Hi Cousins" I am at the end of my rope....my dad and I have looked for 2 years for my gr. grfthr, RICHARD E. MARKHAM, in 1880, but cannot find him in any state we've checked. We have him born in Miller Co., Ark. and is in Bowie Co., Texas in 1870 and again in 1900. Seeing as how that 1890 census is missing, we've got 30 years missing. We know he was married in about 1882 to a lady from Miller Co., Ark. right across the border, but neither of them show up in either Bowie or Miller on the 1880 census. I NEED to find where they were married. We've even checked surrounding states, including Indian Territory, as his wife was full-blood Choctaw, but....nothing found. If ANYBODY has seen my Richard E. Markham, possibly R.E. Markham (that's how he signed his name) in 1880 I would be eternally grateful if you would let me know. His father was Robert Markham, died 1860 in Lafayette Co., Ark (now Miller Co.) Thanks!! dustyc@microgear.net
