My most wanted ancestors are Michael Lower and his sons, Peter, Jacob and John. Michael bought land in Clermont County in 1806 and then later sold it in 1809. I do not know where they came from prior to migrating to Clermont or where they went to after leaving Clermont. One of Peter's sons, John J Lower is my gg grandfather and he married Elizabeth Beckelhymer, daughter of Joseph Beckelhymer and Christina Lazena in 1824 in Clermont. John J was born in VA per the census records, but I have no idea in which county his parents lived, or for how long they were there. There is a short mention of Michael Lower and his sons in the Everts history of Clermont County, according to which, Peter Lower killed himself in a fit of insanity in the Ohio River. There is also a land transaction in Clermont for a Sarah Lower in 1826. Sarah is a probable sister to my gg grandfather, John J, and I would like to know more about her. The only data I have, other than the land transaction, is that she is a niece of Jonathan Beckelhymer who became a Mormon and left Clermont for Nauvoo, IL. Jonathan was there during the time that Joseph Smith was killed. John Charles Tippet JohnDoeTippet@csi.com
