Charles L. CUPP
Elizabeth OWSLEY

Husband: Charles L. CUPP
Birth: 1815/6, TN
Death: 1864, Claiborne Co., TN
Father: Jacob CUPP
Mother: Sibby BREEDING

Charles is said to have been killed during the Civil War by Conferate soldiers who shot him because he wouldn't turn his horses over to them. I have no idea whether the story is true, or not.

Secondary sources tend to give either the unmarried Abby CUPP as Charles's mother or Jacob & Sibby (BREEDING) CUPP — Abby's parents — as Charles's parents. I'm convinced that Abby is not Charles's mother (see Abby's page for the reasons).

Wife: (Mary) Elizabeth OWSLEY
Birth: 1810, TN (said to be in Claiborne Co.)
