Thomas Marion Oglethorpe1

M, (1 July 1878 - 30 January 1931)
FatherJohn W. Oglethorpe (s 1855 - )
MotherJulia Sanetimore (c 1858 - )
Birth*1 July 1878 Thomas was born at Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, on 1 July 1878.2 
(Son) 1880 Census1 June 1880 Thomas was listed as a son in Julia Sanetimore's household on the 1880 Census at Catahoula Parish, Louisiana.3 
Marriage*say 1907 He married May Lee Ellard say 1907. 
1930 Census*1 April 1930 Thomas was listed as the head of a family on the 1930 Census at Catahoula Parish, Louisiana.4 
Death*30 January 1931 He died at Jonesville, Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, on 30 January 1931 at age 52.1,5 
Burial*say 1 February 1931 His body was interred say 1 February 1931 at Locust Grove Cemetery, Harrisonburg, Catahoula Parish, Louisiana.6,5 
(Witness) Research noteOctober 2010 From Sue Badeaux:

There was another Oglethorpe problem that I recently partially resolved. On the 1880 Catahoula census there is listed:70
     Julia Oglethorp     21     Married     LA
     Thomas Oglethorp     1               LA
Who was she? Which Oglethorpe did she marry? Where was her husband in 1880? On a printout from an old CD “LA Marriages, Rapides Parish Records 1802-1893” I found the following:

Julia Sanetimore married J. W. Oglethorpe August 14, 1878.71

This solves the problem of who Julia was but who was the J. W. that she married? Elsewhere in Catahoula in 1880 we have the entry for John Oglethorpe, 33, born in LA, a widower, living in the C. White household.72 I just do not know where to place this John with a birth year of circa 1847. There are several possibilities. Could this be the T. Oglethorpe on the 1850 census age 5, probable son of John Newman Oglethorpe and Emeline Carter? At any rate it is difficult to see him as the husband of Julia. John says he is a widower and Julia states that she was married although she was listed alone. My favorite candidate for the husband of Julia and father of Thomas is that of J., the son of Thomas Oglethorpe and Sarah Jones. That J(ohn) would have been 22 in 1878. This needs more work and a visit to the Rapides Parish Courthouse to see the original marriage certificate for any clues.7,8
