Moving back a decade to the 1850 census, Christena is still listed in the household of her parents, but with only Mary (age 2) and Margaret E. (age 1 month). It is not clear why William T. is not listed with the family as a 6-year-old. Christena and her children had been absorbed into the household of her parents after the premature December 1849 death of her husband, Samuel Marshall.
Now, November 2017, I have been established as a strong DNA connection to a descendant of William T. Marshall, enabling me to establish him as a brother to my own ancestor, Mary Ellen Marshall.
