the
establishment of the Manassas Gap Railroad Company and was its president. Though
he strongly sympathized with the South in the war in 1861-65, he was too old to
give it his personal aid and held a place in the pension office in Washington
during the war. He was fond of the classics and of science. He died at Innis,
Fauquier county, Virginia, February 8, 1882. He married, February 12, 1829,
Rebecca Courtney Peyton.
