Biography on the memorial (contributor's text, not a primary source):

It is not definite that John is buried in an unmarked grave in this church cemetery but in all likelihood, he is. He and his second wife were originally members of this church and no other evidence shows that he is buried in a different cemetery. If new information is obtained to show otherwise, I will move him to the appropriate cemetery. His first wife died in Georgia before he moved to Alabama and remarried.

What it says, against the tree

Each fact this record gives, set beside what the FamilySearch tree says: it agrees, it is new (the tree lacks it), it conflicts, or it is context.

Person Fact Document says Tree says Assessment
John Nicholson Owens Birth 1778 Virginia, USA about 1783 Virginia, United States conflicts on the year (neither cites a source); the place agrees
John Nicholson Owens Death 1859 Tallapoosa County, Alabama, USA 1859 Daviston, Tallapoosa, Alabama, United States agrees
John Nicholson Owens Burial Darian Cemetery Daviston, Tallapoosa County, Alabama, USA 1859 Darian Cemetery, Daviston, Tallapoosa, Alabama, United States agrees, but the memorial is the tree's only source for it, and the memorial itself calls it a likelihood, not a fact (Notes; VISIT-019)
