Any information on Orange Lawrence and his family. Orange was born in Canaan, CT and moved to New York State when he was an infant.

Names being researched: MARSHALL
Time period: 1845- ?
Ancestor Robert Charles Marshall, born Ireland 8 Jul 1843, came to Canada with parents at abt 2 yrs of age. ON 16 Oct 1864 (might be 1862) married Mary Ann RISEBROUGH of Markham Township, York co born 29 Sept 1844. Settled in Oxford County before 1873, probably in 1860's. Raised large family (16 children). Mary Ann died 1912, Robert Chrles in 1917. Robert Charles obituary and death registration indicate only "born Ireland", no parents named. Mary Ann's death registration shows "born Canada" and names parents as Robert Risebrough, born England, and Mary H*****k, born York County. Her obituary states she was born in the county of Markham and was married to Marshall of Orangeville. NOTE: this is the only indication we have of where his family may have been in Canada before he came to Oxford county. We are seeking any and all leads as to family of Robert Charles MARSHALL and Mary Ann RISEBROUGH.
