One Hayes genealogy references a marriage record for O N Hayes in Baxter County, Arkansas, in December 1887. The place and time make sense for Oliver, but the bride's name here is Laura Hand, not Rebecca Annice Talburt. I have not found a marriage record in the name of Rebecca Annice Taburt. This same genealogy reports the only wife of Oliver Newton Hayes as Rebecca Annice Talburt, and gives the date of marriage as 10 March 1897. No source is given for this name or date.

Spouse's Age: 18

I could find information to explain this until I found the 1910 census below, which indicated that Oliver's marriage to Annice was his second marriage. I found the correct marriage record in the same county for Annice and Oliver. This is 10 years before his marriage to Annice.

The marriage record for Oliver (O N) and Annice (Annis) says they were married 3 October 1897.

"Hendrix & Oliver Newton Hayes had a double wedding both married Talburt girls."

In 1900, Oliver and his wife are living in the home of his brother Hendrix (Hendricks). Their parents are in the home also.

There is something peculiar about the birth states reported here for the parents. Note the first two children are reported born in Arkansas, and both their parents also. Arthur and Mary would be the children of Oliver's first wife. The problem is apparently an enumerator's error. He has reported the birth place of these two children's father as Arkansas, while Oliver himself is reported to have been born in Georgia. Note that in 1900 the birth state of the father is correct. Since this is Oliver's second marriage, these seem to be his children also, as we would expect. The father of all seven of Anice's children is reported correctly as born in Georgia.

Some more details are provided by some genealogies that have some of their information documented.
