The name Marquardt was first found in Prussia in the middle ages. Spelling variations are Mark, Marck, Marcker, Marckert, Marquart, Marquard, and more. Indications are the Marquardt family is traditionally farmers for centuries back, and the family crest has shovels, birds, and a helmet. My earliest traceable relative is Hans Marquardt born about 1617 in Winkel, Starkenburg Hessen. My great-great-grandfather was Phillip Marquardt born 6/15/1813 at Hesse Darmstadt and came to America with wife (Barbara Raimund)& family in 1846/1847.
