Hi Von, Curious about your Bracketts in VA--how far back do you have? I was told by someone that my John Owen married a Sarah Brackett daughter of a Colonel Brackett ca 1718. I think Sarah had a sister Phoebe. No proof was given and I've never seen the connection again. There were apparently a lot of John Owens in VA at that time & I'm not sure how the writer determined that it was my John Owen... John Owen b 1676 Henrico Co, m. Sarah Brackett (?) ca 1718, d. 1767 Prince Edward Co Dr Thomas Owen b. 1730 Goochland Co, m. Jane Glen Amelia Co, d. 1805 GA Any links there? thanks, Cyndi in Baltimore
