He married in Baltimore Co. MD about 1757, his first cousin, Hannah, daughter. of Captain John Stinchcomb (son of Nathaniel) of St. John's Parish. Hannah died prior to 1810. In 1754 Elijah Owings settled on 100 acres of "Howard's Fancy" in Baltimore Co., (the property of his half cousin, Charles Howard) where he lived during his residence in MD. He also purchased of Samuel Howard of Anne Arundel Co. on Jan 14, 1765 "The Lucky Adventure", 250 acres on the west side of Owyan's Falls in Baltimore. On May 3, 1766 he sold this tract to Clement Brooke and moved to NC with his brother, Bazeleel Owings, his brother-in-law, Norman Stinchcomb, and several members of the Howard family. He there purchased of Charles Hunter, 26 sep 1766, 520 acres of No Creek, in that part of Rowan Co. which became Davie Co. in 1835. To this Mr. Owings added 225 acres on Dutchman's Creek in the fork of the Yadkin River, which he patented, 20 Mar 1799. In Nov 1801, he sold 50 acres to his son, John. By will he bequeathed his house and orchard, with 50 acres of land, to his wife, Hannah, with reversion to his son, Henry and divided the remainder of his No Creek plantation, in roughly equal portions already laid out, among his sons; Henry, Norman, and Bezeleel. Elijah and Hannah Owings had 10 children."

John was listed as a commissioner along with Azariah Pack, Reason Pack, John Caton, and John March Jr. in the March Court 1810.

"Comb(e)" means dweller at the deep hollow or valley. Stinchcomb is a very small town in a bowl shaped valley.
