Who Were The Zanesville Mark Grays?

The Zanesville Mark Grays were a independent professional football team that existed from 1916 to 1922. They participated in the inaugural regular season of the National Football League which was called the American Professional Football Association in 1920 by playing the Columbus Panhandles twice. The Mark Grays never joined the APFA. The team played home games in Zanesville, Ohio at Mark Athletic Field. The Mark Greys' history has mostly been lost in time but the team was believed to go 3-1-2 in 1920 only losing to the Columbus Panhandles.

  1. I am a descendent of one of the players on the 1919-1921 Mark Greys and I possess a scrapbook of Zanesville newspaper articles chronicling the team. Do you have any recommendations on where I should submit the information in the book and who might ultimately like to own this artifact permanently?
