Hildred is researching an interesting story about COOGANs that
follows:

A baby was left in a basket on a porch on a street in
Montgomery, AL in 1930.  A note in the basket gave his name as
Jackie COOGAN and said he was born 16 MAR 1930.  He was left
at the home of an elderly lady who could not care for him.  She
called the police and they took the baby to the hospital in
Montgomery.  After living there for three days, he was placed
in a foster home in Red Level, AL.

Jackie's foster parents were Hosea and Ella Mae (HOGG) MOTT.
They eventually adopted him.
