He lived in Pittsylvania Co. VA .If anyone can help with even one of them I would really appreciate it. They are: 1.John W. Owen born about 1851-52 in VA s/o John D. and Sallie Owen . 2. John Owen born about 1851-52 s/o Zackaraiah and Wilmoth 3. John Owen born abt. 1848-49 s/o Daniel W. and Sarah Owen (I can only find this family once in the 1870 Pittsylvania Co. VA census). Trying to find out if one of the John's above is the following: 1900 Pittsylvania Co. VA Chatham #48 John W. Owen 49 (June 1851) VA married 27 years Elizabeth 43 (Dec. 1857) 10/5 children William Chesly (I think) 20 Mattie S. 17 Nannie L. 12 Lillian J. 11 Minnie M. 8 (Maude) Sarah J. 38 (May 1862) sister. The sister , Sarah J. Owen is the prople connecting this John W. to a parent. Daniel and Sarah had both a John (b. 1848-49)and a Sarah J. born 1862 ... but I cant find them in any census other than the 1870. Does anyone know who any of these people are? Thanks for any help, Cindy
