- catalog description "Thomas Marsh, Harvard College librarian, Tutor, and Fellow, was born on January 20, 1710/11 to Thomas and Mary (Burr) March in what is now West Hingham, Mass. While attending Harvard College, Marsh was a waiter, held the Samuel Browne scholarship, and was a Scholar of the House for two years. He received his Harvard A.B. in 1731 and his A.M. in 1734. From 1730-1733, he kept school in Dedham, Mass., and later taught school in Worcester. He returned to Harvard in 1736 as a Hopkins Fellow to read theology. On May 20, 1737, he was appointed College librarian, a position he held until 1741, when he began preaching in Rutland, Mass., and became a tutor at Harvard. On August 20, 1755, Marsh was elected a Fellow of the College. He held both of these positions until 1766, when he married Hannah Sprague, thereby becoming illegible to be a tutor. As of 1775, he was teaching school in Watertown; that same year he was appointed as Justice of the Peace for Middlesex County. Marsh died in Watertown on September 22, 1780.".
