Mind if I ask, are you related to the Markers? If so, how?

I've been researching my husband's family since I asked him in 1991 about his
ancestors, he replied, "Know a little of my grandparents, the Markers and
Rivers, but nothing else" so I started a very interesting search and have "tons"
more, including the crossing from Denmark to St. Louis then the trek across
the plains to Salt Lake by Jen P. Marcher, his second wife, Ellen and two
children in 1852. Hope this helps.......

Regards,
Betty Marker

Hello,
I'm looking for any information on James Peter Marker and his wife Mary
Elizabeth Braithwaite Marker. James and Mary moved to Emmett, Idaho in the late
1800's to early 1900's. They bought 40 acres of land and James became a brick
and stone mason. He built alot of business dwellings.
James and Elizabeth were both born in Manti, Sanpete, Utah in the 1860's, and
both died in Boise, Ada, Idaho in the late 1920's.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much.
Mavis Bassett
