I don't know of any pictures of these Marcum's , but would love to be able to find copies of any of the Marcum family that settled in Breathiit Co. Below is what I have on them, I don't know if this will help. Now this is what I Believe at this time, I can't swear I'm right ! Would like to work with anyone researching the Marcum 's or the families who have married into these lines. Thanks , Martha Jo Marcum Carr Descendants of Edward B Marcum Generation No. 1 1.

August 1876; d. 1953, Sewell Cem, Breathitt Co, Ky.. Notes for BRUCE MARCUM: April 17, 1903 The Jackson Hustler says: At 1 o'clock p.m. Wednesday, in front of the courthouse in this city, an event transpired that is without a parallel in the history of this county since its formation, and one that has been but seldom, if ever, witnessed in any community. The incident referred to was the public sale into servitude for a period of six months, for vagrancy, of Bruce Marcum, a young, robust and able-bodied man about twenty-seven years of age. This being the first time a white man (one Negro having been sold for the same cause a few years ago in Breathitt) was ever sold in the county, quite a large and curious throng gathered in front of the courthouse to witness the sale. Berry Turner, of Crockettsville, a Deputy Sheriff, cried him off, and performed the duty with all the skill of a professional auctioneer, calling attention to the health and physical qualifications of a young man, and impressed upon the crowd the value of the young man's labor to the would-be buyers, yet the bidding was rather slow and dull. Marcum was finally sold to Mr. William Griffith, of the Frozen precinct, for $650. The man sold is an only son of Edward Marcum, of this city. Marcum was tried at the March term of the Breathitt Circuit court on a charge of vagrancy and offered no defense. iii.
