He married Dorinda J Davidson in 1861 and the couple, with their children, Warren, Austin & Theresa, moved back to Adair County in 1869 to settle permanently on a stock farm near Illinois Bend.  A few years after Dorinda’s death in 1893, Marsh married Mrs Mary Virden with whom he spent the rest of his life.
