- Montgomery Church was founded in 1719 by Welsh people, and services
were probably done in Welsh. Thus it seems likely that John Marks was
born in Wales or to Welsh speaking immigrants. However, neither his place
of birth or parents are known. The Thursday,July 15, 1954 copy of "The
Blue Ridge Herald" contained a long biographical sketch entitled "The
Rev. John Marks Roused The Loudon Countryside to WarfareAgainst the
British," by J. V. Nichols.
It says he [J. Marks] was probably born in Bucks Co., PA, in 1716, and
died on the farm now [1954] owned by Mrs.O.L. Williams, near Round Hill
[VA] in 1788. It says that nothing is known of his parentage, his
education, his training for the ministry or when or where he was ordained
as a minister in the Baptist Church. It goes on to say:
" In 1761 he removed from PA to the western part of Loudon Co., VA with
his family - his wife, five boys, and three girls. Since John Garrard,
the second minister to serve Ketoctin Church, had returned to Mill Creek
in the ShenandoahValley, Marks became the Pastor of this church. He
served for 24 years or until 1785 when his failing health forced him to
relinquish his ministerial duties. Our land records show that in 1762 he
purchased from Ephriam Thomas, Bucks Co. PA, for the sum of fifty pounds
sterling a farm of 150 acres, here he lived the rest of his life. The
house in which he live is still standing [1954]."
Another part of the article states:
" At this point it may be of interest to note what Robert B. Semple in
his 'History of the Rise and Progress ofthe Baptists in VA' published in
1810, has to say of the Reverend John Marks: 'As a preacher he was sound
and sensible, yet
