Jacobus A Merkle (markle) - Jacobus A Merkle

@Abraham Markle, Sr is a lineage I have invested some time in trying to establish with firmer historical references then were previously reported. I have made public my findings made by family researchers far more skilled than I. This is a long-standing family tree - one that preceded me. And while there questions: my principal one concerns the fact there appear to have been two men with shared names who were contemporaries (so which is which) I have nothing concrete so as to nullify those genealogies. I have noted my queries on the above profile.

You are correct to state that there were two Abraham Markles who lived in Ontario, Canada who were contemporaries. One was Abraham who was born in Ulster, New York, USA in 1770 and died in Fort Harrison, Otter Creek, Vigo, Indiana, USA in 1826 (See under www.worldfamilies.net /surnames/markle in section under Markle family group Merckel-Alman (Ulster County). The other was Abraham who was born in Pennsylvania around 1758 and died in Ontario, Canada in 1834. The latter was Andrew Markle's father and my 3X great grandfather.
