Mary McCain was left 1/3 of balance of estate...and at her death, to go to he her son Willia m McCain and if he had no legal heirs, it would bo to his (Owen's) Legal heirs. Was Mary a person who produced a son for him, after his wife's death? (25 Oct. 1805)
In the Owen Assoc. there is a referance worth putting here..as it probably ties in to his fam ily..."We can easliy see the the Hendrick family had contact with Cumterland Co and Halifax Co. In this 1790 Obadiah Hendrick Estate there were notes om many different people of interest to us-John Craddock -was he related to the Samuel Craddock who received the 1793 land grant with John Cave, John Echols and William Glover?, Gustavus Hendrick, Bernard Hendrick, Elizabeth Hubbard---Richard Echols Brother Abraham had a dtr Elizabeth Echols who married a Hubbard..Is this she? --- Owen West (his mother, Jane Owen, a descendant of Philadelphia Owens, married Joseph West, whose well-known brother, Benj. West, painted the portait of King George III and was a founder and President of the Royal Academy in London. Joseph and Jane died in Pittsylvania Co Va-- Jeremiah Echols, Abraham Echols, Josiah Echols and Benjamin Hendrick." There is more here, but I do not tie it in, and will not type it now.
It then says: "Above it was suggested the wife of Dr Thomas Owen was Jane
Glenn.
In an inquiry from Lynn Wood, Published in the Owen Newsletter, it was stated
Dr Thomas Owens wife was Jane McDearmond. Are Jane Flenn and Jane McDearmond
the same person? Is she mentioned in the will of Michael McDearmondro, probated
in Prince Edward Co Va. 1865? " This was page 4, and I have page 5 sent to me, but not page 3 , which is the odvious referance.
He was in Wilks Co Ga. first...and William and his wife Drucilla Echols did the same thing. T hey could have been the sons of Richard Owens Sr how died in
Halifax Co Va 1756.
In Pittsylvania Co Va, Chatham is now the county seat is now Danville the

After the war Dr Thomas bought new property which was available in
Ogle Co Ga..later Greene Co and moved his family there. The land he bought was offered for s ale by the State of Ga. It was land which the state had planned to use as a site for a state univ, but the plan was abandoned when the residents of Greensboro objected that the students might destroy their
shrubbery. Dr Owen bought the land which included the present sites of the

From Genforum
Doing research in Meriwether Co. Ga. today and ran across a book called OLD FIRST DISTRICT O F MERIWETHER CO. GA. AND ITS PEOPLE complied by Mary J Gilbert and Charlotte Daniel. In it is quite a lenghty profile on The George Owen Family. George Owen was born in Virginia in 1771, the son of Doctor Thomas Owen. Jane Owen, the sister of George, married Harrison Musgrove in Pitsylvania Co. Virginia, April 16, 1782. Records indicate that the Owen family lived in that county. In the 1780's the Owens had moved to Wilkes Co. Ga. and George Owen, while living there, was given Power of Attorney, November 1792, by his brother Glenn Owen, Thomas Owen, and Harrison Musgrove, his brother-in-law, to act for them in a legal matter. (will abbreviate from here) Doctor Thomas Owen and some of his children moved to Greene Co. Ga. where in 1797 Thomas Owen,Jr. died. In 1805, Doctor Thomas Owen died, and in his will he names his son George as executor. The legatees of his extate were his daughters, Ann Rutledge, Jane Musgrove, and his sons, Glenn Owen and George Owen. Also mentioned were Mary McCain and her son William McCain. George then moves to Monroe Co in an area that later became Butts Co. then he moved to Meriwether Co. There's more that may interest you. If this seems to fit e-mail me and I'll send you a copy of the whole thing. Good luck, Sharron Nehring
