FACTS:
There are no known documents that connect this Edward Gowen b. abt 1680 to any family members. Other Gowen’s in Gloucester County, Virginia are:
1) Christopher Gowen is married to Anne about 1678 in Gloucester Co, Va. Christopher would likely be at least 20 years old, or close to it, and possibly older if this was a later marriage or 2nd marriage. So his birth year range would be about 1643-1658.
2) Michael Gowen born January 1679 – son of Christopher Gowen and Anne in Gloucester Co.
3) Daniel Gowen receives a patent for land about 1679 and another in 1698 in Gloucester Co. Daniel would likely be at least 25 years of age when receiving the first patent, possibly older. Date of birth range would be 1639-1654 for Daniel.
4) Edward Gowen is listed on Quit Rents of Virginia in 1704 in Gloucester Co. He likely would be at least 25 years old if he owned land, and possibly older. An estimate of his birth year range is likely 1664-1679.
Its possible that Daniel and Christopher are brothers – they are close to the same age. Edward is likely the son of one of them, and Michael Gowen b. 1679 could be his brother – as he is close to the same age as Edward.
