Wow, you have an incredible site! I was unable to find sources, however. As to the wife of Richard Owen, my 6g grandfa, [b c1675-79; d will dated 27 Aug 1753, probated 17 Jun 1756 Halifax Co, VA] he was NOT married to Elizabeth Rowland. A different Richard Owen m an Elizabeth Rowland many years after "our" Richard had died. See Jane Hillard Owen's definitive article on same (she died in 2016 at age 89--an Owen authority). I tried to post it here--could not do so. See "Owen Family News," March 2005, Vol. 20, Issue 1, page 6. Jane says we'll never know our Elizabeth's maiden name--it is lost to history. Note: In the probate of Richard's will on 17 Jun 1756, it is stated: "Elizabeth Owen, Widow, Relict and Executrix of the Testator therein also appointed being Dead..." So we know the 3-year timeframe in which Elizabeth died.
