Marković was born in Zemun and finished elementary school in the town in 1815, and high school in Sremski Karlovci in 1821.[2] He studied at a university in Austria, and in 1834 he moved to Serbia.[2]
In 1834 he came to live in Kragujevac, then the capital of Serbia. He was a member of the government and the secretary of the Prime Minister's Office from 1835; director of the Prince's Office from 28 September 1837; principal secretary of the Privy Council from 1839; member of the council from 1842 to 1857; Minister of Justice and Minister of Education from 21 December 1854 to 29 May 1856; acting minister for foreign affairs from 29 May to 16 September 1856; minister of justice and education from 16 September 1856 to 19 June 1857; and again minister for foreign affairs from 19 June 1857 to 31 March 1858.[2]
