From Marker family history per Darke County Ohio History - 1880, pub by W. H. Beers and Co., Chicago. Page 731.

George Marker, farmer and gunsmith; P. O. Gettysburg; was born in 1830 in Montgomery Co., Ohio; his parents were Jacob and Sarah Marker; Jacob was born in Maryland in 1803, and Sarah in Montgomery Co., Ohio her maiden name was Shively, and she was born in 1809; they came to this county in 1835.
Mr. Marker, the subject of this sketch, was married, in 1852, to Lydia Ebert, who was born in 1835; she was the daughter of William and Mary Ebert, who came from Pennsylvania at a early day; they have had born to them eleven children, eight of whom are now living, viz., Isaac, Luther, Mary Elizabeth, Anna Jane, George Calvin, Dora Margaret, Jacob Wm. and Lewis Hiram.
They located upon the farm there they now reside, containing 55 acres of land, with not a stick of timber cut; cleared out a small piece of land, put up a log cabin, and thus made a foothold to what is now their home, and then continued to work on, clearing up and improving, as time and means would permit, till now they have a good farmhouse, a large fine barn, and other buildings convenient and comfortable, 40 acres cleared and well cultivated.
When he commenced life, he had about $700 and from this start he has accumulated a handsome property by hard labor and industry, which we can place upon the pages of this book as a worthy example to the young and rising generation.
