Surname: OWENS, MUSGROVE, WHITTINGTON, ROBERTSON
This is what I have been able to piece together about
My 3gUncle, Elias OWENS who was born in Mason CO Ky c 1826, immigrated
to Clark CO
MO where he married his 1st wife, and then to Wahoe CO NV circa
1855-1860 with his wife,
Arminta Jane Lewellen Owens (1830-?1900) and their children, William
Taylor OWENS c1852,
Mary Jane OWENS c 1848, & John "Frank" OWENS c 1852, Nancy OWENS c1861
&
?Carson c 1862 Owens. Elias was a Farmer in Lewistown. They went to
Washoe Co NV from
Missouri with William Gilbert(2) Musgrove, a cousin & family who had a
sawmill in Washoe CO.
Elias & Arminta div and she married an unknown Johnson and had 4 unknown
children by Mr.
Johnson. She died in Bodie Twp Mono CO CA after 1900. I believe that
Elias married again and
that he too died in CA.
We are hoping to make contact with some of their descendants. We have
been able to locate
descendants of all of Elias' 4 siblings except Elias. We are hoping to
find descendants of Elias &
Arminta Jane Lewellen OWENS through this list. In the past year we have
been able to trace their
ancestory back 5 more generations. Can anyone help us? I have a picture
of Uncle Elias taken in
Virginia City NV which he sent to his brother, my 3d gGrandfather Isaac
Newton OWENS.
Thank you and Best of luck with your searches. Joann Lucas Conrad, ST
Louis MO.
