I am searching for more info on Marcus Yokley who married Abigail Jane Tooley. I have no birth or death record for Marcus, nor his parents. Abigail was born 12 May 1857 in Monroe Co. Ky. This is where most of the Yokleys are from, and I know that some of the family are buried in the Yokley Cemetary. They had four children together:
John Wesley Yokley, Charlie Yokley, Wiley Yokley, and Cora Yokley. My family starts with John Wesley Yokley who married Mollie Addy Howard. They had 8 children together:
Finley Mark, James Kenneth, Porter Edward, Pearl Oleane, Willie Ottis, Elva Dean, Elle Mae, and Geneva. My great grandfather was Willie Ottis. I have a tree that is current but I do need more info on Marcus. I found some where that we are related to the Marcus or Marques who changed his name from Oakley. If any one out there has any info for me please feel free to email me! I will share with you what I have. We have Yokley family reunions every summer. I am trying to find out as much as I can to take for next year. I am also trying to put together a book on Yokley stories. Any one who is a Yokley know that there are alot of good stories!

I have some information for you about Marcus G. D. Yokley (m. to Abigail Tooley). To begin with, he was born 1856 in Monroe Co., KY. I have more if you'll contact me--it's pretty long and involved to put on the message board.
