  Whites Cemetery, Bayside, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada; MEMORIAL ID: 172805996; Note: By the time the American Revolution broke out, Matthias Marsh UE was residing with his parents in Manchester, a town in the future Vermont. His parents were William Marsh 1738-1816 and Sarah French 1741-1820. William began the War as an officer in the Green Mountain Boys hence the designation "Colonel" which stuck with him. In 1777 William switched to the British and for the duration of the War and indeed afterwards he worked in the Secret Service and was back and forth between Vermont and Quebec a number of times. Matthias was born in 1763 so still quite young when the War began. He never joined a Loyalist Corps, and he remained in the Manchester area during the War. Why then was he retained on The Executive Council List and not expunged as so many sons of Loyalists were? The picture that is emerging is that he was involved on site with the Secret Service work for his father and would have been well placed to know many of the key players such as the Allens. Matthias married Sarah Richardson in Manchester in 1783. Sarah was the daughter of Nathan Richardson a Rebel originally from Connecticut. Before 1790 Matthias and Sarah were in the Bay of Quinte area, and Sarah is supposed to have drowned in the Trent River in 1810. While not a lot is known about her, Matthias's second wife was reportedly a Mrs. Dickson. Matthias resided in Sidney Township, Hastings County. In 1801 he proposed the first bridge over the Trent River, but it was left to the next generation to complete the project. Matthias was dead by 1829 and he is likely buried in Whites Cemetery just east of Trenton. Matthias's most famous descendant is the Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson.

  "On my father’s side our first progenitor in America, William Marsh, came from Kent County, England, during the civil war. His father or brother (one of the genealogies say father or brother the other says) Captain James Marsh was in King Charles’ army and was killed in the battle of Edgehill. The son or brother became involved in the struggle and his two aunts fearing for his safety, Cromwell becoming victorious, prevailed on him to go to America. He was about eighteen years old at that time. He settled in Connecticut." per "Recollections 1837-1910 By C. W. Marsh - Autobiography", part of Jean Anderson's Papers in my possession.
