Maj Francis Milbourne Marsh: An Overview

We know of Francis from the following sources:
1. "History of the Ancient Family of Marsh" by Joseph J. Green, Archivist and Genealogist, 1903, revised to date by Wm. Ernest Marsh, of Marston, Bromley, Kent, 1912.
2. His will which is held in the Public Record Office in Kew (Prob 11/1095).

Possibly of 90th Regiment of Foot.

Francis in his will mentions many of his relations including his uncle George Marsh who together with James Morrison are the executors.  He mentions his Aunt Mary Duval the mother in law of James Morrison.  He also mentions Elanor Meyers the daughter or reputed daughter of Isaac Meyers (formally Sergent in the 60th Regiment of Foot and late of the Victualling Office at Chatham) by his wife Hannah.  He mentions his sister Elizabeth Crisp and his niece Elizabeth Mary Crisp.  The will was written 12 September 1782 and witnessed by his cousin William Marsh.  It was proved 30 September 1782.

In the copy of his will his middle name Milbourne is spelt "Milbourn".  George Marsh in his diary written in the late 1700s spells the family name as "Milbourne".
