I need help finding information about my gg grandmother, Margaret Owen, married to Samuel
Owen. Some people show her maiden name to be Chance, perhaps part of the Pernell, Tilman,
John Chance family. I can't find any "proof". Can someone help me make a
connection? The Clay County, Indiana census of 1850 shows Samuel Owen, age 44, and wife
Margaret, age 37. She is shown as being born in North Carolina. At the time they had 10
children: Andrew, Janetta, Samuel, Margaret, a female child listed as Marlin (but I
wonder if it was the census taker's mistake and it should be Starlin or Starling),
Nancy, Elizabeth, Pernal, John, and Minerva. Later, Samuel and Margaret moved to
Ormanville, Iowa and had four more children: Leonard, Mary Frances, Elijah, and William.
Samuel and Margaret were buried in the Ormanville cemetery. She died 5/15/1899. Is there
anyone who knows if Margaret belongs to a Chance family? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
