14, 1843, of the Greenwich Methodist
Episcopal Church. He was active in
church work until the end of his life. He
removed to Port Chester, and there engaged
in the shoe business with his son-
in-law, under the firm name of Marshall
& Betts. He married (first), October 22,

(see Hoyt line).
(IV) Joseph Hoyt Marshall, son of
Gilbert (2) and Deborah Bouton (Hoyt)
Marshall, was born in Greenwich, Con-
necticut, February 6, 1839. He was educated
in the public schools of Greenwich,
and on completing his courses there entered
a dry goods store as a clerk. For
several years he was thus occupied, but
an opportunity presenting itself to pur-
chase a bakery Mr. Marshall took advan-
tage of it, conducting it very profitably in
partnership with his brother, Stephen
Marshall, for several years. About 1870
Mr. Marshall accepted a position as bookkeeper
with Russell, Burdsall & Ward,
manufacturers of nuts, bolts, etc., of
Greenwich. He later became paymaster,
which position he now holds. He has
been associated with this company for
almost half a century, and is one of their
valued and trusted employees.
Mr. Marshall married, September 10,
i860, Mary Louise Marshall, daughter of
John Ennis and Susan Morgan (Covert)
Marshall, who was born at West Farms,
New York, May 12, 1841 (see Marshall

(V) Alfred W. W. Marshall, son of Joseph
Hoyt and Mary Louise (Marshall)
Marshall, was educated in the public
schools of Port Chester, New York. In
1890 he entered the First National Bank
of that city as a messenger, remaining
in the employ of this institution for six-
teen years, rising through the various
grades until he was made teller. He held
that position until 1906, and in the latter
year resigned to accept the position of
secretary of the Greenwich Trust Com-
pany, which office he still holds. Later,
Mr. Marshall was made vice-president of
this institution, and he is discharging the
duties incumbent on these two offices in
a most commendable manner. Through-
out the early years of his bank service he
was always alert to learn every detail of
the business, and retained his knowledge.
As time went on and positions entailing
ri3
greater responsibilities were offered him,
he was able to accept them and fill them
creditably.
In the public life of his community, Mr.
Marshall has ever been interested. He is
a member of the Republican party, and
has several times been honored with po-
litical office. For two terms he served as
clerk of the town of Rye. During the
World War, 1917-18, when men of ex-
ecutive ability and keen minds were in
such demand, Mr. Marshall freely gave
of his experience and time in the Liberty
Loan work. He served as chairman of
four of the five drives, which in itself is
sufficient warrant of his ability. He was
also actively identified with many other
phases of the war work.
Socially, Mr. Marshall is a member of
Mamaro Lodge, No. 653, Free and Accepted
Masons, of Port Chester, New
York, of which he is past master ; is a
