The past few days I began to compile some names that are in my family tree. The ones I will list here are quite distant to say the least. Those that are represented are found via my late Grandmother Flossie's mother's side of the family that came from Powys, Wales. They sailed aboard the ship called the Vine that left Liverpool, England and arrived, more than likely, in Chester, Pennsylvania on 17 Dec 1684. This would be the family of my 9th great-grandparents, Robert Owen (1628-1686) & Jane née Vaughan (1626-1686). It is through the Vaughan family that I am connected to the nobility of Europe. In the following list one will find actors, painters, authors and leaders of nations.
