Thank you for your website.

I am wondering if you would like a correction. Esther Baker was really born Esther Reed, 1832. The daughter of James Reed or Reid. She married James Baker, who died at Gettysburg. They had one daughter. Esther later married Adam Marion. The marriage certificate is Adam Marion and Esther Baker. But she was a widow.

Sorry, all my information is packed away at home for a couple of years. But this is my recollection of the great grandparents of my husband MELVIN J. MARION.
Also, an addition: Adam and Esther had a daughter Virginia before Robert Lee Marion. Virginia married Green Robertson. She died rather young, leaving at least three living children.

Thank you,

Denise Bascom Marion

It has not been authenticated that Isaac was a son of Bartholomew Marion. If
he was then this family belongs in Bartholomew's line.

Isaac married Anna WHITAKER on 12 May 1831. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

!Marion 0001, Pg. 41 - The 1830 census lists 10 children and the 1850 census
lists 1 child, John, born after the 1830 census. This would be 11 children in
the family. It is evident that 9 children left home before the 1850 census.
The names of the children in this data base were given to Ola Marion Atkinson
by Mary Jane Marion Speas, daughter Adam and Sallie Reeves Marion.

Daniel married Lavina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
