Celeste: I'm sorry that I haven't seen the name Martha (Mattie) Owens before your posting. The only info I have on my Owen(s) is that my ggg-grandfather was Ambrose and his daughter (my line) was Anna Manora Sad Caroline View Owen. She married Archibald White. The 1850 census reveals the Owen family with Ambrose, wife Jane, and children Manera, Robert and Thomas. The record in 1860 shows children Minerva, Robert, James, Samuel, and Sarah. Then by 1880 Ambrose has remarried, Manora has married, and the little family consists of wife Sarah and child Emmer. Ambrose lived his last years in Todd Co. KY with daughter Manora's family. Wanda: I found much of my Uhles info in a great little notebook in the Smith Co. Library. My great-grandmother was Aura Uhles Porter (husband Floyd Marshall). Aura's father was William Franklin Uhles, and he was a product of Richard Uhles's marriage to Betty Pope (I have nothing at all on her!). Then I understand Richard's father was J. Frederick. If you have more, I'd love to see it! Thanks for any help to further my research!
