General Notes: Husband - Andrew Jackson Marks


He followed farming, but also engaged in the manufacture of plows for a year. He came to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1869 from West Virginia, and spent the remaining portion of his life on the farm in Brighton township.

He was an educated and well-read man, particularly gifted with mathematical ability, although from boyhood until death he engaged in business as an agriculturist. After his marriage he engaged with his father-in-law, Robert Hall, in the manufacture of plows in Pittsburgh for a time, then purchased a small farm in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on which he resided until death. This farm, located on Tuscarora Road, consisted of one hundred and thirty-four acres, which was largely devoted to fruit culture of all kinds. While residing on the farm he also, for a time, conducted a pottery at East Liverpool, Ohio. He cared more, however, for his fruit trees and farm than for the pottery business, selling out the latter and devoting himself entirely to the former. He was an ardent Republican, and both he and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church.


General Notes: Wife - Sarah A. Hall


She was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, but at the time of her marriage was living in Pittsburgh.
