Candidate Biography:
Family: Father-in-law of B. T. Bradley
Died: January 1864 at Carson Valley, CA
DUEL: Marshall fought a duel against W. S. Dudley in early March 1855 in Mokelumne Hill.
- NOT SO DEAD: In January 1864, a newspaper reported that B. F. Marshall killed B. T. Bradley and Samuel Wilson after a disagreement between Marshall and Bradley in which Wilson had testified against Marshall. Bradley wrote a contradictory note (published in the Marysville Daily Appeal on January 30th) saying: "It affords me pleasure to be in a condition to contradict the report. Neither Wilson nor myself has ever had any difficulty with Marshall, and I suppose Marshall will be as much surprised to to see the report as I was."
- NOTABLE ATTORNEY: Oscar T. Shuck's first edition of The Bench and Bar of California (1887) uses twelve of the thirteen chapters to relate the biography of a notable California attorney. Assuming that this is Samuel M. Wilson, he is one of the twelve.
