    Note that in 1920, the children were all reported born in Oklahoma.  But in 1930, J W, age 17, and his two younger sisters Juanita & Ida May were reported born in Texas, while the younger children were born in Oklahoma.  Owen and Maggie's marriage record has not been found.

    Looking at the pattern of migration and residence for other Terry family members, it looks like Owen and Maggie moved to Oklahoma after the birth of Ida May (Mae) in about 1917.  In the 1920 census, Charlie Collins is probably Owen's cousin.  Owen's mother was Phoebe Collins.
