Marion County was created in 1844 from portions of Alachua, Mosquito (Orange), and Hillsborough counties. Until
1853, Marion County included most of what is now Lake and Sumter counties. The county is named after General Francis
Marion of South Carolina, a guerilla fighter and hero of the American Revolutionary War. Many of the early settlers
of Marion County were from South Carolina.
The county motto is "Kingdom of the Sun."

This Marion County website is available for adoption!
Our goal at Genealogy Trails
is to transcribe and post genealogical source data so that family researchers can track their ancestors through
time, throughout the country.
This Marion County website needs a dedicated host to make this site the best that it can be!

a basic webpage is required)
Join our
mailing lists for researchers looking to connect and share
information. You never know who you might meet and what family data they may share with you -- it could start a
whole new branch of the family!
We also use the mailing lists to announce our website updates. Florida is covered under the South-Eastern Region
Mailing List
Remember to look around at the other
