• Name	Marcellus Yoakum

  Gender	Male
  Death	1 Dec 1910	Claiborne Co, Tennessee
  Burial	Yoakum Cem, Speedwell, Claiborne Co, Tennessee
  Notes	He had several wives. I do not yet know which children belong to which wife. Marsillis had a large rectangular tomb with a slab top and kept his meat hidden there during the Civil War to keep the Army from confiscating it. Earl Quintrell says he died 1 Dec 1900. Called Marshall on 1870 census. Judah: She was previously married to Daniel W. Ellis or Ellison. There is a Josire Bullard age 20 born Tennessee and George W. Dotson age 35 born Tennessee living with them on the 1880 census. Genforum Yoakum message 468 by Charlie Harrell states. I don't know a lot about Nancy, but I'd like to. I know she and my g-grandfather ( Josiah Catron Yoakum, AKA Joe, AKA Doc) were the only two children of Marcellus third wife (Judy Gibson). Which means they had lots of half brothers and half sisters, but only one another as full siblings. Doc was the baby of the family, and Nancy was a couple of years older. (Marcellus married a fourth time, but there were no children out of that marriage). Doc died three months before I was born, so I never met him. But I did meet his wife (Martha Lynch) a short time before she died. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=arick-senecal&id=I3791
