Research Notes

Goochland County, Colony of Virginia appears to be a much more likely birth location than Stokes county, Province of North Carolina and furthermore Franklin County is within what used to be Goochland. Foster-86

In 1761 Chesterfield list, found John, Bernard, and Peter Markham with slaves George, Bristol, Tom, and Deborah. John Markham may also be the tax assessor listed in lower right corner of page. Foster-86

No record of Markham family found in 1776 Chesterfield County tithe lists. Foster-86

In 1786 Personal Tax List, the following Marcum are found:

Is his 1792 death in Red Bird, Owsley, Kentucky really his or from another Thomas Marcum? Note that Owsley was not created until 1843.

Daughter might be Elizabeth Markham.

Note: Owsley County, Kentucky, was formed in 1843 from portions of Breathitt, Clay, and Estill Counties. Therefore the death or locations of any Marcum or Banks family would have to be in one of the original counties. Barney Banks
