He was an original proprietor of Hartford,CT in 1636, and also lived in Hadley and Northampton,MA. Son of John Marsh and Grace (Baldwin) Marsh. [The American Genealogist Volume 58, in which it states the parentage is proven by the will of Grace (Baldwin) Marsh where she mentions her son John 'now in New England'.] His first wife was Anne Webster Marsh. His second wife was Hepzibah Ford Lyman Marsh, the widow of Richard Lyman Jr, and the daughter of Thomas Ford and Elizabeth Charde Ford. He had a brother Joseph Marsh of Braintree, Co.Essex, England whose 1676 will was contested and whose estate was distributed to John Marsh's children, and a sister Lydia Marsh Martin, whose daughter Grace he and his second wife adopted. - findagrave.com
The name of Marsh has been common in England ever since use of surnames. It is undoubtedly a place name. Families were numerous in counties Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent, York, and in Wiltshire and Ireland. Sir Thomas Marsh, who lived in 1660, bore these arms, which, with slight variations, were borne by many different families: Gules, a horse's head couped between three crosses bottonee fitchee argent. At least six immigrants of the name of Marsh came to New England.
(I) John Marsh, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England, in 1618, and is said to have come to New England in to Cambridge. He is supposed to have gone with Hooker's company the next year to Hartford, where he became one of the first settlers. He had grants of land for himself and for others in 1639-40. His home lot was No. 16, on the north side of the stream that now runs through Bushnell Park, where Temple and Front streets now cross. He had other grants later, and was a proprietor of the common lands. He was a leading citizen of Hartford, one of the five higher magistrates in 1639 holding office until 1655, when he became deputy governor. After serving as governor in 1656 he resumed the office of magistrate, which he held until 1659. He removed at this time to Hadley, Massachusetts. He was dismissed from the Hartford church July 11, 1656, on account of church differences. He had lot No. 34 in Hadley, and was one of the selectmen in 1675. He was one of the original members of the Northampton church June 18, 1661. His will was dated March 3. 1687-88, and proved December 4, 1688. He married (first) Anne, daughter of Governor John Webster and his wife Agnes. She died June 9, 1662, and he married (second), October 7, 1664, Hepsibah, widow of Richard Lyman, and daughter of Thomas Ford, of Hartford. John Marsh died September 28, 1688, at Windsor, Connecticut, probably while on a visit to his daughter, Hannah Loomis. - unknown
