Research Notes
Louis Markison married Mary Markison, which caused some confusion with who was who. Also, Mary is the sister of Carrie Markison, who was married to Clifford Crabb, the son of Noah Crabb and Caroline Merrill. Louis' brother Peter Marcus married the youngest Merrill daughter, Adele Merrill.
