Any Marions in Botetourt Co, VA?
Hello:
I have been looking for years (without success) for Marions in Botetourt Co, VA in an attempt to find the ancestry of my ancestor Christopher Marion.He was born about 1788, possibly in Botetourt Co, VA and died 1870 in Mt. Cove Township, Fayette Co, WV.He was married to Sarah Woodson (1795-1858) and they had the following children:
1. Eliza Jane Marion b. ca. 1817 Botetourt Co, VA; m. 12 Oct 1843 to Harvey Kincaid
2. Nathan Shadrach Marion b. 1818 Botetourt Co, VA, d. 1886 Kanawha Co, WV; md. Martha Ann Cook
3. David Marion b. 1823 Botetourt Co, VA, d. before 1860 Kanawha Co, VA; md. Elizabeth Martin
4. Philip Marion b. 1824 Botetourt Co, VA, d. Greenbrier Co, VA; md. 1st Levisa Murphy, 2nd Diana (mnu)
5. Letitia Marion m. 3 Jun 1847 in Fayette Co, VA to William Bowyer
6. Emmaline Marion b. 1830, m. 22 Nov 1856 Nicholas Co. to Joseph M. Amick
7. Francis Marion b. 1834 Fayette Co, m. 21 July 1851 in Raleigh Co. to Mary Lusher
8. Lucy J. Marion b. 1842 Fayette Co
Christopher Marion's parents might have been Frederick Marion and Barbary Smith, but I have no proof of this.I have always been told by my family that these Marions originated in SC and were of the same family as General Francis Marion, known as the Swamp Fox, of Revolutionary War fame.I can't seem to make the connection, however.Any information on what family Christopher Marion belongs to would be greatly appreciated.I have lots of information on Marion descendants in WV.
Thanks in advance,
Best,
Courtney E. Shinaberry
