Searching for other Surname Owen(s) researcher in Isle of Wight, Newport Parish VA. and Edgecombe Co. NC. I am searching for Elisha Owen(s) and Family in Edgecombe Co. NC in the late 1700's. They lived on the border of Edgecombe Co. and Pitt Co. NC. They lived a few miles north of the town of Fountain NC. Elisha Owens and his wife Amey had the following children: John Owens Etheldred Owens Robert Owens Nancy Owens Alpheus Owens Elisha Owens Jr. It is believed that Elisha Owen(s) descended from John Owen who lived in the area of Newport Parish VA. It is believed that John Owen sold his land in Newport VA to Elias Owens his son in 1789 and moved to Edgecombe Co. NC by 1790. The descendents of John Owen and his wife Sarah Duck are though to be: Elias Owens Elisha Owens William Owens Dempsey Owens John Owens Jr. Would appreciate sharing information with other Owen(s) Researchers William Owens
