- Jan 5, 2013 E-Mail from Jeffrey Green:
Description: I am the great great grandson of Noah B. Owen. I have found records where he is listed as Brantley Owen so is guess the B was for Brantley.
Noah and Martha Lockhart married April 12, 1842. After she died, Noah married Mary Ann Robertson June 2, 1855. After she died and Noah had served in the Civil War, Noah married for a third time to Kessiah/Kessa Adams on April 5, 1864. Noah and Kessiah had one son Noah B. Owen, Jr. who was my great grandfather. Sadly, Noah and Kessiah both were apparently dead by 1870.
In the 1880 Census of Williamson County, we find Noah B. Owen Jr. (age 14) listed as living with his brother John M. Owen & his wife Eliza Booker. John M. Owen's mother was Martha J. Lockhart.
In a history of the Brown's Guards - Company G of the 1st Tennessee (Field's) Infantry, Brant Owen and John M. Owen are listed as serving. I found John M. Owen's record but only located Brant Owen's record as being listed as Napoleon B. Owens. Perhaps an error or someone embellishing the name.
I also have a copy of the land grant given to Reuben Owen for his purchase of land along Snow Creek in Maury County, TN on July 21, 1838 from Mr. William L. Sparkman. My research shows Reuben Owen as being born November 13, 1775 in Fincastle, Virginia. His family (Mom/Dad/Siblings) moved from there to Somerset, Kentucky in 1803. From there Reuben launched out on his own to settle in Maury County Tennessee in the town of Santa Fe around 1838.
Thank you for your site as it has provided me with much valuable information.
