Jane Owen was the daughter of John and Hannah Maris Owen.

Jane married Joseph West, son of John West on March 6, 1740 in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Many of Jane's letters to family are printed in "Joseph West and Jane Owen" by Celeste Terrell Barnhill. Most of the letters contain requests for money so it appears that times were hard. From the Will of Jane's father, John Owen: "paying Yearly and Every year into my said Executors the Sum of six pounds lawful Money of Pennsylvania During the Natural life of my daughter Jane West to be by my said Exectors paid to and for the Seperate and peculiar Use and Benefit and Maintenance of my Daughter Jane West (West being crossed) aforesaid During her natural Life and not subject to her husbands Debts Nor to his Miscontract."

Joseph and Jane had 10 children.

Isaac (1741-1821) married Roxanna Lewis
Tacy (1743-?) married Jacob Nichols
Sarah (1745-?) married Jessy Patey
Owen (1749-1828) married Elizabeth Martin
Hannah (1751-?)
John (1753-?) married Mary King
George (1755-?) married Betty Templeton
Joseph (1757-1845) married Judith Ballinger
