Summary

Marquis Roen is named as the surviving son of Captain John Roen in the December 1970 obituary. This is an episode-qualified person record, not a complete civil biography.

Evidence and limits

The same obituary names a Marquis Roen vessel built in 1920. The article does not say that the vessel was owned by or commanded by this son, so the person and vessel remain separate records connected only by the shared name and the obituary’s family statement.

Open questions

  • What records identify Marquis Roen’s birth, occupation, and later life?
  • Was the son involved in the Roen shipping companies or in the vessel named Marquis Roen?
