Mary is thought to have been born in St Gennys around 1753 - 1755, the daughter of Peter and Joan Sharp and the granddaughter of Michael and Ruth Winter, but her baptismal record has not been found. She appears to be the last child to be born before her mother died in 1755 although she could possibly also have been the twin of her brother Michael.

Her father is thought to have died in Otterham in 1757 so she may have been orphaned as young as two. Nothing is known of her childhood. It is presumed that close relatives of her family will have brought her up and acted as her guardians.

Mary married Thomas Marshall of St Gennys in St Gennys Parish Church in April 1770. As she was under age, the marriage had to be approved by her guardians but they are not specifically named as such. The witnesses to the marriage are given as John Jewell and John Short. Her husband Thomas Marshall was a farmer aged about 26 and came from a family who had been long established in St Gennys. Thomas had been christened in September 1744, the son of Thomas Marshall and Alice Robins who had married in St Gennys church 2 years earlier. Thomas's father ran Pencuke Farm which was in the south east part of St Gennys parish and also had another property known variously as 'Ronks' or 'Hill'. Despite Mary being an orphan without any apparent property or wealth, she appears to have married into a comparatively well-off family.

Three children of the marriage have been found in the parish registers, all of whom were christened in St Gennys, the last in 1778, when Mary would have been of child bearing age for up to another 20 years. A fourth child, Roger, appears in the Bishop's Transcript of the St Gennys Parish Register but strangely not in the register itself, where the baptisms are not in a single contiguous section and there seems to be a gap from 1768 to 1771.

So far efforts to find the burial record for Thomas Marshall and to establish for certain a burial for his wife have been unsuccessful. If Thomas died around 1778, Mary may have remarried and been buried with a different surname. In 1785 a widow, Mary Marshall, married John Sandercock in St Gennys, who is subsequently referred to as a shoemaker of Pencuke. Although his wife was probably related to the Marshall family of Pencuke she appears a younger person than Mary Marshall nee Trease. Research into the family of Mary and Thomas is continuing.

son Roger was baptised in St Gennys on 1st July 1770. He married Penelope Fuge at Poundstock in 1797 and had three daughters, one of whom, Elizabeth, married George Saundercock junior of Poundstock in November 1819. The marriage was with the consent of the parents. Both George and Elizabeth appear under age. George was christened in February 1800 and was probably almost 20 and Elizabeth was christened in October 1801 so was probably 18. Strangely in the subsequent census returns Elizabeth consistently gives her age three years older than the baptismal record indicates. It may be that her baptism was delayed for some reason. The two witnesses to their wedding were Thomas Marshall and George Saundercock. The latter was almost certainly George's father and one of the parents giving his consent but who was Thomas Marshall? It could be that he was Elizabeth's grandfather but that seems unlikely. Could he have been a unknown brother to Roger? Penelope Marshall nee Fuge died in 1838 aged 74 and at the time was living in Wainhouse Corner Road, St Gennys. Her husband Roger was buried in St Gennys in January 1848 aged 77.
son William was baptised in St. Gennys on 3rd January 1773. Currently it is not known what became of him.
daughter Mary was baptised in St. Gennys on 25th May 1775. It is thought that she may possibly be the Mary Marshall who on the 15th May 1800 married John Saunders of Otterham in St Gennys church, but there is insufficient information available at present to affirm or deny this. The marriage was witnessed by Loveday Elson and William Bray. Only one child from their marriage has been found. She was christened Marianne Saunders in Otterham parish on the 17Sep1816. It is thought that John Saunders died in 1832 aged 61 and that he was buried in Otterham churchyard on the 28th July of that year. John had been a labourer and after his death Mary was left without an income. In 1841 she was recorded as a pauper living at Rock Head Otterham with her daughter Marianne who was working as a Dressmaker. On the 23rd July 1842 her daughter Marianne married James Moyse in Otterham and Mary went to live with her daughter and husband. Mary died in the winter of 1851.
daughter Loveday was baptised in St. Gennys on 10th August 1778. She and Roger are the two children about whose life we have some definite information. In 1823 she was bequeathed Ł20 in the Will of her Uncle Michael Trease of Clovelly. She never married and became a pauper living in St Gennys. In 1841 she was living with the family of Robert Saundercock in Tresparret Posts, St Gennys. 20 years earlier a Robert Sandercock of Egloskerry, possibly father of this Robert, had acted as surety for the wife of Thomas Trease, son of Loveday's uncle Michael, in the administration of her husband's estate. In 1786 Robert Sandercock, a widower of St Gennys, had married Grace Stacey, a widow, and in 1796 they baptised a son Benjamin. In 1851 Mary was living with Benjamin and his family in Tresparrett Lane and Benjamin's son William married Dorothy Gynn Trease in 1876. Loveday died in 1852 and was buried in St Gennys.

Thomas MARSHALL
The Marshall family were recorded in St Gennys in 1524. The main Marshall family appear to have lived at Pencuke, about 2 miles south-east of St Gennys Churchtown and there were other branches elsewhere in St Gennys.
The following appear to be his grandparents: -

c. 04Mar1718 St Gennys. Micarah MARSHALL son of Roger & Elizabeth (COD)
NOTE: Thomas & Mary name their first? son 'Roger'. His father Thomas in his Will mentions Micaah his brother. Although no baptismal record found it seems highly probable that Mary's husband Thomas is the grandson of Roger and Elizabeth who married at Otterham.

Data Index | Data Change History | Data Standards

Wife Mary TREASE
After Loveday was baptised in 1778, no further baptisms are found in St Gennys. Did either Thomas or Mary die without record in St Gennys. If Thomas died, Mary could have remarried. Certainly a widow Mary Marshall married John Sandercock in 1785 and had children until 1803 when Mary could have been no younger than 48 so pushing it for age. Details of this family appear in a tentative Sandercock tree which is appended to the family of William Sandercock and Dorothy Gynn Trease If she did not remarry, several deaths nearby are recorded:-
Option 1 - Mary Marshall of Penkuke d.1820 - can't be her

1823 i. 06Jul1823 Otterham. Mary Marshall age 70 of Warbstow - makes her born 1753 (COD)
NOTE: The age at death fits so this appears the most likely burial for her.

The circumstantial evidence of the marriage witnesses that Mary Marshall is the daughter of Thomas and Mary Marshall nee Trease and cousin of the Thomas Trease who married Mary Elson in 1806 seems strong.
The John Saunders of the marriage does not sign his own name so appears less educated than many yeoman farmers - this is compatible with him being a labourer but if they did marry in 1800 it is unusual for there to be only one child christened as late as 1816.

	NOTE: William Bray is a schoolmaster and in 1809 is joint administrator of the estate of John Broad husband of Ann Trease
	The circumstantial evidence of the marriage witnesses that Mary Marshall is the daughter of Thomas and Mary Marshall nee Trease and cousin of the Thomas Trease who married Mary Elson in 1806 seems strong. The John Saunders of the marriage does not sign his own name so appears less educated than many yeoman farmers - this is compatible with him being a labourer but if they did marry in 1800 it is unusual for there to be only one child christened as late as 1816.
