I went back and looked at that message from 2003 and it is not the complete chart. I've split it into two parts to see if it will go through. here are the first 5 generations of the Lowery side. Here you go! I have left the author's information intact in the following abstract. If she left a first name blank, it has been noted as Unknown even if we know the name. I have also left blood degrees intact as they were printed. This research is not mine, merely an abstraction from the book, so I can't verify that it is absolutely accurate. However, one of the authors actually lived many of the events in the book and had access to all of her families' records so this should be a fairly accurate accounting. It is certainly a good springboard for further study. Abstracted from Springplace: Moravian Mission and the Ward Family of the Cherokee Nation. Muriel H. Wright and Clara A.
