Biography

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

Whether it is 11 or 17, John Owens had many brothers and sisters, some born in South Carolina, some in Alabama and others in Texas. This was the migration of John’s parents. John was born in Alabama, moved to Texas with his parents in 1857. By 1880 John had moved back to Alabama.

John Owens was married 17 Sep 1851 in Alabama to Susan Andrews. Together they had five children: Allie Owens (b. ??? – d. 17 Feb 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama) Lula Owens (b. ??? – d. 12 Aug 1934 in Dallas, Alabama) Ada Owens (b, ??? – d. 26 Mar 1960 in Dallas, Alabama) Charlie Owen (b. ??? – d. 12 Jun 1949 in Mobile, Alabama) James A. Owens (b. ??? - 6 Mar 1923 in Atmore, Escambia, Alabama)

Military

Both John and his brother Phillip were Civil War soldiers who fought for The Confederate States of America. They both joined the 36th Alabama Infantry Regiment, Company “G”. John appears on the Muster Roll as enlisting 17 March 1862, and Phillip enlisted 1 February 1863. The 36th was a prestigious unit that saw much action.

Hello Cyndi And Wayne,

As an ongoing effort to correct errors. The Errors report showed this bio needed a clean up. I have completed part.

Oh yes, errors does not want = to be used to break areas in the bio or in the sources. I removed the extraneous = and added an asterisk in the sources.

Thank you , Mary

Owens-2721 and Owens-2681 appear to represent the same person because: Found duplicate profile during merge of sibling. Name, Dates agree. If slight discrepancy in death date not resolved, can be noted with source in biography section.
