Genealogy and biographical sketches, primarily, of the ancestors of Amasa Abraham Marks (1825-1905), and also those --somewhat less extensively-- of his wife Lucy Ann Platt (1824-1888). The Marks patrilineal line in America is traced back to Mordecai Marks of London who came to the Colony of Connecticut in the mid-1720s and settled in Derby. Most of the families had residence or roots in either the New Haven Colony or the Colony of Connecticut.
