    • (1) SUSANNA SKELTON IS THE 2ND WIFE OF JOHN MARSH OF SALEM, MA, MARRYI N G HIM IN ABOUT 1646. THEY ARE THE PARENTS OF 8 CHILDREN. VIEW BIOGRAP HI CAL ITEMS ATTACHED AS STORIES (MEMORIES) TO THIS RECORD (KN7S-K18)

      Robert Charles Anderson, in his biographical sketch about this Jo h n Marsh in the outstanding historical series, "The Great Migration... " (S ee Source attached to this record for publication data), indicates t hat t he origin [birth, christening & parent data] of this John Marsh i s unknow n. Do not confuse this John Marsh of Salem, MA with contempo rary Joh n Marsh who settled in Hartford, CT and is believed to be the on e born i n Braintree, Essex, England. The John Marsh of Hartford, CT ha d a brothe r, Joseph, who was a clothier in Braintree, Essex, England, wh ere he mad e his will, on 22 May 1676, in which he mentions several of th e childre n of that John Marsh of Hartford, CT.
      Anderson suggests that this John Marsh was born by 1612, based up o n estimated date of marriage. He immigrated from England to New Engla n d on the ship "Mary and John," which sailed on 24 March 1633/1634, hav in g enrolled at Southampton as a passenger. There is some indications th a t he may have taken an oath of allegiance to the crown just prior to le av ing England.
      His first residence in New England was at Salem, Massachusetts Bay C o lony. In the 1636 division of land at Salem, he received 20 acres. Su bs equently he was granted half an acre for a household of three in the D ece mber 1636 distribution and an additional ten acres in the January 163 8/16 39 distribution.
      The occupation of John Marsh was being a cordwainer (a shoemaker o r c obbler). His inventory when he died included shoemaking tools. O n 10 N ov 1655 he was appointed a Salem sealer of leather. That he had so me educ ation is indicated by his signing of documents and having books i n his in ventory. Apparently he was appointed the Constable in Salem i n 1657.
      John Marsh may not have been a member of the church in Salem initial l y, as he was admitted to the church on 12 May 1639. He was made a Free ma n, which implied church membership, on 26 Feb 1649/1650.
      There is no record of the name of the first wife of John Marsh, wh o h e probably married in about 1636. Apparently she died sometime afte r th e birth of daughter Ruth in 1641 and prior to his remarriage in abou t 164 5.
      The second wife of John Marsh was Susanna Skelton, who he had marri e d by 1646. . Susanna was a daughter of Samuel Skelton and Susanna Trav is , who arrived in Salem in 1629 where Samuel Skelton was chosen the min ist er when the first church in the Massachusetts Bay Colony was organize d o n 20 July 1629. Susanna was baptized (christened) in Tattershall, Li ncol nshire, England. After the death of John Marsh, she was remarried t o Tho mas Rix by 1685.
