Marcus L. Aderton, was born in Charles County, Md., and there received his education and grew to manhood. He learned the trade of a carpenter, and after going to Lincoln County, Mo., worked at this business most successfully, building the first house a Capidegris, that county, and undoubtedly possessing great skill.
