Sheron, I can't tell from what you wrote whether you do or don't have the census information on Josiah & Margaret WILLIS's family; but since that is all I found, I'll give you their 1900 census entry, which does list Missouri in the family. Since Margret's info says that she bore 7 children, of which 7 were still living, and since 7 children are listed in the family, that would seem to be all the names of their children. (The 1910 census does not list any additional children for them.)

1900 TX San Jacinto Co. 5-Pct (402), hh 132-133
WILLIS, Joseph head Sep? 1846 53 m15 LA LA LA farmer
--Margret wife Jan 1867 33 m15 7ch/7liv TX MS LA
--Alex son Jan 1886 14 s TX LA MS
--Missouri dau Mar 1887 13 s TX LA TX
--Len son Jun 1888 11 s TX LA TX
--Isabel dau Nov 1889 10 s TX LA TX
--Develia dau Jul 1891 9 TX TX TX
--Ruth dau Nov 1892 7 s TX TX TX
--Ardalia dau Jul 1895 5 s TX TX TX

1910 TX San Jacinto Co. 3-Pct (42), hh 58-58
WILLIS, Josiah head 67 m2/25 LA LA LA farmer
--Margrett E. wife 44? m1/25 TX MS LA
--Linn A. son 21 s TX LA TX
--Isabelle dau 20 s TX LA TX
--Rufus son 16 s TX LA TX
--Ardelia/Ardalia dau 15 s TX LA TX

Missouri is not listed with her parents in the 1910 census, because she was married by then, evidently in about 1904, and is listed with her husband. Mr. HOBBS had been married previously, and a daughter from his earlier marriage was living with them:

1910 TX Hardin Co. 8-Pct (1559 1 283a), hh 246-249
HOBBS, Ben head 40 m2/6 AL AL AL farmer
--Missouri wife 23 m1/6 3ch/3liv TX LA LA
--Eva dau 5 s TX AL TX
--Elisabeth dau 3 s TX AL TX
--Iola dau 9/12 s TX AL TX
GREAK? William boarder 22 s TX US US
HOBBS, Lillie dau 14 s TX AL TX

I also found Jame B. & Missouri HOBBS in the 1920 census. It looks as if her daughter Elisabeth either died or married extremely young:

1920 TX Hardin Co. 8-Pct (166), hh 173-173
HOBBS, James B. head 49 m TX TX TX
--Missouri wife 32 m TX LA LA
--Eva dau 14 s TX TX TX
--Viola dau 10 s TX TX TX
--Alva dau 7 s TX TX TX
--Westley son 5 s TX TX TX
--Milton son 4 s TX TX TX
--J. D. son 1 8/12 s TX TX TX

I couldn't any of the HOBBS family in the 1930 census. Do you know where they were in 1930?
