Sign on the cemetery fence reads "Markwell Cemetery: From the days of the pioneers, The early 17th Century" List read by Mary L. and Remo P. Sabetti on November 1, 1980 Copied to me by Betty Markwell, who copied this list in the Louisville Public Library on June 19, 1995. Betty and I are descended from George Markwell b. 1751 in Maryland, who was married to Jane Ray b. 1776. George and his two brothers, William French and John, came down the Ohio River from Maryland to Kentucky between 1773 and 1790. George came to Mt. Washington. George's father was William Markwell b. 1724 in Maryland. George's homestead stills exist today, but is in ruin. Betty makes arrangements each year to keep the cemetery cleaned up. I have more detailed information on most of these people if anyone needs it. George Andrew Markwell, Sr. b. 1751 d. December 11, 1828 Jane (Ray) Markwell . 1756 d.
