Additional Comments:
Notes: The third witness' name is difficult to make out after the letters "Christi"
... last letters look 
more like "nu".  Estimates on dates of some of Owen's heirs, ASSUMING that the
people in 
neighboring census records are indeed his sons:
David, b. 1780-1790 [1830 & 1840 Wilcox Co, Census]
Adam, b. 1799-1800 [1830 & 1840 Wilcox Co, Census: b. 1790-1800; 1860 Monroe Co,
Census]
George, b. 1796, d. 1837 [Cemetery record - matches with George in 1830 Wilcox Co,
Census]
William, b. 1798-1799 [1850 Monroe Co, Census;  1830 & 1840 Monroe Co, Census: b.
1790-
1800]
John S., b. 1781-1789 [1850 census: age 69; 1860 census: b. age 73; 1852 power of
atty. age 63]
{also: 1852 poa states that Owen married Elizabeth in 1787 - this is part of Owen's
rev. war 
pension file.}
