— Zillah Ownbey. Zillah (daughter of Ambrose "Little Ambrose" Ownbey and Margarette "Peggy" Hodge) was born 11 Jul 1818; died 9 Jun 1911; was buried Ledbetter Cemetery, Buncombe County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Before William Murphy married Zillah, she was with child. He married her anyway and before the child was born, he came up missing. He spent a few years in Charlotte, North Carolina, driving a stage, where he had a son, James, by Nancy Fagin (illegitimate). He returned to his wife, they forgave one another and each accepted the children and raised them as their own blood.

The private cemetery in which William A. B. Murphy was buried is on Highway #9 just north and west from Bat Cave. It has a narrow, faint path that winds its way up the side with the plot - a lush thick forest and undergrowth carpet which slants away from the approach. Here is the tall grave marker of Zillah (Ownbey) Murphy. It is engraved as Zillah Ownby, wife of Will A. B. Murphy.
