TAKEN FROM: Mark Family History by Emma Mark 1930; notes of Virginia

Peiffer, Clio, IA; 2 small histories: one on Mannigan Mark's line and one on

Jonathan Mark's line - author's unknown; Marion County, IA Cemetery Book

1976, Knoxville, IA newspaper obits and Marion County Marriage Records 1845

- 1920.

 

First Generation

 

1. Joseph MARK. Born in Holland.

 

Tradition has it that there where two brothers who came from Holland to

America sometime before the year 1732. How long before that we don't know.

One of these brothers is suppose to have been Joseph Mark, but the name of

the other one isn't known by the family, but many believe it may have been

Matthew Mark. Who this Joseph Mark married is unknown.

What is known is that this Joseph Mark had a son whom he called Joseph Mark

Jr. born in Frederick County, Maryland.

 

Children:

 

2 i. Joseph MARK Jr.

 

Second Generation

 

2. Joseph MARK Jr. Born 1732/1752 in Frederick Co. MD. Died After Apr 1820

in Fayette County, OH Aged 88. Buried in Mark Cemetery. Occupation Farmer.

 

Was a private in Capt. John Rutherford's Company 3rd Class, 4th Battalion of Lancaster

County, Militia, date of enlistment was Oct 28 1779 He and his wife Julia lived in

Frederick County, Maryland, they moved to Huntingdon County, PA after the 1790

census and then to Ross County, OH and on to Fayette County, OH where he died

and is buried. His log house was a little fathur south of his son Peters. He married

again and he and his second wife are buried in the Old Mark Cemetery near Jasper on

the Mark Road, Fayette County, OH.

 

ca 1775 Joseph first married Julia (Maria Juliana) KUNKLE??, GGGG Grandmother, F,

daughter of Gottlieb KUNKLE, M (-ca 1776) & Anna Maria LOWENSTEIN, F (-aft 1776).

Born in York County, PA on 12 Jan 1755. Julia (Maria Juliana) died aft 1805. Christened

on 14 Aug 1757 in Christ Lutheran Church, York, PA. Sponsers: Christian Rupp and wife.

 

Looks like this is a good possibility to be the Julia who married our Joseph Mark.

Need to find some more links showing Joseph in York County.

Third Generation

 

3. Peter MARK. Born 18 (or 25) Feb 1776 in Frederick Co. MD. Died 4 Aug 1854

in Concord Twp., Fayette County, OH. Occupation Farmer.

 

In ca 1799 Peter and Mary moved to Huntington County, Pa. Peter Mark

executed a deed of property in 1804 at Chilicothe, Ohio which at the time

was the capitol of Ohio. Peter next purchased a piece of land on Buck Skin

Creek in 1809. This was in the western part of Ross County, OH, near the

town of South Salem. In 1815 Peter purchased a piece of land on Sugar Creek,

Concord Township, Fayette County, OH and moved onto it. This land was

located about five miles southwest of Washington Count House, OH. June 29

1854 Peter Mark and his son Abner went to the court house where Peter Mark

made his will. Abner was given $300, as his share of the estate. At the time

of the will Peter's health seemed good but on August 4, 1854 at age 78 he

died. He and his wife Mary are buried in the OLD MARK Cemetery. located on

one corner of their farm.

 

Peter was described as a man of rather short stocky built heavy set, fleshy

in his old age. He was a very stern man, determined, stubborn of

disposition, a man who in his younger days had been of great energy. In

later years he was lame and always walked with a cane. The lameness was due

to having fallen from a horse that he was riding, breaking one of his legs.

Since the break was not set right one of the legs was shorter than the

other.

 

In the home Peter was the dominant member, the ruler, the dictator or as one

family member described him "The Boss". After moving into Fayette County, OH

he was converted at a Methodist Camp meeting and joined the Church. Peter's

brothers John, Samuel, and Jonathan were also converted in the same meeting

so that all of the Marks in Fayette County, Ohio became Methodists.

 

Peter brought up a creditable family, giving them the advantage of schooling

which he himself had not been able to receive in his childhood back in

Maryland. All of them could read and write. Occasionally Peter and his wife

Polly held their conversations in *Dutch so their English speaking children

could not understand certain family affairs.

 

*Since Mary was French could it have been French not Dutch they spoke?

 

Polly or Molly was a plump short cherry-faced woman. A homemaker whose

featherbeds were so large and thick a child nearly sunk out of sight in them

and whose pillows were so immense that a child had to almost sit upright to

use one of them.

 

He married Mary (Polly) LEGORE, daughter of John LEGORE & Margaret FUNK.

Born 15 Oct 1780 in Hagarstown, MD. Died 13 Sep 1854 in Fayette Co. Ohio.

18. Abner MARK. Born 10 Jun 1810 in Ross Co. Ohio. Died 25 Jan 1898 in

Mercer County MO. Buried in Freedom Cemetery. Mercer Co. MO. Occupation

Farmer Along IA And MO Border In MO. Religion Baptist.

 

When Abner and Catherine started west they needed a tent so all the family

had a place to sleep, the covered wagon was far from big enough. Aaron was

nineteen, Eliza was seventeen, Marion was fifteen, Ezra was thirteen,

Benjamin was eleven, Sinia was seven, Lathan was four and Anthony was twenty

months.

 

Benjamin remembered the route they took to Iowa, that took them within sight

of Kankakee, IL. They crossed the Mississippi River at Clinton, IA on a

horse drawn ferry and they passed through Iowa City, then the capitol of

Iowa.

 

Abner remained in Marion County, Iowa until the next October when he located

permanently one and one half miles east of Pleasanton, Iowa. In Marion

County, all the good timber land was taken so as soon as his crops were in

Abner started out to see what was available. First he went to Decatur City

where Catherine's brother Rueben Burnett was, and from there he went south

of Pleasanton where his cousin John Mark, was now living. Adjoining cousin

John's land on the east and up against the IA-MO line Abner found a piece of

land that suited him. Accordingly he went to the gov't land office at

Plattsburg in Clinton County, MO and entered 152 acres of this land, paying

$1.25 an acre for it. Next year he had Cyrus Burnett (his wife's brother)

enter forty more acres for him. In order to get the railroad to come through

Pleasanton, Abner donated in 1882, this forty acres, as his contribution to

the "Old Narrow Gauge" railroad ,

 

Before moving, Abner came down from Marion County bringing with him Marion

and Eliza Ann and built a house. This house was built near where the present

(1941) barn stood. It was two log cabins, each about eighteen feet by

sixteen feet, placed eight feet apart and connected by an encased

passageway. The west room was the living room and the east room was the

kitchen. Later the roof of the west room was raised for an upstairs. Still

later about 1866 a frame kitchen was built on the north of the living room.

Around 1872 Abner with the help of his two sons Anthony and Benjamin built a

new frame house. Anthony took over the farm and built two rooms on the east

part of the main house. Abner and Catherine decided a few months later they

would rather live in the two new rooms. In the autumn of 1882 Abner and

Catherine went back to Ohio for a visit. They were married sixty-four years.

 

In appearance Abner Mark was a square, stocky build, not unlike the pictures

of Holland Dutchmen. He wore good roomy tailored jeans, pants coat and vest,

a colored shirt, brown home knitted socks and a William Penn hat. In old age

he walked with a cane. He had reddish brown or sandy colored hair which

never became more than streaked with gray. The reddish hair is suppose to

have been a heritage from his French ancestors. His eyes were blue. In the

prime of his life he was probably 5 feet 10 inches and may have at one time

weighted 180 pounds. He was a man of convictions, firm and sometimes quite

set in his ways. He believed firmly in the signs of the moon and wasn't

afraid to say so in spite of the ridicule of his sons, none of whom cared in

the least what the signs were, when they planted potatoes, sheared sheep, or

did their butchering. Catherine too believed in the signs of the moon.

 

Abner liked to read and kept informed on events of the day. In Ohio the

newspaper in the home was "The Cincinnati Dollar Weekly Times". In the west

this was superseded by "The Chicago Weekly Inter-Ocean". Abner was not a

talkative person, although he talked considerable with Catherine, but not a

great deal with his children when they were young. He had a friendly and

sociable disposition and he never scolded in his family, or seldom whipped.

But if he spoke warningly to the child, that child was expected to obey.

Once only once was a child

remembered to have sassed him. That once by Sinia who was told to do

something which she refused to do. Sinia received a spanking. Lathan was

once spanked severely but the reason for it could not be remembered.

 

Catherine scolded her children in an easy way and to which not much

attention was given. Benjamin remembered that once she spanked one of the

children and on this occasion Abner stood beside her and showed he backed

her up by saying "Lay it on! Lay it on! Lay it on!"

 

Catherine was of a tall, slim, rather angular build, although not especially

graceful. She had blue eyes and very light hair. She said once her hair was

never white with old age that it was always that color. Her house was

scrupulously clean and orderly and she was always a neat person. She was a

most efficient house keeper; every move counted. During the years Abner made

all his own shoes as well as for the family.

 

While his children were growing up, Abner made a barrel of sauerkraut each

autumn. His part in this was to wash and scour his feet very clean, climb

into the barrel and tramp down the kraut while the rest cut and emptied in

the cabbage. He said his feet were as clean for the work as a woman's hands

for making bread.

 

Catherine had many flowers, but as the years passed the flowers began to

disappear. The trees that had been set out began to shade the yard and took

the place of the flowers. As the years passed both began to fail, Abner

noticeably while Catherine continued to knit. When Abner was about fifty

years old lost the sight of one eye due to a whitish growth over the ball.

The growth, which caused him much pain was removed but the sight had been

destroyed. For many years he was considerably deaf so that towards the last

conversation with him became very difficult. also at times, the last year or

two of his life, his mind would wonder off a bit. He was able to get around

the house with his cane until this final sickness. He was sick for only two

weeks, and he died at age 88 . Fourteen months after he died Catherine died,

at age 84. Her mind was clear and had excellent mentality until the end.

About one o'clock p.m. before going into the stupor preceding her death she

perceiving the distressed look on the faces of her assembled children said,

"Don't make any fuss, just put me away." At five p.m. she was gone.

 

He married Catherine BURNETT, daughter of Thomas BURNETT & Rachel BUSH, 11

Dec 1834 in Fayette Co. OH. Born 15 Jan 1815 in Fayette Co. OH. Died 9 Mar
