Mark Twain only married once. He married Olivia Twain (née Langdon) on February 2, 1870 to whom he remained married until her death in 1904. The date 1868 is often confused as being the date of his 'first marriage'. However, this is the year that Olivia originally rejected his first marriage proposal; it is not a wedding year!

When did Samuel Clements begin using his pen name?

If u mean the pen name "Mark Twain", he used it first when he wrote his first book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". He had used many other pen names when he wrote humorous articles for various newpapers. First of all, bad answer. You are probably refering to the year. I am taking this directly from a book I am reading right now: "In 1863, he adopted the pen name by which we know him. 'Mark Twain' is derived from a riverboat expression ("By the mark, twain!"), meaning the water is two fathoms deep, which was a safe depth for the Mississippi steamboats of the time" Twain, Mark. "Mark Twain."The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. 1st. 1997. I may be wrong on publication.
