"My father was William Marmon. He was born and raised in Virginia in or about Fredericksburg. His parents were of English decent and mother was born in County Cork, Ireland. She was a daughter of Jerry O'Riley. He was a land holder in that county. His family was three daughters-Margaret, Polly and Caty. He had 75 or more laborers or tenants on his land and Margaret O'Riley was married to Mr. James Giles of the same state and county.
