I am looking for information on the Morgan, Owens, and Kee families. They are originally from North Carolina, later to come to Russell County, Va. My husband’s family is from Elkhorn City, Ky and they are the Owens that originated from William S. Owens and Tabitha Potter. Ellis Owens was Abner Owens son, who was son of William. Beyond this, the trail is a little cold. However, Tabitha Kee married a John Farmer in Grayson Co., Va in 1821 and I have been trying to connect these dots for sometime. Some of the names in your pieced tell me that since they are Owens and some of the first names are suspiciously similar , perhaps this family is someway no matter how remote, related.
