    Lucy is still at home with her parents in 1910, at the age of 16.

    By 1920, Lucy has been married and divorced and has moved to the Northwest.  Note that according to ages in the previous censuses and this 1920 census, Lucy has aged only 7 years since 1910.  The 1900 and 1910 ages are consistent with her known birth date from family sources, 16 Aug 1893.

    In the 1920 census, Lucy is divorced from George Tugman, and is living with her two sons in Rock Lake Precinct, Platte County, Wyoming.  She and George married some time about 1814, then moved to Platte County, Wyoming, before the birth of J D, who was 8 months old in January 1920.  But in the census, they are reported as Divorced.  George and Lucy are living in different locations in the same county.  The children are with Lucy.  It would seem likely they moved then divorced quickly after, perhaps over the stress of the move and relocation?

    Details on the divorce are missing from family tradition, and I have found no public documentation.  Family tradition reports that George got the divorce from Lucy on the grounds of mental cruelty he had experienced.  (Information from Loretta Gregory Gay, niece of Lucy and George.)  Beyond this no details are known.

    1920 Federal Census, Platte County, Wyoming, 7 February, Rock Lake, Platte, Wyoming, District 74, page 5B, Hse #85, Fam #87
    Lucy Tugmon Housekeeper F W 23 Divorced TN TN TN
    David M Tugmon M W 5 OK OK TN
    J D Tugmon M W 8mos WY OK TN

    In this census the family name is written Tugmon, as is George's record.  It is spelled Tugman on census entries for the previous Tugman generations and for George and Lucy's boys in later life.  A Tugmon genealogy also spells the name consistently as Tugmon (referenced in some of the footnotes and Notes on some Tugman individuals.)

    In this census the birthplace of both Lucy's parents is reported as Tennessee, which is correct from other records and family sources.  However, in 1930, when she is back in Oklahoma, and married to Lawrence Carter, her father is reported as born in Georgia.  I cannot think of any explanation for that.

    Lucy married Lawrence Carter in Pasuls Valley, Oklahoma, on 1 March 1923.

    Oklahoma, County Marriages, 1890-1995
    Lawrence Carter of Pernell, Garvin County, Oklahoma, age 32, never married
    Spouse Lucy Tugman of Lindsay, Garvin County, Oklahoma, age 27, divorced
    Age 32, Birth Date abt 1891
    License issued and marriage performed 1 Mar 1923 Pauls Valley, Garvin County, Oklahoma, by T M Hartman, Pastor, Presbyterian Church, Pauls Valley (Garvin County)
    Witnesses Doris Watwood and Mrs Mac Q Williamson
    Recorded 1 March 1923

    Her first child with Lawrence, Billie Joe, is 6 years old in the 1930 census, so I estimate they were married in about 1922 for Billie to be born before April 1923 (to be 6 years old in the April census 1930).  Billy Joe's actual birth date is 24 January 1924.
