Hi,
I am brand new on your list and hope to find a connection to my family
here with you guys. I have George Washington OWENS, s/o James W. and
Anne (LEATH) OWENS, b. June 11, 1859 in Grayson County, Virginia, and
died June 15, 1929. George married Lydia Corilda COLE February 28, 1877
in Grayson County, VA, d/o James COLE and Lydia Howell. She was born in
1856 in Grayson Co. Virginia and died May 2, 1917.
Children of George and Lydia Corilda were;
1. M.L.J. "Laura", b. November 1, 1883, married Samuel CARRICO July 26,
1917
2. P.A.L. "Pearl", b. January 31, 1886, married Dallas CARRICO June 5,
1913
3. John J.R. , b. August 16, 1889, married Cora KING June 3, 1916
4. George Thomas Edd, b. February 20, 1893, Married Martha Emma STAMPER
Feb. 25, 1917
5 Lellie Zara Dell, b. July 5, 1898, d. August 9, 1898
All of this took place in Grayson County, Virginia. It was interesting
to note that all of the children of George and Lydia had three first
names, though I only have the initials of some. Laura and Pearl also
married brothers...Samuel and Dallas CARRICO.
If there is anyone out there who has knowledge of this family, please
contact me. I have searched high and low for someone connected to them
to help me find the ancestor James W. OWENS and where he came from.
Thanks so much.
Gloria Owens
