Notes
- 1910 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 26 April, Justice Precinct 6, District 83, page 3B, Weatherford and Balch Rd, Hse/Fam #63
Morgan, Houston C Head M W 35 2nd marriage Married 8 yrs AL AL AL Farmer Owns [b abt 1875]

Morgan, Mollie Dau F W 5 TX AL TX
Morgan, Arlena Dau F W 10 TX AL KY
Betty is Houston's second wife. This census tells us that Houston married Betty about 1902. Betty, then, is the mother of Mollie, but Arlena's mother was the first wife, whom I presume died. Arlena was born about 1900, before April if her age is correct here.
In both 1910 and 1920, there is another Morgan family living a couple of houses from Houston and his family. We see that both Houston and George W Morgan were born in Alabama, but the birth states for their parents are different.

There is still a family headed by a George W Morgan living nearby. But the ages, birth places and wife's information don't match, nor the children. I have not figured out who there two G W Morgans are.
