Yes Patti, I am the one who researchs Owen's in Limestone. I have been meaning to write a message regarding SMART & MOODY but I had eye surgery the first and cannot see well to look up my data. My Moody connection is thru the OWEN's that still live in Limestone Co. I believe she was called "Big Mama" and was married to George Barney Owen , son of John Franklin Owen & Isabelle ( Belle) Little daughter of J.W. Little of Limestone Co John Frankllin was my grandfather's older brother .I hace a cousin in the Dallas area who is of that line and researches Moody & Owen. Yes, it has been a long time since we have been in touch, but I am still on the Limestone Co List.. Wanda in California now.. . > Wanda > Are you the one who researched Owens in LCT sometime back?
