William L. Marders was born in King George County, Virginia somewhere around 1826. In 1860, William Marders lived at White Marsh. On April 23, 1861 he voted for secession at Accotink and later enlisted as a private in Company F (the old Fairfax Company), Sixth Virginia Cavalry. He also served with the Signal Corps for the Confederacy. Private Marders died at his home in Fairfax County on October 14, 1867.
