• Notes

  William was probably the first born of William and Zillah. After his marriage William moved to Kentucky, had four sons and two daughters. He separated from his wife and left. He remarried, but found his wife with another man and killed him. The family heard that he had been lynched, but Great Aunt Gemma said that a man visited the old home place and asked many questions regarding persons having died, old buildings torn down, even talked to his sister, Nancy, who would never admit it. Aunt Gemma felt is was her uncle in spite of the denial. ---------- Reference: "Kinfolk, Ownbey Family Lines of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina", p 28.
