Marcus married Temperance "Tempy" Wireman on 29 Sep 1855 in Floyd County, Kentucky, USA. Temperance was born about 1833 in Big Sandy, Floyd County, Kentucky, USA; died on 22 Apr 1859 in Floyd County, Kentucky, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:

The marriage record of Marcus L. George is written in cramped writing and the bride's name is difficult to read. It was transcribed on Ancestry as "Younny Wireman" and is given on a George descendant database (see citation) as "Tempy Wireman," full name Temperance. The latter seems to me much more likely. I read the given name as something like "Tamsy" and the surname as Wireman or Wiseman.

The 1850 Floyd County census enumerates an Abraham Wireman with daughter Temperance, age 17.

Children: Marybee George was born about 1855. 1. Melvin George was born about 1856 in Kentucky, USA; died on 13 Jun 1936 in Grays Harbor County, Washington, USA. Miranda George was born about 1858.
