From: MPiros1120@aol.com
Subject: [TNHANCOC] CHARLES L OWENS
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2003 08:32:47 EDT

Hello List,

My gr-grandfather CHARLES LIDY OWENS was born 1861 in TN , moved to Rose
Hill, Lee County VA and died 12-22-1890 possibly in Hancock Co Tn. He was shot and
killed maybe on Wallen's Ridge. He was killed supposedly over a horse. I have
been trying to find out WHO killed him. The only record of his death is in
Lee Co ..says he was shot. No other info. Now my question...Is there anyone, any
place, any old court records , any old newspapers of that era..1890-1891 in
Hancock Co.

Also Below are some articles in a book Hancock Co and it's people.......Does
anyone know who JAMES or JOE OWENS was?
=========================================================
Hancock County
Wednesday March 11 1891
Another Hancock homicide JAMES WRIGHT shot and killed JOE OWENS at Kyle's
Ford Hancock County on Saturday, February 28th. The killing was the sequel of an
old grudge.
Morristown Gazette
======================================================
A MURDERER ESCAPED JAIL DECEMBER 16 1891
JAMES WRIGHT whose arrest in Missouri and returned to Hancock County Jail at
Sneedville we noticed in these columns a few months since escaped from that
prison on the evening of December 3rd. It is said that WRIGHT had been confined
in shackles to with in a few days of the escape., when the jailer was
persuaded to remove them. WRIGHT was charged the murder of a man named OWENS in
Hancock County. A negro prisoner escaped jail at the same time.
======================================================LIFE SENTENCE AFFIRMED
WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 23 1892
JAMES WRIGHT who was sentenced by the Circuit Court of Hancock County to the
penitentiary for life, for murdering of one OWENS at Kyle's Ford and who
appealed his case to the Supreme Court had a hearing by that body last week and the
sentence of the lower court was affirmed.
======================================================
HANCOCK
WED MARCH 23 1892
JIM WRIGHT again escapes. News comes of a bloody fight in the third district
of Hawkins County, On the morning of March 18th, in which JAMES WRIGHT wanted
for the murder of JAMES OWENS, of Hawkins County, figured. It seems that the
sheriff of Hancock County with a posse had traced WRIGHT to the house of
kinsman AARON TEMPLETON where they came upon him at day break. A deputy knocked for
admittance at the front door and when it opened by TEMPLETON walked in and
demanded the surrender of WRIGHT, saying he knew he was there and that they had
come for him and were going to have him before they left. TEMPLETON grew
furious, telling the deputy he would die before he would allow them to take WRIGHT,
at the same time impending the progress of the progress of the deputies.
Shooting soon began and when the smoke cleared away it was found TEMPLETON had
been shot, the bullet going through his body, and fatally wounding one of the
officers. While the shooting was going on WRIGHT who had been sleeping upstairs,
let himself down from the window of his room by means of a rope ladder and
made good his escape.

According to his death record, Charles Lidy Owens was born in Virginia in 1866 and died 22 Dec 1890 at age 24. Family members believe he was born in Tennessee, possibly Hancock County and may have been murdered there.

The 1880 census in Ancestry.com shows two results--one with a birthplace for Charles as VA and one with TN as his birthplace. As of 1/19/2016, Ancestry has not responded to a question of which is accurate.

A death certificate for one of his children also lists his birthplace as Virginia.

Mily Piros and one other person (see other notes) have his birthplace as Tennessee with no supporting information.

Charles married Nancy Elizabeth Van Huss on 25 Oct 1876 in Lee, Virginia, United States. Nancy (daughter of John M Van Huss and Rebecca J Van Huss) was born in 1859 in Rose Hill, Lee, Virginia, United States; died in in Tennessee, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Per the 1900 US Census, Nancy E or Nancy L VanHuss Owens was born in Virginia in 1865. The census lists her as Nancy E but a researcher has suggested a change to Nancy L. Both her parents were born in Virginia. Nancy was a mother to 8 children, 4 of whom were living in 1900. (This indicates that four of her children died prior to 1900.) Her living children in 1900 were:

John S, 20
James L, 17
Olden C, 15
Mary M, 13




Nancy VanHuss is listed in the 1860 census as a 1-year-old child of William and Rebecca Van Huss, living in the household with William's mother, Elizabeth Van Huss. Also in the household is Elizabeth Trent (34), a widow and presumably also a daughter of Elizabeth VanHuss, and her children:


Finally, the household contains 12-year-old XXXXX, presumably the son of Elizabeth VanHuss.


A second Nancy VanHuss is living in Rose Hill, Lee County, Virginia, which is confusing to researchers. Details on this Nancy VanHuss are as follows:

In 1870, Nancy is 7 years old and living at home with her parents in Rose Hill, Lee County, Virginia. Their post office is listed as Jonesville. Her parents are William and Sarah VanHuss and there are six children in the household:
Mary M (16)
David (14)
Martha (13)
Rhoda (11)
Nancy (7)
William (2)
In this census, the senior William VanHuss gives his birthplace as Washington Co. VA. Sarah gives her birthplace as Smith Co., VA. All of the children were born in Lee County, VA. The census taker has made checks and "x" in some of the boxes under cannot read and write, etc. while leaving other boxes blank. It cannot be determined whether the VanHuss family is able to read or write, but none attended school.

Family trees on Ancestry.com show this Nancy VanHuss as married to an Eldridge and her mother's maiden name as Thomas

In 1880, Nancy VanHuss is 17, living with her parents in Rose Hill, Lee County, Virginia. Siblings still at home are Rhoda (19) and William (12). Parents William and Sarah are 50 and 52 respectively. The census shows William as "Working on Farm"m", his wife as housekeeper, daughter Rhoda "at home", and Nancy and her younger brother William as laborers. William's father was born in North Carolina, according to the census, and his mother in Virginia. Both of Sarah's parents were born in Virginia. Their three children were born in Virginia. Note the discrepancy in Rhoda's age in 1880 vs 1870.

No additional details will be included about this Nancy VanHuss, who is likely a cousin to our Nancy VanHuss since both live in Rosehill, Lee County, VA.



In 1880, Charles and Nancy VanHuss Owens are living in Rose Hill, Lee County, Virginia. They have been married four years and the census list two children as Sarah (2) and John (1 month). In the same neighborhood is Andrew VanHuss, his wife Martha and two children (Martin and Jasper). His birthdate is listed in 1862 and is most likely a brother or cousin of Nancy VanHuss.

Denny, Wesley's son, sold a watch that belonged to Wesley to Abraham.
This note is per May McGlothin, who didn't identify Abraham.

May McGlothin believed the McGlothins in Coalfield followed the Fagansto this area. The Fagans are found in the 1930 census in the Camparea of coalfield, north of Highway 62 but earlier in the Coalhillarea. No other evidence supports this.

The slatewas said to be "rotten". The death was ruled an accident by aninvestigation. Documentation in binders from the Bureau of Minesinvestigations. 06-03-07

Jos. Richards, Jr., Supt. Oliver Coal Co., Oliver Springs, Tenn.

Dear Sir : As soon as you get the Felker entry through to the prop, make it a permanent air-course ; also put up a good furnace, one that will give a sufficient quantity of air for the men on the inside; and be very careful to examine the loose slate on the cross entries and haulways. As soon as you have complied with these changes you will greatly oblige me by notifying this office.

Yours very respectfully,
Jno. E. Lloyd, Com. of Labor $ Ins. of Mines.

Wesley McLaughlin was killed by turning a room on Ivey Entry, September 18th, by a fall of slate; cause, as proven by the evidence of those present, that as the rules are of this company in turning these rooms from the entry are 6 feet wide and this was 10 feet wide, thus giving room for the draw slate in the neck of the room to draw and give, so as to give chance to the entry top, which is full of slants, as a general thing, to give way also, and as common. He intended to stand a prop as soon as he could get the car loaded and take some of the draw slate down in the face of his room.

Testimony of A.R.Wall: I was working in about 12 feet of deceased when the slate fell on him and killed him. He was on the entry near the mouth of his room. I helped take some of the slate off him. He was loading a car when it happened. The fall was rotten slate. I think there was two or three tons. I was the first man to him.

Testimony of W.H. Jackson: I worked in Richards Mine today. I know that Wesley McGlothin was killed there. He was killed by a fall of rotten slate. There were three or four tons of it. He was loading a car in the entry near the mouth of his room when it occurred. Roe Wall told me that he told McGlothin that the top was "drummy". It should have been timbered.

The verdict of the jury was that he came to his death by falling slate.
