I am also seeking additional information on any of the descendants of John Owen and Lydia Fox who came from Stephenson County, IL in 1870 to Nebraska and settled in Saunders County. They had a large family and while I have accumulated alot of information on the OWEN lines, I am always interested in making new connections. John Owen was born in Wales in 1818 and came to Canada in 1839 and then to Illinois in 1840, marrying Lydia in 1842. Their youngest child Ellen Josephine Owen was my paternal G-grandmother, who married Herman Richard Harrison.
