Several reasons for this. 1 - Zachariah reached adulthood in Maryland based on his Rev. War pension application. 2 her father-in-law was a witness or appraiser (found this info yesterday online so I'll need to look @ the Frederick Co., MD wills & Administrations) to the Will of a Samual or Samuel Owen 3- my Richardson burial ground in Pittsylvania Co. @ Kentuck is on land originally surveyed by William Owen but I've been unable to find deed of transfer from William that may give relationship. I don't think Lucy was a sister to William or his brother John because the Lucy that was their half sister married my 5th Gr grandfather on my maternal side. Pruitt, Burgess and others who settled near Ringgold were from Maryland, so the answer may lie in Annapolis or Frederick MD. Please let me know if this helps or if you have more. Eric
