Jesse Owens: born in 1775 in Stokes, N.C.; died in 1840 in St. Clair County, Ala. Married Sarah Pinkney, who was born in 1780 in North Carolina and died on June 15, 1864, in St Clair County, Alabama.[1]
Note: Jesse mentions not only his wife, Sarah; and his three youngest sons, Samuel, Jason, and Jefferson, in his will but also a slave boy: "I further wish my negro boy Bartley to go to the use of my beloved wife Sarah Owens and my son Jason so long as either of them shall live."
