John, Eliza, their eldest son, Robert, and each of their parents were all born in Ireland. All the other Wark children were born in New York. John's occupation was "Horseshoer". Eliza was "Keeping House". Robert was "Working with Father (Horseshoer)". Annie, John Jr., Marther, Samuel and Emma were attending school.

The 1892 New York State Census does not include marital status. John Wark, Sr. is no longer with the family. In the 1890 US Census, Eliza reports she is a "Widow". I have not located a record of death for John Wark, Sr. at this time.
