Notes for Willis Callaway (Spouse 1)
Birth: Jun. 2, 1811
Crothersville
Jackson County
Indiana, USA
Death: Sep. 5, 1866
Crothersville
Jackson County
Indiana, USA
Consort of Sarah M Owens
"A loving husband and father dear
A faithful friend lies buried here"
Willis Callaway Owens
Born August 2, 1811 - Indiana/Kentucky
Died September 5, 1866
Husband to Sarah M.
Born September 12, 1812 Kentucky/Virginia
Died August 13, 1873
Descended from Indiana Trader John of PA, proven via a genetic test of Willis' descendant Garry Owens. The Owens family were intimately associated with the westward expansion; from PA to Bracken County KY then crossing the river into Indiana Territory. Capt. David Owens was with George Rogers Clark when he descended the Ohio. His brother Capt. George Owens defended Fort Jefferson; and both served at Fort Nelson at what is now Louisville.
I currently believe that Willis is the grandson of John Owens and Sarah Jackson of Clark County, Indiana. This John Owens was a son of Captain David Owens. John Owens and Sarah Jackson had a son who married a Rachel Callway, daughter of Samuel Callaway. I believe that Willis Callaway Owens is their son. Genetic testing, via Ancestry.com has proven that Willis' descendants have Callaway DNA of the same line as Rachel's father Samuel Callaway of Clark County .
Stones for Willis Owens and Sarah M. Owens restored by Brad Manzenberger who was commissioned by Willis' g.g.g. grandson J. Loppnow.
