Gilbert Wakefield speaks of Owen as ' a man of most elegant learning, unimpeachable veracity and peculiar benevolence of heart.' But Thomas Seddons lampooned him in Characteristic Strictures, 1779. His portrait is preserved in Warrington Museum. He died 5 April 1807.
OWEN, GORONWY (1723 - 1769), cleric and poet university on the same day.

OWEN, Sir JOHN (1600 - 1666), royalist commander proved too late for that.

OWEN, JOHN (1698 - 1755), chancellor of Bangor , Meth. Trefaldwyn Uchaf, 41-2 and 64-5. Not unnaturally, Robert Jones of Rhos-lan, in his Drych yr Amseroedd (61-2, 77-8), while recognizing Owen's ability and his eloquent preaching, has much to say against him - not that we need swallow all the old chronicler's stories of the divine punishments which fell upon the chancellor.
