Here is the probably ancestry of Owen Owen #2 who married Mary Goode. He is then unlikely to be Jason Owen's father. My detective work for that was the Owen Owen that appears in the 1810 VA census with an unnamed child Jason's age. Since the gravestone of the other Owen Owen (#1) died 1819 indicates he was still in VA in 1810 and only 1 Owen Owen appears in that census. So Owen Owen #1 was likely either deceased by 1810 or had moved with his brother John to WV, where a John and Owen Owen are mentioned in 18????. ref?? So Owen Owen #1 married Jane Hughes is the probable father of my Jason Owen.

Father Robert Owen 1708-1765, Mother Rachel Hook 1712-1786 https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/44479532/person/6217479771/facts?_phsrc=rmn215&_phstart=successSource . Robert Owen (Owings) (c1708 Prince George's Co, MD - 1765 Frederick Co, MD)
s/o Robert Owen (s/o Edward Owen), wife Rachel Hook (c1712 - 1786 Frederick Co) owner of Horseshoe Planation in Frederick Co, MD. He and wife are right age and an old two page tree (Robert-Owen-father-Owen-Owen.jpg & Owen-Owen-MD.jpg) lists an Owen Owen (c1747/50 - ) as his eldest son. A wife Mary is listed which is consistent with Mary Goode, 1st wife of Owen Owen #2. This report also lists a brother John that moved to Bedford Co., VA by 1750's and purchased 180 acres there.

While a secondary source this is all consistent with my Owen Owen and first marriage to Mary Goode. However primary sources say that an Owen Owen and John Owen were briefly in Jail in VA as suspected Tory sympathizers. And later an Owen Owen and John Owen appear together in West Virginia. This lends weight to the possibility that there may have been two Owen Owens marrying two different wives in Bedford Co. in 1771 and 1772 as there is the Owen Owen wife Jane Hughes 1819 stone in Bedford and that Owen and John Owen may have moved to West VA after their stay in jail. Solving the mystery of the two Owen Owen wives might help solve this, as well as following up the links in the tree.

Second page of this tree states Owen Owen (1747/50 - > 22 May 1826 Floyd Co, KY) moved to Bedford abt 1771 (marriage date to Mary Good), then to Floyd Co, KY abt 1801. 1820 census lists him there.

If this is all correct then this is the first Bedford Co. Owen and likely not Jason's father as my analysis was based on the Owen Owen showing in Bedford in the 1810 census.

So even though the ages of Robert Owen m. Rachel Hook are right and they had a son Owen Owen in Bedford he is probably not my Owen Owen. However his brother John is listed as puchasing land in Bedford in 1782, and witnessing purchase of land in 1787 when one might expect John to have moved with Owen to W. VA ~1801 as stated abv. (Unless that's another John Owen?)

Finding death records or gravestones of this Owen Owen, John Owen and Mary Goode might help. CHECK THIS.

These parents do have reasonable dates. Owen (Owings), Robert [6] c1708 • Prince George's County, MD - <25 FEBRUARY 1765 • Frederick County, MD married 25 Feb 1729/30 Prince George's Co to Rachel Hook, b c1712, d 1786 Frederick Co. d/o James Hook and Margaret Thrasher (d/o Benjamin Thrasher). James Hook b c 1680-85 Prince George's co and s/o Thomas Hooke and Annaple Magruder. Thomas was b c 1645 Bristol Somerset, England ad d c 1697-98 Prince George's o. Thomas was s/o Humphrey Hooke and Florence Smith. The source for them seems to be Robert-Owen-father-Owen-Owen.jpg.

Robert Owings will of 14 May 1762 was proven 25 Feb Frederick Co, MD naming 10 Owings including an Owen Owings.

However source 3 below has mother as Rebecca Humphrey (1699 Co Merionethshire, Wales - >1750Now, Montgomery, PA) as mother [43 PROBABLY TOO OLD & MARRIED IN WALES] and Robert III Owen (1697 Duck Creek, New Castle, DE - Mar 1754 Merion, Philadelphia, PS) as father and only Jane Hughes as wife married 1729 Fron Goch, Merionethshire, Wales. This is the tree I've recorded abv. SO LIKELY WRONG DAD & MOM. BUT USED THEM IN TREE ABOVE.

However The History of Bucks County, Pennsylvania (1876) by William Watts Hart Davis writes that "...our Bucks Co, PA Griffith Owen (from Wales in 1721 m. Margaret Morgan prob. of New Britain) had four children including an Owen Owen Sr, who married Catherine Jones and had 4 sons and 4 daughters, the eldest son being our Owen Owen, jr. who married Jane Hughes, daughter of Christopher Hughes of Bedminster and they had 8 daughters, Catherine, Elizabeth, Ann, Jane, Mary, Margaret, Zillah and Hannah. He also states that Owen Owen Jr. was a man of active, vigorous mind, of influence in his day, and lived to the age of ninety" [he was actually 77 so an inconsistency here] So this has a 3rd alternative father and mother. (See source 4 below for image.)

The Miller-Claytor house which the Owen Owen family rented from 1810-1825 is currently the sole remaining 18th century town house in Lynchburg. In 1976 it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Here Mrs. Jane (Hughes) Owen opened a school in the basement. The Owens generously shared books from their extensive library thus establishing Lynchburg's first circulating library. The house is currently managed by the Lynchburg Historical Foundation.

According to Margaret Anthony Cabell, Sketches and Recollections of Lynchburg 1858, Mr. and Mrs. Owen were well educated and intelligent, possessing, in a high degree, the purest and most refined species of mental culture - for they both had the most enthusiastic love for the beautiful, as seen in creation, particularly in shrubs, plants and flowers, which they cultivated in great perfection, thus investing life with all the poetry of which it is capable, and diffusing through Lynchburg a taste for Botany and Floriculture.




OWEN OWEN LIFE AND PROBABLE ANCESTRY

According to Nancy Owen family tradition, her Lynchburg Owen Owen was of Welsh Quaker descent. If so he most likely descended from the original Welsh Quaker's of Merion, PA, which was the center of Welsh Quakers in the 1600's. What is today Lower Merion Township, a western suburb of Philadelphia, was part of the Welsh Tract given to early Welsh immigrants by William Penn, himself a Quaker. Griffith Owen and several Owen Owens originally from there became prominent Philadelphia citizens documented by a number of primary sources.

However I've found no direct line of descent of my Owen Owen from these early Pennsylvania Owens documented in primary sources though there are a number of Ancestry.com trees without stated sources that make this connection.

And even though the Quaker Meeting house (now restored on the Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church property) was the first house of worship established in Lynchburg c. early 1700's, there is no evidence that my Lynchburg Owen Owen was a practicing Quaker as he doesn't appear in any of the meeting records during his life in Lynchburg. A few other Owens do appear who could possibly be related.

As for my Owen Owen himself, the only primary source records I've found, other than his Revolutionary War military service as a 5th Regiment Private in Captain John Abner's Company 'The Raiders of Staunton' (Staunton just a few miles NW of Lynchburg), are from the same area, possibly even the same location. The 1771 and 1772 marriages are from Bedford Co., and he appears in the 1810 VA Census in Lynchburg. However he could well have lived in the exact same place as Campbell Co was formed from the eastern section of Bedford Co in 1781, and Lynchburg Town was chartered from the 45 acre John Lynch property in northern Campbell Co. in 1786.

The only other primary source record I've found is an Owen Owen memorial gravestone (Owen-Owen-stone-best.jpg) in the Lynchburg Old City Cemetery, Plot 102 W. This later memorial stone was erected by Robert Latham Owen, one of 1st two Senators from Oklahoma, who was a descendant.

In addition to this later memorial stone there are no doubt individual stones with birth dates, likely in the same plot but as yet I have no information on those.

As for possible parents and ancestry of my likely Owen Owen #1 there are several candidates.


1. Robert III Owen (1690 - ) [6} and wife (1699 - )
Owen, Robert III [6] 1697 Duck Creek, New Castle, DE - Mar 1754 Merion, Philadelphia, PA m. Humphrey, Rebecca [6] (1697 Duck Creek, New Castle, Delaware, USA - Mar 1754 Merion, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. These have very interesting and illustrious trees going far back but their birth dates are too early to be my Owen Owen's parents.

This is Nancy Owen's choice of parents. However the main problem here is they are too old to be the parents of Owen Owen (1752 - 1819). Rebecca would have been 55 when Owen Owen was born, which is impossible. There are two possible ways around this problem. First one could suspect an intermediate generation between this couple and my Owen Owen (1752 - ) which would work fine age wise but I find no records to suggest anyone. The second is that Owen Owen was born 1724 rather than 1752 and the last two digits were reversed on his stone. There is in fact a different documented Owen Owen (1724 - ) which we consider below.
NANCY OWEN TREE: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/7201668/person/-1104642198/facts


2. Owen Owen (Sr.) s/o Griffith Owen
were prominent and well documented Owens of Welsh Quaker Merion Co, PA then in Philadelphia. Owen Owen (Sr.) married Catherine Lewis (1690 - 1741) in 1722 just 2 years prior to the 1724 birth of Owen (Jr.). The 1876 Bucks County History even states that Owen Owen (Jr.) married a Jane Hughes, the name of my Owen Owen's wife on his stone. However the history also goes on to say they had 8 daughters with NO sons mentioned. If this is correct then it had to be a different Jane Hughes, d/o Christopher Hughes of Bedminster, and in fact there is another Jane Hughes stone near there that is apparently hers. A secondary source but if correct then this is impossible.

However this Owen Owen (Jr.) is the PA one born 1724, supposedly died 1845. And trees state he died 1845 in Carroll Co., VA. However there is also a Carroll Co, MD a lot closer and just east of Frederick Co. where Horseshoe Planation was. However if he did move to VA to Bedford which is close to Carroll, VA he is certainly a good candidate for my Owen Owen. That would take only the single correction of switching the last two digits on his Lynchburg stone, which could be a routine typo transcription error by the stone carver. In any case if he was born 1724 his listed 1845 death date at age 121 is clearly in error, and 1819 would be much more reasonable. This would also be consistent with the 1876 Bucks Co History which states "he was a man of active, vigorous mind, of influence in his day, and lived to the age of ninety" as he would have been 95 at his death in 1819. There is also one tree which has Owen Owen (1750-1845 Carroll, VA) and another Owen Owen (1724-1775).

Also if he still married Jane Hughes (1760 - 1835) age 12 in 1772 when he was 48, which is unusual but certainly possible, she would still be young enough to be Jason Owen's mother in 1792 at age 30 he being age 58, which is again unusual but certainly possible. He would certainly be young enough to father the listed children the first b. 1776 when Jane was 16 which is quite reasonable.

So this scenario is possible though somewhat unlikely on several points. And it does require only the single reversal of the Owen Owen stone birthdate to be consistent with fairly well documented data. And in fact a number of trees give this as the Owen Owen that married Jane Hughes, though some give her birth date as 1748, which would make her 44 in 1792 probably too old to be Jason's mother.

However a possible fly in the ointment of this scenario is the 1876 Bucks County history that states that Owen Owen (Jr.) married a Jane Hughes and had 8 daughters (Catharine, Elizabeth, Ann, Jane, Mary, Margaret, Zillah and Hannah). However this 1876 secondary source could be erroneously listing the children of the other Jane Hughes rather than my Jane Hughes. So this Owen Owen (Jr) is still a reasonable possibility.

To test this scenario should try to find him in Carroll Co, MD. If there then not my Owen Owen. Also finding the Other Jane Hughes and her husband. Checking none of the PA Jane Hughes appear to have married any Owen, most Hughes is married name, so find no other viable Jane Hughes, in particular any with 8 daughters.

***THE OWEN OWEN DATA ABV SUGGESTS 1 OWEN OWEN IN CHESTER, PA WILL 1724-5 (ALSO WILL 1728 MADE & PROBATED DATES OR DIFFERENT PERSONS?), A SON B. <1725 MOVING FROM CHESTER TO NEW CASTLE, DE IN 1738 & 1739. THEN HE GONE FROM NEW CASTLE BY 1740. THAT WOULD BE JUST IN TIME FOR HIM TO APPEAR IN BEDFORD, VA BY 1742.

ALSO, ANOTHER OR SAME?, WILL 1751 IN CHESTER). SO THIS COULD ALSO BE THE NEW CASTLE ONE MOVING BACK TO CHESTER. SO 2 POSSIBILITIES FOR HIM HERE.

NEED TO CHECK WILLS, MADE VS PROBATED & STONES..... ALSO this all depends on dates of PA, MD, DE border & the counties within.

The Mason-Dixon line was surveyed 1763-1767 to settle border dispute between PA, MD & DE. Prior to this MD claim extended N to 40th parallel which crosses PA N of Phil. And in 1682 Penn was granted the three lower counties which later became DE Colony. However MD considered these part of its original grant. In 1732 MD agreed to cede these counties to PA. As part of the agreement the Mason-Dixon line was surveyed to settle the matter.

Likewise West Virginia was long a part of Virginia, and only separated in 1862. Until then references to VA could actually refer to WV.

HISTORY OF LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA

Lynchburg was named for its founder, John Lynch, who at the age of 17 started a ferry service across the James River in 1757. In 1786, the Virginia General Assembly granted Lynch a charter for a town, which took in the 45 acres of land that Lynch owned. Lynchburg was incorporated as a town in 1805, and as a city in 1852.

The Society of Friends, or Quakers, were the first religious group to settle in Lynchburg. The city’s first house of worship was the South River Meeting House of the Society of Friends, located on Fort Avenue. The Meeting House was restored and is now part of Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church. Lynchburg (Susie 434-239-2548)is often called the “City of Churches” for the large number and variety of religious buildings found in the city today.

Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church (http://www.qmpc.org/church.htm) is named in honor of Lynchburg’s early pioneer Quakers, members of the Religious Society of Friends, whose restored eighteenth-century meeting house is located on church property. Sarah Clark Lynch and her son John, founder of the city of Lynchburg, donated land for the South River Meeting House, and the Quaker meeting’s membership grew and flourished. However, financial hardship, accompanied by unpopular Quaker positions on social issues including slavery and their anti-war sentiments, convinced many of the Friends to join the widespread western migration, and the number of Quakers in Lynchburg and the surrounding area dwindled. In 1839, the last meeting was held at South River.The abandoned stone meeting house soon displayed signs of neglect and began to fall into ruins. In 1856, the roof collapsed under heavy snow and little remained except the walls. Nearby, a stout stone wall protected the cemetery of the Quaker dead. This symbol of peace also became a symbol of war when Union army soldiers encamped on the grounds of the abandoned meeting house during the 1864 Battle of Lynchburg.

Tobacco and iron were the chief products of early Lynchburg. The extensive use of Lynch’s ferry system on the James River resulted in Lynchburg becoming one of the largest tobacco markets in the U. S. The James Calloway Furnace, which operated around 1770 until 1779, and the Davie Ross Furnace, which was in business from 1781 until 1837, supplied the Continental Army with pig iron and cannon balls during the American Revolution.

Lynchburg served as a major storage depot during the Civil War, as well as a burial place for many of those killed during the war. Confederate Generals are buried here, including General Jubal Early, who commanded the Confederate forces during the brief Battle of Lynchburg. The breastworks for the defense of the city can still be seen at Fort Early. Lynchburg is also known for its proximity to Appomattox where the Civil War ended on April 9, 1865.

Lynchburg is often called the City of Seven Hills. Each of the hills has an interesting history behind its name. White Rock Hill was named for the beautiful white rocks one could see on the drive up to the hill. Franklin Hill was possibly named for Benjamin Franklin, a frequent visitor to the area. Diamond Hill was perhaps named for the lots on the turnpike that were triangular shaped. Federal Hill could have been named for the Federalist party that was very influential in the early years of Lynchburg’s development. College Hill was named for the military college sponsored by the Methodist Protestants from 1858 until the time of the Civil War. Garland Hill was named for the Garland family that lived there for more than 100 years. Daniel’s Hill was named for Judge William Daniel who owned and subsequently sold most of the land on the hill.

The Seven Hills of Lynchburg are where much of Lynchburg’s history and the projects of the Lynchburg Historical Foundation have taken place. We invite you to read a summary of our mission, programs, coalitions and plans for the future. Please consider helping Lynchburg preserve its past and its future by joining our organization today.

The Miller Claytor LN Riverside Park, Lynchburg, VA was lived in by Owen Owen and Jane Hughes Owen. It was originally located at 863 Church St. where the post office is now.
October 15, 2009 photo of Miller Claytor Home in Lynchburg where Owen Owen lived: Owen-Owen-house.jpg

The later Lynchburg Owens lived in the Point of Honor mansion overlooking the James River. Originally designed and built by ???, a friend of Thomas Jefferson, this was the finest home in early Lynchburg. After the Langhornes left, Point of Honor was sold by Judge Daniel in 1862 to Col. Robert Latham Owen and his family. Owen was the president of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad that ran westward from Lynchburg to Bristol, Virginia on the Tennessee border. During the Civil War, the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad was one of the major arteries transporting troops and supplies for the Confederacy.

Throughout the Civil War the hospitality of Point of Honor was extended to the many Confederate officials and army officers calling on business with Col. Owen. On the eve of the Battle of Lynchburg in June 1864, Mrs. Narcissa Owen recalled how she welcomed two Confederate stragglers onto the porch. After offering what food and refreshment she could, Mrs. Owen attempted to reassure the pair by telling them, the name of every Confederate officer she knew and of all the reinforcements they would be bringing to defend the city. The stragglers were Federal army spies and they immediately reported Mrs. Owen's exaggerations to General Hunter, who withdrew from Lynchburg, possibly convinced that he was heavily outnumbered.
