Benjamin Owens 
Benjamin was born on December 16th, 1766 in North Castle, Westchester County, New York.1 Benjamin's father was Jonathan III Owen and his mother was Jane Lockwood. His paternal grandparents were Jonathan II Owen and Rachel Woodworth; his maternal grandparents were Joseph Lockwood and Sarah Hoyt. He had five brothers and two sisters, named Jonathan IV, Levi, Samuel, Isreal, Solomon, Abby and Mary. He was the fourth oldest of the eight children. He died at the age of 43 in 1809 in New York or Canada.General Notes
According to 4/17/2005 email from Bruce Warner (bruce_warner@@msn.com or
bruce.warner@@kerngas.com): "Yes, I think the line of "orphan" J. C. Owens
Sr. has been established beyond reasonable doubt. It happened in this
way. I hired a librarian at BYU to send me copies of any document from
the Nauvoo period mentioning any member of the Owens family. One that I
received from him was a one page biography ( a 70's quorum project) of
Horace Owens in his handwriting which stated, " I Horace, son of James,
son of Benjamin". That was the key to solving the problem. My aunt Lenore
had previously hired Rice Price, a SLC professional genealogist, to
search for such a link, and sent him a copy of this document. Armed with
this, Rick found four Benjamin Owens's in NY state, elimanted three, and
the last fit all the matching info, including a Canada connection. (My
speculation from the dates is that Benjamin may have been a Tory, and
died in Canada). The line went from Benjamin back four more generations
to George Owen of Bristol, across the bay from Wales. I later found
something that suggested the George Owen line continued back to Oswestry,
on the Welsh border, but haven't taken the time to check that out
yet....Best Regards, Cousin Bob Owens"
