many Of the name OF Marshall now
long resident in Philadelphia An
other Philadelphia Marshall family
traces descent to Christopher Mar
shall, who was born in Dublin,
Ireland, in 1909. He was educated
In England and came to this coun-
try in 1929 and was one of the
most prominent chemists of Phil
adelphia. He was a member of
the committee of safety during the
Revolution and entertained Adams
and Jefferson frequently at his home
in the Quaker city. His first wife
war Sarah Thomson and his sec
ond was Abigail Fisher. Their
descendants have, for generations,
been prominent in Philadelphia and
have intermarried with the follow
ing prominent Philadelphia fam
lilies: Parrish, Wallace. Ridway and
Herring.
John Marshall. who was born in
1881. in England. came to this
country on the "Hopewelr from
London and was supposed to be
descended from the John Marshall,
of Southwick, England, whose son
founded the church at Southwick.
John was married in 1645 to Sarah,

they had John, Joseph. Samuel.
Sarah, Thomas, Hannah. Benjamin
and Christopher, from whom a nu-
merous family is descended.
D. w. c., writes thus: My great
grandfather, John Colley. was born
in London in 1913 and came to this
country when a young man. and set
tied in Virginia. He had three sons
that located in Georgia, one Of whom
was my grandfather. My father is

II possible"
There is no available published rec
ords of the Colley family in America.
Colley was the original surname of
the Marquis Wellesley. duke of Well
ington. This name was written Cow
ley in the reign of Henry VIII. and
this form was taken from parishes in
Gloucester. Middlesex. oxford and
Dallop.
1t is barely possible that the Amer
lean Colleys are a branch Of the larger
family of Galley. Settlers of this name
were early in Charlestown, Mass.
Galley may be from the Scotch
M'Cauley, or MacAuley, which is from
tiiC OAd oNOS1ii mrs ne
mac, of course, signified simply son Of
1t is also possible that the name is
from the Scandinavian first name
Olav and that some Scotch-born de-
scendant of a Scandinavian settler of
this name was called Mac Olav, Mac
Aulif and then later Galley. 1t is easy
to think that name that has under
gone so many changes might have
been confused so that different men,
bers of the same family would spell
it Colley and Galley. Arms for the
Galley family. the Galley and the Cayl-
ley family, are all the same. and are
described: Quarterly argent and sable,
on a bend gules three mullets of the
first.
r. H. McC. writes for information
concerning the Ball and McCarty
families. Il have been watching this
department for years. thinking that /
would see these names mentioned, but
as yet, I have failed to see these two
names mentioned in your department"
Probably the first Ball in the South
was Col. William Ball, who flourish
ed about 1872 His coat-of-arms is
as follows: Argent a lion PEASANT
sable, on a chief of the second three
mullets of the first. Greet: Out OF
the clouds proper a demi lion ram
pant sable powdered with estoiles
argent and holding a globe or. The
motto is "Coelumqui tueri." Edward
Ball, who was in Branford, Connecti-
cut, in 1867 used the same coat,of-
arms with the substitution Of this
crest: A stag trippant, and this mot
cavete."
Dennis McCarty. OF Norfolk, vir-
ginia, used this coat-of-arms in 1915:
Argent a stag trippant gules. attired
and unguled or. Crest: A dexter arm
In armor proper cuffed argent, erect
and couped at the wrist, holding in
the hand a lizard, both also proper.
The motto is: Forte ct fideli non d.
ficile." This ennis McCarty married,
in 1868, a daughter of one Luke Bill
lington and they established a large
