His parents were John, born 1819 and Mary, born 1820, both in SC. The family is in Laurens in 1850 with other children listed as Archibald Y., born 1838, Richard A., born 1840, George A., born 1843, and Jane, born 1845. The family disappears in 1860 and the only one I can find in 1870 is an R.A. Owens in Anderson Co., SC. In 1880 a B. Owins, R.A. Owins, and a Mary Owins, age 60 are in Williamston, Anderson Co., SC. I'm trying to connect this family with the other Owings families in Laurens Co. In 1850 John and Mary are listed next to John and Nancy Dorroh Owings. Can anyone help me? Thanks for any help!! Kathy
