This is Mark Goodmansen. I have recently changed computers and internet service and have not been involved on the internet for quite a while. I apologize if some have tried to contact me and I have not responded. During this time I have still been very active in Markham research however. I have just completed a book on the colonial immigrant Deacon Daniel Markham of Massachusetts and Connecticut. This book was prepared with a comb binding. Hopefully there will be enough interest in the future to justify a hardcover printing. Since finding that Deacon Daniel was born in Earls Colne, Essex I have been doing extensive research about his life and times in England. We are lucky that the Vicar of Earls Colne left a diary that has been preserved which gives insight into his life during the mid 1600's. Unfortunately there is only brief mention of the Markhams specifically. With the court case involving Daniel Markham and his uncle Edward Collins the close relationship of the Collins, Russell and Markham family is presented in this book. These associations unveil the incredible story of the "cousin connections" that Daniel Markham undoubtedly became a part of upon his arrival in New England. Edward Collins and many of his kinsmen were involved in hiding out three of the regicide judges (involved in the trial and execution of King Charles I) from the royal authorities sent to New England by Parliament and Charles II. This conspiracy continued for more than a decade. If discovered it undoubtedly would have resulted in the executions of many of Deacon Daniel's relatives and perhaps his own life would have been at risk. If anyone is interested in this book, it is available for $17 + $3 postage. (Utah residents must also pay sales tax.) I am very interested in comments from others about my findings. I previously wrote a book about Stephen Markham born in 1800 who eventually settled in Utah. This book is also available for $20 + $3. I expect to complete another book soon about the English origins of some of the colonial Markhams. This includes Deacon Daniel, Nathaniel Markham, William Markham of Hadley,Massachusetts and Lewis, William and John Markham of Virginia. I have found substantial evidence which clearly suggests from whom they descend. It is likely that my conclusions will be surprising to many and challenges some traditional theories. I have also found that church and family records and personal items ( a stone and mantle from his original Middletown home) were preserved in a bank vault until the early 1900's. Does anyone know what happened to them? They belonged to Dr. Ernest Markham of Durham Connecticut. My mailing address is: 10467 South North Forty Way, South Jordan, Utah 84095.
