Hi,
HOpe this finds you - my line descends from George via son Jacob who m Elizabeth Leatherwood. George is of the continuing line of Richard Owen (born abt 1680 - 1756 VA) who lived in the Staunton River area (later Halifax Co) VA. This line is suggested strongly by Y-DNA matching to descendants who have hard paper trail back to Richard. I cannot identify George's line prior to finding him about 1800 in what later became Haywood Co N.C. I suspect he descends via one of Richard's sons or grandsons known to have migrated to N.C. from VA.
