Yes, William and Martha had 14 children, with 12 living to adulthood.One girl died in her late teens after childbirth, and another died about age 26 six months after giving birth to her sixth child.The others reached at least their 50s.Most stayed in Missouri, but I know of ones going to California and Oklahoma.
I'm not as familiar with the Owings line as I am the Underwood line, so I'm not sure about Alabama.I do have the Owings book, third edition, though, so I could check if you have any names.
I grew up near Fair Play, Missouri, but I'm now living near Phoenix, AZ.
