Jonet Owen

Sir Hugh Owen by his wife Elizabeth Wirriott had issue two sons and five daughters.

VI. Janet, or (as she is called in the inquisition hereinafter alluded to) Jennette, the fourth daughter of Sir Hugh, married John Laugharne, of St. Bride's, co. Pemb. This John Laugharne lived in the time of the Great Civil War between the Parliament and Charles I. From the first outbreak of the war he sided strongly with the Parliament, and it was his influence chiefly that made Pembroke so celebrated a stronghold for the Parliament cause. When the Earl of Carberry, the King's Lieutenant-General in West South Wales, placed garrisons in the principal strongholds in Pembrokeshire, John Laugharne "left his country habitation, and, with his whole family, a few servants excepted, betook himself to the town of Pembroke,” where his son, the afterwards celebrated Major-General Rowland Laugharne, and the Mayor of Pembroke, the afterwards celebrated Col. John Poyer, were at the head of a small body of Parliamentary adherents.
