<< Hi, Looking for washington Owen parent's, brother's or sister's in Carter Co., TN
Washington OWEN b: 1780 NC d: before 1840 Laurel Co, KY later became Washington Co, TN in that portion of Washington that became Greene Co, TN in 1783 or Carter Co, TN in 1796, but there are indications that he lived in Carter Co, TN prior to going to Knox Co, KY Before 1810 md: Sarah Ann Unknown, (possibly ANNY) b: 1782 NC later became Washington Co, TN
d: between 1860 and 1870 Laurel Co, KY
[Notes] Census Reports/Knox Co, Kentucky 1820 show Washington OWEN had 5 Naturalization living in his house hold "Citizenship papers -- A certificate of citizenship such as one issued to a person who was born abroad" "Naturalization -- The act of converting a foreigner into a citizen" A distinction could be made in the case of a person born in a foreign country, but who's parents are US citizens (for example). By US law they are citizens of both countries until they are 18 years of age (or is it 21, I forget) by which time they must decide. If there is no US birth certificate they would be issued a Certificate of Citizen ship Vs being Naturalized
