William B Marrs (1770 - 1844)


Born: 13 October 1770 in Rockbridge County, Virginia
Died: 12 March 1844 in Shelby County, Ohio. (Age 73)


Believed to be a blacksmith
He appears to have moved to Jessimine County with his brothers Christopher, John and James in 1793 before getting married the next year in nearby Bourbon County. My records are not accurate here, but it seems by 1809, the family had moved to Shelby County, Ohio (James born in that year in that county).
