Notes

• 1850 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 14 January, District 27, page 249 (scan 126)Hse #901
  Arthur R Owen 35 M Agr (Farmer?) $1200 b South Carolina [b abt 1815]
  Mary Owen 27 F b South Carolina [b abt 1823]

  Wm Owen 7 M b Alabama [b abt 1843]
  Esther Owen 5 F b Alabama [b abt 1845]
  Green Owen 3 M b Alabama [b abt 1847]
  
  In the 1860 census, the child that matches Deborah of 1850 is named Debby A.  It probably should have been Debby E, to match Esther.  We have concluded that her name was Deborah Esther.  In 1860, Debby was enumerated with her mother, now a widow, and two siblings.
