My primary reason for joining wikitree is to share from my nearly forty years of research on the Markham surname. My own Markham family centers on John Markham (1710-1770) who immigrated from Ireland to America about 1735, and eventually settled in Chesterfield county Virginia. In trying to identify my Markham ancestors, I have gathered a significant amount of information on the surname - particularly in 17th and 18th century England and Ireland. I am delighted to collaborate and share.
I do maintain a website - Markham of Chesterfield.
