Mark was a Black man enslaved by Captain John Codman (1696–1755) of Massachusetts in Charlestown, Boston 20 years before the American Revolutionary War. Though some texts refer to Mark as "Mark Codman", he was probably not referred to as such during his life, as giving an enslaved person the surname of his enslaver was not commonly done in New England. The contemporary documents from the investigation and trial only use Mark for his name.
