He married Elizabeth Lee in England in June of 1787 and returned to PEI in 1788. Upon his return, he worked as a Master Builder and agent for Hill Thomas and Company in the Alberton area. Sometime after 1795, Owen settled in Princetown/Richmond Bay area and opened his own shipyard. In 1805, he was appointed Surveyor of Shipping for the General Registrar and Record Office, a position he held until his death in 1833. He and Elizabeth had eight children.
