Hi Everyone,
May I please have a look-up: Early (1810, 1820 or 1830)Lapeer Co., MI census records, for a Charles C. Owen, b. 1807, in N.Y. and his family? There may be unknown siblings.
While researching my OWEN lineage, I've found a disconnect on (?) Owen, b. ABT 1780s (?), who was living in New York when Charles C, Owen, was born, ABT 1807. The (Essex Co.) New York census has a Charles Frederick Owen in 1800 and 1810, but I am unsure if this is the father of my Charles C. Owen.
I do not know when (?) Owen himself was born, or where, but I have Charles C. Owen living in Lapeer Co., MI in 1850, with 9 or 10 children. His wife was Elizabeth Clark.
I am searching for the parents (names unknown) of Charles C. Owen, b.1807 in New York, d. UKN, in Lapeer Co., MI. I estimate that Charles’ father (the focus of our search) was living in (Orange or Essex Co?) New York, between 1800 and at least 1807. I do not know if he also relocated to Michigan with his son, Charles.
Charles C. Owen was my g-g-g-grandfather, and married Elizabeth Clark, m. UKN. They had several children, and I believe they were all born in Michigan. According to the 1850 and 1860 U.S. Federal Census records in Lapeer County, there were 9 or 10 children, including Julia, b.1841, Clark, b.1842, and Henry, b. ABT 1844, among others; possibly an older girl, Mary, and several younger children.
Henry Owen was my g-g grandfather, and the father of Carroll Clark Owen, b.1885, in MI, d. UKN. Carroll was my g-grandfather, and married Lela G. Davis, m. UKN. Carroll had a brother named Fred, and other siblings.
Carroll Owen was the father of Marion Clark Owen, b.1909, Lapeer Co., MI, d.1984, Lapeer Co., MI. Marion was my grandfather. I am aware of other siblings, but I don’t have all their names. I believe he had a brother named Max.
Marion Owen married Malinda E. Ryan, b.1911, Lapeer Co., MI, d.1 Feb 2001, Lapeer Co., MI. Malinda Ryan-Owen was the daughter of John H. Ryan, b.ABT 1867, and Carrie Moore, b.ABT 1871. Carrie's parents were Oscar Moore and Malinda (Melinda?) Shurter. Oscar's father was SIlas Moore, b.UKN.
John H. Ryan was a son of an Irish Immigrant, Thomas Ryan, b. ABT 1835, and Ellen Halpin, a daughter of Mark Halpin, b. ABT 1808, IRE (?). Mark also had a son named John Halpin, b.(?) West Point, Orange Co., N.Y.
Thomas Ryan had brothers named Patrick and Andrew, all born in IRE. Their father was Thomas Ryan, b. ABT 1808 in IRE. I do not know when the 3 brothers arrived in the U.S., who their mother was, or if their parents also left Ireland.
The above referenced families lived in Lapeer Co., Michigan, and the Owen and the Ryan families were land-owners in Lapeer County during the 1800s-1900s.
If anyone has any information on these families, particularly on the parents of Charles C. Owen, b. 1807, N.Y., d. (?), Lapeer Co., MI, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you!!
