David Owens from Wales to Illinois

I am trying to track down information about David Owens. I know there are many David Owens in Wales. My David came here from Wales around 1881/2. We are not real sure of the exact date. I know that he came to Illinois at some point and settled in Grape Creek where he was a miner. He died in Grape Creek.

David and his wife Mary had numerous children. Some of them died in Wales, and three came to America with his wife around 1884/5. I know my grandmother was 4 years old when they came here.

Mary's maiden name was Prothero... this information is well documented and our family has been found there.

I would love to talk to any one who thinks they may have information on David. You can contact me at genealogist53@gmail.com
