There has always been the questions of who was Lucius's mother. Marjorie Watts was a avid Black family researcher and these are her thoughts on it.
"Marjorie M. Watts (writing in "Montreville W. Black", HOBC II, pp 100-101) offers an alternative interpretation: "The death certificate of Lucius gives his mother as Mary Edmonds and his father as Montreville Black. It is believed that this child may actually have been the son of "Mont" and Susan, who, in failing health, placed the child in the care of her sister. As he was so young, he could possibly have remembered no other mother than Mary." It is worth noting that, in those circumstances, all the older people surrounding young Lucius would have needed to maintain silence about the facts not just during his tender age, but throughout his long life. For what reasons would they have done so?"
