I spoke with my Uncle Justin last night and he remembered his grandpa George talking about the Owens family. He said that the baseball player Jim Owens is a distant cousin and descendant of Nancy Owens. I looked up Jim Owens and sure enough he was born and raised in McKean County where several of Nancy's children settled. Jim is a great grandson of Nancy. He would be a 3rd cousin to us.
I am going to call up William Owens tonight and hopefully have some luck. The fact that he still lives on his own at age 87 is a little promising...i am keeping my fingers crossed. Justin has volunteered to meet William if William is interested. Justin lives 1 mile from Vine St in Coudersport.
**********************I think that Rossman may be living at the Vine Address as well. Hopefully, we will make a connection with the Owens. I think they will definitely have some info - it's just making that initial connection.
