Marshburn Information

I have a photo of Andrew A. Marshburn's gravestone that I can send to you if you would like. He and Nancy are buried in the Marshburn Cemetery, Half Moo area, just past Bryan Road on the right. The pavement ends and the unkept cemetery is to the right in a grove of trees. Directions from Jacksonville, Highway #17 - turn left onto Gun Branch Road off of Highway #17, go past Bryan Road approx. 1 1/2 mo. turn right onto Timothy Road. The cemetery is back of the Bible Baptist Church locataed at the end of the road on the right.

Nancy, his wife is buried there as well, but there is no stone. I talked with Letha Marshburn a couple of years before she died and she was married to Andrew A. Marshburn who was Benjamin William Marshburn's son. She told me that both were buried there as well as her stillborn child that was buried in between their graves.

I have quite a bit of information on the Marshburn line down from Andrew A. and Nancy Marshburn. My line is Wiliam Benjamin Marshburn and Julia McGowan through their daughter Molly Marshburn. There are a multitude of Marshburns in that area!

Let me know how much info you would like.

Jared, Letha Marshburn was the wife of Andrew A. Marshburn who was the son of William Benjamin Marshburn and Julia McGowan. "Buddy" as he was called was the youngest of all of the Wm.Benj/Julia McGowan Marshburn children. Wm. Benjamin named him after his father the first Andrew A. Marshburn. Also Buddy and Letha had a stillborn child that was also named Andrew A. Marshburn. The baby is the one that is buried between Andrew A. and Nancy Southerland. This information about the first Andrew A. Marshburn and Nancy Southerland Marshburn and the baby being buried between then was told to me personally by Letha. She died about a year after I visited with her. So glad that I went up there to find out where the graves were located and exactly who was there from the family.

Jared, in checking my Marshburn file I found some information from Fred Hintz, Richlands, NC. Fred is dead now and I can’t verify this information, but he has James C. Marshburn as the father of Andrew A. Marshburn. I have not checked on this at all, so if you do and find some confirmation please let me know. He did not have anything else other than James C. as his father.
