He is in Cobb County, Georgia in 1850 and Milton County, Georgia in 1860. In 1870 I believe he is in Madison County, Alabama. In 1880 I believe he is in Blount County, Alabama. Here is his census information: 1850 Cobb County, Georgia – Roswell District Series M 432 Roll 66 Page 111b Jacob Owens 37 South Carolina Dicey 37 South Carolina (1st wife) Elizabeth 13 South Carolina John W. 11 South Carolina Clo Ann 9 Georgia (name probably Chloe) Mary Ann 8 Georgia 1860 Milton County, Georgia – Roswell District Series M653 Roll 131 Page 623 Jacob Owens 49 - South Carolina Nancy 28 – Georgia (2nd wife) Martha Owens 4 – Georgia 1870 Madison County, Alabama – Vienna Beat Series M593 Roll 27 Page 208A – films are completely faded; information from an online transcription with notation that surname is possibly Owens, but names match 1870 census information. Jacob Owens ** South Carolina Nancy 40 Georgia Martha 16 Georgia Jacob * * Georgia 1880 Blount County, Alabama – Township 14, Beat 11 Series T9 Roll 02 Page 423D Jacob Owin 72 – South Carolina Nancy 52- Georgia Jacob 19 – Alabama Elisabeth Beasely gdau 6 – Alabama There are a few discrepancies, but not enough to exclude this family as being the same one as in the previous census records. I would like to find out what happened to his daughter Mary Ann listed in the 1850 census. I am trying to prove or disprove her being my 2nd great grandmother. If anyone knows this family or is related to this family I would appreciate any information about them. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
