Re: Fred Vinson connection to the Marcum family

cjtandco_1 — 2009-11-08 06:21:02Z

Hi, Kris -

Just saw your query. My uncles, Fred and Jimmy Wright, talked of the Marcum-Vinson reunions at Camden Park. We are related in some way. (I have seen from others' posts - here and on other Marcum forums - that Marcums and Vinsons intermarried several times.)

I know of two connectioins: James Overton Marcum (Fred D. Marcum's brother) married Rebecca Vinson ("Aunt Bec"). My mother has told me that Fred Vinson was Uncle Will O'Neal's(married to Fred and James O.'s sister, Belle Marcum) law partner in Catlettsburg, KY, before Fred went to Washington. I don't know whether Fred Vinson and Rebecca Vinson Marcum were closely related. I'll have to dig deeper there.

Re: Info on Marcum family roots

Rachel_Anders30 — 2009-09-08 02:07:53Z

Hi Danielle, from what little I do know about the Marcum's I have found that they come from England, and were tax collectors for the crown. They were in the North of England, along the Scottish borders, where (oddly enough) members of my family were Border Reivers (they stole cattle and such from the richer English families, the Marcum's were one such family.)
Hope this helps,
Rachel

I am related to Minerva Marcum, who married Claude Anders. They were from Grayson County, Va. I have cause to believe that their descendants moved into the Indiana and Missouri areas later.
Thanks

Re: Marcums & Missing Teeth

dipsydiver — 2009-07-01 13:17:05Z

Hi Diana - I was just trawling through the various postings when I came across yours regarding missing teeth. My mother was a Markham and my sister and I both had four teeth where there were baby teeth but not permanent teeth. We were told we were just millions of years ahead in evolution!! The really strange thing is that the Markham's in my family all come from the Brigg area of Lincolnshire, UK so if there is a "missing teeth" gene it obviously goes back a very very long way.

James E. Marcum born 1852 Laurel Co., KY

comanchelady44 — 2009-06-15 04:46:46Z

I am trying to find information on James E. Marcum, born 15 Jan. 1852 Laurel Co., KY. He was a brother to my Great-grandpa Bishop Asbury Marcum. Their parents were Jesse Marcum and Sarah W. Ely. Other than his birth date, I can find nothing further on him.

There is a James E. Marcum listed in the 1880 census as living in Blackfoot City, Deer Lodge County, MT but since I can't retrieve the info, have no idea if this is the same man.

If you have any info on James, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.

Fred Vinson connection to the Marcum family

researcher4 — 2009-05-31 10:34:47Z

I am interested in the Marcum connection with Frederick Moore Vinson (January 22, 1890 – September 8, 1953) of Louisa Kentucky, 13th Chief Justice of the United States.
My mother's childhood memory is of his attending "all the Marcum reunions at Camden Park." (Camden Park, Huntington West Virginia ) He liked to talk, we children could not wait until he was ready to give out the tickets. Every year he gave out tickets for the rides according to our heights. Each year we knew we would get more tickets from growing taller from the precious year.

Any one else have this memory? Any known connection Fred Vinson has to the Marcum's?

Re: Josiah Marcum & McDonald Family--> EXTREMELY interesting!

buckeyegirl1721 — 2008-04-09 13:25:52Z

Just wondering if anyone ever heard of this before. It goes against what I've ever read about Josiah but if it's true, is an amazing piece to the puzzle!

This comes from an interview done with Ida Belle Marcum, "Mountaineer of the Month" in the "The Mountail Call" March 1974.

"Could you tell us of the interesting early history of you [sic] McDonald-Marcum clan?
Josiah McDonald came from Ireland and I gather he came alone when 14 years old and he boarded with this old family named Marcum and he wanted to join the Revolutionary War and wasn't old enough, so by taking the old man Marcum's name and having him sign for him, he could join as a drummer boy. This took place in what was then called Brooks Garden, Virginia.

I've heard tell that on the voyage over from Ireland, an early Marcum made a bow and arrow to shoot the rats on the ship and sold them for 40 cents apiece. Have you heard this?

{Laughter} Never heard nothing about that one. Probably another branch. There's more of them than there is white people.

Tell me about the different Marcum families.
The old Marcum that the McDonald-Marcum took the name from, now they was known as the Bullet-Head Marcums. Now this Kelley Marcum at Kermit, he is one of the old Bullet-Head Marcums. There's five or six groups of them; one of them's the Quill-Back Marcums {laughter}, the Bullet-Heads, the Big-Nose Marcums {More laughter}, the Lick-Skillet Marcums, the Witchy-Wylie Marcums. That's all I know. And we're the Big-Noses. {Laughter all around}"

d. 09/23/1815, Russell, Virginia. Married Mary Rhymer, b. 1741, Russell, Virginia, d. 04/26/1762 Russell, Virginia on 03/01/1759. He was the son of David Marcum and Susanna Cracraft of , Stokes, North Carolina.

Re: Josiah Marcum & McDonald Family--> EXTREMELY interesting!

Interesting story, My mother always told me that her family were not really Marcums, they were McDonalds. I have heard several different stories about the McDonald-Marcums. Would love to figure it out someday. My ggg grandfather was Green Berry Marcum b. 1795 in NC, he lived most of his life in Hawkins COunty, TN and died in 1882 in Scott County, VA.
I can't figure out who is parents were.

Dear Ann,
I was wondering what documentation exists for Catherine as daughter of Richard and Ann Marcum??

When Ann applied for widows pension, after the death of her husband, Catherine was not listed in their family bible.

Richard left a will in Orange Co. and no daughter Catherine was mentioned then either.

Are you sure she was a daughter of Richard and Ann??
I believe Richard had four brothers, and maybe she was a daughter of one his brothers???
Would love to know where she fits it.

Best Regards,
Betty
