Individual Details

Her name given as Rebecca Hite Morton in records of both Irene Cook and Pat Reid. Her mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Hite Smith. In view of the many times her name is listed as Rebecca S. Haden in court records, I'm inclined to believe her name was Rebecca Smith Morton. The Morton data revealed a sister named Elizabeth Hite Morton for their mother.
