There is a new bio on John Marshall by Joel Richard Paul: Without Precedent: Chief Justice John Marshall and His Times. I am not sure if it will supplant Baker or Smith though.
For what it is worth:
Andrew Roberts will be releasing a new bio on Winston Churchill in the US early next month. (The UK is already enjoying it.)
