My email is edwardcochran3@hotmail.com if anyone has any other info to share... I'd done a bunch of research a few years ago I can probably dig up.

Marden Asher Hamby

wmd53 — 2010-12-28 21:32:12Z

I am looking to solve a Surname puzzle between 1850 and 1860 for my 2nd great-grandmother Edie Asher b.16 May 1847 d. 27 Mar 1907 that will lead me to my 3rd great-grandmother Lottie as written in the family Bible. The names of the children have changed and I can't figure out why. Here are the two Census records:

1850 United States Federal Census
Name: Charlotte Marden
Age: 36
Estimated birth year: abt 1814
Birth Place: North Carolina
Gender: Female
Home in 1850 (City,County,State): Subdivision 19, Morgan, Tennessee
Family Number: 370
Household Members: Name Age
Charlotte Marden 36
James Marden 7
Phebe Marden 6
Edy Marden 3

1860 United States Federal Census
Name: Eada Asher
Age in 1860: 12
Birth Year: abt 1848
Birthplace: Tennessee
Home in 1860: District 4, Morgan, Tennessee
Gender: Female
Post Office: Morgan Court House
Household Members:
Name Age
Eady Hamly 75
Charlotte Maden 36
John Marden 23
James Asher 17
Phoebe Asher 14
Eada Asher 12

Why were the children's names changed to Asher? Is Maden or Marden supposed to be Martin as listed in this marriage?

Re: William MARDEN & Jane ROBERTS m. 1829 London

William died in 1841. Jane remarried.
Recently found out William & Jane had a daughter, Emily
Tamar Mary Marden. (She stayed in England).
It is very likely that William did not originally come from London (where he was a green grocer). I am thinking there could be a connection between the East Grinstead Mardens (as they were also grocers).

Re: JOHN MARDEN -from Camden NSW, Aulstralia

KatrinaLouiseLink — 2010-07-25 02:45:06Z

I used to think that my Marden line in NSW was nt connected to any others. Now that I have some additional information, I am thinking that there may be a connection.

My 2x great grandfather, George John Roberts Marden, son of William Marden & Jane Roberts, moved to NSW at age 15/16 in 1848. I have found out that George had an older sister named Emily Tamar Mary Marden. (Since George's name Roberts is the maiden name of his mother, I feel that the name Tamar might be a clue to the George's family.) I see that your Marden in Australia also had the name Tamar. (I think this is too much of a coincidence....
I would like to share information with you if you feel we are connected.

Charles Marden rescues woman, 1878

SharonTMSI — 2008-11-13 03:03:19Z

Cincinnati Daily Gazette (Cincinnati, Ohio)
August 13, 1878

One of the inmates of the Central Lunatic Asylum created an intense furor at the institution last week, and her life was saved only by the imminent peril of her rescuer. A female patient was brought to the institution Friday afternoon, and assigned to Ward No. 3, which is situated on the third floor of the first north wing. There are five windows on the north end of the ward, three central ones and one at each extreme side; they are protected by iron bars outside of the sash, secured to the brick. The space by measurement between the bars is five and three-fourth inches. During warm weather the windows are raised, and these bars prevent the patients from jumping out. Between the three central windows is a blind window – i. e., the shape of a window is made in the brick wall by leaving out the outside layer of bricks; this blind window is about two feet from and parallel with the central windows. This patient, in some unaccountable manner, succeeded in making an exit through this five and three-fourths inch plate between the bars, and worked herself over and hung on to the sill of the blind window with her fingers. She was immediately discovered and the alarm given. Mattresses, etc., were placed on the ground beneath her and the victim requested to drop. But she would not drop. I the meantime a ladder was procured from the rear of the institution and placed in position; its top no sooner struck the wall than Charles Marden was at its topmost rung. The ladder unfortunately only reached to the bottom of the second story, fifteen or twenty feet intervening between him and the patient. Not daunted, however, Marden in some unexplainable manner, ascended the bars on the second story window and scaled the intervening wall, at one time sustaining himself by his finger tips, at others with his toes on the slight projections of brick that ornament the sides and top of the windows. He reached the patient and managed to secure a rope around her waist that was dropped down from above. In the meantime the crowd below were gazing spellbound at Marden’s successful efforts, occasionally giving faint expressions of their wonder and amazement at his daring bravery. He was let down by the same rope to the ladder supporting the patient and protecting her from the wall.

Calamity Jane used name of Frank Marden, 1877

SharonTMSI — 2008-11-07 03:38:32Z

Deseret Evening News (Salt Lake City, Utah)
August 16, 1877

The Adventures of A Remarkable Frontier Character.

The return of the well-known frontiers-woman, “Calamity Jane,” to Cheyenne, which took place yesterday, was one of the few events of a dully, sultry July day. She is known by all the old settlers from Texas to the Black Hills and from the Missouri to the Pacific slope. Any yet how few in the Rocky Mountain region know her real history. In conversation last night at the Inter-Ocean, with Dr. A. R. Hendricks, of Des Moines, Iowa, the peculiarities of the West and some of the old characters to be found here were discussed, and Calamity Jane’s name was mentioned.

“Why,” said Dr. Hendricks, “I was acquainted with her in Iowa, and knew her people well. Before I came West I learned that she had acquired the soubriquet by which she is now known.”

The Sun reporter asked him to relate what he knew of her early history, with which request the Doctor complied, and is in substance as follows—

Calamity Jane, whose real name is Jane Coombs, was born at Burlington, Iowa, in 1847, and is therefore now about thirty years of age. She is the youngest of a family of four children, two boys, and two girls. The father, B. W. Coombs, now dead, was for many years pastor of the First Baptist Church of Burlington. In 1862 she fell desperately in love with a young man who was, with herself, a member of her father’s church, and engagement followed. The father looked with favor upon the proposed marriage, but the mother, alas, had conceived a hearty dislike for the young man, and forbade him the house. All efforts at reconciliation failed, and the young couple, under cover of darkness of a bitter winter’s night, fled from their paternal roofs and from the state of their birth. The young man, whose name was Washburne, took Miss Coombs to Galesburg, Ill., and there they were married.

Leaving his wife, a young girl not yet sixteen, in that city, Washburne entered the 6th Infantry as a private soldier, and finally rose by gradual promotion to a Captaincy. At the battle of Mill Springs, Ky., with Gen. Zollicoffer’s forces, and in which that gallant Confederate officer fell, Washburne sealed his devotion with his blood. As soon as Mrs. Washburne, now known as Calamity Jane, heard of his death, she resolved to avenge it. Leaving Galesburg about the beginning of 1863, she donned male attire and entered the Union army as a scout and spy, serving in that capacity until the close of the war in 1865. A portion of the time she carried a musket, and was in three of the severest engagements, finally marching with Tecumseh Sherman to the sea and back again, and stacking her musket within the shadow of the Nation’s capital. It was not until after the war that her sex was discovered.

In the army she passed by the name of FRANK MARDEN. At the close of the war, like Othello, her occupation was gone. She drifted to Texas, and there, attired in male clothing, hunted the wild horse with the lasso, becoming quite expert in that line. Since going to the Lone Star State in 1866 she has traveled all over the States and Territories west of the Missouri River, and her name is as well known to the frontiersman as are those of Wild Bill, Texas Jack or Buffalo Bill. She has hunted the red man of the plains, and the buffalo; served as a guide to inexperienced miners and trappers and dresses in buckskin from top to toe in great portion of her time. She is one of the best horseback riders in the west, plays a good game of cards or billiards, and is at all times competent to get away with her allowance of spiritual sustenance. Altogether she is a remarkable subject for the basis of a novel in the hands of Ned Buntline, Dr. Beadle or Sylvanus Cobb.

Local Matters

Mr. Jesse Marden, a highly respected and well-known citizen, who had been engaged in the manufacture of patent scales in Baltimore for over forty years at the corner of Charles and Balder___ streets, died on Saturday afternoon at his late residence, No. 128 East Baltimore street, aged 71 years. He was in usual good health until Tuesday last, when he was seized with illness at his farm, Brooklandville, Baltimore county. Mr. Marden was born at Rye, near Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and come to Baltimore forty-three years ago. He established himself in the business of manufacture of scales of all kinds, form those used by apothecaries up to the largest railroad scales, being about the first to engage in the manufacturing business here. Mr. Marden was always a warm friend of The Sun and claimed to be its first subscriber and the first advertiser in its columns. An advertisement of Mr. Marden’s business appears in the first issue of The Sun. He was closely identified with the advancement of Baltimore – through his exertions, in co-operation with others, Broadway was made a wide avenue from Baltimore street to Gay street.

Mr. Marden was one of the building committee of the Maryland institute, also of the Universalist church on East Baltimore street, to which he gave part of the ground. He was a modest, retiring gentleman, and although a true believer in the political doctrines of Jefferson and Jackson, took no active part in politics. At the call of his constituents, Mr. Marden was elected a member of the second branch of the city council from the third and fourth wards, when George Wm. Brown was mayor, where he served with credit. On July 25, 1862, at the suggestion of Major General Wool, military commander, Mr. Marden and eight other members of the second branch resigned their positions because of their refusal to _____ on an ordinance passed by the first branch, known as the “bunny bill.” He was a member of Washington Lodge and Jerusalem Encampment of Odd Fellows. Mr. Marden was strictly and honest man in every sense of the word, respected and esteemed by all those who knew him. He leaves a widow, two sons, four daughters and twenty-one grandchildren.

Mrs. Caroline Marden died yesterday, while undergoing the operation of amputation of one of her legs, which, after five years of pain, turned to mortification. It had been reduced to a certainty that she could not live many days with the diseased limb, and that there was a bare chance that she might live after amputation.
