My Owens Family Page
- Last updated 17 Aug 2001.
A long list, hard to read.
Maybe read the alphabetical queries first.
- Generations 2 - 5, a few 6's and my line. * indicates my line.
#G-N means generation G, person number N (just a sequential number).
In the list of Children, + means see further.
A number shows how far that line goes (in my data, not here).
~1754 means "about"; ~1730? means a wild guess, probably within 30 years!
#2-1 John OWENS, d 1712, Richmond Co. VA,
Don't know if he was born in America, guessing at generation 2.
Was he related to Capt. Richard OWINGS of Anne Arundel Co. MD?
Or to Henry OWENS of Westmoreland Co. VA?
Birth years of children uncertain. Where did I get these?

Birth years and order of children uncertain.

Who wrote the notes saying Jeremiah was born in Flodden Scotland,
son of Robert? Using what documentation?
I have no proof this Jeremiah was the one named in Richard's will,
but it seems likely from the circumstantial evidence.

actually Joshua's son Johnson (#5-10).

Md: 1785 Catherine WILSON (don't know first wife)
#4?-14 Nathaniel OWENS, b ~1730? VA?, d 1807 Fauquier Co. VA
Who was this? Was he related? Who was his wife? All unknown,
despite claims he was the son of John (#3-1), some perhaps
submitted by me before I knew better! The Washington Co. KY
Bicentennial book claims daughter Sarah GORDON was born in Ireland.
If this is true (?!), then Nathaniel is probably not related.
