Notes
- Oklahoma, County Marriage Records, 1890-1995
Coy Green, Age 22 (born abt 1898)
Stella Belvin, Age 19 (born abt 1901)
Both Residencts of Pauls Valley, Garvin County, Oklahoma
License issued 13 August 1920
Marriage 14 August 1920 Garvin County, Oklahoma, USA
Ceremony conducted by J Oscar Peterson, Ordained Elder of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in Pauls Valley
Witnesses Orel Hulsey and Lona Richardson
Recorded 16 August 1920 Garvin County Marriage Book, p 320
According to family sources, Stella was only 13 years old, but the marriage record reports her age as 19. The marriage record was recorded the day Coy was killed. Coy was shot dead by Stella's father because he married her against her family's wishes.
If Stella was 13 years old, as her husband's Finda Grave reports, she was born about 1907. However, that birth date reported on her grave, her Social Security records and in famiy genealogies as 6 September 1905. so she was about a month short of 15 years old when she married the ill-fated Coy Green in August 1920.
