OWENS

Nata Dayhoff asked 8 years ago

I know George was born in Pittsylvania county Virginia, around 1837. A marriage license says he married Emeline in Grayson County, Virginia, in 1860. George's parents are listed as William and Patsy. George joined the 51st Virginia infantry but sadly, did not survive the Civil War. I have muster rolls which state he died on May 22, 1864. Emeline is listed as his widow. My gg-grandfather was the only child from their union. His name was James Wiley Owens. He married at least four times, and ended up in Nebraska. George Martin Owens Sr. was James Wiley's son, and George Martin Owens Jr. was my maternal grandfather. I CANNOT find William and Patsy (could have been Martha, or Rebecca???) I find close matches, but none that are 100% proof.
