I have always been told that my great great great grandfather's name was Anderson Owenby, I recently found out that it was actually Robert Owenby. I found him in the Census for Union County Georgia took in 1880.
At the time of the census he was 34 years old, his wife Nancy was 33
It listed three children:
Talitha C. 9 years old (that was my great great grandmother)
Manuel H.L 5 years old (his name was mis-spelled it was Mancil not Manuel)
John T. 2 years old
Their youngest daughter Mary wasn't born at the time of the census.
The census also shows that Robert's older sister was living with them, her name is listed as Eleanor E. and it states that she was 40 years old when the census was taken.
I haven't been able to find out who Robert's
parents were, or the parents of his wife Nancy Elizabeth, I think her maiden name was
Mathis but I am not sure.
