I have the possibility that Hannah Owen and her husband Colville Shepard (his brother Jesse was a founder of the Amity Presbyterian Church and he an officer of it til about 1809-10) might be the parents of my 3G Grandmother Mary Shepard who married William "Willis" Pearce 8 Jan. 1791. I suspect Mary born about 1774. Do these names connect with any data you have? My problem is that Hannah was born about 1757 and she would have been a young mother, if Mary's; also, Mary did not name a daughter Hannah but did name a son Colville. Thank you for any assist. Also their descendants went to Decatur County, IN where a cemetery near their farms was called the Pierce-Owen Cemetery, no one knows how that cemetery was given that name. Do you know if any Owens went to Decatur County, IN by mid 1800s? Thank you.
