All Owen County Genealogists and Historians:
"It appears that Owen County was originally settled by various
affiliated or extended families. These families contained various
surnames that had traveled together from some common county and state,
and in some cases from a still earlier county. In the county just prior
to the migration to Owen County, Indiana, they frequently allied
themselves with other families that had done the same and then these
augmented and affiliated families moved to Owen County, Indiana. The
purpose of this survey is to get some better idea as to how much of Owen
County was settled by these homogeneous groups rather than by
individuals moving into the county." Roger Peterson's statement.
For those that are interested please join our survey that is listed
on the main page of the Owen County Historical & Genealogical Society.
