He is spoken of as a citizen of Hanover. Hanover was later divided into several Counties: New Kent, Hanover, Louisa, and Albemarle. His sons are listed in documents in Albemarle and Louisa Counties.
Hastings Marks, a citizen of Hanover County, Virginia, is proven by his
will dated before 5 Nov 1761, to have been the father of the children listed in
Wood's History, in stead of John. He was probably the son, or grandson, of John
Marks and Elizabeth Hastings. The compiler has made this deduction after much
study, thought and research. Coinciding names and dates have been a
contributing factor in her conclusions, and have made her willing to accept the
fact that Hastings Marks headed the second generation of Marks in this country.
All of the children of Hastings Marks were living prior to the Revolution,
several of them serving in the American Army, that fact alone would prove that
they were not the children of a couple married about 1680.
