Very interesting. I am looking for information on my grandmother: Hattie Hamblin. She
lived her life in Boynton/Leachville AR. Her father was Tate or Fate Hamblin. I
understand that Fate can be nickname for Lafayette. Another nickname for Lafayette can be
Mark. Hattie's father left her as an infant at a boarding house. He had just come to
town and stated that he would be back, he was looking for work. Never returned. Some say
he came from OK, some from TN, some from IN. No one is sure. Can you help? This is the
first time I have heard someone reference a Hattie Hamblin. Is Hattie a nickname for
something? I can find no birth records for her.
