He served on committees representing the town for the purpose of erecting a meeting house and financial matters, and served as Trustee for town funds. On Sep. 16, 1735, he founded the town's Baptist church, which is the fourth oldest Baptist church in Massachusetts. He served as an elder of the church, and was its pastor from 1737 until his death in 1775. Elder Marsh is buried in a small cemetery on the Marsh homestead, with a granite headstone marked "Eld. M."
