I can't remember where the Oregon 1850 Census is or I would look there too.

Carol,

Yes, my Marks family is related to the Benjamin Marks family that went to
Wallowa County!  I have seen the article an article in that family in the
Wallowa history book.  In fact, that book was where we first got info
attaching our great-grandfather, James P. Marks, to his Oregon Trail
parents, Bluford and Martha.

James P. Marks was a brother to Benjamin Marks.  Benjamin settled on the
Imnaha River very early, I understand, and it sounds as though there are
many descendants there.  James P. left eastern Oregon around 1880 for
Wyoming and then Montana.  The family lost touch with its Oregon branches.

If you are descended from this Marks family, then we are distant cousins!
I'd love to hear back from you.
