It appears from the parental birth information that Anna or Hannah Catherine Morgan is the mother of most of the children listed in A J''s Orting paperwork. She is not, however, IMHO, the mother of A J''s daughter Sarah. Sarah A Foster Barnes died at Western State Hospital in Steilacoom, Washington on 5 Nov 1950 and is probably buried there in an unmarked numeric grave. She may have been estranged from her husband Edward S Barnes for some time. Their only daughter Myrtle O Barnes disappears without a trace between 1910 and 1920. This is probably old news to you. Sarah''s death certificate information says she was the daughter of Andrew J Foster and Sarah Collins. I do not think A J ever married Sarah Collins; she is probably the Sarah (Mrs Benjamin) Stillwell with whom Sarah is enumerated as "niece" in the 1880 census in Wilson County, Kansas. A J and Hannah had seven children by her declaration on the 1900 census. Therefore, one is missing: he or she would have been born a couple of years before your dad in Idaho, possibly, or Oregon, most likely.
