Article unclear in section about John Marshall's Continental Army service

Both John Marshall and his father, Thomas Marshall, joined the Continental Army. The article continues to refer only to Marshall afterwards, making it unclear which of them the article is discussing. After the Revolutionary War, it says Marshall returned to civilian life and had the help of his influential father-in-law, but there is no reference to John Marshall being married and I believe it is referring to his father, Thomas Marshall, but I can't be certain because last names only are being used. Clarification is needed. 63.230.120.52 (talk) 21:15, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Elizabeth Cogliati[reply]
