I found an Anne Devereux (born about 1490) she married twice
and her second husband is David Owen, died 1542, natural son of Owen Tudor,
widower of Mary Bohun and Anne Blount.

My question is : son of which Owen Tudor? Owen Tudor 1400-1461, who married
Catherine de Valois, or their son Owen Tudor 1433-1501?
Many thanks

Sir David Owen was a son of the elder Owen Tudor, and thus an uncle of the
half blood to Henry VII, by whom he was much favored. He is a "former ancestor"
of mine (i.e. the line was rudely severed) and I'm afraid I haven't time to dig
into those files to find the references right now. The DNB should have an
article on him.
