Notes

  • Margaret's obituary gives her name only as Maggie D Green. The funeral notice gives the name as Margaret (Maggie) D. Green.

    Maggie's obituary and funeral notice say she was born in Memphis, Tennessee.  But in the 1930 census, where she is listed as Maggie D, her place of birth is reported as Texas.  The reported birthplace of her Welch children and Donnie Green also shows their mother's birthplace as Texas.  But the 1910 and 1920 censuses report her as born in Tennessee.

    In 1910 Maggie and her husband Thomas Jo Welch are living in Rush Springs, in southern Grady County, north of Marlow, Oklahoma..

    Welch, James Son M W 1 Single OK NC TN

    There is some confusion in genealogies and records concerning the child listed above as Menuf.  Some genealogies have a seemingly matching child as Menus.  But ages don't match.  The Bailey Cemetery list has an entry for Menus H Welch, born in 1906 and dying in 1917.  This would explain his absence in 1920.  I have not seen a genealogy that has both Manuel and Menus.

    But in the 1910 census, where is Manuel, who should be about 7, if he was born in 1903 as the cemetery list reports?  It appears the enumerator wrote Daniel instead of Manuel.  The child Daniel in 1910, reported as age 7, matches Manuel L of 1920, at age 17.

    I find it interesting that the only child reported as working on the farm is 18-year-old Harvey.

    Next door to Maggie and the children are her husband's parents, James W and Hollie Welch.

    In 1930 Maggie is the wife of Joe T (actually Toliver Jorile) Green, in Joe's household in Richland Township, near Marlow in Stephens County.  Margaret was a widow with four children when Toliver Jorile married her after the death of his second wife Luada (Lou Ada) West.
