Title	Humphrey Marshall.
Creator	Levin, H. (editor)
Contributors	Lewis Publishing Company (publisher)
Description	Humphrey Marshall was born in Fauquier County, Virginia, in 1760. A soldier in the Virginia Revolutionary forces, he later moved to Kentucky in 1782 where he was admitted to the bar in Fayette County. He was a member of Kentucky House of Representatives 1793-1794 and was elected as a Federalist to the United States Senate where he sat from 1795 to 1801. Marshall briefly returned to the Kentucky legislature, serving from 1807-1809, but his Federalist politics fell out of favor and he turned his attentions to literary pursuits. He was the author of the first history of Kentucky, published in 1812. He died near Lexington, Kentucky, in 1841, and was buried on his farm in Leestown, Kentucky.
