Biography

Jacob Owens is listed as the father of William Owens in the latter's marriage and death registrations^[1][2].

William Owens' mother is recorded as Agnes Kennedy Richmond.

In William's marriage to Barbara Richmond in 1860, Jacob is recorded as a soldier^[1]. On his death registration, Jacob was a Journeyman Blacksmith^[2].

Despite all of the records listing Jacob as William's father, there are no baptism records for William with a father of Jacob, and no marriage records for Jacob Owens and Agnes Richmond in Scotland. He is not recorded in the 1841 census.

Agnes Richmond would later marry in 1850 and again 1860; she was recorded as a widow in the 1860 registration.
