Note
I am having second thoughts as to Owen and Joanna being the parents of Felix and William because of her age , the 1850 North Carolina census has them in her household and her being the age of 54 and Felix being age 3 and William being 1 ..im beginning to think that either Penelope age 39 or Joanna being 26 to be their mother. Doing more research on this.
