In the novels, Marsali and Fergus apparently know. They haven't been told on-page, but Diana Gabaldon confirms that the two know that Claire, Bree, and Roger are time travelers.
Jamie's godfather and companion Murtagh Fitzgibbons (Duncan Lacroix) finds out Claire is from the future in season two. After harbouring suspicions, Jamie told him the truth when they were travelling to France.
There, they take over a printing shop and start publishing a weekly newspaper. Fans will be pleased to hear that Marsali is still alive in the world of Outlander. She appears in Gabaldon's latest novel titled Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone. At the end of the last book, Marsali is pregnant with her fifth child.
Marsali would have been left a widow with four children, and everyone would have been devastated. Fortunately, that's not how it all played out. And we got to hear that Fergus and Marsali were heading to New Bern where Fergus could open up his own print shop.
As a result, Marsali takes on much of the physical labor of tending the whisky still and minding the animals, as well as caring for her four young children, cooking, and cleaning, while Fergus seeks out odd jobs that take him away from home for extended periods, like acting as messenger or translator.
She will be joined by her elder daughter Marsali MacKimmie Fraser, played by Lauren Lyle, and her husband, Fergus Claudel Fraser, played by César Domboy. Jamie's childhood friend Ian Murray, portrayed by Steven Cree, will return along with his youngest son Ian Fraser Murray played by John Bell.
In October 1773, Marsali and Claire are attacked while tending the malting shed. Claire is abducted while Marsali is left unconscious near the burning shed. Later in the month, Marsali gives birth to her fourth child, a boy named Henri-Christian, who has dwarfism.
We learn that Fergus (Romann Berrux) is not getting drunk and beating Marsali. Hooray! Unfortunately, Marsali is the one getting angry at Fergus.
Marsali did survive childbirth. The baby also survived. There's a big storyline to come for Henri-Christian.
“He's about 25,” Gabaldon said. It's an interesting response. If you're up to date on the series, then you know that Jamie is not dead at the age of 25.
Claire asks Lord John if he believes she (and Brianna and Roger) are from the future, to which he says that he doesn't, but that he will behave for all appearances as though he does.
Author Diana Gabaldon who has penned the series upon which the Starz show is based confirmed that the ghost was indeed Jamie Fraser but remained cryptic about the reasoning behind his appearance and what it could mean for the show later on during an interview for the Outlander podcast in 2014.
Claire eventually realizes that Malva is lying because she knows her husband well enough. Tom seems to question Malva's story. You can see it in his face that he's trying to figure out if this story is true. And then there are the reactions at the funeral when Allan refuses to let Claire carry the baby's coffin out.
After Allan killed her Claire was the one to discover her. And in spite of all she'd done to hurt the Frasers Claire tried to at the least save Malva's unborn baby. The baby did not survive.
Fergus is 17 years older than Ian and 15 years older than Marsali.
It's possible that Amelie's sister is the one who gives birth to the line that leads to Claire. Fergus will still be an ancestor but not a direct ancestor and that would mean Laoghaire isn't one of Claire's ancestor.
Henri-Christian is born as the fourth child of Fergus and Marsali. He is a dwarf and some of the residents of Fraser's Ridge believe he is a punishment for his parents' sins. Henri-Christian is placed in a basket and put into a stream by some boys. Roger saves him and baptized him.
Even though Marsali and Claire are not friends at all, she really likes Claire…and then they do become friends. She doesn't act like a mother to me.
Claire was promptly carted off to a witch trial by an angry mob baying for blood with Jamie and also Tom Christie (Mark Lewis Jones) accompanying her to ensure no harm came to the doctor.
The novel that launched the series, Outlander takes Claire back to 18th-century Scotland for the first time. On her time-traveling adventure, she meets Jamie. They marry each other in an attempt to save her from the clutches of Captain Randall, and fall deeply in love.
