I see that GadgetsMom has already answered your question about Elliot's info and Massachusetts. My line runs from Connecticut and Massachusetts to New York and into Rhode Island(which is my state). If your line travels on any of these paths, perhaps we could compare notes. Sarah

John Markham of Blackthorn could be a gggguncle of mine born in 1792. I have no details of his wife or offspring but his brothers included: Joseph, William, Samuel, Daniel and Richard and sister Ann (Nana?) plus 8 others, including my ggggrandfather Thomas, although he and 3 others were not of the same mother. Do we know who Samuel the litigant was related to? Presumably Mary Ann Carroll was Richard's daughter. Needless to say, I am interested in further details if available.

It has been my understanding that the "Markum" family was originally in England and originally spelled the name "Marcum." However, I have learned there is a town called "Markum" in Holland, and have also seen references with the same spelling in Eastern Europe. Does anyone have information with regard to this? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Hi, Allen. A common misunderstanding in genealogical research is that the way the name was spelled had anything to do with anything. Usually, our ancestors here in America couldn't read and write anyway, and the name was spelled phonetically however the partidular court clerk or census or tax agent decided to spell it. The "Proper" spelling in England, if there ever really was one, was "Markham", and it apparently was a place name that came to be used as a surname when those came into fashion. Among the Virginia Markhams I have been researching for 30 years from original records ONLY, I have seen the name spelled at least a dozen ways referring to exactly the same people. Once, in a transcription error in recording the original deed/grant of 300 acres in Henrico Co, Virginia, the name was even spelled "Warren" rather than Markham throughout the entire document. Checking the original document itself ( a photocopy of it, anyway) it was easy to see what had happened, because if you weren't paying attention, it did look a bit like "Warren" in the old handwriting. My family now spells the name Marcum (since about 1870), but prior to that I have seen my same ancestors called Markham, Marcum, Markom, Markum, Markam, Marcham, Malcom, Markrum, Macrum, and a host of other things. You will find it a good idea always to check every index (or Soundex) for every possible spelling while you're in there. It saves a lot of expensive trips to the archives. I once even found a Pendergrass relative of mine under "S". His name was James, and someone had decided to spell his surname Spendergrast. The rule is : Don't get hung up on spellings. They don't matter a whit. Promise. Watch instead for deeds. wills, marriage bonds, Bible records and location, location, location ! (Also, don't beleive everything you read on the internet. A lot of the info is just a repeat of someone else's assumptions. Always check everything out for yourself from the original.) Best of luck. Call on me if I can help you out at all.

There appears to be adequate interest in the Markham's who lived in Alexandria. I spent several years there and went back for a visit a year ago and they have a lovely and a very huge new library. I have e-mailed to see if there is a genealogist there. Alexandria is a city without a county as are several other cities in Virginia. Arlington is Arlington Co. Also.....I have a breakdown, or a 'genealogy' of the counties of Virginia. I have tried to scan it, but it won't scan. If anyone is interested in getting copies of it, I can run it off and if anyone would like a copy they can let me know via USPS, send a SASE and I will send them a copy of what I have. Let me know if there is any interest in this. http://www.alexandria.lib.va.us/

Dear Tommy, Looking at your website, I didn't see a connection with my ancestors, but your George Markham looks a lot like my brother! There's got to be a connection at some point. My family spells the name "Markum" but originally it was spelled "Marcum." My grandfather's family was in TN, but I think originally they were in VA. >From: "Thomas A.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 14:59:24 -0800 From: Timothy J Dennee <kaogu@juno.com> To: markham-l@rootsweb.com, vacalexa-l@rootsweb.com, vaarling-l@rootsweb.com Subject: {not a subscriber} Markham family of Alexandria and Alexandria (Arlington) Co., VA Information from Alexandria Corporation Court Chancery Causes, 1900-013, Samuel Markham et al. vs. William J. Schuler et al. and 1886-002, Mary Ann Carroll vs. Thomas Carroll. John Markham of Blackthorn, Oxforshire, England had six sons and two daughters: John, Joseph, William, Samuel, Daniel, Richard, Charlotte, Nana. Neither daughter married, and both died ca. 1860. John had at least two sons, Samuel (II) and William (II). Samuel (II) remained in Blackthorn, while William (II) emigrated to the U.S. in 1863. William (II) lived in Belvidere, Boone Co., IL from 1863 to 1898, then moved to Alexandria Co., VA. He married three times, but only had children--four daughters and one son--by his first wife, Emma Rushell, apparently in England. The children included: Sarah Smith (Offord Road, Birmingham, Warwickshire in 1900), Elizabeth Adams (30 All Saints Row, Stackly, Birmingham, Warwickshire in 1900), and Clara Haney (resided about seven miles from Birmingham until her death in 1897-98). Joseph married and lived near the city of Oxford. He and his wife had two children: John and "Mrs. Harris," who emigrated to the U.S. and lived at 205 Queen Street, Alexandria, VA in 1900. William died at the home of his only son, Joseph--presumably in America. Joseph came to the U.S. ca. 1860 and lived in Alexandria Co., VA. Joseph died 1885. Daniel had two children. Richard died in London. He had four children, including Mary Ann, who emigrated and was living in Alexandria, VA by 1871. She married an Irish immigrant, Thomas Carroll of Fairfax Co., at the home of Joseph Markham in Alexandria Co. 8/31/1871. The Carrolls divorced in Alexandria in 1886, and Tom Carroll moved to Norfolk, VA before 1900. Tim Dennee

Allen: A branch of my Markham's from Botetourt County, Virginia went to Tenn. and they started spelling their name Marcum out there. I would guess this is the same family. Would be glad to help you make the connection. Tommy Thomas A.
