In the Vital Records of Uxbridge to 1850, I find the following four births: OWNSLEY, Elizabeth, d. of Judson and Dolly, 6 Feb 1848. OWNSLEY, Josephine, d. of Judson and Dolly, 27 Oct 1846. OWNSLY, Elizabeth Bowers, d. of Willis A.R. and Harriet Newell, 7 Dec 1846. OWNSLY, Emma Wyman, d. of Willis A. R. and Harriet Newell, 6 Apr 1848. The first two are probably the Elizabeth you are looking for and her sister. There are no OWNSLEY marriages in this source so, I imagine, these couples were married before moving to Uxbridge. Perhaps, if your friend were to join the Mendon list, we could help her track them down. Sue Susan M.
