Ow10 Richard Owings


JOHN OWENS was born in London England.
Ow11-2 JOHN OWENS, b. Abt. 1650, London

Ow11 RICHARD OWENS b in London, England, and died Bef. 1684 in MD. He married ANN
Ow10-2 JOSEPH OWENS, b. London, London, England; m. SUSANNA, 1690.
Ow10-3 ROBERT OWENS, d. Abt. 1678.
Ow10-4 WILLIAM OWENS, d. Abt. 1690, Somerset Co.

Earliest male ancestor of this line is claimed to have been the son of Owen HUMPHREY (Ow11)
m Margaret VAUGHAN (Va11) If Richard Owing's father was long considered to have been Owen Humphrey, the patronymic "ap Owen" or Owens = Owings would be a normal Anglification of the name when a Welchman moves to an area of administrated by Anglo-Saxons: all records needed a family name while the Welshman had only his patronymic = ap plus the genitive of his father's first name and a woman had verch plus the genitive of her father's first name.
Hence Richard's grandfather must have been Humphrey ab y. Resolution of the earlier ancestry will depend largely on attaining Y DNA for at least two direct male line descendants of Richard and finding matches that lead to a Humphrey or Richard with a father Humphrey in one of the Welsh families in the above pedigree list.
An interesting coincidence is also the appearance of the name "Humphreys" among the Brown ancestors. The temporal and geographical proximity gives rise to the notion that there are relatives of Richard involved.

This page tells the story of three generations of Maryland Owings: Richard, his son Samuel, Samuel's daughter Hannah, and their immediate families. I am hopeful that readers may be able to provide more information about them, or correct any mistakes I may have made. If you have documentation, I would be very grateful if you would e mail me at kwg at po.cwru.edu, substituting the familiar @ for "at". Richard Owings and Rachel Beale may have had all the following children( I would appreciate hearing from readers with documentation that could prove whether or not any or all of these children belong to Richard and Rachel):

m. 1774 Ruth Howard WARFIELD (18 June 1756-25 May 1830), daughter of Dr. Joshua Warfield (d. 1769) a "practioner of physic" and mill owner and his wife Rachel (HOWARD) (1732-1792), sister of Ephraim Howard, apparently no relation to our Howards, but children of Henry Howard (1707-1773) and his wife Sarah DORSEY (daughter of John Dorsey who d. 1761). Richard inherited from his father 207 ac. of "Rich Meadow", "Robert's Chance", part of "Baker's Discovery" in Balt. Co., and 162 ac. "Mount Pleasant" and 33 ac. of "Strawberry Patch" in Frederick Co.[33] Richard was a farmer, miller, and merchant who took over the Warfield mill after Joshua's death. Holland says he bought his father-in-law's mill at Simpsonville in 1795 and changed its name to Owings Mill on the Middle Patuxent River. The village became known as Owingsville. His house, built in 1776, still stands. Richard signed the oath of fidelity 6 June 1776 and was appointed Capt. of Soldiers' Delight Battalion of the Baltimore Co. Militia, fought in the Revolution, and resigned 1779. Richard served in the Lower House in 1789 and 1790. His estate was valued at $69,139.08 and included 25 slaves, $52 worth of silver, over $1000 worth of flour at the mills. The estate was not settled until 1842, with a final balance of $10,468.33, not including his wife's estate and various bequests that were paid out. Children: Beal, Mary "Polly", Samuel, James (b. 1780; d. 1 May 1859), Richard, Thomas, Joshua Warfield, Ann, Basil, and (Maj.) Henry Howard.

There were four or five men by the name of Richard Owens in colonial Maryland. Untangling and separating them is made more complicated by the habit of many genealogists to conflate several families. The search is not aided by the typically casual seventeenth-century spelling that interchanged Owen, Owens, Ewen, Ewens, Owing, and Owings. Here are the facts as I have tried to verify them about our particular line.

First Known Generation
Our Richard Owen1 identified himself as a carpenter, first of Anne Arundel County, then of Baltimore County. One source says he was born in Virginia and died before 11 February 1726/7. He was married to Rachel Beale by 1701/2.[1]
 

As with most of our colonial Maryland ancestors, we find traces of them in legal records of various kinds. For example, Richard had borrowed considerable money from Christopher RANDALL, that was listed in the latter's estate inventory 20 Mar. 1684/5. I don't know if the loans were in order to purchase real estate, or for some other reason. Richard made several real estate transactions. On 12 September 1685 he bought the tract "Range" from Thomas LIGHTFOOT and his wife Rebecca. It was in Anne Arundel County about a mile from the head of the Anne Arundel River, by the line of Richard WARFIELD's land, by a tract called the "Marsh". The next fall Richard sold 384 acres to Jabez PIERPONT, a planter of Baltimore County, for 4,500 pounds of tobacco. Richard's wife released her dower right in it. On 10 October 1694 Richard had surveyed for him 450 acres on the west side of the Patapasco, north side of Col. TAYLOR's land. On 13 March (or August) 1704 Richard conveyed 225 acres out of the total 450 acre "Owen's Adventure" to Col. Edward DORSEY for £40. The tract had originally been patented 10 November 1695. On 1 June 1708 Richard sold another 100 acres from "Owings Adventure" [notice the spelling variations as officially recorded] to Richard ACTON, planter. This tract had been granted to Richard by Lord Baltimore 3 April 1700. Richard's wife, Rachel, gave her consent. On 1 June 1708 Richard owens of Baltimore County, carpenter, conveyed 100 acres, which was part of a larger tract, with Rachel's consent, to Richard ACTON, planter. Another land grant was made to Capt. Richard Owings on 10 September 1725 consisting of 480 acres in Baltimore County named "Owens Outland Plains".[2]

On 16 October 1697 the Assembly passed an "Act appointing Rangers for the defence of this Province". It decreed that fifteen men be raised "to strengthen the Garrison and ffrontiers at Potomak". They were to be raised proportionately from Anne Arundel, Calvert, St. Mary's, and Charles Counties. The colonels were to "impress them, but if Volunteers can be afterwards procured" the draftees could be released. Richard Owen of Anne Arundel County was made Captain over the new recruits, with Giles HILL of St. Mary's County, the Lieutenant. Two weeks later Richard signed a receipt for arms and equipment received from the Governor: 1 brass "lanthorne", 2 carbines and belts, 2 bayonettes and belts, 2 pair of pistols, 1 brass compass, 1 "prospective" glass, 30 flints, 2 Bibles, 1 Whole Duty of Man, 5 "Catuch boxes" and belts, and $1.00.[3]

That was not the extent of Richard's military career. He also appeared on a list of soldiers under the command of Col. Ninian BEALE from 6 February 1699 to 6 May 1700. For this he was paid at 3/4d per day, for a total of £15.03.04.[4]

As an interesting glimpse into those times and their mores, a suit was brought against a Richard Owens by Joseph WICKES, commissioner of Kent County. Wickes claimed that Owens delivered a maidservant who was not "sound and in perfect health". He claimed that Anne GOULD had syphilis. Witnesses reported that Anne was very sick, with sores all over her body and exuding a bad odor. A chirurgeon who examined her said she just had the pox. Anne herself accused Owens saying he had "undone her ... and given that disease unto her ... and that Owens did make use of her body, after a very inhumane manner, and kept her down upon her face, that she could no ways help herself." He apparently also beat and abused her because she had "a peremptory tongue." Anne finally died. Owens was ordered to deliver another woman servant.[5] However, I have not found proof that the Richard Owens of this case is our Richard OWINGS, as there were four or five men of the same name in Maryland. Our Richard was not living in Kent County, which ought to clear him.

The only other fact about Richard of which we can be sure, is that he and Rachel were the parents of Samuel, because Samuel had this information entered in the St. Thomas parish register, Garrison Forest, Baltimore County. St. Paul's was the first parish in Baltimore County, and there are four Owings marriages in the St. Paul's Parish register, that let us infer they are all siblings: Robert, Samuel, Joshua, and Ruth. Later, St. Thomas was set off from St. Paul. The web site of "First Families of Anne Arundel County" lists additional children. Some may be conflated from other families.
