  3. 4.  Caleb (Caliph) Ownbey Descendancy chart to this point (1.Millie1) was born 1829, Rutherford County, North Carolina; died 1862; was buried Tennessee.

    Notes:

    Died while serving in the Civil War during the Battle of Missionary Ridge, Tennessee.

    Caleb enlisted in the Civil War, 30 June 1862, and served in Company C, 60th Regiment. After the battle of Chichamauga in Georgia, near Chattanuga, there was a small battle in which Caleb was killed in September, 1863. His face was shot off and he was buried where he fell on Missionary Ridge, Tennessee, near Chattanoga. Much research has been made to locate the grave. Princer Clauden Searcy, a few years ago, visited all the old battlefields around where Caleb and John Ledbetter were killed, but failed to find their graves. "Uncle Billy" (William B. Searcy) was captured some months later and was taken to a prisoner of war camp in Ohio, where they offered him his freedom to go to Kansas and help gather the wheat harvest, a lucky thing for him. He drew a Union and Confederate pension until he died in October, 1904.

    Adeline applied for a pension #359, dated 13 July 1885, and was living in Daisy, North Carolina. William B. Searcy witnessed for her. Again, "Broad River, North Carolina, June 19, 1901, to Thomas Morriss, Marion, North Carolina, written by D. L. Clements, stating they were sorrection her pension application proving that she was the widow of Caleb (Caliph) Ownbey ... that Thomas K. Patton was his captain, that the regiment was made up in Buncombe County, that W. B. Searcy was standing by Caleb's side in Combany C, 60 Regiment, when Ownby was shot down and killed in battle and W. B. Searcy says he saw Caleb shot and killed and that he helped to bury Ownby and will make oath to this if necessary ... that Mrs. Ownby had been drawing a stay pension ever since the law that granted it was enacted ... that Dr. Freeman witnessed it also."

    Adeline had other children, parentages unknown to me. She was a midwife and it was her reputation she never lost a baby. George Dewey Ownbey owes her much, she delivered him. Caleb had a grandson, "Little Caliph" who died in 1909. Parent not named ... Broad River, now extinct, was situated at the junction of Highway #9, the road from Old Frot and Moffitt Hill, McDowell County, North Carolina, where the Broad River crosses the highway.

    In census reading, I located a Rhodes line that was Indian, first name Alberta (male). According to G. D. Owenby, "Adeline was of Indian Blood." There were several Rhodes families in Henderson County, sons of Sheriff Rhodes of Henderson County, around 1905. While in North Carolina, I saw hanging on the wall, a picture (in Aunt Carrie Lee Nanney's home) of Adeline, she is in a group, the Indian features are very strong - GE White. Adeline claimed the T. B. came thru the Rhodes side of the family.

    Notes:

    Born on homeplace near Hickory Nut Mountain. Buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.

    Carmia was her name given at birth. After her parents death, all her sisters
    were separated into various homes. She stayed with an aunt, Cora Nevada
    (Moffitt) Vess (Mrs. Canney Vess) on Crooked Creek. Later she moved and lived
    with a woman who called her Connie Eldora. By the time she married Henry
    Thomas White, she had changed her name again to Connie Etta, as her children
    knew her.

    Connie Etta met her husband while she was a waitress working in Old Fort,
    McDowell, North Carolina, in a boarding house where Henry Thomas White was
    living. Before they were married, they had purchased a house and then were
    married. Four years later their home is where Ralph C. White was born. All
    children were born in this house. The house still stands and has been kept in
    excellent condition by the present owner.

    According to her sister, Carrie Lee, Carmia was headstong and beligerent and
    that at one time Bailey Nesbitts took her for some time in her home, but
    couldn't make her happy.

    Carmia is buried in the same plot with her husband and his second wife in Oak
    Hill Cemetery. Their child separates Carmia from her husband.

    Notes:

    Born near Hickory Nut Mountain.

    When we were in North Carolina in 1968, in April, Aunt Carrie Lee was living in
    a new home, and was an interesting person - very guarded with her history of
    her people. What has been given had to be a fight ... and so I was corrected
    on many of my notes and dates, but she did give me some new facts which I
    carefully wrote down in my notebook. We were in her kitchen sitting on the
    long "Beacon type" bench with my husband and teenage son, Bob, across from us.
    Aunt Carrie Lee and Cuyva stood ready to aid us. I was a little astonished at
    all this kindness, and perhaps, a little uneasy at my manerisms - I didn't want
    to eat. I'd rather sit and "soak up" the tranquility of the home, the land and
    and the easy hospitality granted to their own, Ralph White, and their alien
    kinship (even of a Yankee descendent). The table was set with home grown and
    home made foods. I relished it very much, it is much the same as we eat at
    home when dad does the cooking. I cannot reproduce the same effect as our
    hillbilly daddy can.

    God Bless them as He has in the past.

    Aunt Florence lives at Route 1, Box 12, Camp Branch Road, Black Mountain, North
    Carolina 28711. We contacted her as soon as G. Dewey Owenby sent us the
    address and she responded quickly, hence, her family history complete - as she
    sent it - on the first letter, but it would have been different, had we
    contacted her first, as it might have taken more assurance - I'm sure.
