Source: Barbara Tabor, 6560 Starnes RD., Watauga,TX 76148 has furnished information on the children listed for William and Mary Ann Owen. She has also attached John Greathouse b. 1795 m. Rebecca Williams. Neither I or Barbara have evidence that John was actually the son of William but the date of birth makes it entirely possible. Her family group sheet for family shows the other children born before 1790 could be the 1790 census. She did not specify which. THIS IS THE FIRST INDICATION OF ANY CHILDREN FOR WILLIAM AND MARY ANN OWEN
