I am not familiar with the cemeteries and want to take you up on your offer. Can you tell me anything about where John Thompson Marriott might be buried? I show that he died in 1869 and is buried in Ott. I'll be honest. I have never been to this area of Arkansas. I live in California. And I don't even know where Ott is. Marcia Hi Marcia, John Thompson Mariott is buried along side his wife on a hill not far from what used to be the town of Ott. Ott was named after the Mariott family who had a store there. There is an old barn still standing and that is all that is left of Ott. The cemetery is hard to get to. It requires a 4whl drive vehicle and is on private property which requires permission to access. Ott is located on the Arkansas-Missouri border close to Bakersfield, Missouri. The Mariott Cemetery is located in Arkansas and the person that owns the property lives in Howell County, Missouri. He can look out his window and see the cemetery up on the hill. Mariott, John Thompson B Mar 00, 1796 D Oct 06, 1869 Mariott, Mary Matilda Shadrick B May 00, 1817 There are other Mariott people buried there with no markers or marked with field stones.
