"Some information from Grace Markwell Meier. Much information from Caren Prater who in a letter to me 6 Aug 1992 writes, "William markwell, Sr. and wife Amelia Mildred "Milly" Hurst's tombstones were put in concrete many years ago. This told to me by me grandmother, Martha Harlan Day Royse (Mrs. Leo Marce Royse). William and Amelia were buried right in Poplar Plains on the outside wall of the old Pearce/Ficklin Graveyard." A memorial marker located in the Markwell Cemetery near Grange City locates the graves, "just outside the south wall of the old Pearce Cemetery in Poplar Plains, at the southeast corner of the wall."
He was buried in Pearce/Ficklin Cemetery, Poplar Plains, Fleming county, Ky. This place is supposedly on his farm between Poplar Plains and Hillsboro, Kentucky. Occupation was Innkeeper and Farmer, church affiliation was Baptist, according to Cornish. Further, Cornish reports that William French Markwell was a landowner and a slave owner. Brick home, bricks later used in Fleming county, Ky to construct a modern day home. The house stood for 179 years, built by slaves of William Markwell, bricks used later in another home, Fleming county, I guess. Mamie has a picture of the front door, framework.
Gravestone erected 1981, at the Markwell Cemetary between Hillsboro and Grange City in Fleming county, Kentucky. On April 26, 1981, dreams of family representatives, Glenna Markwell Kessels and Grace Markwell Meier were realized. The Dudley chapter of the D.A.R. held the dedication services. Miss Mary Ann Dodge, Regent of the William Dudley Chapter, gave a very moving dedication. Four children of representatives of William's children were also present.
" Since the memorial stone could not be placed on the actual site of the graves in Poplar Plains, because they are on private property, it was located within the boundaries of the old Fox Creek Baptist Church foundation located in the north part of the Markwell Cemetery near Grange City. William attended this church in the early 1800's.
"A tombstone in the Markwell Cemetery near Grange City inscribed William Markwell, Sr. is incorrect; it should be William Markwell, Jr.
The marker is located at right at the south east corner of cemetary. This account of dedication is from The Mark of The Markwell, organized 1980. This was a special edition mailing.
Some varied papers listing William Markwell in The Baptists in Fauquier county, Virginia 1770-1771 as a contributor in the church, 70s. this may be the first reference to the father of William Markwell, for William was born 1755. this page was page 390, Virginia Historical Magazine. Extracts from Peter Hitt's Account Book, edited by Charles E. Kemper, Staunton, Virginia.
William Markwell was in the Revolutionary War during 1777-1780.
Another paper shows William Markwell in a list of churches, Fleming county, Foxes Creek. Copied from minutes of the Bracken Association of Baptists. held at Stone Lick Church September 19,20,21,1801, Mason county, Ky.
Foxes Creek churches, William Markwell is listed two more times under the heading, Messengers.
Page 618, Records of Maryland Troops in the Continental Service--Return of Invalids--Continental Hospital Returns, 1777-1778, a list of the soldiers in the court house Hospital at Reading Nov 17, 1777 lists William Markwelch. (Mark Markwell remarks this notation is an incorrect spelling for Markwell). Another paper during the War of the American Revolution, 1775-83: "Musters of Maryland Troops,Vol 1". Name: Markwell, Wm. Rank do Discharged 8 Mar 1780. William Markwell first appears on Roll of Jan 1778 on Detachment with Captain Lynch, April 1778.
Another document #172 dated 8 Apr 1805 Thomas Jones of Montgomery county, Ky and William Markwell of Fleming county, Ky: the sale of Negro woman slave named Pricellah aged about 27 years for 110 pounds. Witnessed William Pickrell, Laurance Thompson, James Markwell, clerk, George W. Botts.
Following is from Donald Ackley [email protected] dated 18 Mar 1996: William served in the Revolutionary War as a private. The record of the War Department in Washington, DC, shows that William Markwell served as a mamber of Captain Alexander L. Smith's Company in Colonel Rawling's Regiment attached to the Fourth Maryland Regiment, commanded by Colonel J. C. Hill. Archives of Maryland, Vol 18, Maryland Muster Roll of Revolution, 1775-1783 page 145 says 'William Markwell, Private, discharged March 8, 1780'. Court records show that William Markwell was in Mason County,KY in 1796 when he "gave consent" for the marriage of his daughter to John Warwick. He lived in that part of Mason county that was later formed into Fleming County in 1799. The will of William Markwell is recorded in Will Book B, page 1, Fleming County Court.
