He received a grant of 158 acres in Sevier County, Tennessee.

    In 1816, just after the War of 1812 was over, John Ownby Jr. and his family moved from Rutherford County, North Carolina to Sevier County, Tennessee. This Ownby family was the only one listed in the 1830 Federal Census of East Tennessee.

    On 4 February 1858, John Ownby Jr. made a will to dispose of his property. In his will, he said, "I give and bequeath to my son John H. Ownby all my property both real and personal consisting of one hundred and twenty five acres of Land, Cattle, Hogs, Horses, household furniture, etc. I have given and bequeath all my property to said son John in consequence of his kindness in taking care of myself and wife in our age and during our infirmity."
