Joseph OLIVER & Ellen Tubb*

* I originally thought that Ellen's maiden name was Buker, as reported in an on-line transcript of the marriage of a son of Joseph and Ellen Oliver. However, the 1935 death record of Mary Ellen Oliver Peacock gives her mother's maiden name as Tubb. I wonder if Buker was someone's interpretation of handwriting. I will have to look at the original marriage record on ancestry.com, if possible.
