Owsley reports that the Georgia branch of the family was founded by Robert II, grandson of John Owsley, to wit: "Robert (2d)...settled in Green County, Georgia, married Mary Slaughter, was the father of Newdaygate, born in 1800, who married Mary Davis; was also the father of Penelope Owsley, who married J. F. Moreland." He goes on to assert that Newdaygate was "married to Mary Davis [and] had seven children, five boys and two girls- Robert F. Owsley, Joseph A., William H., Thomas D., and Rev. Newdaygate B. Owsley" There are a number of problems with this account. First, according to the Owsley Family Historical Society, DNA testing has established that John is not a biological child of Thomas II; thus, he could not be the grandfather of Newdaygate. Further, test results of this researcher (a descendant of Newdaygate) has also established consanguinity with the descendants of Weldon (reported by Owsley as the youngest son of Thomas II). Secondly, his Robert II is actually the son of our Newdaygate and Mary. Bequests under Newdaygate's will were made to Mary Ann, his wife, and his children, Penelope, Willaim, Robert, Anna, Sarah and Chloe. This, of course, rather definitely refutes Owsley's list. This tree reports Robert, the husband of Mary Slaughter, as the son of Newdaygate and grandson of Thomas II. The Rev. Newdaygate (b. 1800) to which Owsley refers was actually Robert's son. Mary Davis was his paternal grandmother. - [S036451] U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900, Yates Publishing, (Provo, UT, USA: The Generations Network, Inc., 2004).
