General Notes: Husband - David Mark

---

He was born in Lebanon (then Lancaster) County, Pennsylvania, and was married there. He removed to Centre County in 1800, settling in Gregg township on a homestead, which he cleared and improved. At one time he owned more than 230 acres, but later he sold all but 108 acres, and finally reduced his holdings to seventy-five acres. He was a large man, active both mentally and physically, and had remarkable ability as a mechanic, which was, however, never developed by training. He engaged in different trades and seemed equally successful in all, though he probably did more work in blacksmithing and shoemaking than in any other line. After removing to his new home he espoused the doctrines of the Democratic party, which he continued to hold during the rest of his life. He was an active member of the Evangelical Church at Millheim, founded in 1806, and was one of the first four members of the class connected with the society.
