I just read this old (2003) message about a MARCUS FOLLOWELL of Kentucky. My mother's grandfather was William Montgomery BUT it was rumored in the family that this was not his real name. His real name was said to be WILLIAM MARCUS FOLLOWELL and it was believed that he was born in Casey County, Kentucky. The rumor had that he changed his name because he was running from lawmen in Kentucky and that he had killed two people. He eventually settled in Crossville, Tennessee. I don't know if this story is true or not but have tried to find information on a Marcus Followell in Kentucky and was excited to see this post.
