Book Synopsis
This is a substantive record of the ancestry of the Owens families of the northern neck of Virginia, A.D. 1960 to 1178 B.C. The first few chapters are specific to my family tree, starting with Eustace Conway Owens, and following his lineage back to Brutus Silvius, the founder and first King of Britain. However, if your last name is Owens or you have an Owens, Owain, Owen, Jones, Via, Flory, Diehl, Powell, Lewis, Tanner, Tudor, Ludlow, Morris, Merrick, or Meyrick in your family tree, our bloodlines may cross somewhere in this history. Each chapter is representative of a generation. Some Chapters include copies of documents, pictures, or photographs. Historians and scholars still argue today about the validity of some pedigrees, and at times employ a ‘best guess’ method to make certain determinations. It is my hope that you and anyone else interested in the ancestry of America will enjoy these pages, and that it sparks your imagination and interest, even if your name isn't Owens.
