Death certificate of Benjamin Lafayette Owen states that Richard was father and Polly was mother. Please post a reply, should you have any information.

Richard should be William Owen(s), and Polly is Mary Dover, daughter of Frederick and Jane Dover of Lumpkin County. Here's what I have on them to date: In 1850, Mary Dover and William F. Owens were living next door to Frederick and Jane. They had married in Habersham in 1846. A daughter Mary's age is missing from the 1840 census records for Fred and Jane Dover. Mary is 25, states she is born in Tennessee (as did Noah Dover); William Owen is 32, has $150 in property and was born in South Carolina. They have a daughter Elizabeth who is one year old. In 1860, Mary and William are living in Mount Yonah (p.442), White County, GA. Owens, William F., 44, Farmer 150/150/NC Owens, Mary, 33, b. NC Elizabeth, 10, b. GA Henry, 8, b. GA Virginia 4, b.

Also in 1900, William Owens, b. September 1829, and Mary Owens, b. August 1925, were living in Hart County, town of Hall. They had been married 44 years. She stated she had 5 children and 4 were living. She actually had 7 children. He was a farmer. Here, Mary states she was born in South Carolina, that her father was born in South Carolina, and that her mother was born in North Carolina.
