I would like to contact anyone doing research on the OWENS families of Massac Co., IL between about 1865 to 1940's and later. My OWENS line was in Massac Co., around Unionville, and the Metropolis area. Ancestors included: Levi and Martha J. OWENS, and their children: James J. OWENS, Samuel Thomas OWENS, Sarah OWENS who married a DEAN, and Blitha L. OWENS who married Mary Jane WETHERINGTON. My grandfather, Earl R. OWENS, along with Ernest OWENS, and Artie G. OWENS (NEFTZGER), were children of Blithey L. and Mary Jane OWENS. Thanks for any help. Regina OWENS Rice Bonita Springs, FL
