Sorry Dusty, but Markhams need longer than just two years to dig out of the census records....LOL. I spent about 15!!!!! trying to find my James R. H. Markham.(my great grandfather. ....and hook him up with his father. They were on the census in Ark. but they were not readable to the transcriber...but I was able to pick them out from ages and names.....but it took me for ever....to link him each step of the way. So I guess I am saying don't give up after two years. I know in Arkansas....there were Markhams in the Indian censuses.....but I think they may have been Cherokee during the Trail of Tears trek. Keep looking. Ava
