Notes |
- Becky married Owen Hembree (b. 1777 d. 1837) and had a large family, moving to Georgia in the 1830's. Owen was half Cherokee, the son of William W. Hembree (b. 1754VA d. 1821 SC) and Oo-rin-dah. Owen and Abraham lived close to each other in Spartanburg District but their relationship is not clear. Descendants of Owen usually exclude a blood relationship with Abraham but the families do appear to be close.
The published data on Owen is shaky - especially regarding his age. I think he was born in 1777 (not 1765 or 1780 as sometimes shown). His first child (Laura Susan) was born 1801. Rebecca is listed with her father in 1800, and Owen is off on his own, but not a head of household. They had their last presumed child in 1830 which is about right for Rebecca's last (45) and Owen's last (53). (They probably had their last in 1825.)
Owen's wife is shown as Rebecca or Delilah. They joined the Goucher Baptist Church (where Abraham and children attended) as Owen and Delilah in 1824 but both families know her as Rebecca or Becky.
Owen died in 1837 in Carroll County, GA and Becky died before 1850, we believe, in the same location. [1]
