Hi Mr. Thomas,

Records relating to U.S. Marshals in the 19th century are found among several record groups, including Record Group 60 (Department of Justice). There are a couple of series of records at Archives II which may be useful:

1. List of Judges, Marshals, and Attorneys, 1876-1888:  https://catalog.archives.gov/id/1183083

2. Year Files, 1884-1903: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/578368

The year files are accessed by several indexes, which are noted in its series description.

Unfortunately, very little is available online that I am aware of. Contact Archives2reference@nara.gov

for more information on how to access these records.

Hi Rodney,

I too have been doing research into the US Marshals officers. My timeline is slightly different, as I've been looking for US Marshals that transported prisoners during 1909-1912. One source that I've found helpful is listed below. It's a digital scan of the reports from 1832-1993. It's tedious, but you can can sometimes find the names of Marshals, because they are on the Federal payroll. The source is Hathi Trust Digital Library.

(By the way, I too live in Washington State. I live in Seattle and am a weekly citizen archivist (volunteer) at the National Archives.)

Rodney,

Here is another possible resource for your inquiry. If you Google the title of the book you'll see that there is a limited search feature. I put in your mans name and it said no entry found. BUT I would check out the book anyway because he may be in there, but not found by the search engine. [Note, in Washington State the book can be found at the Spokane Public Library as well as the Burlington Public Library.]

Dear Mr. Thomas:

This is in reply to your inquiry requesting a record related to U.S. Marshall service records.  The National Archives at St. Louis maintains personnel records related to the service of former military service members and former civil service employees. This includes U.S. Marshalls employed under the Department of Justice. His service may be a bit early for what we have but we might have a roster that details his presidential appointment.

We will need additional information such as full names, dates of birth, and the federal agency for which they worked. Please contact us at stl.archives@nara.gov with this additional information and we will be happy to conduct a search.

Thank you for your inquiry. 

Sincerely,

Cara Moore

Archives Technician
