"Samuel Marsh, Sr., built a house about 1727 opposite the grist mill built by his uncle John in 1682-4 and lived in it until he died, when his youngest son Samuel, 2nd, occupied it until his death in 1829. This house, which is still standing, is located at what is now the corner of Main Street and Elm Ave. in Rahway, N.J. The house is a one story building with a double pitched roof enclosed with shingles and is one of the oldest houses in Rahway. The particular location has been known as Lower Rahway and previously as Ash Swamp and was at this early time in Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County, now Union County, New Jersey. On December 11, 1739, William Donaldson deeded to Samuel Marsh three and one quarter acres and one half of the mills originally set up by his uncle.
"We find Samuel Marsh one of the signers of a petition dated February 8, 1739/40, praying Governor Morris to procure from his Majesty, George II, a charter for the incorporation of the borough of Elizabeth, New Jersey. "Samuel and Mary Marsh and family and Samuel's brother Joseph and his family were Quakers of considerable standing. Samuel's brothers Charles and Elias Marsh were members of the Church of England. Samuel seems to have been the first of several generations of Quaker Marshes. From the records of the Friends' Plainfield and Rahway Monthly Meeting we find (several references):" He was part of a 3-man committee appointed to promote subscriptions to enlarge the Woodbridge Friends' Meeting House in 1750-1. He was on a committee that recommended the continuation of a prohibition against marrying a deceased wife's cousin in 1755. He and three Shotwell men were among those responsible for purchasing a lot of land in Rahway and building a new Meeting House on it in 1757. He was appointed treasurer of the Woodbridge Monthly Meeting in 1759. The Woodbridge Meeting House aged and was eventually demolished. Around 1784 the lots and the Friend's cemetery were transferred to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
