Hi Beverly and anyone else out there that may be listening: I read what Beverly said and wanted to add this little bit of info about the Markham's. I too am a descendant of Deacon Daniel. I am not a genealogist, but I try a little. Hers goes--- Deacon Daniel, James, William, James, Jeptha, Simon Sterling, Jasper Newton, Lorenzo Orville and me, John Orville Markham. I have more info on the children of each of the above if anyone is interested. Your old cousin from Olympia WA, John O. Markham.

John, et al, I haven't been doing a lot of Markham genealogy because my husband's aunt spent years of her life researching in the NYC Pulbic Library. However, I'm at a low point in trying to find my family so I joined the Markham list. I keep seeing names, Daniel and William in particular, but I have no idea if they are related. Aunt Mary's line goes back to a William Markham born in England about 1621 and died in Middleton, CT in 1690. He had a son, Daniel, by Priscilla Graves. Daniel married Elizabeth Whitmore and their son, another Daniel was born in 1673. He married Debora Meacham and they had a son, Israel. Since Aunt Mary didn't bother with siblings of the direct line, I have no idea about brothers or sisters of either Daniel or Israel. Does any of this connect with anyone else? (Beverly and I have already been in contact and she gave me the names of Daniel, Jrs. children.) Is one of these Daniels Deacon Daniel? Marion Markham
