Owings and Allied Families, 1685-1985


Book Description

Richard Owings I (d.ca. 1716) was in Anne Arundel County, Maryland by 1684/1685, and later owned land also in Baltimore County, Maryland. He may have been the Richard Owin baptized in 1659, son of Richard Owin and Ann Phillips, London England. Professional researchers indicate the original surname was Owen or Owens; the authors feel the surname has always been Owings, and Owen or Owens were occasional erroneous spellings. Descendants and relatives lived in Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, California and elsewhere.
