| Notes: Additional family information provided by grandson, Cleveland Mark, in September of 2014. Family legend tells that a couple named Mark came to Texas with the John W. Young family out of Mississippi in the late 1840's. John W. Young is in the 1850 Houston County [Trinity County] Census, so they arrived prior to that 1850 date. Names of the Marks mentioned are not known, but supposedly they were buried on the west side of Mt. Zion Cemetery. The 1870 Trinity County US Census shows John Mark, with wife Charlotte, daughter Susannah and Rachel Womack in the household. One other Mark family shown in the 1870 census, in close proximity to John Monroe, is Monroe Mark, with wife Marie, and sons John and Lee. [John and Monroe are only 2 years apart in age and probably are brothers, but not proven by compiler.] Also see family group sheet for John Wesley Mark. | ||||
