John was born 14 Mar 1824 in what is now known as Old Texas, Alabama to Phillip Owens Sr. and Martha A. Byrd. John was one of no less than 12 siblings and possibly as many as 18 born to Phillip Sr. and Martha.
The list of children known to be born to Phillip Sr. and Martha A. Byrd is: (1) Thomas Daniel OWENS b: 1814 SC (2) Walter OWENS b: 15 Jul 1815 in, South Carolina (3) Elizabeth OWENS (4) James “Jim” OWENS b: 2 Jun 1818 in Monroe, Alabama (5) Samuel L. OWENS b: 1828 in Alabama (6) John OWENS b: 1825 in Alabama (7) Phillip Marion OWENS b: 1829 in Monroe, Alabama (8) Malachi OWENS b: Aug 1832 in Monroe, Alabama (9) Mary Ann OWENS b: 1834 in Monroe, Alabama (10) Stephen OWENS b: 1836 in Monroe, Alabama (11) Lucy OWENS b: 1838 in, Monroe, Alabama. (12) James M. b: 1816
Number 12 & 4 may are may not be the same person. There is a two year difference in DoB both have the same DoD, 1898. James M was married to Elenor F. Corley whereas James “Jim” is shown married to Sarah Alice East. For now I consider them to be two different children. Other possible children are:
(13) William b. 1822 (14) Harriet b. 1823 (15) Sarah Ann b. 1825 (16) Robert b. 1837 (17) Nancy b. 1845 (18) Martha b. 1846
