OWEN, RICHARDSON. "At his residence in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on the 24th day of
July, 1822, departed this life Col. Richardson Owen in the 78th year of his
life. Col. Owen was born in Henrico county, Virginia, on the 14th of March,
1744. He emigrated to N. Carolina in 1762, where he was appointed Col.
Commandant of Randolph county. During the period of the Revolutionary War he
retained this command and was for some time in active service. He participated
in many of the interesting and painful events with the Revolution. Near the
close of the War he resigned this command and re-moved to Va. on New River where
he found a brisk partisan war kept up between Whigs and Tories.
"Devoted to the cause of liberty, he could not remain neutral in this conflict.
The Tory party for a while appeared dominant and Col. Owen was selected as one
of the victims of their cruelty; his vigilance and activity, however, enabled
him to elude their grasp, but his whole estate (which was large) was swept away
by them. They burned his house and plundered him of everything movable. Fired by
patriotic feelings as well as individual resentment Col. Owen determined at once
to crush this murderous band of unprincipled desperadoes. For this purpose he
raised a volunteer regiment whom he commanded, and after many sharp conflicts he
succeeded in killing, hanging and putting to flight these destroyers of his
fortune and enemies of his country's liberties. He carried with him to the grave
all those feelings which animated the American soldier in the times that tried
men's souls.
"Though he encountered many privations and sustained losses which he was ever
after unable to repair,' still he felt himself amply compensated in the
acquisitions of that liberty for which he fought and struggled and which he long
lived to enjoy.
"Nature endowed him with a strong mind, which he retained to the close of his
life. In his deportment through life his con-duct was exemplary. For more than
20 years he was a member of the Methodist church and daily engaged in the pious
duties of a Christian.
"He faced death with confidence and without fear, leaving an aged wife, five
sons and one daughter."-Obituary, written by Col. John I. Inge, Tuscaloosa,
Ala., and published in the Tuscaloosa Republican, July, 1822.

POPE, LE ROY. "One by one of those whose good fortune it was to be engaged in
the struggle for American Independence quietly drop into the grave. Soon we will
have only their memories and the recollection of their achievements to remind us
of their patriotic labors.
Col. LE Roy POPE has been gathered to his fathers. For four-score years he led a
life singular for its uniform probity and morality. He was born in Virginia in
1764-removed to Georgia in 1790-to this place in 1810, where he resided up to
the time of his death on the 14th inst., beloved by his relatives and intimate
friends, honored and esteemed by all. He was no common man, possessed of no
common mind, and filled no common place in our Society. The bustling incidents
of his youth prevented his receiving a complete education; but his mind was one
of a strong and vigorous character; bold, original and comprehensive, with a
vast fund of common sense. Formerly possessing the whole of the present site of
Huntsville, he was looked upon and was one of the chief patrons and founders of
the place, and always took a deep interest in whatever affected the welfare of
the town. His liberality and benevolence were notorious. The last ten years of
his life were spent mostly in retirement, mingling but little in the turmoil of
everyday life-preparing in peace, in quiet serenity for another and different
world, and at the time of his death he was a leading member of the Episcopal
church. One of the chief pleasures of life, is to sit at the feet of the
pioneers of our town and listen to them relate the early history of the
place-the incidents connected with its settlement, and its original inhabitants.
Acting a conspicuous part in all, and acquainted with all, it was a rare
enjoyment to hear Col. Pope discourse in his colloquial manner of events in our
history; and the only regret is that the pleasure was so seldom enjoyed. A mere
child to him, a comparative stranger to his many virtues, and the part he acted
in life's drama, we cannot speak more at length and with definiteness. His death
has created a chasm, an aching void in society, which we know not who can fill.
The action of the mayor and aldermen upon the loss our town has sustained, will
be found below.
At a called meeting of the Board of Aldermen of the Town of Huntsville, it was
unanimously resolved that the corporate authorities attend the funeral of the
late Col. Le Roy Pope in token of respect for the many private virtues and
public services of the deceased."

"The grave of William Pullen is in Jefferson county, in the suburbs of
Birmingham, in an old family burying ground about fifty yards from the Avondale
car line between 34th and 35th streets. For many years this old graveyard was as
isolated and secluded as if situated in the heart of a lonely forest, but, in
the last year or two, houses have been built up thickly around it and are
encroaching upon its boundaries. The grave of the soldier lies at the foot of a
large oak tree; it is a rough mound of brown stones with a flat tablet topping
them which bears this inscription:
Sacred to the
Memory of
WILLIAM PULLEN
A Soldier of the
Revolution,
Who died April 4th, 1845,
Aged 87 years.
"His wife lies at his feet but the lettering of the tablet at
her grave is illegible, only the words `Wife of William Pullen.'-
"Descendants of William Pullen declare that he died at the age of ninety-six and
that he was born in the year 1749. But as his name is found in the Census of
Pensioners for 1840 and he is recorded as being eighty-two years of age at that
date, and this agrees perfectly with what appears to be the age on the
tombstone, the writer has accepted the latter as correct. William Pullen then
was born in Virginia in 1758, on the Appomattox river near Petersburg. He
entered the Revolutionary War from Virginia and was in service for seven years.
Soon after the Revolution he moved to South Carolina and in 1820 he came to
Alabama and settled near Birmingham. He was the first man buried with military
honors in Jefferson county.
"He left six children: (1) Clarissa, who married Jesse Hickman, and they were
the parents of W. P. Hickman, formerly county commissioner for Jefferson county;
(2) Sarah who married James Rowan, and they were the parents of Peyton Rowan, of
Jacksonville. Ala.; (3) William, married Nancy Brooks; (4 )Martha, married
Joseph Hickman; (5) Mary, married Samuel Rowan; (6) Elizabeth, married Richard
Tankersley.
"It is shown in the records at Washington, D. C., in the Record and Pension
Office, `that one William Pullen served as a private in Captain George Lambert's
company of Continental regulars of the 14th battalion, 14th Virginia regiment of
foot, commanded by Colonel Charles Lewis, Revolutionary War.' He enlisted
January 1, 1777, to serve three years, and his name last appears as that of a
private on a roll dated Camp near Morristown, December 9, 1779, of Captain
Over-ton's company, 10th Virginia regiment, commanded by Col. William Davies.
The records show that the 14th Virginia Regiment became the 10th Virginia
regiment about November, 1778, and that about May, 1779, the 1st and 10th
Virginia regiments were incorporated and designated the 1st and 10th Virginia
regiment."-Mrs. P. H. Mell, in  Transactions of the Alabama Historical Society,
