Additional Comments:
The last entry above is Brice Marshall Owen who lived about a mile and a half
west of  Rocky Mount in Meriwether County, Georgia, where this land is located.
There is no record of his having purchased this land. Brice was the son of Uriah
Owen who died in Wilkes County, Georgia, in 1820 and named his son Brice and
grandson Coleman in his will. Brice, his wife, Sarah Lane (or Law) and son,
Coleman P. Owen, arrived in Meriwether sometime before 1840. Brice died sometime
between the date this deed was signed (April 29, 1851) and September of 1852
when his wife, Sarah, received goods allowed her by an act for the maintenance
of widows. (See Meriweether County probate records, Inventory Appraisal Book D,
page 120.)

John Moncrief was married to Martha Owen, thought to be daughter of Brice Owen.
