I also have an Owen County Medaris that I am trying to track down. Frances Lou Vicci Medaris b. March 20, 1841 in Owen. She died November 09, 1875 in Monroe County. Most of the Medaris families are now located in Monroe (neighbor of Owen County). My Frances married William Thomas Sparks. Susan Spear Keller wrote: > > Posted on: Owen County In.
