    In the 1910 census Mart is recorded as Sanford Mart Tateum, in Chickasaw Township, no incorporated area, in Pontotoc, Oklahoma.  This is where Ada is now located, and in 1920 their residence is in Ada, an incorporated town.

    Family sources report that Janis' full name is Janis Milt Corbin.  The 1920 census lists here as Milt A.  I cannot account for the middle initial A.  In 1910 Davis was listed as David.  The correct name, going by other sources, is Davis.

    1920 Federal Census, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, 19 Feb, Ada (Chickasaw Township), District 170, page 12A, Hse #180, Fam #182

    Davis Tateum Son  M W  14 Single OK GA GA Farm

    There was another child appearing between these two in 1910, who is missing in 1920.  This was Sam L Tatum, age 7, thus born about 1903, who would have been 17 in 1920.  It is possible he has moved away to work, or has married, though 17 is early for a man to marry in that era.  Sam more likely died before the 1920 census.  I have found not other information on a child name Sam L.

    The birth date on the grave marker of Sanford Mart Tatum in Lightning Ridge Cemetery in Pontotoc County is earlier than any  of these censuses, showing year of birth as 1868.  This seems to refer to the same person, however.

    It is of interest in this regard that one census report would make the birth year of Mart's wife Milt 1868.   Perhaps these dates were confused when the date of birth was put on Mart's gravestone.  I have not yet found information on Milt's burial.

    In the 1930 census, Mart is reported as a widower.  This would indicate that Milt died before the 1930 census.

    1930 Federal Census, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, 15 April, Chickasaw Township, District 12, page 10B, Section 22, Hse #108, Fam #109

    Tatum, David [Davis] Wife F W 24 Married at age 21 OK GA GA
    Tatum, Tennie Dau-in-law F W 17 Married at age 15 OK US US

    By 1940, Mart has married again and is enumerated with his second wife Ethel, and three of his children.

    In 1940, Mart's son Dave is living next door married to his second wife Pauline Turner.

    Notice that the surviving wife's name is Ethel.  We noted that in 1930 Mat was a widower, meaning his first wife Milt had died before that census.  I don't have any informaiton on the second wife.  I have not seen death information for Milt.
