I have a copy of the record of the second marriage with spellings as follows:
Packston Owen and Polly Sutton
City of Newport, 15th day of Feby 1881, Cocke County, TN.
"I certify that Isolemnized the Rites of Matrimony between S.P. Owen and Polly Sutton on the 20th day of Feby 1881, M. B. Harrison, J.P.
Know all Men, That we Packston Owen and Jas. Sutton of the County of Cocke, and State of Tennessee, are held and firmly bound unto the State of Tennessee, in the sum of Twelve hundred and Fifty Dollars, to which payment well and truly to be made, we bind our heirs, executors and administrators, and each and every one of us and them, both jointly and severally, firmly by these presents.
The Condition of the Above Obligation is such, That whereas S. P. Owen hath prayed and obtained a License to marry Polly Sutton.Now if there shall not hereafter appear any lawful cause why the said S.P. Owen and Polly Sutton should not be joined together in Holy Matrimony, as Husband and Wife, then this obligation to be void and of no effect; otherwise to remain in full force and virtue.
Witness our hands and seals, the 15th day of Feby 1881
S.P. Owen
James Sutton (his mark)
C.M.H. Penland, Clk
or it may be C/M.H. Penland, Clk
(Cocke Co. is straight across into TN from Haywood Co. NC.)
Samuel Paxton Owens was the father of all Mary (Polly) Sutton's children. He didn't marry her until this date, but they'd obviously been together for a long time.
Do you have a copy of the divorce from the first marriage?
There was a fairly famous person named "Samuel Paxton" for whom he was surely named. Perhaps this is a clue for us.
