I am confused, too! There was some discussion on this one time before. We know Owen was married to Mary Ann ?, born around 1818. Emanuel marriage records shows a marriage between Owen McGar and Mary Fields on July 17, 1884. I always thought this was the same Owen who was widowed by this time. The only other Owen McGars I can find were Owen H. McGar born 1871 and died 1889 and William Owen born abt 1840 and died 1865. Buried at Bithynia is Mary B. McGarr 1828-1904. Was there any proof Mary B. McGarr was a Bishop. I thought it was an assumption because I have never seen any marriage record. I have all the census reords of Owen but the only one I have copied in my database is this one: 1860 Emanuel County, Georgia, Census: visit 4/5 Owen McGar - 48; Maryann - 44; E.J. McGARE - 21, blacksmith; William - 20, blacksmith; Jane - 18 (on the 1850 Census she was listed as Nancy); John C. - 17; George W. C. - age 15; Thomas W. - age 13; Addeline M. - 9; John H. ANDERSON - 83, born in South Carolina; Jackson SCARBORO - 44. I don't know...can you make any sense out of all this??Help!

Any one know anything about Owen's, wife Mary Fields McGar?? Could I be on the right track?? >> Okay, I'm confused. What Owen McGAR are we talking about? Didn't Owen McGAR (b. abt 1812) married Mary Ann BISHOP, who died in 1904? You are probably right about "Mrs. Mary FIELDS" being Mary HALL, widow of Miles FIELDS, but who is the Owen McGAR she married in 1884?
