"The birthplace of John Owen, the Founder, has not been discovered. According to Windsor tradition he was born in Wales. The year of his birth has not been definitely determined: according to his tombstone he was born in 1622, but according to a deposition he made some years before his death, he was born in 1624.
According to Henmon [Hinman], John Owen is first mentioned in New England in the town records of New Haven in 1642. According to our present knowledge we cannot be sure that the man mentioned in New Haven is identical with our John Owen.
Since the early Windsor records were lost, we cannot be sure just when John Owen settled in Windsor. The first definite fact we have is that on 3 October 1650 he married Rebecca Wade of Hartford nearby. The bride was the daughter of Robert and Jemima Wade. Robert was one of 127 original settlers of Hartford in 1639, and his name is inscribed on the Settlers Monument. …
John Owen died 18 February 1698 (Old Style), and Mrs. Rebecca Wade Owen died 3 December, 1711. They had had a numerous family,—eleven children. It is noteworthy that only eight grew up to raise families of their own.
Before his death John disposed of his lands. In 1695 and 1697 he gave certain parcels of land to his sons Obadiah and Isaac."
