    There is no 'Marshall Clan.' The Marshall family is a sept of Clan Keith. The history of the name comes from when the Earl Marischal was exiled after the 1715 up rising. Members of his clan petitioned the King to allow the Earl to return to Scotland. These clansmen (no matter what their sir name was) were called the Marischal's men which was shortened and anglicized to "Marshall." So, your boyfriend shouldn't worry about not being born of a Marshall, as none of us were originally. Beside that, many are adopted into a clan that they have no relationship too.
    So, as the Clan Keith convener for Texas, and a director for the Clan Keith Society, USA I hereby state he is a Marshall, with all privileges and honors as a member of the Clan Keith.
    Happy Thanksgiving.
