Parents: Bartholomew and Joanna Owen
Married: 1st, Miss Brookes, her given name is unknown, she was the sister of Elizabeth Brookes, the wife of William's brother, Thomas Owen.
2nd, Lydia Lunsford, Lydia was the mother of all William's children.
His will (dated 23 Oct 1752) was proved in court 18 Sep 1753.
Earlier documents spell his surname without an 's' but his will uses the Owens spelling throughout.
The will mentions a son, whose name was omitted from the court copy. This son was, obviously, John Owens because John filed a caveat to his father's will. Two other sons, William and Lansford, were mentioned.
His will also mentions daughters Mary Genens (Jennings), An (Ann) Medlin, Joaner Kearby (Joanna Kerby), Lyda (Lydia) Adkins, and another daughter, whose name is torn and missing.
We can assume William's wife, Lydia, preceded him in death because she is not mentioned in his will.
