I cannot help you as yet in any links with Thomas Ellis Owen, son of Jacob Owen and Mary Underhill. I live in Southsea, England and Thomas Ellis Oqen was a Mayor of Portsmouth twice and he was one of 17 children, nine of which were baptised here in Portsmouth. His father Jacob was born in North Wales and he married Mary the daughter of his boss (he was apprenticed to William Underhill. T E Owen grave is now lost under a block of flats in the Milton district of Portsmouth. The city of Portsmouth has plans to commemorate him with a plaque in the near future
Just thought I would add to your Owens!!!
Kindest regards

(PS I am not related in any way to any Owens that I know of)
