I was born February 7th, 1840, in Van Buren county,Missouri, being the second daughter of Thomas and SarahDamron Owens. My father and mother crossed the plains with the firstemigrant wagons of 1843, and settled on Clatsop plains,Clatsop county, Oregon, at the mouth of the Columbia, thewonderful River of the West, in sound of the ceaselessroar of that mightiest of oceans, the grand old Pacific.Though then very small and delicate in stature, and of ahighly nervous and sensitive nature, I possessed a strongand vigorous constitution, and a most wonderful enduranceand recuperative power. These qualities were inherited,not only from my parents, but from my grandparents, aswell. My grandfather Owens was a man of exceptionalfinancial ability. He had a large plantation in Kentucky,and owned many slaves, and many stores throughout thestate. He was a grandson of Sir Thomas Owens, of Wales,of histdrowensadairso00owen
