I cite Baird but for primary documentation note a letter of General George Rogers Clark that notes that George Owens was burnt at the Wea (or Oui) towns in 1789. I mentioned that David had at least two sons and perhaps others, but did not know who they were. I appreciate your information here.<br /><br />David Owens, brother of John the Indian trader, lived among the Indians and had a Shawnee wife. He also was supposed to have married a brother of the Rev. David Jones, whom he guided down the Ohio River. Jones's diary is one of the major sources of period Indian lore. David Owens was also the guide and interpreter for George Rogers Clark in 1781. See Draper Mss. 60J78.<br /><br />Richard L.

Owens who would have been grandson to David Owens. jloppgeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267899821541280762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430400293832121538.post-80453594795466647982013-12-26T05:57:15.452-08:002013-12-26T05:57:15.452-08:00Confirmation!

The John Owens of Clark County discussed in Baird's History of Clark County Indiana is the son of Indian Intepreter/Guide David Owens and thereby grandson of Trader John Owens. The article in Baird's is written by John A. H. Owens, a son of John Owens of Clark County. I have a copy of a newspaper article in the Hoosier Record, 24 Sep 1909 which states "In response to an inquiry John A. H. Owens, of this place, has been notified by the librarian of the State of Pennsylvania that David Owens his great grandfather, served as a private in the 6th Pennsylvania Regiment of the line under Col. Josiah Harmar during the Revolution. The Owens family has had a notable military record, but until he received the letter from the Pennsylvania librarian Sunday, Mr. Owens did not positive-know that he could trace his descent to a soldier of the Revolution. Capt. Geo. Owens, a great-great uncle of John Owens was in command of Ft. Jefferson Ky., on the Mississippi river just below Cairo late in the 18th century. He had beaten off several Indian attaçks and was greatly feared by the red men. About 1790 he came up the Ohio river by boat to Clarksville and proceeded on foot to Vincennes. He was captured in the Clark county knobs and taken by the Indians to the great powwow ground at Ouiatenon near the present site of Lafayette and there burned at the stake. Many of his descendants still live in Scott county. " I haven't checked to see if the David Owens cited as serving under Josiah Harmer is the right one however John A. H. Owens appears to confirm that he is the great-grandson of Captain David Owens, half brother of Captain George Owens. <br />jloppgeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267899821541280762noreply@blogger.com
