besides his homestead farm, he owned several other tracts of land, which by his will he divided among his five sons.Burial
According to the record left by "Grandmother Cowperthwaite," Mark died April 3, 1759, aged 67 years, and was buried "in a piece of ground by the new schoolhouse." This piece of ground became the Friends' graveyard at Medford, and many of Mark's descendants are buried there. The exact spot of Mark's last resting place can never be known, but it is greatly to be desired that his many descendants should contribute toward the erection of a tablet in this burial ground (which still belongs to the Friends and is kept in good condition), inscribed with an appropriate inscription to his memory.

Research
There is a contingent of Strattan Descendants that believe he and his brother were actually born to the Webster Family in Market Harborough through research done there. We believe the family took on the alias of Strattan to help avoid religious persecution and/or for marketing their wares.Based on this assumption, we believe Mark was baptized February 27, 1691 in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, England.
