    Notes:

    Andrew, Mary and their two children, ages 2 and 1, along with Andrew's brother, "Gib" traveled by wagon to Wybark, Indian Territory in 1900. They moved to Eufaula, OK in 1901.
    Andrew decided to move back to Missouri, and the family boarded a train for the journery. They located on a farm near Shell Knob. This took place after the birth of their 3rd child.
    The pull of the "New Land" was great, and Andrew again decided to go to OK. It was in 1906 and his brother "Zen" who had just married Mary Ellen Ray, accompanied them.
    The next move was in 1907 when Andrew settled in Devil's Canyon, just south of Binger, Oklahoma. The terrain was such that a dug-out seemed feasible, and they dug a room into the side of a bluff and faced it with a wooden wall. This was their home for the time being.

    Notes:

    There is a photograph in Stone County History Book p. 559 with heading as follows:

    Front Row: Malona (Jackson), Palestine "Pal", Daniel, Zeno "Zen" Owens.
    Second Row: Gilbert "Gib" and Sarah Jane Owens.
    Back Row: Arthur Anderson, Andrew Thomas, and William Nathan Owens.

    Daniel was 11 years old when his father moved the family to Stone County in 1859. He grew to manhood sharing the closeness of a pioneer family living in a one room cabin with a loft and a fireplace at one end.
    Custom was hinged upon necessisty, and the boys' opportunity for a formal education was limited by the scarcity of schools plus the need to be in the fields when weather permitted.
    Daniel farmed a quarter section of land in Section 24 of township 22 adjourning property owned by his brother, James. The brothers decided that the river bottom was a bad place to live, and they would move to get away from the "chills" that plagued them yearly.
    Daniel sold James 40 acres, including the hosue, and moved across the river to a place on the bluff. At this point eh was just four miles north of Baxter.
    James built further up on his land where the house presently stands. Whenever he referred to the 40 acres purchased, it was known as "Dan Farm." The house was used from time to time by relatives needing a place to stay.
    Dan bought 80 acres of land from the Missouri Land and Live Stock Co., Limited, of Scotland. Home office: 16 Castle Street, Edinburgh, Scotland. Business office in the United States at Rogers, Arkansas.
    In addition to farming, and at one time owning a mercantile store in Baxter, Daniel was a Freewill Baptist preacher.
    There are family stories about Daniel's death that have not been substantiated, of how he was killed. One such story has Daniel preaching at the Jones school house when a man came up to the window and started a disturbance, and Daniel had him put in jail. Sometime later, Daniel was riding his horse home from a meeting and was hit in the head by this man, and left for dead.
    Cecile Townsend, who later married Bryan Owens, was walking to school and saw a man lying on the road, and she ran to Crittendon and Pansy Owens' house to tell them of what she had seen.
    Daniel was carried to their home where he remained in a coma for three days before he died.
    The death certificate states that Daniel died of a concussion of the brain, caused by being thrown from a horse.
    Daniel died 7 Sept., 1912, William Township, Stone County, Missouri; bd. Owens Cem.
    Handbills were printed and distributed for the big sale held September 28, 1912. Among the items to be auctioned off were 1 grown mare, 1 roan mare, 1 yearling mule, 1 suckling mule, 17 head of hogs, 1 binder, 1 wheat drill, 1 spring tooth harrow, 1 wagon, 1 set of work harness, 1 turning plow, 1 double shovel, 1 buggy, 1 saddle, 1 shotgun, 1 dinner bell, 35 bushels of wheat, 6 acres of corn, and other articles too numberous to mention.
    L. A. Johnston was the auctioneer, and Gib Owens, who lived in Binger, Oklahoma, was holding the sale on his father's (D.M.C. Owens) farm.
    The terms were: All sums under $5, cash; over $5, 12 months time would be given on notes and approved security, bearing 8 per cent interest. Five per cent discount for cash.

    There is a photograph taken at Daniel Owens farm, Stone County, MO 1904.

    This is a rather large family, and I have the names and information on some 487 descendants as of this writing.
    Leonard E. Carey 1989

    The Owenses were basically farmers and they became a part of the American Dream. Wherever new land was opened for homesteading, you will find them packing up their belongings and moving on to what they hoped would be a better life. Some found their "Utopia," but others could only see the hardships.
    From family statements, it is learned that William and his son Elias travelled from Tennessee into eastern Missouri looking for land that they could settled on. They found what they were looking for in Washington Co., MO, and sent word back to Tennessee that the rest of the family should follow them by wagon team.
    A house was built; crops set in and there was time for increasing the family. It was here that Ann, William B., Daniel, and Mary Dosha were born. This was to be their home for the nexxt 10 years or so. The children attended school in a one-room school house that stands today. It is located at Sunnan Lake, Washington Co., MO. I was fortunate in taking a picture of this building, though it is no longer used as a school
    Samuel J. Lamkey, a relative of the family, now lives on the old home place. The original house burned, as have three others that were built, so there is little remaining to indicate how it was when William lived there. We can, however, pinpoint the location as being near Ebo, MO.
    Sometime between the 1850 census and 1852 William moved his family to Newton Co., MO. His son, James Clement Owens, was born at Granby, MO 18 June 1852. Elizabeth and Elias were already married by thistime, and they remained in Washington Co., as did Reuben. I am not sure what happened to Elizabeth, but I have met many of her brother's descendants in Washington Co., MO.
    Hugh Jefferson Owens was born 15 June 1854, probably at Granby, MO. John Anderson Owens was born 14 April 1856 at Granby, MO, Sometime between 1856 and 1859, William moved his family to Stone Co., MO, His daughter Mahala America Josephine
    Owens was born in Stone Co., 31 March 1859. It was in Stone Co. that William built their home, a large one-room log cabin. The stove was in one corner and they slept in the other.
    Mildred Chism Bushnell remembers asking her grandfather, James Clement Owens, why his dad had moved down into southern Stone co. He said, "The fishing and hunting were better. They traded with Indians and the berries and grapes were plentiful. It was a very peaceful life." Daniel, John, and Dilly homesteaded close to their father. James also owned land nearby. James sold his son-in-law land adjoining the school house. As Mildred Bushnell says, "William Owens must have been a pretty nice guy, or he would not have kept his children so close."
    In keeping with the thought of togetherness, William had the idea of a family cemetery, and such a plot was established in 1881 on about one acre of land that William and Sarah purchased on 5 June 1875, in the southwest corner, Section 11, Range 24W, Township 22N, Stone Co., MO. One of the stipulations in establishing this cemetery was that WJilliam would be the first buried there. He has now been dead and buried over 101 years (he died 15 Jan. 1882). I have been to the cemetery and have pictures of the stones and have the names of most of the people buried there. It is located 9-10 miles east of Hill City (on Highway #39, Barry Co., MO) on the banks of Table Rock Lake, turn right on the first road past the Owens Public Use Area and continue approximately one mile. The only road to thsi cemetery is unmarked and unpaved. The Owens cemetery was established in 1881.
    Mildred writes, "I remember before Dilly tore down his father's house, Grandmother and I picked baskets of roses and went to the cemetery. She draped flowers on everyone's grave and she would call them by name. We would then visit William King and Sarah Owens' log house just across the road. It had the biggest fireplace I ever saw."
    Nearby to the cemetery is what remains of the Owens School house. It has not been used for many years, but some of the relatives can tell stories about their teachers and teh lessons they learned there. James Clement Owens donated the seven acres of land, and James F. Banks, husband of Mary Dosha Owens Banks, built the Owens School house.
