Minnie: Here is the Joshua line that I have to date. Not too certain about his descendency from Stephen Owens, but it's all we have right now, still need proof. Son Silas married Paulhenia Hinson, b 1851. I'd suspect that she was a daughter of Augustus Washington Hinson, and the birth year may be an estimate from a census. It is possible that she was a twin of either Mary Catherine or Martha Caroline, or they could have squeezed her in between them. I have record (my GGgrandparents James G. and Lucinda Owens) where a couple had three children in sucessive years (John Harrison, June 17, 1847; Julia Caroline Owens, April 1848; Hugh Lafayette Owens, March 6, 1849). I suspect that this information I have on the family comes from the 1870 Census, so I bet that something happened and these children were orphaned between 1870 and 1880. I have record of no other children. This couple married when Paulhania was but 14, according to the records, and Silas was just back from the WBTS, Co A, 4th Florida Infantry, CSA (same company as Lafayette Solomon Owens, youngest son of Solomon and Sarah). Looks like old Augustus Washington Hinson was involved in the WBTS as well, judging from the lapse in child-bearing. JOSHUA A.3 OWENS (STEPHEN2, SOLOMON1) was born 1807 in South Carolina3, and died Abt. 1875 in Gadsden County, Florida. He married SUSAN OWENS Abt. 1836 in Gadsden County, Florida. She was born 1816 in Georgia, and died in Gadsden County, Florida. Children of JOSHUA OWENS and SUSAN OWENS are: 15. i. SILAS S.4 OWENS, b. 1839, Gadsden County, Florida. 16. ii. WILLIAM D. OWENS, b. 1842, Gadsden County, Florida. iii. REBECCA OWENS, b. 1845, Gadsden County, Florida. iv. ANDREW M. OWENS, b. November 1, 1849, Gadsden County, Florida; d. September 13, 1921, Gadsden County, Florida; m. IDA; b. 1860. v. MARY OWENS, b. 1852, Gadsden County, Florida. Still trying to see if Joshua really is a brother of Solomon and son of Stephen as a family tradition in descendents of both maintains. Hope military, bounty land, and pension records can help. He served breifly with my GGgrandfather, James G. Owens, in 1839 in a Florida militia unit. John and Jimmy, do you have more info on theses folks? Scott
