According to Donna J. Hart, author of the book "The Descendants of Owen Dogharty of the north of Ireland", the Owen Daughety who gave land to his children in 1762 is the same Owen who left a will in Craven County in 1785. In 1762 he was giving land to the children of his first wife and the children in his 1785 will were by his second wife.
