Is your Owen from AR? My ggma SALLIE OWENS was supposedly b.1868 or 1877 in HAMBURG, AR-ASHLEY county. Her 1889 marriage cert. says she was 21(I think she lied). But I found her in an 1880 ASHLEY county census 3 yrs. old. with a REEVES family and a sister NELLIE O.OWENS. She always told my gma and mother her mom was an INDIAN. At one point her/kids lived in Ok. she taught at an INDIAN school. I have found her husband WILLIAM T. WATKINS line back to 1670, but can not find record of her mother or father. It seems to be an empty trail- "TRAIL of TEARS" we suspect. Trying to check every post for an OWENS-indicating INDIAN heritage. Thanks for your time.
