Commissioned as a brigadier general in the Confederate Army. Major campaigns and battles include several skirmishes along the Kentucky-West Virginia border. Resigned his commission in June 1863 to take part in Confederate politics. After the war, Marshall returned to Kentucky to practice law. He died in Frankfort, Kentucky, in March 1872 and is buried there. Sources: Boatner, Mark M. The Civil War Dictionary. New York: Vintage Books, 1988. Davis, William C., ed. The Confederate General.
