My great grandmother was either born in Marked Tree Arkansas or lived there when my grandfather and his twin brother was born. She passed away in 1978, but I remember her talking about Marked Tree, where she put her newborn twins in a flat boat and started up stream to meet my great grandfather in Kentucky. My grandfather's twin died when he was just a few days old and she buried him on the river bank somewhere in the Marked Tree area. She never went back home, and to my knowledge my grandfather, my dad or his siblings never knew where Albert was buried, or very much about where grandma was from. Is there is anyone out there who remembers the Mott family or have heard of Ethel Mae Mott who married Ben Oakley from Kentucky?
