    The purpose is to help all researchers by showing:
  • Links to web sites containing the full family histories
  • Anecdotes which may assist in research
  • Brick wall information
The family head's name links directly into the Patriarchs page. Links to external sites will open in a new window.

Bernard Markham, m Rebecca Briscoe
Site: Notes:
John Markham was born about 1700 in county Kilkenny Ireland, son of Bernard Markham and Rebecca Briscoe. This Markham family removed from England to Ireland, probably during the Cromwellian period. About 1730 John Markham removed to the United States and settled in Orange county New York, where he married Catherine Mathews. About 1750 he moved his family to Chesterfield county Virginia. He died there in 1770, leaving a Will naming six sons and three daughters.
 
I have researched on this family for thirty years and I enjoy exchanging information with descendants. Over the years, I have met or corresponded with about twenty descendants of John Markham and Catherine Mathews, but I have never been in touch with a descendant through the male lines, who retains the Markham name.
 
After careful study, I believe that only two of John Markham's sons may have descendants of the male line who are living today. Those branches are presented here. It would be a great benefit to Markham Family Research to have the results of DNA testing on male descendants of John Markham and Catherine Mathews. If you can help, please contact me.

Thomas Markham, b 1790 Bedford, Va., d 31 Mar 1854; m Lydia Jeanette Brakefield/Brookfield
Site:
-
Notes:
I am confident on the line back to Thomas Markham b. circa 1790 Bedford, Va.
I have no idea who his parents are. I know the actors in Bedford at that time but I cannot link him to any of them.

Philip Markham [markham AT post6.tele.dk]
George Markham , b 1801 Binbrook, Lincolnshire, England, d 22 Apr 1877 Ulceby, Lincolnshire; m Anne Codd
Site: Notes:
My 2nd Great-Grandfather George MARKHAM was born in Binbrook, Lincolnshire, England in 1801.
He stated his birthplace as Binbrook in the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census and died in Ulceby, Lincolnshire in 1877.
I have not been able to confirm his birth there (or of course his parents) because the records of the 2 churches in Binbrook
(St Mary and St Gabriel) are either missing or in bad shape for the years 1800 to 1802.
I am ALMOST sure that he belonged to the family group William MARKHAM (1771-1830) and Jane SEARBY (1770-1830) both of Binbrook, as the naming patterns for George's children fit (first born William, second Jane etc.) and the birth years for the 10 other children of William Markham and Jane Searby leave a gap in 1801.
Binbrook was then only a small village and there were 2 MARKHAM family groups there, no doubt related.

Carolyn and Jim Markham [Carolyn AT waterking.com.au]
Andrew Michael Markham , b 1810 Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland. d 1845 Kilrush, County Clare Ireland; m Bridget

Notes:
Alfred Ernest Markham's wife Julie Anne Ellis came from Ireland to Australia on the ship John Craig at the age of 3.
James Robert Markham, b l937 (grandson of Alfred Ernest Markham) Former Mayor of Waverley, Solicitor, Proctor of Supreme Court of N.S.W.;
had a visitor to his office by the name of Gervase Markham.
"He told Jim that the original Markham served with William the Conqueror 1066 and was given lands in Nottingham and that he was descended from that line and believed that we were too."


David W. Morgan [dmorgan003 AT hawaii.rr.com]
John Bunyon Markham, b 1819 Tennessee, d Feb 1856, Claiborne Parish, Louisana; m 1843 Noxubee County, Mississippi, Sarah Elizabeth Upshaw.
Site: Notes:
John Bunyon Markham was murdered by D. J. Morris at Morris's house in Minden, Louisiana in February 1856. The judge let Morris go without charges.
Markham was stabbed in the side and breast and according to the newspaper article, buried at Minden Louisiana, but we haven't found a tombstone as yet.
There is only speculation as to why it happened and consequently why the Judge should let Morris go.
John left five small children, three daughters and two sons; his wife Sarah died in 1902, buried at Post Oak Cemetery, Holland, Bell County, Texas.
John's eldest son was James Monroe Markham, b 1853, Sparta, Bienville Parish, LA, d 1936 Texas, buried Holland, Bell County, Texas; he married Nannie Bell Newman and had eleven children.
The youngest son of James Monroe Markham was Ernest William (Bud) Markham, b 1902, Bell County, Texas, d 1965, Riverside California, buried Holland, Bell County, Texas;
m1 21 May 1921 Canyon, Texas, Rebecca Mae Bassett, b 24 March 1904 near Texola, Oklahoma Territory, d 1989.
Rebecca Mae raised six boys near Erick, Oklahoma, three by her first husband and three by her second. One son is still living.
Ernest William (Bud) Markham also m2 1929 Grace Eileen Davis, and had 2 daughters (both deceased).
The eldest son of Bud Markham and Rebecca Mae was Hubert Donnell Markham, b 23 July 1922 Canyon, Texas, d 31 July 2006, m 17 May 1942 MIldred Sue Barber who died 7 July 1986. Don was adopted by his step-father French Morgan before he got married.
I am the oldest son of Hubert Donnell Markham Morgan.


John AR Markham [j.markham AT virgin.net]
Mark Antony (or Anthony) MARKHAM , b bef July 1837, d aft? 1862; m Jane (Grey? or Watt?)
Site: Notes:
Mark's dates are estimated, nothing more is known of him except that his profession is given as "tailor" on his son's marriage certificate.
At the wedding of Thomas Markham (son of Mark) on 3 Apr 1887, Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, Hoxton, Middlesex, UK,
there was a witness by the name of Frederick Markham. It could be assumed that he is a relative, but nothing is known of him.
This Frederick Markham (of adult age in April 1887) could be vital in finding more earlier family.
