Dear Sam and Georgia, I'm afraid I can't add anything to the converstaion on the Phillips and the Davises. Samuel Owen's father Samuel came from Whiteland Twp., PA and settled in Lancaster County; he was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Owen. Thomas died in Whiteland in 1720, Elizabeth in Willistown in 1741. [Thomas and his wife and family came from Rhydwillam, Carmarthenshire (circumstantial), Wales to Whiteland Twp. in 1710\11. They were members of the Baptist Church in the Great Valley. Samuel died before his mother, in 1740. He was farming in Lancaster County (which may have become a part of Cumberland Co. -- I don't know a lot about the history of these two counties) but may have died in Maryland (indicated by his will abstract). Samuel and his wife Margaret (maiden name unknown) had Ezekiel, Hannah, Sarah, Owen, and Samuel. Their daughter Sarah married Owen Davis (is that right, Sam?). Samuel (I) had a son Ezekiel who left a will in Cumberland County which mentions Uncle Thomas (Samuel Owen's younger brother) and Thomas's son Eleazar. Samuel (I)'s brother Owen married Catherine _____. Her second husband was Evan Phillips. I have no idea if they had any children. Evan's first wife was Margaret Thomas, and they had Margaret, Ann, and John Phillips. I konw nothing about these children. If you want additional information on the Owen, let me know.

I have Edward ROBERTS who married Alice Rambo. Edward and Alice had a daughter, Jemimah, who married Benjamin DAVIS. Jemimah has a sister Alice who married Alexander PHILLIPS. These are all in the Montgomery County area...branching out into Chester County. Benjamin Davis was b. ca 1767. He married Jemimah in the German Reformed Church in Philadelphia in 1792. Benjamin has a sister, Ann Davis, who married Jesse OWEN. Benjamin's aunt, Elizabeth DAVIS, married Nathaniel GRIFFITH. Nathaniel Griffith was from Bucks County where the Griffiths lived next door to, and intermarried with, the ABRAHAM family. I'm very interested in your family. All the names are the same...the dates are right...the locations are probably good....but it is probably all just coincidence....dead ends don't get help this easily!!!!1 I'd love to know more about your Owen Davis and James Davis. I forgot to mention that Evan Griffith married Mary JAMES as his third wife. He died in 1758. His previous wife was Sarah Coffin. Evan and Sarah were the parents of Nathaniel who married Elizabeth Davis (Benjamin's sister). I missed the post from Karen to which Sam was replying. Could someone forward it to me? Love to hear from anyone who heard bells when they read my long, sad story....all these names....no ancestors!!!!!! Well hardly any....
