2-Janet McHugh was born on 4 Feb 1866 in Port Sorell, died on 9 Dec 1924 in Devonport, Tasmania at age 58, and was buried in Old Devonport Cemetery.  Janet was also known as Jessie.  Janet was less than two years old when her mother died and she was cared for North Motton couple John and Martha Eagle, who had no other children. 

 Janet married James Reuben Marshall, son of John Marshall and Eliza Ann Carling, on 10 Dec 1896 in North Motton. James was born on 10 Nov 1870 in Deloraine, Tasmania, died on 8 Sep 1949 in Devonport, Tasmania at age 78, and was buried in Old Devonport Cemetery.  Known also as Jim or Jack, James was also an expert axeman:

AXEMEN'S CARNIVAL.
Choppers, Past and Present.
(By "The Wild Irishman.")

It must be quite thirty-five years since the first Axemen's Carnival was inaugurated by the Hon. H. A. Nicholson, M.L.C. The carnival was held on the old show-ground, near the Latrobe station, and crowds came from all parts of the island to see the champion axe men of Australia compete. Many thought that our Tasmanian chopper would have to play "second fiddle" to some of the axemen from over the water, but, amidst great excitement old Tom Reeves, of Barrington, won the first championship of Australia from Dan Vince, of Huon, who shortly after, like many of his calling, lost his life while felling a tree.

Old Tom Reeves was perhaps one of the biggest-hearted men Tasmania has ever produced, and on more than on occasion he "cleaned up" a programme of chopping and foot-running events in the one afternoon. When Tom went to Melbourne to chop, his moustache, which was probably the longest in Australia, created a sensation, and I think if the old chopper had been willing he could have earned good money on the vaudeville stage.

Enter, Jim Marshall.

Next carnival saw the arrival of 'the "Lightning Axeman," Jim Marshall, who was probably the best man at both classes of chopping, underhand and standing blocks, Tasmania has ever produced. I always give Tom Pettitt the honor of being the best with axe and saw, but Marshall was undoubtedly a champion with the axe and I once saw him concede up to 75 secs, in a big handicap through two foot blocks to over a hundred competitors, being only beaten by a second or two by the limit men. If ever a man chopped like a machine that afternoon, it was Jim Marshall, the chips literally pouring out of the block.

Janet and James had six children:
