Owens-2154 and Owens-2565 appear to represent the same person because: After extensive digging into this fellow, they are the same person. Please review and merge....I found another Lockhart link down the road via the daughter Sarah who married Caleb Webster Lockhart. Not unusual in this timeframe and location.
