I am a little confused though was your Wi lliam Bean Owens born in 1861 or died in 1861. The birth date o f his mother has thrown me off a bit. (These days it dosen't tak e much, I'd have to admit ha!)I have a William Bean "Dick" Owen s b. 1804 in Ga. My info says he and his wife Martha Ann Priest/ Pierce? came with the Beans to Itawamba County MS then moved o n to Tishomingo Co MS.where he was a sheriff in 1840. I know thi s doesn't fit your info but I am sure there are not that many Wi lliam Bean Owens. I will keep looking thru my info and get bac k in touch with you. Renee Kneller
