WILLIAM MARCUM was born January 26, 1820 in Green County, Ky., where he 
grew to manhood; in 1858 he removed to Grayson County; in 1873 he 
settled in Hart County, and in 1878 he located on the south fork of 
Little Barren River, in Metcalfe County, where he has since resided.  
His father, John Marcum, a native of Virginia, died in Green County, in 
1874, at the age of eighty-four years.  He was the son of Barnett 
Marcum, of Virginia, who died in Boone County, Mo.  John Marcum married 
Mary, daughter of William and Fannie (Woolridge) Vance, of Green County

he married Hariette McCluer of Hart County, and to them have been born 
Elizabeth (Gorin), William D., Mary M., James B., Samuel V., Alexander 
D., and Annie M.  Mr. Marcum, in the commencement of his business career
