Abraham Tower Markle, Sr.
February 20, 1762—January 30, 1841
February 20, 1762, date of birth of Abraham Tower Markle, Sr., from several family trees and the SAR applications of descendants and is consistent with his status as a Revolutionary War veteran.
Family trees showing February 20, 1769, [and marker showing 1770] make him too young for the Revolution.
Several family trees report Abraham's date of death as February 28, 1841, but this is not supported by any document.
Graves registration card; Presbyterian Cemetery on Knoxville Road; Section Old, Grave 11 appears to show February 7, 1841, but the day is too faint.
