    Kaye Nicholson reports the name of Olive Jane Terry's husband, Charlie A Strawn, but has no birth or death information.  She also reports a marriage date of 12 Mar 1881, in Chatsworth, Murray County, Georgia.  But at this date, Olive Jane would have been only 12 years old. This does not seem reasonable.

    In January 2010, Jack Wilson pointed me to the 1900 and 1910 censuses, where he had found Charlie and Olive.  The 1900 census reports that they had been married 15 years, which would date the marriage in about 1885.  This would make Olive about 15 or 16 when they married.

    In 1910, Olive and her family are stil lliving in the same area.  Her name is spelled Ollive in the census.  Her census entry is overwritten and letters are uneven, leading to the Ancestry.com mistranscription as Ollice.
