- William_Owen_(Royal_Navy_officer) abstract "William Owen (1737–1778), born in Wales, of a family of Welsh gentry, was a member of the Royal Navy and lost an arm from a wound suffered during the Seven Years' War. Not content with the half pension he was receiving, he served as an impress officer. After the war, Owen contacted a former fellow officer, Lord William Campbell, who had recently been appointed governor of Nova Scotia. Late in 1766, Owen travelled with Campbell to Halifax. The following year, as payment for his work in aide of Campbell, he was awarded a large parcel of land. The grant, which included three of his nephews as grantees, was Passamaquoddy Outer Island in Passamaquoddy Bay. In 1770, Owen renamed the island Campobello Island after Lord Campbell; he also took into account the Italian meaning, "fair field", of the new name. Owen was killed in Madras, India while carrying dispatches from India to England.In the 1770s, Owen wrote two volumes of his 'Narratives', the first of which covered the period from his joining the Royal Navy in May 1751 to his return to England in July 1761 after service in the East Indies for much of the Seven Years' War. This Narrative is due to be published (editor Andrew Constantine) for the first time in 2011. The second volume of the Narrative is a lesser work, and was published in 1942 and covers the creation of Campobello. Owen left on his death two surviving natural sons via Sarah Haslam (latter named Sarah Bagshaw). His eldest son was Edward William Campbell Rich Owen and his younger son was William Fitzwilliam Owen. The latter became sole owner of Campobello Island in 1835 and settled there.".
