Guy Owen came to Franklin Co from Riga, NY between abt. 1813 and 1820. Listed in the 1820
thru 1850 census in Franklin Co. I can find no record of his death, burial place, etc
after that 1850 census. I have looked at cemetary and church list, but nothing to date.
Guy and wife Lucy or Lovica (no surname has been found-one family legend has her as a
native American Indian...??)came with 5 children (Horace, Samuel, George, Calvin,
Caroline) and they all settled, lived and died in IN, IA, or OH (my direct Calvin moved to
OH in 1850). George either stayed in NY, or moved back..??-we have lost him.
Any info re: this family would be very welcome, especially about Guy's death/burial.
They lived in Whitewater for many years, so hopefully we can uncover something about their
lives on the frontier.
I do have a lot of info re the family before and after Guy and am happy to share, if that
is of interest.
Thanks,
John Owen
