John "Johny" Ownbey

Notes:

Following the path of migration to the West in Virginia, John Ownby came with his parents, sometime before 1760, to Albermarle County, Virginia (later Amherst County).

There are records of several land transactions for John Ownby in Amherst County, Virginia:
(1) On 27 April 1764, John Ownby bought from Charles Parkes, 359 acres, lying on the north branches of the Buffalo River and the north side of Fluvanna. This land ran with the lines of Ambrose Porter.
(2) On 5 September 1768, John Ownby sold to Martin Trap, 111 acres, lying on north branches of Buffalo River.
(3) On 5 February 1769, John Ownby sold to David Blitz for nine pounds, twelve shillings, 70 acres, situated on the branches of Buffalo River, being a part of a large tract belonging to the said John Ownby. Also John Ownby's wife relinquished her dower rights at that time.
(4) On 25 February 1769, John Ownby sold to William Mays, 178 acres, situated on the branches of Buffalo River starting with James Williamson's corner and running with the lines of David Blitz, being a part of a large tract belonging to the said John Ownby.

In the early 1770's, John Ownby and his family migrated to Pittsylvania County, Virginia where Ambrose Porter died leaving a will in 1773. In Ambrose Porter's will, he mentioned his daughter Ann and her five youngest children, namely, John, Milly, Susanna, Ambrose, and Arthur. Each of Ann's five youngest children was willed "one cow of heifer each to be delivered to them as they come to the age of nine or then years old."

In the late 1770's, John Ownby and his family moved again to Tryon County, North Carolina (later Rutherford County). Here he began to buy lands and remained until his death. They lived in the area of Colonel Hampton's Mill near Cove Road in Rutherford County, North Carolina.

They were listed in the 1790 through 1820 Federal Census of Ruterford County, North Carolina.

John Ownby was buried in the "Old Field Cemetery" which is located five miles north of Bat Cave just off North Carolina Highway #9.

An interesting story about John Ownby at the time of his death was told by his grandson, Samuel Ownby. It is:

"...Mother told me this story and I don't think my mother would tell me something that wasn't true. Mother said that the day before Grandfather Ownby died he walked from his house to the store, that he told the people in the store that he would die about that same time on the following day. The next day at about the time he had told them this, he layed down on the bed, talked as fast as he could, telling his family how to live, what to do, etc., then turned his face to the wall & died."

On 16 November 1875, John H. Ownby made his will to dispose of his property
both real and personal. In his will, he said, "I will and bequeath to my wife
Lucinda for the love and affection I have for Her all the property I have both
real and personal during her life time, if she remained single, but if she
marries to have no more than one child's part." Also he wanted his land to be
divided equally among his children at his wife's death with a share going to
the children of his deceased daughter, Elizabeth Mayes.

John Ownby died of typhoid fever and was buried in the Ephraim McCarter
Cemetery, Big Greenbrier section of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Two

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.

Notes:

William B. Searcy's name appears on the widow pension application of Mrs. Kitty
Adeline Ownbey, as living in Bat Cave, North Carolina, on 13 July 1885. He
served in the Civil War in Company C, 60th Regiment, North Carolina. He buried
Caleb Ownbey on Missionary Ridge, in Tennessee. Therefore could serve as a
witness to his death.

William was captured some months later and taken to a prisoner of war camp in
Ohio where they offered him his freedom to go to Kansas to help gather the
wheat harvest. He collected a pension from the Union and Confederates until he
died.
