Life History

Other facts

Notes

• This family information from Houston Green, a descendant of Oscar,indicated that the wife of Oscar Landon Green was Mollie IsabelMorgan.  Houston's hand-written information and charts had the Morganlineage back three generations.  Houston also provided photos of thegraves of family members.  Birth and death dates for Oscar Landon andMollie Isabel come from the gravestone photos Houston provides fromSpring Creek Cemetery in Parker County, Texas.
  
  Houston also lacks the information on the Infant Daughter found in theCurtis Cemetery, b/d 1926.  But he lists another Infant Daughter b1911 and no death date (but must have been before 1920, since thischild is not in the census).
  
  1910 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 26 April, Justice Precinct6, 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 ALFarmer  Owns [b abt 1875]
  Morgan, Betty B  Wife F W 24  1st marriage Married 8 yrs 1 child  TXKY KY [b abt 1886]
  Morgan, Mollie  Dau F W 5  TX AL TX
  Morgan, Arlena  Dau F W 10  TX AL KY
  
  The marriage information informs us that this Betty B is the mother ofMollie, but Arlena's mother was the first wife, whom I presume died.We can say that Houston married Betty about 1902.  Mollie's birth datefrom family information and grave dates was 12 December 1904.  Arlenawas born about 1900, before April if her age is correct here.
  
  Houston and Betty are still living in the same part of Parker Countyfor the 1920 census.
  
  1920 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 4 February, JusticePrecinct 6, District 77, page 7A, Horshoe Bend Road, Hse #140, Fam#147
  Morgan, H C  Head Rents  M W 45 Married AL AL AL Laborer  Owns [b abt1875]
  Morgan, Betie B  Wife F W 36  Married TX KY KY [b abt 1884]
  Morgan, Henry Son  W 18  TX AL TX [b abt 1902]
  Morgan, Mollie  F W 15  TX AL TX [b abt 1905]
  
  This is the first appearance with the family of the son Henry.  Being18 and thus born in about 1902, this would be a son of HoustonMorgan's first wife.  But where was he in 1910?
  
  In 1930 we find the census record of Mollie and her husband OscarLandon Green.
  
  1930 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 17 April, Weatherford Ward4, District 4, page 6B, 202 S Akard St, Hse #154, Fam #163

  I searched unsuccessfully for marriage information for Mollie andOscar Landon Green.  Mollie's marriage to George Jackson after OscarLandon Green died is recorded in Texas Marriage Records:
  Texas Marriage Collection, 1814-1909 and 1966-2002
  Mollie I Morgan, age 64 (born abt 1905), Spouse George G Jackson, age67 (born abt 1902), Married 5 Dec 1969 Parker County, Texas
  
  Note that George's middle initial (for the name Jerome) is here givenas G.
