I found a small private cemetery in Shippingport
Pa. There was a grave marker for Samson Marker and his wife. The cemetery
where these stones are located was a private cemetery owned by a Christler
family. The cemetery is located on the property of First Energy Co. between
the Beaver Valley and Bruce Mansfield power stations.

It appears that
the Markers on the 1850 census were probably the sons of the Samson Marker
who's wife is in
that cemetery. I found Sampson Jr. on the 1880 census in Carrol Co., MO.

Caution

cause or provocation, I therefore forewarn all persons from haboring or
trusting her on my account, as I am determined to pay no debts of her
contracting from this date. Samson MARKER Oct. 24, 1833
