Hi Cliff ~ What a story--and you're a great writer, as well !! Glad you were able to glean some information from Canada. Some of our OWEN ancestors were found to have migrated to Canada, from PA and NY, but later relocated to Michigan...I can see why.

I thought to include this link on the Graves DNA study, the family has quite a history and may (or may not) be useful to you:

Hope you're having a good weekend--Take Care ~ Cynthia
