I don't have an Owen Martin in my family line, but I do have a g-aunt whose name has bugged me for a while. Her name is Lillie Dale Owen Martin. That was her given name. I can find no one in my line with the name of Owen. She was born 1-14-1878 in MO. Her father is Thomas W. Martin b. 12-08-1838 in MO. son of Thomas M. Martin b. 1804 in Franklin County, KY/OH/? He was married in Franklin County OH in 1829 to Hannah White. Don't know if there is any connection, but thought it odd about the name.
