This is the Third Edition and contains updates to information, an epilogue, and an index.
Sometimes history can be more entertaining than fiction..."William Owen II, Knight and 3rd Baronet of Anglesey, fled Wales and immigrated to the colonies in A.D.1650 for fear of being murdered by his cousin, who bribed the English Crown to be named 1st Baronet of Orielton, stealing the title and position from him after the death of William's father".
A genealogy of the Owens families of the northern neck of Virginia. It all starts in the town of Owens, Virginia with Eustace Conway Owens, then follows the Owens bloodline back to Brutus, the founder and first King of Britain. Three generations and extended family, such as marriages and in-laws, are included in most every chapter. Travel back through time from colonial Virginia in 1650, to medieval Wales, then to Scotland, and finally to the founding of ancient Britain. The first paragraph of each chapter contains the subject's name, other names they were known by, titles, monikers, ranks, and basic personal data when available, i.e., date of birth, place of birth, christening or baptism, date of death, place of death, date of burial, and place of burial. The story or narrative of each person begins with the second paragraph. This usually starts with information regarding the subject's place of birth or marriage with a list of their children. Where available, biographical information is provided for the subject's children, or a short sub-paragraph of available facts. In the case of limited information, the subject's story or narrative may be a short statement giving the reason for the lack of information. It is my hope that you and anyone else interested in the ancestry of America will enjoy these pages, and that it sparks your imagination and interest in researching your family history.
