John was born 14 Mar 1824 in what is now known as Old Texas, Alabama to Phillip Owens Sr. and Martha A. Byrd. John was one of no less than 12 siblings and possibly as many as 18 born to Phillip Sr. and Martha.
The list of children known to be born to Phillip Sr. and Martha A. Byrd is:

Number 12 & 4 may are may not be the same person. There is a two year difference in DoB both have the same DoD, 1898. James M was married to Elenor F. Corley whereas James "Jim" is shown married to Sarah Alice East. For now I consider them to be two different children. Other possible children are:
(13) William b. 1822

(15) Sarah Ann b. 1825
(16) Robert b. 1837

Whether it is 11 or 17, John Owens had many brothers and sisters, some born in South Carolina, some in Alabama and others in Texas. This was the migration of John's parents. John was born in Alabama, moved to Texas with his parents in 1857. By 1880 John had moved back to Alabama.
John Owens was married 17 Sep 1851 in Alabama to Susan Andrews. Together they had five children:
Allie Owens (b. ??? – d. 17 Feb 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama)
Lula Owens (b. ??? – d. 12 Aug 1934 in Dallas, Alabama)

Both John and his brother Phillip were Civil War soldiers who fought for The Confederate States of America. They both joined the 36th Alabama Infantry Regiment, Company "G". John appears on the Muster Roll as enlisting 17
March 1862, and Phillip enlisted 1 February 1863. The 36th was a prestigious unit that saw much action. The Alabama state Archives has the following as a brief history of the Thirty-Sixth Alabama Infantry Regiment:
The Thirty-sixth was organized at Mount Vernon Arsenal, May 12, 1862. It remained there a month, then aided in the construction of the defenses at Oven and Chocta Bluffs. From August 1862, to April 1863, the regiment remained in Mobile, whence it went to Tullahoma. It was there brigaded under Gen. Clayton of Barbour, with the Eigthteenth, Thirty-eight, and Thirty-second-Fifty-eight Alabama regiments, Stewart's divison. The Thirty-sixth fell back with the army, and participated at Chicamauga with a loss of 125 killed and wounded. Its loss was light at Lookout, but large in casualties and prisoners at Mission Ridge. The regiment wintered at Dalton, and was engaged at Crow's Valley, Rocky-face, Resaca, New Hope, the Atlanta battles, and the skirmishing interludes, losing about 300 men by the casualties of battle from the time it left Dalton. At Jonesboro the regiment was again warmly engaged, and lost 25 per centum of its force present. Having accompanied General Hood to Middle Tennessee, the Thirty-sixth lost about 60 men at Nashville, and came out of there as an organized body. The regiment, with the other regiments of Holtzclaw's brigade, was then placed on garrison duty at Spanish Fort, and during that memorable siege lost 110 men killed, wounded, and captured. It was part of the force surrendered at Meridian, in April 1865. The Thirty-sixth went into line of battle at Dalton, May 7, 1864, with 460 muskets, and, within the eleven months that followed, lost 470 men and 21 officers, chiefly killed and wounded.
