Notes:
                   Martha Ellen was called "L".  Grandpa Evey Dotson always said it was short for
Hell, not Ellen because she was the meanest woman ever born.  In fact she was
believed to be a witch.  The curses she put on people often "came true."  Seems
she got mad at a neighbor once and told him that he and his family would go
straight to hell.  The next morning they found their house had sunk into the
ground several feet.  This was because L was sending them to hell.  (In
actuallity, Arkansas is a region with numerous geological sink holes.  They had
built over one of these....or else Ellen's powers were strong.)  Grandpa said
he never remembers her having a single "nice" day.

in the 1870 census she was listed as attending school
