Joyce, your name Mottern is awfully close to Moten. I've only seen the name Moten before. Wonder if there's any connection? Using Soundex there probably is.

I have Kizziah Mottern who married William Glover, she was born 1825, died 1903. Don't know who her parents were. Anyone out there who could help? Thanks, Joyce Glover
