From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mark
      the evangelist; "John whose surname was Mark" (Acts 12:12, 25).
      Mark (Marcus, Col. 4:10, etc.) was his Roman name, which
      gradually came to supersede his Jewish name John. He is called
      John in Acts 13:5, 13, and Mark in 15:39, 2 Tim. 4:11, etc.
     
         He was the son of Mary, a woman apparently of some means and
      influence, and was probably born in Jerusalem, where his mother
      resided (Acts 12:12). Of his father we know nothing. He was
      cousin of Barnabas (Col. 4:10). It was in his mother's house
      that Peter found "many gathered together praying" when he was
      released from prison; and it is probable that it was here that
      he was converted by Peter, who calls him his "son" (1 Pet.
      5:13). It is probable that the "young man" spoken of in Mark
      14:51, 52 was Mark himself. He is first mentioned in Acts 12:25.
      He went with Paul and Barnabas on their first journey (about
      A.D. 47) as their "minister," but from some cause turned back
      when they reached Perga in Pamphylia (Acts 12:25; 13:13). Three
      years afterwards a "sharp contention" arose between Paul and
      Barnabas (15:36-40), because Paul would not take Mark with him.
      He, however, was evidently at length reconciled to the apostle,
      for he was with him in his first imprisonment at Rome (Col.
      4:10; Philemon 1:24). At a later period he was with Peter in
      Babylon (1 Pet. 5:13), then, and for some centuries afterwards,
      one of the chief seats of Jewish learning; and he was with
      Timothy in Ephesus when Paul wrote him during his second
      imprisonment (2 Tim. 4:11). He then disappears from view.
