Carl, we must be cousins. You certainly have all the info I have on my 3rd-gt-grandparents John Owens and Isabella Brandon, through their daughter Eliza Jane Owens (who m Henry McVety in 1856) and, in fact, you have more info - such as the ship they came on, and the parish where they were baptised. On the other hand, you may not have some of the info I found years ago about John's half-brother Rev. Thomas Owens, who was ordained by John Wesley himself as a Methodist minister and went as a missionary to the Caribbean, serving in Antigua and St. Kitts & Nevis. I'm excited to see from your profile that you're in Yukon (hopefully safe from both the current COVID outbreak and the Yukon R flooding) since I'm in Kingston ON and have family in Whitehorse. If you're willing to correspond outside of rootschat, let me know your email address and I will reply. (I find the captcha process very difficult to decipher.) cutwayn
