TInfo from a family group sheet provided by Joseph E. Gardner.....
"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."
"See also Fleming county, Kentucky wills: Wiliam markwell, 30 Jun 1816 (Will Book B, page 1; recorded Aug 1816) and Amelia Markwell, 5 Mar 1820 (Will Book B, page 426; recorded 1 May 1820). Also Amelia Markwell settlement 11 May 1826, recorded 3 Jul 1826, Book c, page 277."
