    Notes 
    • Per Morton Family records. Lucinda and William's children were James, Maggie, Dollie, Pemela [sic] & Artelia, twins.
      Per 1850, 1860 & 1870 censuses, it appears that their children were Martha, Rebecca, Elizabeth, James, Permelia, Melissa Y, and Sarah J, although not all of them appear in all of the above census records.
      Dollie is a nickname for Dorothy or Dolores, Maggie is short for Margaret. No girls by those names appears on census records. I'm still sorting out the names of their children.
