Owen / Owens from Pa - NE
I am working on my Owen / Owens family from Pa. My family lived in Welsh Hill area of Clifford / South Gibson. The parents were Enos b. about 1792 and Sarah Owen b. about1798 m. 1814 in Penbryn Parish they came to the US from Wales around 1840 first to Utica NY then to Pa.
Their children were:
Alice b.1830 Wales, M. Vaughn Davis 1854 d. 1896 buried Carroll Nebraska their children were Elizabeth, Sarah, Amanda, Anna Marie, Alice, Edward, Rebecca, Enos.

Rebecca b. 1840 b. Utica NY, m. ? Llewellen
Owen b. 1843 Utica NY, m. Sarah Mcpherson d. 1919 their children were Margaret, Fred, Saddie, Lennie.
Mary b. 1843 Utica NY, m. ? Jones had a son named Enos
They had 3 more children 2 males who I was told died in the Libby prison during the civil war. A daughter it was said she was 12 when she came over. She married a Thomas Owens who was a coalminer from carbondale Area. She died during child birth it was said that Thomas left Pa and moved to Utica NY but he was never heard from again. They had a son who's name was Thomas Owens JR. Thomas was left with Enos and Sarah to be raised. Thomas Jr. was born 1846 in Pa. he married a Mary Walker 1871 d. 1915 buried in Union Dale Pa at Lyon Street Cem.
Enos and Sarah also had a boy named John Moses b. 1839 Wales we are not sure what the story is with him we know he came over from Wales with them but we are not sure if h was a child they adopted or if it is one of their own children every place we see his name it just says John Moses not with a Owen at the end.
If you have any information on the family or are working on them people contact me.
