Bio
Parents: John and Nancy Porter Owenby. Married Martha Morgan on March 3, 1797. Born in Pittsylvania, VA. Porter and Martha Owenby: From the booklet "The Ownbeys(Owenby)(Ownby) Of Union COunty Georgia". located in the library of the Union County Historical Society, Blairsville, GA, written by W. Lake Stroud. "Porter and Martha Morgan Ownbey are believed to have been buried in Antioch Cemetery in unmarked graves; as Porter died 1853 and the first person buried in what was to become the Ebeneezer Cemetery was Humphrey Posey Ownbey's son, Russell L Ownbey in November, 1862. It is also possible that Perminter, his wife and daughter, Martha Caroline are also buried at Antioch in unmarked graves. Martha Caroline was 13 years old on the 1850 census: she was not listed on the 1860 census and family history is that she never married."Compiled by Lake and Kathy Stroud(Lake Stroud is a direct descendant of Porter and Martha) More on Porter and Martha: The book, Heritage of Union County, a copy located at the Union County Historical Society, Sec 46, Ebeneezer Church: Ebeneezer Church was organized in 1857 by several families who withdrew from Antioch Baptist Church. Some of these families were Stephens, Ledfords, Owenbys, Ezells, Garrons, Erwins, Logans and Rogers.
