Another source has Jacob's birth date as October 19, 1733 but 8/19/1733 may be more reliable.
It appears that Jacob Marsh moved from CT to New York Province shortly after he married. It is said that his first child was born in Saratoga District, NY, in 1756 and his family may have lived there until Abt. 1764.
Jacob Marsh was in the Shaftsbury, VT, area from about 1764 -1769 and was probably leasing land in the Shaftsbury Patent, living on Ebenezer Cole's tract of land. In historical accounts, he is listed as one of Shaftsbury's first residents. At this time, the state of Vermont did not exist and Shaftsbury was called Queensbury, in Albany Co., NY Province prior to 1765. Jacob and friends and relatives built homes in Durham/Clarendon, VT, in the spring of 1769, and they moved their families there the following year. It is believed that Jacob lived at Clarendon, VT, most of the time from 1770 through 1777 when he was killed in the war. He may have moved his family back to Saratoga, however, prior to the Rev. War breaking out.
In the early 1770's, the extremely large county of Albany was cut down in size, creating the new county of Charlotte. Jacob Marsh was made Magistrate of the newly formed Charlotte County by the governor of NY (Gov. Tryon?). It was Gov. Dunmore of NY who granted Socialboro (4/3/1771) which included the northern part of Clarendon, Rutland & Pittsford; and later, Gov. Tryon issued the patent of Durham on 1/7/1772 which included the rest of present-day Clarendon. Charlotte County included a large area which today makes up the counties of Essex, Clinton, Warren & Washington Counties and included western VT with the Green Mts. forming its eastern border. The northern border went as far north as Canada. Needless to say, Charlotte County no longer exists today.
There is a deed that shows that Jacob Marsh purchased land in Durham, Albany, NY, in 1768. In the spring of 1769, brothers, Jacob & Amos Marsh, and their nephews, William and Daniel Marsh, came to Clarendon, VT. which was then called "Durham" in Albany County, NY Province (1760-1772). Wm. and Daniel were brothers, whose parents were probably Rev. William & Eunice Marsh (William was a brother to Amos & Jacob and was killed by Indians earlier near Wilkes-Barr in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania). The Marsh men and two others had left their families at their former homes and labored here (Durham, now Clarendon, VT) the first season, clearing land and building houses on their lots. These plots of land were said to be along the east side of Otter Creek and were probably 100 acres each. With them they had brought a cow and what breadstuff that they could. They depended upon fish from Otter Creek and game. They worked together, building five log houses and cleared a piece of land near each for crops the following season. In the Fall, they all returned to their former homes with five returning with their families and household effects the next spring.
The state of Vermont did not exist until after the Rev. War ended and portions of this area were claimed by NY and New Hampshire. In 1772 the Patent of Socialborough came into being which included Rutland, Pittsford and 6 northern lots of Clarendon where the Marshes lived. In this year, Jacob again had to rebuy the 600 acres where the party of six families had settled in 1769. Jacob occupied what was known as the Strong farm near Clarendon. Brother, Amos, and nephew, Daniel, also bought and settled on a portion of this original 600-acre purchase. So after 1772, the area where the Marshes lived was Socialborough, Charlotte County, NY Province but following the war, it was called Clarendon, Rutland, VT.
At this same time (1772), according to Leslie Potter, a researcher of the Patent of Saratoga, Saratoga District, Albany Co., NY, Jacob also either owned or leased land in this district. It is believed that he and family lived in the Saratoga District as early as 1756. He perhaps continued to own this land but lived in Shaftsbury, VT, for a while. His land in the Saratoga Patent was confiscated in 1783 after his death because of his stand as a Loyalist. One of Jacob's sons-in-law, John Newel, also held a lease in the Saratoga Patent. Jacob's first cousin, Hannah & George Palmer, purchased 505 acres in the Saratoga Patent between 1764-1773. George was a miller and an influential citizen. It seems that most men could only lease land in those days, but the wealthy or those associated with the King of England could buy. The Marshes appear to be this latter category. Saratoga District abutted Charlotte County to its north and east when it was created in 1772. By state legislation, action was taken in 1788 to dissolve the districts in NY.
In 1773, a small army of Green Mt. boys centered their attack against Jacob Marsh, accosting him at gunpoint as he was on his way home from NY City to his home at Durham (Clarendon). He was taken prisoner and tried at the public house kept by Abel Hawley in Charlotte Co. The band of about 30 men assembled and alleged that they had heavy crimes against the defendant. He was accused of purchasing land for personal gain, using his influence as "Magistrate", which had been given him by the Governor of NY. He was accused of discouraging settlers from settling in this area derived by the New Hampshire Grants and having taken the position of "Justice of the Peace" so that he might have control over the issue of land settlement. Remember Baker, one of his judges, also charged Jacob of coming against him for damning the governor of NY and for his swearing and blasphemy. This judge, also, accused Marsh of continuing to act as "magistrate" in spite of his warnings forbidding him to act in this office. Baker wanted Marsh whipped for these offenses.
The orders handed down to Jacob was that he no longer was to act as magistrate, that he could not encourage settlement derived under the government of NY, but that he was to discourage such settlement. He was also ordered not to discourage settlement from grants derived from the government of NH. These judges also stated that he could no longer act as Justice of the Peace under the government of NY or his house would be burned and reduced to ashes, and that they would do him bodily harm at their pleasure.
When Jacob arrived home after his ordeal at Arlington, VT, he found the roof removed from his house by members of this same band of rebels, which they probably would have burned if it had not been for his friends who intervened. This mob also did other destructive work to his property and stole several bushels of corn.
By 1774-75, there was a fever of discord, dividing neighbors and friends, over the cause of liberty. Tensions kept mounting and by 1777, General Burgoyne had orders to come down from Quebec and Montreal, through Lake Champlain to take Albany, NY. Jacob Marsh was a Tory or Loyalist who now joined Burgoyne's forces. He was killed at Stillwater, Saratoga Co. in October, 1777 (Battle of Saratoga) at 43 yrs. of age. The British general, Burgoyne, was soundly defeated at this battle surrendering his army of 5000 men and all their equipment & supplies. There were over 1,000 British or Loyalists who lost their lives here. Taking a stand for the British cost Jacob much, losing his property, which was considerable, as well as his life!
Everything on the Marsh farm was taken by the British Army to be used for the purpose of war, including horses, wagons, oxen and cart to carry British supplies.
The Marsh family fled before the army, escaping into an empty barn, flattening themselves on its floor while it was riddled with shots. Miraculously, the family was unhurt except for Widow Marsh's son-in-law, John Newel, who was mortally wounded.
The very next day, Lydia Marsh was on her hands and knees, climbing over dead bodies as she was seeking out the wounded from the prior day's battle. She had once moved in respectable circles, and now she and her family were reduced to the deepest shades of poverty and suffering.
After the war (1783), the U.S. government confiscated the Marsh property. This family continued to consider themselves British subjects even after the war ended. Jacob's eldest son, William, now 16 or 17 yrs. of age, with his mother and siblings left this hostile area, moving them to Caldwell's Manor, Canada East (Quebec), Canada.
It was while in Canada East (Quebec) that William later had a conversion experience, going on to be a highly loved and respected Baptist preacher for the remaining 50 yrs. of his life. His son, Israel, continued in his father's footsteps as a preacher in the Whitby, Ontario area and later at churches in the Dorchester, Middlesex County, Ont. area.
