Owen THOMAS had property in Frederick Co., VA, purchased in 1751. Owen md. Mary (Polly) HARDIN, daughter of Major John HARDIN, whom lived in Hampshire Co., next to Frederick Co., at the time . Owen sold the Frederick Co. property in 1771. Some references state that he moved to George's Creek, Fayette Co., PA with the HARDINs in late 1771, but I cannot find Owen there. One reference states that his children were born, starting in 1752, in Rowan Co., NC and Sumner Co., TN---can't find him in either of those two areas. He couldn't have been in two places at the same time, right? Did he just own the property in Frederick Co. and live somewhere else? Are these family histories confused??? I sure am! Does anyone have references about this family to help explain this? Thanks! Email sundea2@aol.com.
