Answers to Correspondents

TO one. Of the. Owens who asks for the records of tho Pennsylvania Owens family and the family coat of arms:
 A very interesting branch of the Owen tribe settled in Pennsylvania in the eight eenth century. They trace their descent from Trahairn Goch ap Madoc of Llyn in Caernavonshire who was descended from the princes of South Wales, and who died before 1925. He married Gweneroyl, da ughter of Madog ap Meurig ap Madog app Poreth ap Cyndal ap Elysan Glidry- del and as each of these aps repre- sents a. generation it will be seen that Gweneroyl had long enealogy of her own. From these two ancestors the pedi- gree of the Pennsylvania Owens is to be traced in unbroken succession: but for obvious reasons It will be omitted.
 The Owen of this branch who came to America was named Robert. He was born in 1857, and died in Merton township, Pa. His brother-in-law said of him: He was one that feared the Lord from his youth, being. convinced of the truth when about IT years of age, travelling several times through his native country, where Ee lived about seven years. visiting this and adjacent provinces, and was also very useful in the meeting where he resided. A man of peace, hating all appearance of contention, endued unto the least ap- rearance Of good in such as he had to do withal'
 The arms of the Owen family are de- scribed: Azure chevron between three dolphin in hcraldry signifies affection or charity and 1t is said that this fish is fond of music. The dolphin was the crest of the dauphin or crown prince of France.
 To T., C. O N. who asks for descrip- ton of the O'Neilr coat-of-arms.
 The arms of the O'Neills are blazoned; Per feese, wavy, the chief argent, the base representing the waves of the sea- in chief dexter hand, couped at the wrist gules. In. base salmon niant prop CT. The crest is arm in armor em- bowed, the hand grasping a sword, all proper. The, motto is Lamb Dearg Eiren.''
