I am searching for the parents of my ggg grandfather, James H. Owen b. 1825-6 Newburgh, Orange Co., NY d.1891 Fostertown, Orange Co., NY, and the two candidates listed below are competing for this exalted position. First is Jonathan Owen who appears on the 1820, 1830 and 1840 US Census living in Newburgh, Orange Co., NY. >From the 1830 census we surmise that he was born between 1781-1790 as was his wife and that he had 5 children as follows: 1. Male b. 1816-1820 2. Male b. 1821-1825 (could be James H.) 3. Female b. 1821-1825 4. Female b. 1826-1830 5. Female b. 1826-1830 the other is Benjamin Owen who appears on the 1820 and 1840 Census living in Newburgh (not on the 1830 Census at all) and from the 1820 & 1840 Census we gather that he was born 1791-1794 as was his wife and that he had 7 children as follows: 1. Male b. 1811-1820 2. Male b. 1811-1820 3. Female b. 1821-1825 4. Male b. 1826-1830 (Could be James H.) 5. Male b. 1826-1830 6. Female b. 1826-1830 7. Female b. 1831-1835 Can anyone on the list identify Jonathan Owen or Benjamin Owen from the above descriptions?
