"Peter Marks...probably lived in Charlottesville, VA, as his business operations were mainly connected with the real estate of the town. In 1779 he was Escheator for the county, and during tyhe Revolution for the confiscation of the property of those who took sides with the British. In 1791 he bought from Mr. Monroe the square on which stood the store of T. J. Norman, his death occurred 1795, and left his affairs greatly complicated, taking several years to straighten them up, in fact part of the above purchase was not finally disposed of until 1830.

"We find mention of another real estate deal of Peter Marks, and President James Monroe, in conveying his town property to Peter Marks, it is recited that he sold to him the 'pine plank and materials deposited thereon, except that which was planed, and the walnut plank, and reserved in the house, room for his furniture and family, until the houses on the farm were ready for occupancy. (Wood's HISTORY OF ALBEMARLE CO., VA, pp. 262-280.)

   p. 16, "Martha Marks and Francis McGee-The McGee name was prominent in Albemarle Co., VA, but is is not known whether Francis McGee was related to them or not. He appears early in the century as having married Martha Marks, daughter of Peter Marks. He purchased the interests of some of the Marks heirs, in Charlottesville, VA, on which was located the old stone house, and exchanged them with James Lewis for the place on Moore's Creek. In 1817 he bought from Dabney and Thomas Skelton, the farm between Ivy and Mechum's Depot, which is still, or rather was in the family in 1900. Francis Mc Gee conducted for many years the old Hardin Tavern, on the Staunton Road.He died in 1846."
