No evidence has been found as to whether Cassie was married, a single mother or married to someone also named Hicks at the time of her children's birth. Identity of children's father has not been determined. 1910 Census indicates Cassie HICKS, age 72, is a widow and had 5 five children, 2 still living. Can only account for three children to date - sons Marion and William and daughter Elletha Frances. It is possible there were some stillborn children or that some died at less than ten years of age between the census periods.
