Oliver Perry Owen /died 1914/Douglas Co.
I am researching my gg grandfather Oliver Perry OWEN. He was born 7/1/1842, possibly in Ireland and died 6/29/1914 in Douglas Co., Ga. He was a minister at the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church in McWhorter, Ga. and is buried there. His wife was Vinie J. (BROOKES?) b. 4/6/1839, d. 2/17/1925. She is buried there also. I am decended from their daughter Permelia Adaline OWEN married to George Pierce PHILLIPS, son of Hiram Columbus PHILLIPS. They had at least four other children: Charles OWEN b. 9/1/1867 d. 5/13/1951 in Douglas county, Ga. m. to Addie HUDSON, Henry M. OWEN b 3/9/1872 D. 12/12/1887, Georgia OWEN, married first to George WESTER and then to William F. JONES. Oliver Perry OWEN, Jr. Oliver Perry , Jr. moved to Mansfield, Texas. I have a letter written to his parents dated 1905 from that location. He signed his name Ollie. Family history has it that Perry, Sr. came "straight from Ireland" and some family members believe that Vinie was Native American, possibly Cherokee. I am trying to verify this as well as find more info on this branch of my family. I will share info that I have.
