I have a James Owens b. 1870 Henry Co., AL, son of James M. Owens, b. 1846, GA. His father was John T. Owens, b. C1810, NC (in GA 1840 & 1850, Dale Co., AL 1860 & 70). Sons James M. and Josehp E. moved from Dale to Henry Co. before 1880.
I have not researched James Jr. who is likely the one who married a Hutto.
