An example of the spelling problems associated with the name OWL can be found in records of the Second Germanna Colony.
A Christopher Uhl has various spellings of his surname; Yowell and Owell. See

A James Yowell/Owl married a Mary Lederer. See

I'm sure folks can find several other examples of spelling variations for Owl.
The name Aggie Owl, allegedly Moses Damron's wife, does not necessarily indicate American Indian origins.
