OWEN - New York Marriage Look-up - Please Help!!
Hello,
Can anyone out there please help me to locate the Unknown OWEN parents of these 6 children, all supposedly born in Orange Co., NY?
While not 100% certain, we believe the father may have been born in CT., and may have had the name "Jonathan" or "John" Owen. He was supposedly killed by Indians before 1800. There has not been a clue as to who the mother was. We suspect they are the same OWEN family who lived in Ulster & Orange Counties in the early 1700-1800s, possibly members of the First Presb. Church of Orange Co, NY(?) Listed here are their known children (there may be more):
1. William OWEN b: 22 Feb 1774; Father of Charles C. Owen, b. 1807, Goshen, Orange Co. NY, m. Elizabeth Clark, d/o Elijah B. Clark and Mary Ann Yerkes, of PA. Charles died in MI or WI before 1870, fathered 9 or 10 children, wife Elizabeth died after 1880 in NB. (They are our direct-line ancestors)
2. Sarah OWEN b: 17 Jul 1776 in NY, father listed as Rev War Vet of Ulster Co (1790 census), m. Townsend Thacker, 8 children
3. Polly OWEN b: 9 Aug 1779
4. Phoebe OWEN b: 2 Apr 1781
5. Joseph OWEN b: 6 Nov 1783
6. Asa OWEN b: 15 Feb 1785 in Goshen, Orange Co., NY, d. 3 Oct 1877, Orion, Oakland Co., MI, m. first Lucinda Corwin, d/o Asa Corwin of PA, m. second Martha Travis, Oakland Co., MI
Any information provided will be very much appreciated and I thank you for your time!!
Sincerely,
Cynthia Owen-Gaines
