HARRY THOMAS OWEN was born in 1630 in Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire, Wales.

Harry was the first Quaker in this family. Like Richard Davies, the famed Welsh preacher of Montgomeryshire, he had been convinced of the truth of the Quaker gospel in the early years, and was a Friend at least as early as the year 1662, when we read in Besse's "Suffering of the Quakers" that William Evans, Richard Pritchard, Lewis Pugh, Richard Owen, Harry Thomas, David Powel, and Evan Harry, were imprisoned at Montgomery, and were very hardly used, lodging on bare boards, and having sometimes their water kept from them. From 1662 to 1681, the name of Harry Thomas Owen frequently occurs in the records of the Quarter Session of Montgomery County as fined for non-attendance at the services of the established Church, and in several items it is expressly stated that he was a Quaker.

Harry died about 1684.
