Do you know of East Marshfield ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about East Marshfield. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with East Marshfield.<1>

Our sources for East Marshfield (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of East Marshfield other than they indicate that East Marshfield would be found somewhere in Plymouth County, Massachusetts.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1837 and closed  in 1890.
