The gospel of Mark is thought to have been written by John whose Latin surname was Mark. His mother Mary is mentioned in Acts;
Acts 12:12 So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.
Mark was also believed to be the cousin of Barnabas:
Colossians 4:10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),
Although not an apostle Mark was the companion of the Apostle Paul and also the apostle Peter. The early church recognised Mark as the writer of the Gospel of Mark. Irenaeus said "after the death of Peter and Paul, Mark delivered to us in writing things preached by Peter" -
Irenaeus, Against Heresies, III.i.1
Others, including Papias, Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Origen and Eusibus agree that Mark wrote the gospel. There is no good reason why the early church writers would attribute the book to Mark - a non-apostle - if he did not write it.
