On Mar 28, 1848 in Stratford, Coos, NH he married Nancy Amy. Her parents aren't known yet. The marriage certificate was made up in 1906 from old records. There is also a marriage certificate for Jan 11, 1849 for them in Stratford. He was 59 years old and she was 39 years.
It is not known if either were married previously. In 1850 they lived in Northumberland, NH; in 1860 they lived in Burke, VT; in 1870 they lived in Cannon, MN in the household of Meltiah & Cyntha Sweatt; in 1875 Mark was deceased and Nancy lived in a Sperry household in Cannan City, MN; in 1880 Nancy was living with Meltiah & Cyntha Sweatt again and was listed as "Aunt". Meltiah was born in VT and Cyntha was born in NH (her maiden name isn't know, but she may have been Nancy's niece).
They did not have any children.
Mark died between the 1870 and 1875 censuses. The death year 1873 above is an approximation, not his actual death year. A death record can't be found. Nancy died in 1883 and has a big headstone here and Mark's name and dates should be on it.
Age: About 83 yrs
