Continuing with the lines of the children of Temple CARPENTER and Hannah
NEWTON:
This next family appears to be that of Temple and Hannah's son Owen.
Names, locations, and circumstances imply an all but certain connection
yet we lack that one piece of evidence to make it a lock. Perhaps
someone here might have that necessary piece of the puzzle and/or
finally make their own connection.

Note: Owen was known to be dead in 1839 and his heirs were believed to
have been in AL. Other documents imply that the CARPENTERs in MS had
totally lost touch with Owen's family. The boys above offer a myriad of
birthplaces: AL, TN, and KY. Also, Owen married Edna GUESS and the
names Moses and Morgan are GUESS/GUEST names as Solomon is a CARPENTER
name. However, the "widow" is later recorded as Elizabeth, not Edna.
Edna GUESS may have been fully Edna Elizabeth GUESS, but I have not seen
this documented. It is possible that Edna died at some point in the
1830s and Owen remarried to an Elizabeth. If anybody can clear up any
of the uncertainty here, it would be greatly appreciated.
