WILLIAM MARKHAM was born in England, July 6, 1817, a son of John Markham, who 
came to the United States in 1823 and located near Ithaca, New York, whence the 
family removed to Deerfield township, Tioga county, Pennsylvania. John Markham was 
one of the early settlers of Deerfield, where he cleared a farm of over 200 acres. 
Towards the close of his life he removed to Knoxville and died at the age of eighty-
five years. He was twice married. His second wife was Mrs. Catharine Cornell, nee 
Quick. He reared five children: Samuel, William, George, Thomas, and Ann, who 
married Thomas Kymes. The subject of this sketch grew to manhood in Deerfield 
township, where he was engaged in farming, and also worked at the carpenter’s trade 
for many years. During the Civil War, he carried on a hardware store in Knoxville, in 
company with Giles Roberts. His wife, Betsey, was a daughter of Benjamin and Anna 
(Baker) Giles, of Deerfield, and bore him four children, viz: Mary A., wife of William 
Morse; Albert, Charles D., and Sophronia, wife of Guy R. Kelts. Mr. Markham died on 
July 12, 1883, from injuries received by falling from a scaffold. He was a member of 
the Christian church, and in politics, a Republican.
