Notes:

Katherine is named in the will of her Godfather Christopher Lewis in 1674.

On Aug. 10 1676, the title to two cows with calves was recorded in her name at the request of her father.

This is quite an important deed. Recall that the will of Richard Jordan II left to his son Charles Jordan the land he had bought out of the Bartholomew Owen patent of 1673. In 1695 Robert Owen sold 110 acres of his father's patent to Joshua Proctor [D&WB 5, p89] describing it as adjacent to Richard Jordan. This means Proctor's land bordered the Jordan plantation to the west. Joshua Proctor left this land in his 1718 will to his son Nicholas Proctor. Now Nicholas Proctor is describing it as adjacent Robert Jordan. (The other three names bordered on the north and east. We can show that they had bought land adjacent the old Owen patent as well.) The rest of Proctor's land was bought from William Rogers Jr. on 15 July 1728, part of a joint patent to William Rogers Sr. and Joshua Proctor (both sons-in-law of Bartholomew Owen).

The Owen Family in America

The principal information sources for the OWEN family in America are "An Early Owen Connection," by Sue Mathys in The Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 25, pages 243-48, and "Owen-Kearby-Turley Connection," by Alberta Dennstedt in The Virginia Genealogist, published in three parts beginning on page 163 of Volume 23. Assistance in locating and interpreting these articles was given by Jann Babb. As noted in the narrative, undocumented sources provide some information. Additional information, particulary for the descendants of William and Lydia OWEN, is from the WorldConnect OWENS database <http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=owens> prepared by Charles S. Owens.

Bartholomew and Joanna Owen:

Bartholomew OWEN - bap. Aug. 24, 1619, Steventon Parish, Berkshire, England; d. 1677/8, Surry Co., VA. Probable son of Robert OWEN and Joane WHITE. The earliest record of Bartholomew in America is 1658, but the related Court records in Surry Co., VA from 1658 to late 1660 indicate he was probably well established had some sort of dispute with Thomas GRAY, an early Planter. The Court found that Bartholomew was guilty of scandalous and defamatory language in the case.On Oct. 17, 1659, Bartholomew served on an Inquest Jury in an accidental death. He was a Church Warden of Southwark Parish in 1661. In a land sale of Mar. 1, 1661 and cattle sale of Apr. 1, 1662, Bartholomew was called Gentleman. On Nov. 3, 1663, Bartholomew lost a suit and forfeited 2129 pounds of tobacco, and in 1664 he was co-surety on a King's bond of 10,000 pounds of tobacco. These and other land and Court records between 1658 and 1670 indicate that Bartholomew OWEN held considerable wealth in land and commodities and was called upon to serve the community in positions of trust and responsibility. Bartholomew may have been married first on May 9, 1641 in England to Ann CHARLES, by whom he had no known children. Bartholomew's wife is named as Joanna in a conveyance dated Jan. 3, 1670, and in the Sep. 9, 1674 sale of 150 acres in Surry Co., VA to William FOREMAN. A 648 acre land patent by Bartholomew on May 14, 1673, and a 1689 patent by Edmund JENNINGS including headrights for Robert OWEN, Jone OWEN and William OWEN, together the the absence of Bartholomew from Court records from early 1670 to mid 1673, suggests that the family may have made a trip to England during this time. Bartholomew granted a power of attorney to Nicholas Meriweather on Oct. 8, 1677, and on Jan. 31, 1677/8, Jone OWEN was granted administration of the estate of Bartholomew OWEN, deceased. The estate was inventoried and appraised at 30 pounds by Will FOREMAN and John MORING on Feb. 14, 1677 in Surrey Co., VA. Married Joanna about 1666. Joanna - b. about 1652; d. after 1704, New Kent Co., VA. It has been suggested that she was the daughter of either Edmond JENNINGS or Christopher LEWIS. On Apr. 17, 1693, Joanna deposed that she was "about 40 years." She had four minor children when she was name administrator of her husband's estate. Married second in James City to Thomas BROOKES (d. 1695, Henrico Co., VA; will dated Feb. 23, 1694/5 and proved Oct. 1695).

Children of Bartholomew and Joanna Owen:

Robert - b. about 1667, Surry Co., VA. Married first Catherine (d. Sep. 20, 1697, VA), and second about 1699 Hannah, widow of Bartholomew FIGURES. Lived in Surry Co., VA. Reported children of Robert and Catherine OWEN: Robert married Jane COLLIER; William married Hannah GRIZZARD; Elizabeth; Catherine; Bartholomew; and John married Sarah SOWERBY.

Katherine - Named in the will of her God-father Christopher LEWIS in 1674. On Aug. 10 1676, the title to two cows with calves was recorded in her name at the request of her father. Married by Jan. 3, 1681/2, Surry Co., VA to Joshua PROCTOR (b. about 1669, Surry Co., VA; d. 1741, Henrico Co., VA), and apparently they continued to live in Surry Co., VA for some time. Children of Katherine and Joshua PROCTOR: Robert; Richard; Nicholas; Elizabeth reportedly married William ROWLAND; Rowland; Sarah; Katherine; Mary; and Hannah.
