Abraham Marsh

Abraham Marsh (ca 1750 – May 8, 1833[1]) was a political figure in Upper Canada. He represented Stormont & Russell in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada from 1810 to 1812.[2]

Marsh served in the Royal Highland Emigrant Regiment (84th) during the American Revolution.[2] He married Catherine French, the daughter of Jeremiah French.[1] Marsh received a land grant in Cornwall Township. He served in the Stormont militia and was a justice of the peace for the Eastern District. Marsh was elected to the assembly in an 1810 by-election held following the death of John Brownell.[2] He died in Mille Roches, Cornwall Township.[1]

He was buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery; his remains were moved to the new Maple Grove Cemetery prior to the flooding of the old cemetery in 1958 due to the construction of the Saint Lawrence Seaway.[1]
