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. Gravestone erected 1981, at the Markwell Cemetery 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.

William Markwell was in the Revolutionary War during 1777-1780.

The marker is located at right at the south east corner of cemetery. This account of dedication is from The Mark of The Markwell, organized 1980. This was a special edition mailing.

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.

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 was page 390, Virginia Historical Magazine. Extracts from Peter Hitt's Account Book, edited by Charles E. Kemper, Staunton, Virginia.

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 info is from family group record provided by Joseph E. Gardner......
"Some information is from Grace Markwell Meier of Paris, Illinois. She states in a letter dated September 1991 that he died at the home of his daughter, Elizabeth Warrick. Grace said that she found the cornerstone of the church for which William gave land. This presumably was at the Markwell Graveyard near Grange City, Fleming county, Kentucky.

"Much information is from Caren Prater of Flemingsburg, Kentucky. Caren is a descendant and is Fleming County Historian. In a letter of 6 August 1992 she writes "William Markwell, Sr. and wife Amelia Mildred "Milly" Hursts'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." 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.

"In "Kentucky Cemetery Records", volume 1, page 167, published by the Kentucky Society of D.A.R. is a list of Revolutionary War soldiers buried in Fleming County. Included is "William Markwell, born 1769, in Maryland, died 1816, buried in Poplar Plains.

"The William Markwell will, signed 30 Jun 1816, was recorded August 1816 in Fleming County Kentucky Will Book B on page 1.

"In a Cumberland County, Illinois, History, compiled by their Historical Society, in a biography of Hurst Markwell on page 530, it is stated that his father Wm. French Marquil (French spelling) emigrated from France."

He served as a private under Captain Alexander L. Smith attached to the 4th Maryland regiment during the revolutionary war. His discharge papers are recorded in the Archives of Maryland, vol 18, Maryland Muster Roll of the Revolution, 1775-1783, page 145. His will is on file in the Fleming county courthouse, Maysville listing the names of his children. Most of this is from a publication called The Kentucky Genealogist, but I did not document the date. There is a wiz at the Fleming county courthouse whose specialty is local genealogy. You can contact Caren Dawn Prater at 207 E Main Street, Flemingsburg, Ky. 41041. She has been a great help to me as I have Markwells in my line..

Following is from Donald Ackley dackley@lib.occ.cccd.edu 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 member 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.
