== Note==Thomas Owen's father came to America from Wales prior to 1700. He was one of three brothers---John, William and Thomas. He settled twenty miles from Richmond, Virginia, in Henrico County and there raised his family and died. Thomas Owen, age 23, came on the ship The Globe which departed London Aug 7, 1635 for Virginia.
'''The above note is pure myth'''. Over 100 years ago, almost every family in America had a "three brothers" story. Most genealogists will tell you that 99.9% of the three brothers stories are fictitious. For instance, Richard W. Eastman wrote “I have yet to see one instance in which it (the three-brothers myth) is accurate. Google it yourself to see what others think of the myth. The version above was first published in 1911 and was based upon hearsay family lore that had been exaggerated, and distorted beyond recognition as the result telling and retelling through many generations for almost 300 years.
