Owen Thomas was born in 1846 in Ospringe, England, to Thomas Court and Amelia Owen Court. He met Louisa Sarah Swinyeard, born 1851 in Milton, England, and married her in 1868.
The family was converted to Mormonism and migrated to Utah on October 5 1869. Accompanying the young couple were:their baby son George, Owen's parents Thomas and Amelia, and Louisa's parents Samual and Maria. Upon arriving in the new land, they became involved in farming and construciton work.
Owen and Louisa became the parents of two more children. Thomas and Florence Jane. The Morman Church then called Owen to serve a two year mission in England from 1898 - 1900. Upon his return, the family migrated to Canada with their daughter-in-law, Margaret Cook, and her children. They settled in Raymond where Owen worked as a bricklayer and carpenter and built his home (which still stands at 167 S-200E).
Following the death of Owen in 1916, Louisa Sarah married George Washington Clark and they had 15 years together. Louisa (swinyeard Court) Clark passed away in 1936 and George Washington Clark passed away on 4 December 1938.
