    Tom and Maggie married in Rubottom, Oklahoma.  Rubottom is a town in Love County, Oklahoma.  Rubottom is near the Red River.  Green and Jackson settlers lived on both sides of this rvier and traveled back and forth for work, business and family visits.  The town was named for William Penn Rubottom, born in Marshall County, Mississippi, and died in Love County, Oklahoma.  Rubottom information was on a photo by Robin Flatt Olson, on RootsWeb.

    The record of marriage is found in the Indian Territory Southern District Marriage Book, records kept in Ardmore, Carter County, Oklahoma.

    There are some differences in sources on the name for the child listed here as Menuf.  I find records under the name Manuel that appear to match this person, but age discrepancies create problems.  The 1920 census has a son of widow Maggie as Manuel L, which seems to match the grave marker in Bailey Cemetery, Grady County, Oklahoma, in the name of Manuel Loranza.  Given this census entry with the matching name Manuel L for widow Maggie's son, this seems to be the correct name.

    There is also a grave for a Menus H Welch.  This is perhaps one source for the genealogies that have this name for the child matching Manuel.  This grave reports that Menus died in 1917, explaining why he appears in only one census.  Several genealogies seem to have confused Manuel and Manus.  I don't think I have seen one that has both names.
