Notes
- The anonymous source on Ancestry.com's One World Tree gives Ada's nameas Ada Pearlee Geurin. The form of the middle name differs from thatknown by the Gregory family. The name is recorded in family recordsas Ada Pearline Guerin. The Geurin genealogy reports her middle namePearlee.
This source seems credible, since it provides much detail. This nameseems to be a variation of the French name Guerin. There are bothGeurins and Guerins in Oklahoma. It appears that both spelling occurin some family lines.
There are three dates reported for the marriage. Loretta Gregory,niece of Wiley, reports the date as 25 Oct 1921, while the date on thegrave is 23 Oct 1921. A third report is 22 Oct 1921, from the GeurinGenealogy on Ancestry.com. The latter also provides the location,Milo, Carter County, Oklahoma, as well as personal information forAda.
