SAMUEL BACHMAN AND HIS WIFE RACHEL OWEN By Cornelia Ellen Bachman Phlegar -1970 Page 9 & 10

"...The Owen family were of Welsh origin. They were among the first immigrants to the state and some of them became prominent in Colonial days.
Griffith was a member of the Colonial Council from 1685 to 1707. John was Sheriff of Chester County in 1730. Owen was Sheriff of Philadelphia
County in 1728 and Coroner in 1730. After this he went to Saucon. His wife was Margaret. They had at least three childen: Thomas, David and
Margaret. David, with his wife, Sarah, had eleven children, among them Rachel, the wife of Samuel Bachman.

David Owen operated a sawmill and hat factory on the site of the Mast's Mill at Standard about the middle of the eighteenth century. In 1748,
he applied for and was granted a license to open a tavern. He opened this tavern in 1748 on the farm later owned by Frank B. Heller. On
February 10, 1749, warrants were issued to David Owen, in pursuance of which there was patented to him on December 13, 1769, one tract (No. 5)
of 64 1/2 acres designated as "Perplexity" and another (No. 19) of 49 acres.

David Owen served as a private of the 5th class in the 5th Company, 1st Battalion, Northampton County Militia in June 1777. A question has been
raised as to whether Samuel Bachman of Saucon was the Samuel Bachman who married Rachel Owen, also of Saucon, and settled in Philadelphia or
whether one Christopher Samuel Bachman who arrived at Philadelphia in 1750 aboard the ship Edinburgh from Rotterdam might not be this man. ...
It is my opinion, based on the records, that the Samuel Bachman of Saucon courted and won his neighbor, Rachel Owen, and travelled to
Philadelphia where they were married and lived until they made their trip to the southern territory and that Christopher Samuel Bachmann
is in no way connected with this couple.

Page 22 The following record was taken from photostatic copy of a page from an old family Bible, said copy having been loaned to Nell
Phlegar by Miss Reveley Owen, of Bristol, Virginia, she being a direct descendant of David Owen.

"David Owen was born in the year of our Lord 1713, the 13 Day of March -- And dyed the 15 Day of June in the year of Our Lord 1790
being about Seventy Seven years of age -- Sarah Owen his wife was born in the year of Our Lord 1724 and Died the 13 Day of Aprill 1792
being about 68 years of Age -- They were blessed with eleven children six sons and five daughters the names as follows:
Thomas Jessee David Jonathan Nathan Joseph Rachel Mary Sarah Abigail Lydia --"
