HYPERLINK-BIOGRAPHY: http://hans.wtblock.com/wtblockjr/thomas_deye_owings.htm
Born at John and Thomas Forest in Baltimore Co.
After the War of 1812, T. D. Owings studied law under Col. Nicholas. He was elected and served in the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1815 until 1818. He also served as Associate Judge of the First Circuit Court in 1811, and years later he was elected state senator in 1823.
When the 1850 Washington County, Texas census was enumerated, Thomas D. Owings was recorded at residence 200, page 299-A, living in the household of Rebecca and A. G. Compton, who was a Brenham merchant with $8,000 of assets. Perhaps Owings was away at census time, and Mrs. Compton reported several incorrect items. T. D. Owings was listed as being born in Texas rather than Maryland; no assets for him were reported, and the census listed his age as 65 when in fact he was actually age 75. In his article, George Stone reported that Owings died in his home on October 6, 1853, so most likely he allowed the Compton family to live in his home, in return for cooking and care during his geriatic years. T. D. Owings was age 78 at the time of his death, and he was the third Owings family member to be buried in the Old Masonic Cemetery.

The archival records of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky indicate that Thomas Deye Owings was a member of Webb Lodge No. 55 located in Owingsville, Bath County, Kentucky. He was listed on the rosters of 1820 and 1821 as a Master Mason. There were no rosters printed from 1822 until the late 1840's. Webb Lodge went defunct on August 27, 1834.
Ferdinand B. Focke, THOMAS DEYE OWINGS OF MARYLAND- SOLDIER AND PIONEER OF THE WEST: a RECORD OF HIS LIFE (Maryland Historical Magazine, 1935, pp 39-41). "At an early age he went to Ky. to manage the large holding of his father, which consisted of the Slate Iron furnace, grist mills, and real estate. Slate Iron furnace owned in 1787 by ... Came into blast abt 1790. Thomas was manager until his father's death in 1810, then became president. In 1822 because of panic it failed, and was operated for few years by Owings Trustees. Most malleable and cast iron used in West & South came from this foundry. Articles made were hauled to Kentucky and Licking Rivers, loaded onto flat boat and shipped to .... In 1807 U.S. government contracted to manufacture solid and grape shot for use in West. In 1815, it made the 22 and 32 pound cannon balls used in Battle of New Orleans by General Andrew Jackson."

RESEARCHER-DESCENDANTS: Information sent to T.Mason in Oct. 2002 by Cecil Offutt [offutt@comcast.net]
A letter in the possession of Hazel Mason Boyd that was written by Col. James Mason at Mt. Sterling, Ky. on the 19 Apr 1828. It says, "My great-grandfather, James Mason, must have been a religious man if naming his sons is an indication, they were, Peter, James, Luther, John." Mrs. Boyd believes there was also a Benjamin & a William and she thinks Col. James Mason's grandfather was a William, but has no proof.
