My Owsley Family History https://owslfl.tripod.com/generation-3.html GENERATION #3: John Owsley and Charity Barton

John Owsley was the oldest son of John Owsley and Ann Stephens. He was raised in Loudoun County, Virginia, and was just six (6) years old when his father was killed in 1764. John Owsley first appears in 1774 at age seventeen (17) years on a Loudoun County, Virginia tax list as a single man. This is the only instance that he is named on a Loudoun County tax list. On March 8, 1775, he witnessed a deed in Loudoun County between Thomas, Lord Fairfax, and William Stephens, probably an uncle (Loudoun County Deeds L: 39-42).

John reached adulthood during perilous times, as the American Revolutionary War was about to begin. John made his decision to fight in the War and did so in 1776 and 1777. He resided in Loudoun County, Virginia, during the American Revolution and assisted in establishing American Independence, while acting in the capacity of Volunteer in the Minute Service, guarding the Virginia frontiers with General George Rogers Clark. In 1776, John Owsley (Ousley) enlisted at Loudoun County, Virginia in the Army of the United States under Lieutenant William Housley (Owsley), in the company commanded by Captain Joseph Combs for 6 months service in the Minute Service. The company was stationed at Alexandria, Virginia to keep the British from landing. Sometime in 1777 in Loudoun County, John Owsley volunteered again and served under Captain Charles Porterfield in General Morgan's brigade, which marched to Philadelphia and on to join General George Washington at White Plains. This army marched in and around Philadelphia and New York. Later, John volunteered again and served guarding the Virginia frontiers. This service probably occurred in 1783, while serving in the Montgomery County, Virginia Militia.

John received a pension from the United States government from 1833 until his death in 1845 for his service in the Revolutionary War. After John's death, his wife, Charity, applied for a widow's pension in April of 1846. Her pension request was denied due to John's alleged desertion in August of 1777. It has not been determined why John deserted the Army. Records show hundreds of other soldiers also deserted. John may have left so he could move south to North Carolina with his mother and stepfather. John moved to Rowan County, North Carolina where he married Charity Barton on August 16, 1778. It is believed Charity may have been the daughter of John Barton Sr., who paid taxes in Rowan County, North Carolina in 1759. The marriage of John Owsley and Charity Barton produced at least eight children.

John Owsley and his family were living in Rowan County, North Carolina in 1778, where John was listed as having paid taxes. By 1784, they were living in Wilkes County, North Carolina, where on October 27, 1784, John (Howsley) was listed as working on a road crew. They lived in the Roaring River community, along with John's mother (Ann Adams and her husband, John Adams). John Owsley paid a poll tax in Wilkes County in 1786. Charity (Hously) and her children were living in Wilkes County, North Carolina, according to census records. John was away from home for some unknown reason.

Some Owsley family researchers believe John Owsley lived in Lincoln County, Kentucky for a short period of time in 1782. If so, he would have lived near his uncle, Thomas Owsley III. There is a John Owsley listed as serving in an expedition against the Shawnee Indians from October 22, 1782, through November 25, 1782. This John Owsley served in Captain John Snoddy's Company of Lincoln County Militia. Also serving were four sons of Thomas Owsley III: (Thomas Owsley, William Owsley, Anthony Owsley and Daniel Owsley). (NOTE: It is my belief that the John Owsley who served in the Lincoln County Militia in 1782, was probably Jonathan Owsley, another son of Thomas Owsley III. Another possibility is John Owsley, son of Sarah Owsley, sister of Thomas Owsley III.) On April 2, 1783, there was a John Onsley listed as serving in Captain Enoch Osborn's Company, Montgomery County, Virginia Militia. Most of the men serving in this Militia were from Wilkes County, North Carolina. Two of the men serving from Wilkes County, North Carolina were Isaac Barton and John Barton, brothers of Charity Barton Owsley. (NOTE: In 1783, Montgomery County, Virginia bordered Wilkes County, North Carolina.) I believe the John Onsley listed in the Militia was actually John Owsley. In John Owsley's Revolutionary War pension application, he described his last enlistment as having volunteered himself to guard the frontiers of Virginia for one month. It is my belief John was referring to his service in the Montgomery County, Virginia Militia in 1783.

It is believed that in the 1790’s, John Owsley had a relationship with a lady (name unknown) who lived in the Indian Ridge area of Grainger County, Tennessee. This relationship produced at least four children: Joseph Owsley (Ousley, Housley), Amy “Ann" Housley, Elizabeth Housley, and Robert Owsley. Joseph Ousley was listed in the 1810 Census of Grainger County, Tennessee. He later married Phoebe Longmire around 1812 and settled in nearby Campbell County, Tennessee. (NOTE: DNA tests conducted in 2003 proved, without a doubt, that Joseph and Robert were sons of John Owsley.) Amy “Ann” Housley married Samuel Gilmore in 1809, while Elizabeth Housley married Joseph Smith in 1811. Both marriages took place in Grainger County. The Gilmore family resided in Grainger County, but later moved to Gasconade/Osage counties in Missouri in the 1830’s. In the 1840’s, other Owsley families also settled in Osage County, Missouri, and were close neighbors with the Gilmore family. These families were children of Joseph Owsley and Robert Owsley. The family of Joseph Smith and Elizabeth Housley settled in Campbell County, Tennessee. They were close neighbors with Elizabeth’s brother, Joseph Owsley.

Sometime after 1790, the family of John Owsley and Charity Barton moved from North Carolina to Tennessee. (NOTE: In census records, the birthplace of their daughter, Anna Owsley Keck, is listed as Tennessee. Anna was born in December of 1792.)

By 1802, they were residing in Claiborne County, Tennessee, which borders Grainger County in East Tennessee. John and Charity lived there for the remainder of their lives. They first settled in the Sand Lick area of Claiborne County near the Clinch River.

On March 2, 1802, the Claiborne County court minutes record "John Housley' as a hand to work for Nimrod Dodson, overseer of the road from Jacob Capses to Bald Creek. On December 8, 1802, "John Housley Sr." succeeded Nimrod Dodson as road overseer.

On March 7, 1803, John was appointed overseer of the road leading from Bullard's Ferry to Fielding Lewis's. His son, John Housley Jr., was one of the hands to assist him in maintaining the road. (NOTE: The Fielding Lewis family is said to have been one of the first families to settle in Claiborne County, Tennessee. They moved to Claiborne County from the Roaring River area of Wilkes County, North Carolina around 1792. The Fielding Lewis family had been neighbors of the John Owsley family in Wilkes County, North Carolina.)

On February 7, 1807, John Owsley of Claiborne County, Tennessee purchased (for $200.00) 100 acres of land from Enos Johnson of Jefferson County, Tennessee (Claiborne County, TN Deed Book B). The land was located as follows: "lying and being in the county of Claiborne on the waters of the Big Barran Creek." (NOTE: The purchaser of this land was apparently John Owsley Junior.

On October 17, 1808, John Owsley Junior of Claiborne County sold "for $300.00" 100 acres of land to William Savage of Claiborne County. The land was located on the waters of the Big Barran Creek.) (NOTE: Enos Johnson may have been the father-in-law of John Owsley Junior and Stephen Owsley, sons of John Owsley and Charity Barton. John Owsley Junior was married to Rachel Johnson, while Stephen Owsley was married to Rhoda Johnson. It is known that Enos Johnson had a daughter, Rachel, who was born in 1787. He also had a daughter, Rhoda, who was born in 1789.)

On August 10, 1816, John Owsley of Claiborne County purchased (for $300.00) 400 acres of land from William Narvell of Claiborne County (Claiborne County Deed Book E). This land was in Henderson and Companys survey in Lot A. The land was located on the south side of the Powell River near Old Town Creek.

On August 1, 1817, John Owsley of Claiborne County sold (for unspecified amount) 100 acres of land to John Keack (Keck) of Claiborne County (Claiborne County Deed Book E). This land was in Henderson and Companys survey in Lot A. John Keck was married to Anna Owsley, daughter of John Owsley and Charity Barton.

On August 15, 1820, John Owsley of Claiborne County purchased (for $120.00) 100 acres of land from Luke Perry of Claiborne County (Claiborne County Deed Book E). This land was in Henderson and Companys survey in Lot A. The land was located on the south side of the Powell River near Old Town Creek.

In Claiborne County, John Owsley was a member of the Old Town Creek Primitive Baptist Church. Charity Barton Owsley was also a member of the Big Barran Primitive Baptist Church, where her death is recorded in the church records. John's occupation was a cooper.

The death of John Owsley occurred in 1845, while Charity died a few years later in 1848. Both were buried in the Pleasant Point Cemetery in Claiborne County, Tennessee.

It appears William Owsley and his family moved to Indiana in 1828, probably at the same time as his younger brother, Robert. According to census records, William had moved back to Tennessee by 1830. William and his family were close neighbors in Grainger County, Tennessee, with his nephews, Thomas Owsley and John Ransom Owsley. Their last names were spelled Housley in the 1830 Grainger County census. Shortly after 1830, William Owsley moved back to Indiana. After 1835, he moved to Missouri and was listed as living in Van Buren County, Missouri, in 1840, and Cass County, Missouri, in 1850. In 1860 and 1870, he lived in Johnson County, Missouri.

Robert died ABT 1858, Morgan County, Missouri. Robert Owsley was not listed as a child of John and Charity Owsley in the Bible record which was submitted by Charity Owsley to the government in her request for a widow's pension. Robert Owsley's name can be found in Claiborne County records in 1823 and 1827. According to census records, Robert lived in Putnam County, Indiana in 1830, and Morgan County, Missouri, in 1840 and 1850. (NOTE: DNA tests conducted in 2003 proved, without a doubt, that Robert Owsley was a son of John Owsley of Claiborne County, Tennessee.)

Nancy Rebecca Owsley Morris (1871-1929) related the follwing remarks to her descendants concerning her grandfather, Robert Owsley. "Robert and one of his brothers had their names removed from the family Bible. His brother (she did not know a name) married a half breed Indian and was disowned. The Owsleys were hard-shell or primitive Baptists and did not believe in dancing. Robert went to a neighbor's house on business at a time when a dance was in progress. His parents found out about it and removed his name from the Bible." It has been related to this writer from several descendants of Robert's older brother, Joseph Owsley, that Joseph was disowned for marrying Phoebe Longmire who was said to be full or half Indian. Along with Robert, Joseph's name was not in the family Bible record.

It now appears likely that Robert was the son of John Owsley, but not by Charity Barton. Robert's mother (name unknown) is believed to have lived in Grainger County, Tennessee.

When Tabitha Owsley was born on March 15, 1780, in Loudoun, Virginia, her father, John Owsley, was 22, and her mother, Charity Ann Barton, was 20. ^[4] John Owsley married wife Charity Barton August 16th 1778. Charity Barton was born Nov 6, 1757

^[6] Errors remain: 11 Sep 1854, for $200.00, John Keck bought 300 acres from Stephen and Matthew Ousley and the heirs of Tabitha Drummonds, "they being the heirs at law of John Ousley, deceased" (22). Apparently, Anna had been given her share of John Ousley's land in the deed to John Keck "for a valuable consideration" in 1817. Tabitha Ousley, born in 1783, was the oldest child of John and Charity Ousley (23), and most likely the wife of William Drummonds mentioned in the deed.

Brother Joseph Owsley born 1790 in Campbell, TN. Died 1879.

Joseph was listed as head of household first in 1810 in Grainger County. While father John Owsley was married to Charity Barton who at first was in NC with her Barton family when John went to TN either to

find a home for Charity and their children or separate from his wife. He fathered at least four known children with woman (Mary?) who lived on Indian Ridge in Grainger Co., TN. Four known children were:

BIBLE RECORD OF JOHN OWSLEY (1757-1849)^[9] John Owsley (1757-1849) was the son of John Owsley (c1734-1764), son of Thomas Owsley II (c1697/8-1750), son of Major Thomas Owsley (1658-1700). His family Bible record is contained in his military pension file at the National Archives and was submitted by his widow in support of her claim for a widow's pension. As is evidenced by the corrected name for their third child, Isaac in place of Stephen, the record was obviously prepared years after the births of their children and probably only in support of Charity's widow's pension. Noticably absent are two other children, Joseph, born c1790, and Robert, born c1802. It is believed both were disowned by their parents who ascribed to the practices of the Primitive Baptist Church, Joseph, for having married a half-Indian woman about two years following the death of their eldest son, John, at the hands of the Shawnee Indians at the battle of Tippecanoe, and Robert, for having visited a neighbor during a dance. The following record was published in the September 1993 issue of the Owsley Family Historical Society Newsletter. '"The Owsley Family in England and America," written by Harry bryan Owsley, c1890

Joseph's parents chose to disown him when he married a part Indian, Phoebe Longmire.

Phoebe Owsley Alsup (1862-1942), granddaughter of Joseph and Phoebe, shared with her descendants her grandmother, Phoebe, was a Cherokee Indian and that Joseph was disowned by his parents due to his marriage to [her].

James Ousley, son of Joseph [and Phoebe] lived some with his granddaughter, Annie Berry, before his death in 1919. James often talked about his mother, Phoebe, saying that she was an Indian. ^[10]

Gravestone erected by the OFHS for Native American Phoebe Longmire and her husband Joseph Owsley

Comment by a Barton: Owsley joined her husband in TN. Amy/Ann and Elizabeth Housley both married in Grainger Co. and then migrated with their families to Osage County, MO--followed by several of Joseph Housley/Owsley's children by his wife, Phoebe Longmire. John Owsley was not kin to his thought to be grandfather, Thomas Owsley, after the Owsley Family Historical Society did a dna project. See ofhs.org or my Ousley/Owsley family tree on Ancestry.com
