Greetings,
I have been lurking for a while and I guess it is
about time to post my interests.
William OWENS married Lucy WORSHAM
on Feb 19, 1843 in Wayne County, Indiana.
Lucy had previously been married to a
Mr. HUDSON who abandoned her and moved
to Iowa. She had 2 children with Mr. HUDSON.
One of those children, Harriet HUDSON, was
alive as of the 1850 census.
William OWENS had 7 children with his first
wife before he married Lucy. I suspect he
died before 1850 as he does not appear on
the 1850 census with Lucy and the children.
7 children born before 1843 would place him
as being born around 1809 or thereabouts.
William and Lucy had 3 children all born
in Wayne County, Indiana.
Ann OWENS b. abt 1844,
Elizabeth OWENS b. abt 1845
William OWENS b. abt 1846
I am descended from Ann OWENS and she is
the only one of these folks that I have
more information about.
Ann OWENS married John WASSON on
Sept 18, 1864 in Richmond, Wayne, Indiana.
They had 6 children all born in Milton, Wayne, Indiana
I am trying to get all the clues I can before I start
writing and visiting places. Thanks ahead of time for
any assistance you may have.
