My gggrandfather was Owen Sikes babt 1812 in NC. He spent most of his life in Alabama from abt 1830 on. He married Sarah C. Miller of Washington Co., Al in 1836. Their children were : Susan, Elijah, Napoleon (my ggrandfather), Catharine, Mary, Elizabeth, Owen M., and Octavia. All except for Owen M. and Elizabeth died prior to 1908. I know Napoleon moved to Texas after he married Barbara E. Butchee in 1866. Their children were Cordelia, Nora, Rufus, John, Beulah, Daisy, Benjamin, (my grandfather) and Warren.
Very little is known about Owen after the 1860 census as there have been court house fires in Choctaw county that destroyed most of the records.
There is a chance that Owens father was Elijah Sikes also from NC. A cousin has provided me with copies of a family Bible records that show some of Elijah's children. Susan, Franklin Martha, and Lewis. Thanks for any help.
