Map: Lump Gulch Mining District ABOUT ROBERT MARKS & FAMILY: Robert Marks is a descendant of a long line of pioneers of Jefferson County. His maternal grandfather, Cornelius C. Winslow, arrived in 1864, residing first in the Whitehall area and then moving to the Clancy/Alhambra vicinity around 1880. Bob’s paternal grandfather, Ernest L. Marks, arrived in Boulder around 1892, moving to Clancy in about 1895. Both grandfathers were ranchers that homesteaded in the Clancy area. For more details about Robert Marks & his family history, see Clancy Book (Guenther, 2014) and the Robert Marks Oral History Interviews (2018). ABOUT JESSE WILKINSON: Jesse Wilkinson (1865-1952) arrived in Lump Gulch around 1894, at the height of the silver mining boom. Wilkinson spent the rest of his life (about 50 years), residing at and actively involved in the Lump City and Clancy communities. He was mainly occupied in the mining industry, working for many years as an engineer at the Liverpool Mine in Lump Gulch. He was also Secretary of the Clancy Miner’s Union, Clerk for Clancy School District #1 (see Clancy ORSH documents), and Justice of the Peace in Clancy. (See full biography).
