Charles Marsh (American politician)

Charles Marsh (July 10, 1765 – January 11, 1849) was an American politician from Vermont.

[3] He was appointed by George Washington to be the U.S. Attorney for the District of Vermont, and served from 1797 until 1801.

[7] Marsh became a member of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in 1809.

[13] His son George Perkins Marsh (1801–1882) was an environmentalist, a member of the United States Congress, and a diplomat.

His early 19th-century house, now much altered with Victorian features, is the centerpiece of Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and is a National Historic Landmark (primarily for its association with his son George Perkins Marsh), and his c. 1797 law office building (now a private residence and moved from its original location) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
