Hi Tonya, Re: Owen surname in Troup Co, GA I have an Owen connection in Troup/Greene/Wilkes (GA) but can't help with yours--yet! My Thomas Owen b. 3/19/1730 in Goochland VA seems to have been in Wilkes Co, GA very early (1773) . I can't tell exactly when or where but by 1780s he owned land around Wilkes and Greene. He died in Greene Co in 1805. I need a list of his children! Is there a will? His daughter Ann Owen married James Rutledge. James Rutledge had several dealings with a Glenn & George Owen in the late 1700's in Wilkes. James died in 1824 in Wilkes, but wife Ann Owen Rutledge died in Troup Co. I don't know why she went to Troup but am guessing she had family there... Owen or Rutledge? Also connected with this group are Lumpkin, Echols, Glass, Shearer, Duke, Partridge. Lots of records in Wilkes Co on these people but I want to connect the dots! What records are available in Troup? In Greene? I'd love to hear from anyone with info on these people in the late 1700's!
