Can anyone document Joseph Allen Dailey's name?

Asking because I keep seeing him as Owen Dailey / Daley and even Joseph Allen 'Owen' Dailey. There are documents for Owen but I haven't found a single one for Joseph Allen.

He's my direct ancestor and my son and I both show in the atDNA matches on his Wiki page:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dailey-1425

I'd just love to know if his name was really Owen.

Thanks in advance for any clarification on why the inconsistencies in his name.

First thing I had to do was fix the URL to the corresponding FamilySearch.org profile <wink>; FYI: when one finds a 'bad' link, usually the FS "ID" is still valid -- just the form of the URL has to be update. (i.e.: copy the "ID" portion from the current URL, then search over on FS for that profile, and pick up the 'current' URL to paste back into the Geni profile About.)

While there (on FS), someone had added a note about the name; I copied that note into his About -- and updated the name.

Thanks so much, Dan! I'm adding that note into his profile notes in my Ancestry tree because that Joseph Allen 'Joe' vs. Owen issue has been going on for years! SO happy to finally know for sure he was Owen! Thank you, thank you!
