'''Parents''' [[Owen-1906|William Owens]] and [[Lansford-40|Lydia Lunsford]]

'''Born'''
1724 (Unproven) in
Henrico County, Virginia, British America.



''No original 18th-century source records can be found to corroborate her birth year. All of the above cited sources are derived from family group sheets and family trees that are totally lacking in authentic sources. She was most likely born in Henrico County because there is good evidence that her parents lived there all of their child-bearing years. Her parents never lived in Prince George County as shown in many bogus family trees.''
