Note Military:
John Marquis was a colonial scout and served as a soldier in what is known as Lord Dunmore's war in 1774-1775 Revolutionary war. He was among the pioneers of Pennsylvania, who fought the Indians during 1776-1783 (Indian Wars). Had been in many campaigns and expeditions during the Indian War.
Note About Children:
The children of John and Sarah (Griffith) Marquis were noted for their musical talents and fine musical voices. Dr. John Stockton told the writer, that Robert Marquis had the finest musical voice of any man he ever heard sing.
Note Property 1744:
He settled on a tract of land for which he obtained a warrant February 23, 1786, and afterward received a patent. This tract was called "Marquesata", and contained 421 acres, and allowance, embracing the farms now owned by H. C. Anderson and Robert Anderson, and a part of the farm of Richard Wells, called the "Mason" farm.
Note Personality:
For some time, on account of the Indian raids, he was obliged to keep his family in Vance's fort, while he tried to clear his farm. Once, while in his cabin, he heard the report of a rifle close at hand, and going out he saw a party of Indians killing his hogs. On seeing him they immediately gave the war whoop and rushed down upon him. It was a race for life, and although the Indians were so close to him at the start that he heard their footsteps in pursuit, yet he outran them and arrived in safety at Vance's fort. He was noted among the scouts and backwoodsmen as a fleet runner, and he was a man of strong and decided character.
