Martha Stearns Marshall
Martha Stearns Marshall (1726–1754) was a Separate Baptist preacher in the Southern United States. She spread the gospel alongside her husband, Daniel Marshall (1706–84), who is generally regarded as the first great Baptist leader in the state of Georgia. She was once jailed in Virginia for refusing to stop preaching the gospel, although she was three months pregnant at the time. Her preaching was powerful enough to convince a young man named Cartledge to become a preacher; she also converted her arresting constable and magistrate. She often stood alongside her brother Shubal Stearns and spoke at Baptist meetings. Martha also assisted her husband Daniel in his churches and preached to his congregations. She gave birth to six sons and two daughters.
==Contributions==
In 1810, Virginia Baptist historian Robert Semple wrote of Marshall’s contributions to Baptist work:
'Mr. Marshall had a rare felicity of finding in this lady, a Priscilla, a helper in the gospel. In fact, it should not be concealed that his extraordinary success in the ministry, is ascribable in no small degree, to Mrs. Marshall’s unwearied, and zealous co-operation. Without the shadow of a usurped authority over the other sex, Mrs. Marshall, being a lady of good sense, singular piety, and surprising elocution, has, in countless instances melted a whole concourse into tears by her prayers and exhortations!'
Baptist historian George Paschal, in his ''History of North Carolina Baptists'', wrote of Daniel and Martha:
“As a result of the labors of this earnest and fervent evangelist, in which he doubtless had the assistance of his saintly and gifted wife, Mrs. Martha Stearns Marshall, great numbers turned to the Lord.”
