Contributor KMN provided this reference for John's YoD as 1724, for which we are most appreciative :

This is a source at WikiTree, Profile Robey-215 saying that the death year was 1724 according to a Chancery Court Book 7 p 410-413:

Notes:

See "Owen Family News," March 2005, Vol 20, Issue 1, p. 6, "WHO WAS ELIZABETH ROWLAND OWEN?" by Jane Owen Hillard: "When Elizabeth Rowland married Richard B. Owen (probably in Surry County, VA), she became part of the family of the storied Goronwy Owen, an obscure but honored name all over the South. Goronwy (variant spellings: Gronow, Gronau, Goronoway, et al.) was born poor in Wales in 1723. [Please note that, by that date, the other Richard Owen (born in Virginia and totally unrelated to Goronwy and his descendants), with his wife Elizabeth, had produced at least 9 of their 11 children.]"

NOTE: I've skipped two paragraphs here about Goronwy to save space. ....resuming....

"So who is Richard B. Owen (by the way, the B stands for Brown), who married Elizabeth Rowland? Some say he was a son by Goronwy's second marriage. Let us here point out--as an earlier editor of the newsletter did, years ago--sixteenth, seventeenth, and early eighteenth century parents gave their children one one name (besides the surname). By the end of the eighteenth century, there was such confusion caused by naming children for parents, uncles, and cousins that a second give name was introduced. But you knew that!

Richard B. Owen (born so many years after MY Richard Owen had DIED) and his wife Elizabeth Rowland Owen, never lived in Halifax County, and I can assure you that Richard Owen of Halifax County never lived in Surry or Brunswick County. My newly-found 'cousins' and I laugh about our Owen male ancestors who marry late or produce children into old age. But I will never believe that one of them married a woman 150 years his junior. They're not that virile!

Now, the corollary question: Who was Elizabeth Owen, wife of Richard Owen of Halifax County, Virginia? Who was her father, and what was her maiden name? Answer: We'll never know."

Ran out of space; please read Jane's article.

Bottom line: Richard Owen's wife was NOT named Sarah Elizabeth Rowland!!!!! Elizabeth Unknown is correct.
