Documentation:
* Frances Queen MORRIS probably was stepchild of Thomas Morris, but child of Mary Ann ROTH. The name of her biological father is unknown.
* The 1880 Atchison TWP, Nodaway County, Missouri, US Federal Census shows a 2-year-old female orphan named Tenna Roth living in home of Thomas and Mary A. Morris. This is likely Frances.
