A couple of other genealogies report she was born in Missouri City, Fort Bend County, Texas. This is near Houston. No genealogy tells where they got these locations. perhaps the report of Missouri as the birthplace is due to a confusion with Missouri City in Texas. She could have been named after either the state or the city. Here is Steve Lynch's information on Missouri Green.
