I am also interested in the OWEN DNA Project. My brother has agreed to be tested for our line. Please let me know the necessary steps. We have traced our line to Fauquier County, Virginia. Harrison OWEN was born in Virginia on October 4, 1786 and died in Madison Co., Alabama, November 22, 1843. Harrison married Lucy G. VAUGHAN in Culpeper County, Virginia, in August 1805. On the 1810 Fauquier County Census, Harrison and Lucy have four children, two boys and two girls, all under the age of 5! In May 1825, Harrison and Lucy's daughter, Maria F. OWEN, married Thornton PATTIE in Fauquier County, Virginia. According to the Nashville Christian Advocate, Harrison and his family also moved to Madison County, Alabama in 1825. Two other children have been identified for Harrison and Lucy: Thomas J(efferson) OWEN and Elizabeth G. OWEN LESSLEY ROBERTSON. It is assumed that the other son died at an early age. My brother and I descend from Thomas Jefferson OWEN. Thank you. Nancy Owen Baker

For anyone interested in joining a Surname DNA Project; I would go to www.familytreeDNA.com and look at the Surnames they have (they have over 800 projects, many with variant spellings). Go to the Surname project of interest and either order a kit from the drop down menu (you can pay by credit card or have them bill you), or contact the Surname Project administrator. I have now opened our BARTLETT-DNA Project up to BARCLAYs, BARTLEYs, BARKLEYs, BERKELEYs and any other variant that might have been used for BARTLETT (or vice versa). The DNA results speak for themselves - they either match someone else's DNA or they don't - we have found either result to be very helpful. Each DNA result carries a lot of info - I personally am very interested in the "deep ancestry." In my case that means that my ancestors came out of Africa and turned right, to the Middle East, where they were during the last Ice Age, say 10,000 years ago, and then about 8,000 years ago (after the glacier receded) they came back, westward, along the Mediterranean Sea - at some point between then and say 500 years ago, they were in England from whence their descendants traveled to the new world. My particular DNA Haplogroup (E3b) accounts for about 10% of the population of Europe. The most common DNA Haplogroup (R1b) waited out the last Ice Age in Spain, and then followed the receding glacier up into Europe (over many generations, naturally) - they account for about 80% of the population of Europe today...
