Co., Baltimore, 1969) Pages 406-409 John Marsh a Friend, of Armagh, County Armagh, Ireland, was residing in that town as early as 1664. He was staunch and true to his Quaker principles. . . At the time of the making of his will John Marsh was "Sick in body" and probably died about that time, in 1688, leaving Dorothy, his wife, to survive him.
