The origins of William Owen are unknown to me.

Top of Page

Born: Before 1630, based on date of marriage of 1650. Could be earlier.

Spouse: Elizabeth Davis, September 29, 1650, in Braintree, Norfolk Co, Mass. She was the daughter of the Widow Davis, who married Charles Grice. Charles Grice referred to William Owen as his son-in-law in his 1661 will. Elizabeth is likely that one year old child referred to by Savage as being on the ship "Elizabeth" in 1635 with her mother, the widow Margery Davis. See the Davis Home Page. (See Torrey and Ancestors of American Presidents, Fillmore tfel). Using this set of facts, she would have been 16 when she married. Torrey reports she died in 1702, which using 1634 as her date of birth would make her 66 years old. Torrey reports both she and her husband died in the same year.

Immigration: Unknown to me. Could he be the son of an older immigrant? Could he be a later stand-alone immigrant?

Residences: Braintree, Norfolk Co, Mass

Death: 1702, per Torrey. Age approximately 70 or older.

Estate/Will: I have found none to date.

Notes re Children: I have not found an authoritative list of their children at this point. See Savage below.

A search of booksellers turns up empty for a published genealogy for him. My sources so far include only Savage, Torrey, and Ancestors of American Presidents.
