The below pertains to the younger Arthur Connaway - son of Arthur Conway of
1790 Census.
Includes information from Helen Harrell an Odom researcher:
Barnwell Co., SC:
In 1816, Arthur (X) Connaway requested and was granted the administration of Owen Odom, Sr . Owen Odom is shown on several censuses -- from 1790 to 1810 -- with males and females living in his household. It appears that they might be his sons and daughters. The estate settlement and final accounting by
Arthur (X) Connaway does not name Odom heirs.
Arthur (X) Connaway asked to be and was named Administrator of the Est. of Owen Odom, Sr. Was he a relative or in-law?
Connaway, Adam McCreary, and Jonathan Jowers posted bond.
Adam McCreary left Barnwell 1820/1821 and moved to Conecuh Co AL
Jonathan Jowers - one Jonathan Jowers moved to GA.
Appraisers: John Riley, Silas Stevens, Michael Odom, Owen Odom Junr., and Nathaniel Powell.
In the Final Accounting: 1817
Ashea Hutson - no further info yet found. Many Hutsons in Barnwell.
Daniel Odom - which one of the many Daniels?
John Allred - found this brief note:
In 1790, Owen had 1 son over 16
In 1800, he had a male under 10 and a female under 10. [The son of 1790 would be over 26.]
In 1810, Owen had 3 males and 2 females still at home. ( 1 1 1 0 1 and 1 1 0 0 1 )
Owen died in 1816, his wife Mary died a year or two earlier. With 5 or 6 children, there should have been heirs.

Since Arthur Connaway received a land grant in 1771, he had to be of adult age then -- hence, born by 1750 or so. It is apparent that the
Arthur Connoway on the 1820 and 1830 censuses is a much younger man.

Proof Henry Conaway was the son of Arthur Conaway & Ann.
It is believed that Arthur Conaway died around 1800 in South Carolina. Neither he nor any of his immediate family were on the 1800 census. Son Henry Conaway was in Warren County, Georgia before 1806 when he married Nancy Turner. There were several instances in the Barnwell District Court of Common Pleas concerning a case where Henry Conaway took Ann Conaway to court for his portion of the estate of A.(Arthur). He was apparently out of state at that time & was represented by Marmaduke Gardner and in the end he was awarded Eighty Five Dollars. Below is
Below Ann is shown as administrator of the estate of Arthur Conaway. And Henry was awarded the money he sued for.

Dianne's Notes on the possible maiden name of Ann Conaway – she was deeded property by the Weathersby family living on land next to Arthur. Nothing specific said in deed about connection but…
1785 November 4 Arthur sold land in Orangeburg District to William Weathersbee – 100 acres – Last date his signature seen on a document
1786 May 18 Arthur mentioned in Plat for William Weathersby
1786 5 June Anna (Hannah) mentioned in Deed by Lewis Weathersbee – land leased to Hannah Conaway –First date her name mentioned in a deed I wondered if her name could have been Hannah & they called her Anna or the person who wrote this down misunderstood what was said?
1787 July 4 Lewis Weathersby sold land near Conaway’s Pond
Arthur & Ann named a son William.
