number of legal and other works, and his share in the under-

Markham (Gervase), 1568 (?)-1637 
Gervase (or Jervis) Markham is thought to have been 
born about 1568, and was the third son of Robert Markham, 
1 He relates the usual fable, and cites Volateranus as asserting that it was “ Platea, 
the Shoueler ” [ = the Spoonbill], “ but other do not herein agree.”
