DNB Main notes for Captain Samuel Marshall RN
From Biographia navalis; or, Impartial memoirs of the lives and characters of officers of the navy of Great Britain, from the year 1660 to the present time; drawn from the most authentic sources, and disposed in a chronological arrangement (1794). By John Charnock. Vol vi, pp. 51-2.
MARSHALL, Samuel,-- after having been for many year commander of a sloop of war, was, on the 17th of July, 1847, promoted to the command of the Namure, of seventy-four guns, a ship not long afterwards sent to the East Indies, under the orders of Mr Boscawen, who hoisted his flag on board her. The leading operations which took place during this expedition have, consequently, been already detailed, with the the melancholy fater of the ship itself, as well as the greater part of her crew. ‡
After his return from this unfortunate expedition he was, early in 1573, appointed to the Tyger, of sixty guns, one of the vessels put into commission as a guard-ship at Portsmouth. About the month of August in the ensuing year he removed into the Nottingham, a ship of the same rate; and we do not find him otherwise noticed till the year 1757, when he still commanded the same vessel, and was engaged, under Mr Holbourn, in the unsuccessful expedition against Louisburg. Captain Marshall, having been ordered to Halifax some considerable time previous to the enterprise, was found there by the admiral, on his arrival from New York, in the month of July. In the ensuing year he was again employed on the same service under the more fortunate auspices of Mr Boscawen; but the only material subsequent relation we find given of him is in 1762, when he commanded the Devonshire, one of the fleet employed in the expedition against the Havannah, under sir G Pockock, who, on the death of captain Goostry, appointed captain Marshall his successor in the Cambridge. We do not know him to have held any commission after the conclusion of the war; nor indeed have we any other particulars concerning him, except that he died at Gosport in the month of April 1768.

‡ London Gazette,-- “His majesty’s ship Namure, of seventy four guns, foundered in nine fathom water. She was our of Fort St David road, after having taken in much water; the 13th of April, 1749. At seven PM captain Marshall was saved; her third lieutenant, Mr Gilchrist, captain of marines, surgeon, purser, chaplain, boatswain and about forty other people and seventy sick ashore in the hospital, the first, second and fourth lieutenants, master, gunner, and two lieutenants of marines, in all five hundred and twenty, were drowned.”
