CandyOTTE To: Anrkee Hi Scott Thanks for keeping me posted on the S.C. Owens family. Here are a couple of thoughts that might add a bit to the puzzle. My research was on the line of Etheldred D. Owens because I was seeking any additional clues to his second wife Ann who was the mother of my ggggrandfather Thomas Brooke by her first husband Thomas Brooke of Maryland who died near Beech Island (Barnwell or Old Winton Co.) S.C. >From the following outline of Etheldred's descendants and other info in my database (much of which duplicates your tree in your recent e-mail) leads me to strongly suspect that Etheldred and Solomon Owens I were most likely brothers and if so perhaps that will narrow down your North Carolina search for Solomon to the Edgecomb County area. I am still hunting for my source on that location but I think it was in another world family tree or may have been from another corresponance. I will let you know if I find it. I have some of Etheldred's estate papers that outline his children. Let me know your thoughts and feel free to share this with the other Owens folks to see if any of these ring bells with them. I have had the info on Solomon and Etheldred for a long time but it just struck me today that they are most likely brothers. Descendants of Etheldred D. Owens 1 Etheldred D.
