I am looking for additional descendants and information on the following family. I am working on documenting this family. I want to find anyone who can give me additional clues on where to look for sources on this family. There is a lot of conflicting information out there on this family, which does not match with censuses, etc. Any help would be appreciated. This is a work in progress. Corrections and/or additions are gratefully accepted. Compiled by Sidney Kay Wells [skwidney@earthlink.net] 1. Daniel OWEN "Dan" was born on 21 Jun 1812 in , Floyd, Kentucky.
