In order to maintain a running chronology of the family, no sources are referenced. However, all sources are documented and sources may be obtained from B. D. Marshburn, 36 Molly Stark Drive, Morriston, New Jersey. The Census of 1790 is not included because of its easy accessibility, in addition to the widespread Mashburn-Marshburn Family throughout North Carolina as of 1790. Records of the Census of1790 in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Maine have been consulted and do not contain any Marshburn-Mashburn references; nor do those of Virginia and S. Carolina.
