• Notes

  Amos Ownby seems to have been very restless ... he moved many times. In 1845 they left Sevier County, Tennessee for North Carolina, from North Carolina to Walker County, Georgia, then to Fulton County, Arkansas. Here in Fulton County, Arkansas, Amos Ownby served as a sheriff for a brief time. Later they moved to Reynolds County, Missouri. ---------- Reference: "Smoky Mountain Clans, Volume 3", Donald B.
