Hello Owen, Clark, Davis & Ryan Families,

I am still searching for the father of my g-g-g-grandfather, Charles C. Owen, b. 1807 in New York, relocated to Lapeer Co., Michigan about 1830, and married Elizabeth Clark.

The census records I have for my Owen family are below. Maybe there are some Owen names that match your family records...I certainly hope to find the father of Charles C. Owen, at least!!!!

Charles C. Owen is my dad's g-g-grandfather, and his son, Henry Owen, is my dad's g-grandfather:

1860 United States Federal Census Household of Charles C Owen:

In the following records, Carroll C. Owen is my dad's grandfather (who married Lela Davis, d. of George and Elizabeth Davis), and Marion C. Owen (who married Ellen Malinda Ryan) is my dad's father:

Lela Owen age 32 Michigan/Michigan/Ohio

These Owen individuals must all be related to my Charles C. Owen in some way:
