Researching for any information on John G. OWENS, b-1861, Claiborne Parish, La., and Thomas W. OWENS, b-1862
Claiborne Parish, La. Both were sons of Wilson T. OWENS and Alitha Mullins OWENS. Wilson T. OWENS moved his family to
Bowie Co., DeKalb and Old Boston Areas, about 1863-65. These are his two youngest children. My last information is copy
of a deed dated March 2, 1894, recorded Nov. 12, 1902 at the Bowie Co. Courthouse. If you have any information regarding
John G. and Thomas W. OWENS, please let me know. I would like to contact their descendants.d Thanks for your assistance.

Ray Turner Friday May 9 15:30 1997 MCEACHERN ; TAYLOR: I am looking for Johnny McEachern for a distant relative,
Mary DEAN, who lives in Fayetteville, Ga. Johnny married a Sissy HAYES, they had two children, Wiley and Winnie. They
moved from Georgia to Texas, time is unknown. Mrs. Dean visited this family in the summer of 1940 on a farm near Nash,
Texas. Johnny McEachern was already dead at that time(1940). Sissie (Hayes) McEachern's funeral was sometime in the
1940AEs. Wiley McEachern was injured at birth and was mentally retarded, and is presumed dead now also. Winnie married
an Edward Taylor and visited relatives in Atlanta several times after her husband, Edward, had died. Mrs. Dean kept in
touch with Winnie Taylor until the summer of 1985, and lost all contact with her. She is sure the McEachern and Taylor
families are buried in or near Nash , Texas. She has no dates of births or deaths. I have not been able to locate any
Bowie County Cemetery books. I would appreciate any information on any of these people.

Germany?). Annie CARR living with them in 1910, may be Winnie's daughter by a previous marriage. I'm very interested in
information on these people and their relatives.

the U.S. Census of 1860 for Bowie Co., Sarah's last name is SANDIFER and she has married within the last year (no
husband is listed however). Later Rebecca married an EPPERSON and they had William T. (b. ca 1867) and Robert N. (b.
Dec. 1880); she was listed as widowed or divorced in the 1880 Census of Upshur Co., TX. F. Newton LASSITER was listed
