These are my Owen County connections. I would be very happy to find out if anyone else connects with these lines. The descendants of many of these people moved on to Casey County, Kentucky. Richard Thomas Smither b. 1829 (probably Owen County); md 1853 in Owen County. His father was John SMITHER md 1804 in Owen. Richard Thomas SMITHER had a son Benjamin Head SMITHER b. 1863 and md. 1885 in Owen. Richard Thomas SMITHER was md to Margaret THACKETT who might have an Owen County connection. Eliza Ann PERKINS was b. 1864 and md. 1885 in Owen. Her father was Jacob PERKINS md 1852 in Owen. Eliza's mother was Nancy MAXWELL, no dates available. Recognize any of these names (please, please!)?? Phyllis Smither St. Paul, MN pktwitty@aol.com
