Mark and his wife moved to Guntersville, Alabama, in Marshall County, Alabama, after they married (along with three of his brothers), but it is believed at least three of the four returned to Anderson before the start of the War Between the States.

In the 1900 Census they were living alone in Hopewell Section -- he was 64 and she was 65. None of their children was born in Alabama according to the US Census.
