Owen M Owens

David and Jane’s youngest son was Owen M Owens. He was born February 7, 1839 near Bala, Merionethshire, Wales. He came to the United States with his family in 1842, and settled with them in Newark, Licking, Ohio. I have not been able to find any information on whether or not Owen served in the civil war, but he married Sara Catherine Hommon in 1869. In 1870 they were living in Henderson, Knox, Illinois, where he was a miller. In 1880 and 1885 they were living in Linn, Dallas, Iowa where he had purchased a mill and was farming. By 1900 he had retired to Santa Cruz, California. He lived in Santa Cruz until his death on February 23, 1923. Sara Catharine died in 1937.
Owen and his wife had seven children, Jennie May, Nellie Agnes, Arthur C, Clark, Grace B, Orville M, and Earl Leroy.
