Where -- exactly -- did you come across this spelling for the town name?

Closest I can find so far is "MARUSOVA".

Let us know as mush as you can about where you came across this name.

Thanks.

My uncle found it in a family history.  He also tonight said he found
another spelling for it Marstresubau, perhaps in what used to be part
of Austria, or Moravia.  We are on a hunt for our family roots.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi searching1-ga, do you have any timeframe for these references?If we
could know when and where the source is from (ie. is it an address
written down, or in a book, etc.) it may help us to locate it.

There is a town ("mesta" or "mesto") in Slovakia called Stará ?ubov?a.
 It is also known as Mesta Stará ?ubov?a or Mesta St. ?ubov?a.

It's in northeastern Slovakia, near Poland.

Mesta St(ara) Lubovna sounds similar to the town you're uncle found. 
(Perhaps it sounds even closer if pronounced by a native.)  Do you
think this could be correct?

The spelling came out funny in part of my post.  Basically, it's
spelled Mesta Stará L'ubovna.

The name of the town of Marsteubvia, Czechoslovakia came from a church
dirctory in Odin, Kansas.  According to the church records, my
great-great Grandfather was said to have come from that town in the
year of 1880.   There is some speculation that that it is around the
area of today's Moravksa Trebova as apparently another family knew
ours from that region.  I know, not much to go on and this was all I
could glean out of my uncles.

The German name for Moravská T?ebová was Mährisch Trübau:

In one of your clarifications you mentioned the spelling
"Marstresubau". This could be a misspelling of Mährisch Trübau.

May I suggest that it would be worthwile assuming that the place your
are looking for is indeed Moravská T?ebová / Mährisch Trübau.
Additional genealogical research may enable you to verify this assumption.
