He married MARY ELIZABETH MOREHEAD 20 Jun 1850 in Jackson County, Virginia (Source: Marriage Record Jackson County VA/WV 1850), daughter of ARMISTEAD MOREHEAD and TACY RICHARDS.

Notes for MARK CUSTER, JR.:
      1850 Census Jackson County, VA/WV: 180-184 Mark Custer Age 21 occupation Miller, born in PA wife Mary E. age 17 born in Virginia. Next on Census is 181-185 Mark Custer, Sr. occupation Miller born in PA and David age 16 occupation Miller. Then 186 John Custer occupation Miller born Virginia wife Charlotte age 33 born VA, Melissa age 7, George age 6, Sylvester age 5 all born in VA.
      1860 Census Jackson County, VA/WV p. 124: 848-802 CUSTER, Mark age 32 Farm Laborer personal estate value $75. born in PA, wife, Mary E. age 27 born in VA, L.L. male age 9, Theodore and Commodore males age 7 twins, A.M. male age 4, M.H. male age 7 months, (all born in Jackson County) and also Elmore RICHARDS male age 25 farm laborer born VA.
      From John Houses' "History of Jackson County" page 250: "Mark Custer married Elizabeth Morehead,
daughter of Armistead Morehead. He lived on Island Run and on Copper Fork. He died in 1863. He had a son, Henry Custer. Miss M. Custer, who married Thomas McFarland was his daughter. Thomas W. McFarland was a son of one Robert McFarland. He lived on Trace Fork, in 1852, and for several years after, then moved to Big Lick, where he bought two hundred thirty acres of land. He lived there a year and then went to Mark Custer's, on Island Run, where he died before the war. His widow moved back to the farm, where she lived during the war. Afterward she married Chapman Grant." This is the only record I have found of Mark Custer, Jr's death. Miss M. Custer referred to in the history is Margaret Custer, daughter of Mark Custer, Sr.

Notes for MARY ELIZABETH MOREHEAD:
      1880 Census Jackson County West Virginia lists H. H. Sutton age 47, Mary E. age 47, Wesley C. age 8, Albert M. age 6, and V. Morehead age 16.
      1900 Census Jackson County West Virginia lists Henry H. Sutton age 72 born Dec 1827 in Ohio, Mary E. age 67 born May 1833 in West Virginia.
      Henry H. Sutton died in 1906 in Jackson County age 76 Widower; so, Mary Elizabeth must have died 1900-1906 in Jackson County.
