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. Sources of other
