Truly sorry.Although from Jeffersonville, I cannot find relationship with Marvel, although he had son named Samuel.Therefore, I did not keep his notes active.I probably have them somewhere in a box and if can find it will send it. Some years ago, in Marion,IN library, found a book about Stones that had story about "Marble" Stone from Jeff.He was a flatboater who carried supplies down the rivers to N.Orleans.He arrived in the middle of the Battle of New Orleans, watched it from a hill.Walking back home, he composed a song about the battle and was singing it in a bar in Memphis.A state congressman heard him, and the next day took him to the statehouse to sing it for the state legislature.I wish I had kept a record of that book.Not much help, huh?
