Later that spring the Marbles left for the Oregon Territory with a party that included Ansil's parents as well as other family members. After their arrival in Oregon, they lived at Portland until 1855 when Ansil filed for a Donation Land Claim in Clark County at Military Road between Vancouver and Salmon Creek. The Marble's son Francis was born during an Indian raid on Fort Vancouver. In 1859, Ansil and his father built a sawmill on Salmon Creek. In 1864 he built a flourmill on Salmon Creek, and operated a successful business until 1883 when a new building was constructed at another site. The mill, the first in Clark County, was located near the present intersection of 134th Street and Salmon Creek Avenue. It had three grinding stones and was powered by the water from Salmon Creek.
