I've been looking for a Richard M. Owings, born 1825, died in the Civil War in 1864. In the process, however, I've started wondering if he was married to a wife in Hamburg, Edgefield County, SC and had a son there - Richard, born 1862, but also had the Richard born in Charleston in 1860, with Sophia McAlpin. I'd found the Charleston Richard a while back, but just noticed last night that his father was dead in 1870. Might be totally wrong, but I thought I'd check to compare notes.
