From Dolores Kinsey:
I just ran across your Myatt blog site and was reading the story about the picture-taking trip, which included pictures of a Myatt cemetery.

It reminded me of a cemetery here in Texas that has some Myatt gravestones. It's called Mustang Prairie Cemetery. Some of the Myatts that I recall being there are: William Henry Myatt 1834-1904, his 3rd wife Nannie Havens, Nannie's daughter Frankie Havens, and their daughter Annie Eliza 1882-1971 were all buried at Mustang Prairie Cemetery, between Kosse and Bremond, Texas, in Falls County. William Henry was son of Mark Myatt (not Mark Alvis Myatt) and Annie Thomeson. Annie Eliza married John William Yates, only one of the Myatt/Yates connections. Members of the Yates family are also buried at Mustang Prairie.
In addition to William Henry Myatt and his line, his brother Marquis d'Lafayette Myatt's son Braxton Myatt and Braxton's wife Virginia Pearlee "Jinnie" Rhodes are there with headstones.
Marquis d'Lafayette Myatt was my great-grandfather through his daughter Julia Ann Myatt who m. John Joel Haltom. I have not been able to find Lafayette's gravesite. There is a fair-sized, rough rock next to Braxton's grave, seemingly marking some gravesite. I'm thinking it might be that of Lafayette Myatt. This is a mystery that I'd love to solve.

There were at least 3 Mark Myatts: one Mark Myatt was son of old John Miot/Myatt. Then there was Mark Alvas Myatt; I believe he was son of the previously mentioned Mark.
Then there was Mark Myatt, who was the son of Alexander Myatt who was son of old John Miot/Myatt. This Mark Myatt had no known middle name.
Confusing is the fact that both Mark Alvas Myatt and Mark (no middle name) Myatt both lived in Alabama in 1830 census, but in different counties.
