Southern OWENs 1500-1870


Southern OWEN queries are posted here, though some are included under the given name. Please let me, Mary Nichols know if you can identify any of these or connect them to other families, or if you want to add any of yours. Please limit your requests to early OWENs before 1800, and preferably unknown immigrants.

For my own research, I have extracted the OWEN land grants from the Virginia land grant database. Links are included here.
