John,
I am a descendent of William Mark on my mother's side. I believe that William Mark claimed the estate of a Scottish Laird of Drumochrein in Ayrshire (hence Laird Mark). He had 5 daughters and no sons. I read this story in an obituary to Thomas Given, a published poet from Cullybackey/Dunnygarron who was my ggg grandfather (I think) and I believe g grandson of William. I visited my mother yesterday and traced our line back to William Mark. I am writing this from memory as all my notes are at home.
Any more details on William Mark's ancestors would be much appreciated.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Peter
