Here is some Owens material: I have two lines; neither have I traced very well: the "M" Owens daughter of Raleigh Owens who married Ransom Ponder and an Owens line that connects with William Hicks.             Here are some of them: David Owens b. 1806 married Melinda Greene Raleigh Owens with a daughter "M" Owens who married Ransom Ponder (she died before 1850) Hampton Owens married Sarah Ponder Richard Owens b. 20 dec. 1842-d. 11 Feb. 1927 (perhaps son of Hampton Owens) Richard Owens married 26 April 1866, Larceny Green (13 June 1847-1 march 1926)  My dad called them Uncle Dick and Aunt Larceny but I have never been able to prove that they were even cousins!
