The Benjamin Marks you have located in the census is the brother of my great grandfather, James Marks. Benjamin married Elisabeth Nye, and I believe they had a DLC in Linn County. They moved to Wallowa County where they raised a large family. I understand there are still Marks descendants in the area, although I haven't made contact with any of them.<BR>

Thanks for the info.<BR>
