I have gathered some information on the family of Jacob Owens, born in South Carolina. He is in Cobb County, Georgia in 1850 and Milton County, Georgia in 1860. In 1870 I believe he is in Madison County, Alabama. In 1880 I believe he is in Blount County, Alabama. Here is his census information:

1850 Cobb County, Georgia – Roswell District
Series M 432 Roll 66 Page 111b
Jacob Owens 37 South Carolina
Dicey 37 South Carolina (1st wife)

Clo Ann 9 Georgia (name probably Chloe)
Mary Ann 8 Georgia

1860 Milton County, Georgia – Roswell District

1870 Madison County, Alabama – Vienna Beat
Series M593 Roll 27 Page 208A – films are completely faded; information from an online transcription with notation that surname is possibly Owens, but names match 1870 census information.

There are a few discrepancies, but not enough to exclude this family as being the same one as in the previous census records. I would like to find out what happened to his daughter Mary Ann listed in the 1850 census. I am trying to prove or disprove her being my 2nd great grandmother. If anyone knows this family or is related to this family I would appreciate any information about them. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
