Birth*	Mary, daughter of Peter T. Owen and Martha Torian, was born circa 1846 in Kentucky.1
Census1850	Mary appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Dist. 1, Christian Co., Kentucky in the household of her parents, Peter T. Owen and Martha Torian, as 4 yo Mary Owen.1
Census1860	Mary appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Hopkinsville PO, Christian Co., Kentucky in the household of her parents, Peter T. Owen and Martha Torian, as 14 yo Mary Owen.2
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 22 August 2019 re 1880 census. Here's a possible scenario for 1880. If the Find A Grave memorial 14333738 is for this Martha, then likely the Mary A Fields (Find A Grave 14333747) in same cemetery is her daughter. The 1880 census has an entry for Walker T & Mary A Fields in Caldwell County, MO, with five children and 75 yo mother-in-law Martha Owen. This Martha born VA as were both her parents. That all works but I've found no corroborating evidence that this is our Martha at all.
