josiah marcum line

hello, my name is greg barker. according to my 2nd cousin ralph marcum jr.'s book " the descendants of allen j. marcum of dunlow, w. va." josiah is buried on stonecoal rd. about 5 or 6 miles up the road on the right about 20 yards from the road. i looked in this book for the names you listed but did not find them except for a wayne marcum born about 1911 who married laura maynard but no more info about him. there was a listing of josiah's son john c. marcum. john c. marcum descendants by generation were joshua, francis, carter, dewey. but it is very unlikely that each of these descendants only had one son apiece so it may be that your grandfather is a brother to one of these names. as far as possible cemetaries i would check the jacob marcum cemetary in dunlow, w.va., marcum cemetary on tick ridge, dunlow, w. va. or marcum cemetary moses fork.
