Surnames: Owens, Talley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lh.2ADE/2068.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: This is the information that I have. There are others out there who have more information than I do.The Nathaniel Owens that I am referring to was the son of John Owens from Virginia (no other information). His brothers were Basil, John Jr., William, and Elijah (my g-g-g grandfather who died in 1835). Nathaniel married three times. First to Frances Turner, who died about January 18, 1826. They had one daughter that I know of, Minerva Ann Owens. Then he married Susannah Bass on May 31, 1827 in Bartholomew Co. Finally, he married Sarah Wishard on February 29, 1844 in Shelby Co., Indiana. I got my information from various cousins who researched the primary sources, including public records and notes from an interview conducted with Nathaniel Owens in 1881. Ruth A. Borchers wrote a book, The Descendants of Nathaniel Owens, Sr.: and Frances (Turner) Owens, Susannah (Bass) Owens, Sarah (Wishard) Hill Owens. I just came across the title recently and do not yet know how to purchase! a copy. Hope this helps.
