Stewart and Kelley Marshall, longtime residents of Isle of Hope, are well-known for their love of community, music, and family. Stewart, a realtor with Daniel Ravenel Sotheby’s International Realty and musician in several local bands, and Kelley, an account executive at International Gourmet Foods and former caterer, have deep roots in the area. Their children, Bryan and Drayton Quattlebaum, are 23-year-old twins who were raised in the neighborhood, immersing themselves in its rich history and vibrant culture.

Kelley has lived on Isle of Hope for 30 years, while Stewart grew up nearby on Shipyard Creek. Stewart’s family history in Savannah dates back to 1857 when his great, great, great grandfather, Major James Turner Stewart emigrated from his native land of Scotland to Savannah. Stewart's father, Murray Marshall, attended the original Isle of Hope school. Kelley, originally from Chattanooga, moved to Savannah in third grade. The two met at a Christmas party and married in 2007 at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, a beloved community fixture.

Bryan and Drayton spent their childhood exploring Isle of Hope’s marshes, docks, and green spaces, building a love for the outdoors that has followed them into adulthood. Bryan now works with Savannah Bee Company, while Drayton, a Georgia Southern graduate, is employed at Henderson & Henderson Law Firm in Charleston. Bryan developed a passion for nature through activities like birding and falconry, and Drayton pursued interests in ballet, cooking, and leadership through school and sorority roles.

The Marshalls’ home is often filled with friends, family, and good food, thanks to Kelley’s renowned cooking skills. They enjoy gatherings on their backyard patio, celebrating special occasions, and watching Georgia games. Along with their pets—Whaler, Luna, and Wallace—their home is a hub of warmth and camaraderie.

Committed to the local community, the Marshalls actively participate in Isle of Hope’s social events. Stewart performs with his bands at neighborhood gatherings, including the Isle of Hope Art & Music Festival and charity singalongs with Savannah Beer & Hymns. The family also supports their church, St. Thomas Episcopal, through fundraising and service, and they are involved with the Isle of Hope Historical Association and the Wymberley Garden Club.

With Stewart's Scottish roots, it is no surprise that his connection to the Savannah Scottish Games runs deep, thanks to his father, Murray Marshall, who serves as the President of the Savannah Scottish Games. Stewart and his family proudly serve on the Games Committee, playing a key role in organizing the event held annually at Historic Bethesda. The upcoming Savannah Scottish Games will mark its 47th year on May 3, 2025. For the Marshalls, the event is a true labor of love—a chance to celebrate, honor, and share their Celtic heritage. Last year’s festival drew over 4,500 attendees, who enjoyed the vibrant culture and traditions of Scotland. Stewart’s passion for music also took center stage, with all three of his bands performing during the event’s evening ceilidh, a lively conclusion to the day’s festivities.

The Marshalls cherish many memories on Isle of Hope, from Halloween’s Haunted Trail events to their children meeting actors Adam Sandler and David Spade during the filming of The Do Over. For them, Isle of Hope is more than a place to live; it’s a community where lasting friendships and traditions are built. As Stewart puts it, their hope is that their children continue to embrace the values of family, friendship, and respect for the isle as they grow into their own lives.
