An ancestor of mine born in Bala, Wales, Owen Owens 1746-1861, became an ordained Baptist minister in Washington County, Kentucky, but he & his wife left the church due to their refusal to participate in slavery. (Refusal of their church to not participate in slavery “after much discussion”)
His traits mentioned were being of good morals, an “uncommonly small man” with a noble soul. He is my 5th great-grandfather, ancestor to Cora Belle Owens, my great-grandmother who married Alexander Reid in southern Indiana.
