Adams, who died in 1915? George Adams was born in 1849 in Gwinnett County, Gan and lived at the time of his death in Suomi, Ga. in Southern Dodge County. He was married to Catherine Blakey Adams, and is buried in the Chauncey Methodist Church Cemetery. None of the books listing burials for the Chauncey Cemetery have the information I am seeking, and I am hoping that if his obituary can be located it will list his parents. I was told that quite often people who lived in this area of Dodge County would have had their funeral information printed in the Telfair newspapers. Any information would be deeply appreciated.

Been wondering where he fits into the tree. 1910 Telfair Census has this family listed as: LOWERY, Lawrence - age 28 (b. abt 1882 GA) Eliza - wife age 24 (b. abt 1886 GA) Elma - dau, age 9 GA Beulah - dau, age 5 GA Ruby - dau age 2 GA Also have a LAWRENCE LOWERY m. MINIE E. HENDERSON in Telfair County, GA on 13 Aug 1899 . (You have 1889, but if the census age is close to correct, the 1899 date would probably be correct). If you want to look over the Lowery families of the area, I'll be happy to email them to you, and maybe we can figure out where Lawrence fits in.

Andrew LOWERY m. Ida Frances Flanders 15 Aug 1886 in Laurens County, GA (Book J p 391). He was b. 11 Jul 1861 in Dublin, Laurens Co, GA d. 15 Aug 1932 Asteria, Clatsop Co, OR. This line is confusing for there were several by the name of Andrew. Also many people confuse the line of William Elcainer "Caner" Lowery (Dodge County) with the line of Andrew Lowery and Angelany Loftin (Jefferson > Laurens > Telfair) for many of their offspring had the exact same names with only a possible middle initial to distinguish them. We have not been able to determine exactly how Caner Lowery and the elder Andrew Lowery are related, but Caner was born in GA according to Census records, and not NC, although his wife Nancy Maloy was born in NC. A book compiled by Edsel Joiner suggested Caner may be a brother to Andrew, but I'm thinking Caner may be a nephew since most of Andrew's other siblings were being married by the time Caner was born in 1815. Andrew Lowery b. abt 1785 d. 07 Sep 1870 Laurens Co, GA is the son of William Lowery and Rhoda Pearis Neely (McNeely).

Andrew is the son of JEREMIAH M. LOWERY and MARY AMERI VAUGHN of Laurens County, GA. This is the line that migrated from Jefferson County, GA via Andrew Lowery and Angelany Loftin.
