Notes
a. Continued:   According to my interviews with Lila S. Morton Clark, Frank RobertMorton's father's name was also Frank Morton. Based upon the factthat slavery existed in the State of Missouri when Frank Robert Mortonwas born in 1848, he and his parents did not have an identity inofficial records (except age, sex, and the condition of their mentaland physical health) until after the Civil War ended in 1865 and theFederal Census was taken in 1870. Therefore, it is doubtful that thetrue identity of Frank Robert Morton's father, mother or otherancestors will ever be known. I consider Lila a "Griot", and listFrank Morton as the patriarch of this family, until proven otherwise.
  In the 1870 Federal Census in New Madrid, New Madrid Co., MO. takenon the 15th of June, there is a Frank Moten, black male, aged 30listed on line 19 who was born in the state of Missouri. This FrankMoten was unemployed and unable to read or write. I believe this maybe Frank Robert's father. He is listed with the household (#71) ofWash Moten, a white farmer, who is 25 years of age.
