He m2 LUCY PERCY, d/o Henry Percy VIII, Earl of Northumberland, and Catherine Neville. The father of Sir Hugh Owen was called "OWAIN ap HUW ab OWAIN, of Bodowen, Sheriff of Anglesey,Wales, b. 1538. (according to p 209, "Plantagenet Ancestry of the 17th Century Colonists"). He married in 1563 to Isabel "Sibyl" Griffith, d/o Sir Wm. Griffith II of Penrhyn, and Jane Puleston. The mother of "Owain ap Huw" was "Gwenllian" d/o "Morus" Gwyaredd of Meredith.This source then traces many lines going to King Edward III, II, and I. IF YOU CAN CONNECT TO ANY OF THE SONS OF RICHARD OWEN: LAZARUS, EVAN, AND GEORGE then you can go much farther into Welsh and English history. BUT, you must make the positive connections, and be able to document it with sources for it to be valid and correct.

Richard was born about 1611. He passed away about 1689. ^[1]
