Margaret's maiden name is Loving. Her parents are James Loving and Elizabeth Ryals. Her maiden name is confirmed from several of her children's death certificate as well as a funeral home record in which Jasper was the informant.

Margaret's parents were most likely married about 1848 and Margaret was born in 1849. Her father died within the year of her birth and before she was enumerated on the 1850 Census. Elizabeth and Martha are living with Charles Ryals, Elizabeth's father, and both are shown as orphans. Andrew Jackson and his family is living next door and by 1860 Elizabeth is married to Andrew.

Some researchers have her maiden name as Green, and some have her maiden name as Barnes, or that she was married prior to Jasper, all of which is incorrect. She was married only once to Jasper E Gober. She was age 19 when they married.

Jasper indicates in the 1910 census that he has been married twice. According to some, his first wife was named Margaret Green, but again no documented information, other than he indicates in the census Margaret Loving is his second wife. Because both wives "were named Margaret" this is Likely where some have assumed her maiden name was Green.

Jasper and Margaret have a daughter named Hattie Green Gober. She is born after Jasper and Margaret Loving are married, so she can't be a daughter from his first marriage.

The Attala County Courthouse burned down July 28, 1858 and all county records were lost, so no marriage documents exists.
