Virginia Courtland is listing on the 1880 census living with Nathan Bass Owings. Another recent posting was from a person who also said Virginia was her great great grandmother and that Nathan adopted her. Nathan is my grandfather Auddie Joshua Owings uncle. The obituary gave no clue as to this event with Nathan. My email address is [email protected] David Owings Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
