Sorry I don't know anything about this family, but I was struck by your ancestor's name "Frances Marion"Do you suppose he could have been born in South Carolina?You don't mention any estimated birth dates.Seems that a lot of pre-civil war southerners named their sons after revolutionary war heroes (e.g., a couple of my ancestors were Benjamin Franklin ... and George Washington..)
Only reason I suggest South Carolina that is that Francis Marion was a Revolutionary War hero from SC - "The Swamp Fox" they called him.There may be no connection, and I have no idea where in SC you might look as I don't know much about this patriot, but . . . .
