Wedding Wednesday - David Owens & Winifred Mullins

David Owens and Winifred Mullins were issued a marriage bond in Wilkes County, North Carolina on 16 Dec 1780. David was the son of William Owen. His mother is unknown. Winifred was the daughter of Henry Mullins and Mary (maiden name possibly Terry but that is unproven). David and Winifred moved to Rockcastle County, Kentucky along with her parents and several of her brothers between 1800 and 1810.

The exact date of their marriage is unknown. According to information provided in David's Revolutionary War Pension Application (which was filed by his children after both he and Winifred were deceased), they were married on 20 Dec 1781. At least the year of that date is questionable.
