NOTE: For more OWSLEY FAMILY HISTORY and PHOTOGRAPHS, click on each generation.
(1) Ann Hudson b. ABT 1715 Virginia, died AFT 24-Jul-1756 Probably Loudoun County, Virginia
and Unknown
(NOTE: It is believed Ann Hudson was married first to a man (name unknown) and they had a son who later became known as John Owsley. She was then married second to Thomas Owsley II and they had eight more children together. DNA testing has revealed John Owsley was not a biological son of Thomas Owsley II. DNA testing has also revealed John's ancestor was most likely of Irish origin.)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Special thanks to Ronny O. Bodine.
A lot of the information on this website, concerning the early generations of my Owsley family, was obtained as a result of the genealogical research Ronny has shared and made available through his many publications and Owsley Family Historical Society (OFHS) Newsletter articles.
Over the years, Ronny has completed a huge amount of research on the Owsley (Ousley, Housley) family and other related families, especially the early generations of the Owsley family from John Owsley (1757-1845) going back several more generations. His genealogical findings, including his Owsley family database, continue to be invaluable to all members of the Owsley family searching for their ancestry.
