Facts and Events
Name Moses Marcum
Gender Male
Birth[1] Abt 1819 Virginia, United States

He was enumerated next to Hugh and Mahala (Marcum) Kirk in 1850, lending credence to his being the son of Moses, Sr., but it is not clear if there is solid evidence that he was, especially given that Moses, Sr. had a son named Moses born about 1834 (1850 census).

If he was the son of Moses, Sr., and he was born about 1819, he may be the son of his father's first (unknown) wife. Later census records put his birth about 1820, so it is difficult to say.
