Una Bowman sent me a photocopy of this, which I think she got from the DAR files in Washington, DC.
From Una: "Unfortunately. at the time material was presented to establish the DAR line to Jonathan Owen (wife Eleanor) the date was only verified and no picture of the actual pages [was included]." If the statement "Nathaniel Owen, born about 1700, father of Jonathan Owen 1st . . . " was written by Jonathan b 1783, then it is very likely true - surely he would know his own grandfather's name.
This is the only documentary source Una has been able to find making Nathaniel the father of Jonathan. I think it compares favorably with Hook's unsourced "family tradition" claiming Ebenezer as his father.
Please note - typos are possible, whether made by me or by Mrs. Charles Thompson.
