Dr. Mark Maitland Hukill Submitted by Deborah Musgrove, decendant Dr. Mark Hukill was born in Washington County around 1848 to James Scott and Mary Shannon. He was 22 years when the 1860s census was taken. He was at that time residing in the Sugarloaf Township area. Mark first joined the confederate forces in 1862, but soon was captured and as oral family history tells it, "was presuaded to help the Union" side. It appears Mark received his training during the Civil War. While living in Greenwood, Arkansas Mark became a charter member of the Greenwood Masonic Lodge. He also served as a post master of the town of Greenwood for a time, all the while, serving as a medical doctor. Reconstruction Period in Sebastian county was a harsh period, and with people having little money even to buy food, medical services were almost at a standstill. Mark moved his family from Sebastian County to Garland County and remained there until his death in the 1890s. He is buried at the Greenwood Cemetery in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
