Misc. Notes
Source indicates Mark and Eva were married in Hunterdon County, NJ. They had eight children. The first child was born in Pennsylvania in 1783, so it appears that Mark and Eva got in their wagon right after the wedding and headed to PA.
It also appears that Mark & Eva made at least one trip back to NJ as one of their middle children was born in NJ, perhaps Eva was visiting her father and the siblings who did not move to PA.
The children of Mark and Eva married into the following families: Taylor, Lawyer, Harley, Smith, Whitehill, Ross and one unknown maiden name.
