I.
I. Marcoff
Only
one (the third, Irakly Ivanovich) out of the three Marcoff (Mîðêîâ)
brothers that obtained the title of count had male descendants.
1.
Count
Nikolay Ivanovich married to Praskovia Vasil’evena Skvortsova
and only had two daughters:
-Countess Praskovia Nikolaevna Morkova († 14th July 1832), buried in Moscow at the Vagan’kovo Cemetery. Married to Prince Andrey Mikhailovich Obolensky (19th January 1765 † 4th August 1830) buried with his wife and son.

Consequently the title of count was lost in this line.

Count Irakly Ivanovich was the last and only brother
to have male descendants; accordingly with some
information he married countess Von Munnich around late 1793 or early
1794. Probably 1793 was the right year as on July 20th 1795 she had the
second (girl) descendant. The sons were:
-Count Irakly Iraklievich (b 1794 † 1841) he was an orderly to General Prince Bagration during the Battle of Borodino 1812 <1812 war in images>; He was taken as noblemen of Moscow and assigned to Cossack regiment under command of general Talyzin in rank of ex. Ensign. On the previous days of the big battle near Borodino (24-26th August 1812) was sent to the most dangerous places to deliver orders of general of infantry Prince Bragation. On August 29th, he was promoted to the rank of Ensign. En 1813 count Irakly Iraklievich participated in the battle for Modlyn fortress, attacking enemies up to Klish. He was in the militia till its dismissal. He could not join the army after dismissal due to illness. Count Irakly Iraklievich could read and write in Russian, French, German, Italian and Polish. He studied history, geography, mathematics, drawings and fortifications.

There is documented reference of being assigned to Tiflis to the army commander in Georgia lieutenant-general Veyaminov to be asigned to Nizhegorod dragoon regiment. He retired in 1826 with the rank of Lieutenant; inscribed in the registers of the nobility of Moscow, 1834; Unmarried.
-Count
Nikolay Iraklievich (b .. 1798 † ... 1818?) He also participated
in the Battle
of Borodino 1812.
Married in total secret to Victoria from Guernsey Island. (Due to secret
marriage in some biographies he is referred to as single). Nikolay and
Victoria had only one son Joseph who left
Russia moving to Spain when very young. This is the origin of the Spanish
line. Nikolay Iraklievich was buried under the altar of Kukavka
church (//)

-Count
Arkady Iraklievich (b 14th January 1802) Baptized on the 26 of

December 1831.
Served
in St. Petersburg Oulan Regiment and owned lands in Podonia, Vladimiskaya

the family that remained in the Russian Empire. Children:
Nadezhda, Vladimir, Mikhail, Irakly, Dmitry,
Alexander, Nikolay.
Count Irakly Ivanovich also had several daughters:
-Countess Iraklia (Vera*) Iraklieva Morkova (20th July 1795 † 18th May 1863), married to Vasily Mikhailovich Shonurov (29th May 1779 † 22th January 1833), son of Mikhail NN. Shonurov and NN; A very questionable reference (*) (1956) indicates that Iraklia existed and was buried with her husband and Count Irakly Ivanovich Morkov at the Vagan’kovo Cemetery in Moscow. After her husband’s death become nun and consequently changed her name (see **).

Paulovich Chernyshev, son of Pavel NN Chernyshev and NN, Colonel of the
Horse Guards. Natalia inherited big Kukavka after the death of her brother
Nikolay I. (//) She also became a nun consequently she changed her name

Countess
Flora Iraklieva Morkova († 28th February 1882) aged 82. Same very
questionable reference above (*) (1956) indicates that she existed and
was buried with her father at the Vagankov Cemetery in Moscow, Mother
superior at Nikitskoe Convent in Moscow.
Two more daughters of Irakly Ivanovich: Varvara (b circa 1802). Little Kukavka together with Count's villa was given to her and her husband (//) and Maria (b 1806) buried at family crypt in Kukavka.

(*)
Historical Magazine, issued by the Russian Historical Society in the United
States (Editor N.D. Pleshko 1956). However, (Vera (22) but not Iraklia
appears in 1818
confession book. (Birth year of both (if different) around 1795). Natalia
(18), Varvara (16) and Maria (12) are also mentioned together with brothers
Irakly (23), Nikolay (19) and Arkady (14). Flora is not mentioned. (Again
Flora and Natalia share same birth year (1800) Source <Confession list
of Nikitsky sorok for year 1818 (Central Historic Archive 203, Inventory
747, file 929)>
(**)
A very plausible explanation for the apparent absence of the names of
two daughters of Count Irakly Ivanovich (Iraklia and Flora) in old references
(such as Confession list above) is that, accordingly with Russian Orthodox
Church tradition, once a woman became nun she changed her name. Consequently
names could be initially Vera for Iraklia (born circa 1795) and Natalia
for Flora (born circa 1800)*.
