THE authoritative source for the Richard Owings line from Maryland in the 1690's into Laurens County in the early 1700's with a branch (mine) into Kershaw county by 1750 is Addison Owings book on Richard Owings Fanily. We are trying to put together a group of 50 or so people to cost justify the reprint of the 3rd Edition (1985) of Addison Owings' book of Richard Owings Family from Baltimore. No updates, just a reprint. If your are interested, drop me an email at [email protected] Even if you have swapped emails, please send me another. I will know more about cost in a few days and will let you know. If you would consider buying more than one copy (depending upon cost of course), let me know that, too W A "Bil" Brasington 3703 Sunstone Drive Houston, Texas 77068-1203 www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/r/a/William-A-Brasington/ http://freeweb.pdq.net/Bil_Brasington/SeedCorn.htm http://www.geocities.com/screbels_1864/SC_Militia.html To steal from one person is plagiarism.
