Rowland Owen from Machynlleth, Wales

One of my family lines goes back from my Dad’s mom, Grm. Mary Reid Agnew, to her great-grandmother, Sarah Sallie Owens. Then the Owen line goes WAAAY back to Rowland Owen b. in the 1500s in WALES. So that line is originally from Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire, Wales.
When they immigrated to the colonies very early in the 1600s, they went to PA, where Harry Thomas Owen became a Quaker. & then to North Carolina. Wilkes County NC, up near Virginia. Various Owen(s) people linked to our line gradually move to Kentucky & then southern INDIANA.
