Residing in Toboyne and Tyrone Townships which are now part of Perry County. Sometime during 1814, they moved to the Curwensville area of Clearfield County, PA. He was a miller by trade and operated the Ogden Grist Mill, the first ones of its type in the county. North America Refractoroes is presently on the site where the mill once stood. A short time after coming to the county, Mark built a log house in Curwensville. The house was probably on State Street between Thompson and Locuse (near the mouth of Roaring Run). This is now the site of Lininger Funeral Home (1959). Mark was one of the four elders at the organization of Pike Presbyterian Congregation at McClures Cemetery in 1822/23 (Pike Township).
