Fellow Researchers:
Hopefully this semi-annual query will produce the source/documentation
for the death date for Hezekiah Pigg OWEN.
Several researchers are using the subject death date of 15 AUG 1853,
Graves County, KY, but are unable to advise their source of such a date
from their databases.
Hezekiah Pigg OWEN was a son of William and Edie (PIGG) OWEN,
being born ca 1776, in the vicinity of Pittsylvania Co., VA. Along with
his parents and other family members, they moved to Wilkes Co., NC
ca 1796. They then moved to Barren/Warren Co., KY, ca 1802-03, and
Hezekiah married Elizabeth "Betsey" LOWE, 05 MAY 1803, in Warren
Co., KY. This particular OWEN line was closely allied with and married
to the GREER and LOWE families in Wilkes Co., NC and Barren/Warren
and Graves Counties, KY.
Hezekiah and his family were in Hickman Co., KY, in 1830; in Calloway
Co., KY, in 1840; Graves Co., KY, in 1850, per Census Reports.
They resided about 2-miles West of Wingo, Graves Co., KY.
Known children of Hezekiah and Elizabeth (LOWE) OWEN were:
.....Sarah Ann OWEN, m. William FLOWERS, Barren Co., KY
.....William Lowe OWEN, m. (1) Jane CHAMBERS, Hickman Co., KY
m. (2) Sarah CLEAVES, Hickman
Co., KY
m. (3) Mary Ann (?-WHARTON)
.....Isaac S. OWEN
.....David C. OWEN, m. (1) ????
m. (2) Nancy M. HATCHELL
.....Pryor P. OWEN, m. Sarah WOOTEN, Graves Co., KY.
I must apologize for the length of this posting....but perhaps someone
may "spot" a clue in the above noted data or a relationship within
their own family tree.
Thanks for your help.
