Doctor Grandma

And if, rather than following the Reid paternal line, you follow Alexander Reid’s mother’s line, you end up in WALES. The mother of Alexander Reid was Sarah Sallie Owen. Her father was John Leatherwood Owen, son of Barnett Owen, who was the son of Walter Owen, then EVAN OWEN who was born in Wales. Evan Owen’s father was HARRY THOMAS OWEN, who immigrated in 1683 to some Welsh land tracts given by William Penn, evidently to the Welsh. Harry Thomas was born in Llanfyllin Hundred, Montgomery (County?), WALES. It looks like a fascinating little town of just over 1100 people today, half of whom speak Welsh, SW of Liverpool in the mountains of Wales. There is a will left by Barnett Owens who ended up in Kentucky. To his son John Leatherwood & a few other children, he left $20 bucks each. 🙂   To other children, he left the rest of his estate in Kentucky. I think this was the beginning of my disinheritance from wealth.
