My gggrandfather, David F. Shaner, of Apollo, Armstrong Co., m. MARTHA JANE OWENS. 1848 -1904. 1850 and 1860 census records for Westmoreland Co., Allegheny Twp., list LAZARUS (b. abt 1822) and ELIZABETH OWENS as parents of Martha Jane. In the same records, living immediately next door, are HUGH (b. abt 1170) and MARTHA OWENS, and I therefore have suspected that they are the parents of Lazarus. Now, however, in WFT, Vol.1 CD, I find a JOSEPH OWENS, b. abt 1781 in Wales, d. 12 June 1876 in Allegheny Twp., Westmoreland Co., and wife Elizabeth. They have children, from abt. 1803 - 1820, as follows: Ellen, Mary, John, Joshua, Samuel, Henry, and LAZARUS, b. abt 1820, d. 16 February 16, 1896, Washington Twp., Westmoreland Co. Could this be my Lazarus? I would appreciate any information or suggestions concerning this Owens family. Thanks very much, Sally Shaner sshaner@alaweb.com
