Additional Comments:
Coleman P. Owen's complete will may be found under "Wills" on this site. He was
the son of Brice Marshall Owen and Sarah Law (or Lane) who were married in 1812
in Jasper County, GA. Coleman married Charlotte (Lottie) Allen in 1830 in Walton
County and moved to Meriwether with his parents. Coleman and Lottie had four
children: Mary Ann Owen (m. William Thomas Cole); William L. Owen (m. Dorluska
Conner); Charles C. Owen (m. Nancy Conner); and Bricy Marshall Owen (m. first,
Mary Clay Carreker, second, Ida E. Whatley Powell, and third, Elizabeth (Lizzie)
Jackson Perkins). Although there are no marked graves, Coleman and Charlotte are
probably buried at Bethel Baptist Church at Rocky Mount in northern Meriwether
County. Many of his descendants lived in neighboring Pike and Coweta Counties.
