Where my research stands
On the Owens side there is confusion about which James Owens was named in John and Susannah Owens probate records. I believed my James D. Owens is named as their son, the descendants of another James Owens believes it is their ancestor. Both James lived in Bracken County, KY and state they were born in PA. Both were roughly the same age. The basis for my claim is naming patterns.
Since very few records were kept at these early dates in Kentucky and Tennessee I have had to rely on unconventional sources.
