Many of the Mosleys, Howards, Motleys & Ameys married into 
these families between 1873-1956.  Some of theses families 
of Americans of African Heritage came to the Tri-State area 
of Texarkana when it was still Unincorporated.
 
The Mosley  family also grew-up on Laurel Street in Texarkana,
Arkansas and knew  Scott Joplin's("Mr. Ragtimes") family well. 
My Great-Great Uncles Frank Mosley and Mott H. Mosley I both 
knew Scott Joplin as small children and often saw him when 
Joplin visited Texarkana.
 
Sallie (Howard) Mosley and Alexander H. Mosley helped to found 
Cannon Baptist Church on 1008 Laurel Street(Texarkana, Arkansas) 
in 1880. Their Grandson Mott Harold Mosley II became Paster of 
the Church in the 1940's. Shortly thereafter, he also became 
Principal/Administrator of  Booker T. Washington High School. 
In 1986/87 the City celebrated a day in Uncle Mott's honor for 
his dedication to Education/Community in Texarkana, Arkansas.
