Note: Some family records indicate the spelling of the name is Luada. The 1880 census transcription by Ancestry/FamilySearch (LDS) has her name as Lavada C. Other family genealogies that have the Wests also spell her name as Luada. Her children prefer the spelling Lou Ada. Her son Homer named his daughter Lou Ada. 1880 Federal Census, Pickens County, Georgia, 9 June, Truckwheel District, District 162, page 15, Hse #129, Fam #130 Augustus L West M W 27 Self Farmer GA SC SC Amanda A West F W 20 Wife Keeping House GA GA GA Lavada [Luada] C West F W 3 Dau GA GA GA The Wests moved to Indian Territory. They lived in Pontotoc County of Chickasaw Nation. In the 1900 census, when she was 13 years old, Lou Ada is listed in the census as Loula Greene. Lou Ada's father had died and her mother Amanda Tatum West married James Toliver Green. 1900 Federal Census, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, 20 July, Township 4, District 120, page 52B, Hse/Fam #949 Greene, James Head W M Jan 1861 39 Married 11 years TX GA GA Owns Greene, Amanda Wife W F Feb 1861 39 Married 11 years 4 children/4 living GA GA GA Greene, Loula W F Apr 1887 13 GA Unknown GA Lou Ada Caldonia West married Toliver Jorile (Joe) Green.

The Green farm and old Center community were north of where the Center intersection is now on Hwy 19. Their daughter Rettie (Alpharetta Mae) went to school at Pickett School east of Center on the north side of the road. -- Loretta Gregory Gay, personal communication to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 2 June 2018 My mother Lou Ila Jenkins gave me the name as Lou Ada. The latter is also the name of a daughter of Homer and Dorothy Green. Gravestones for two of her children have the mother's name as Lou Green, which seems to indicate that Lou and Ada were two separate names for their mother.
