Surnames: LOWERY families of South Central Georgia Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ad.2ADI/1332 Message Board Post: I have a lot of updated information on these Lowery families since the publication of the Smallwood book. I'll be happy to send this to you. There is much confusion about the relationship of William Elcaner "Caner" (aka Wm E. and Wm C) Lowery of Dodge County, and the descendants of William Lowery from Jefferson County, GA. Both lines had offspring with identical names. I have not found any proof that Caner Lowery came from Robeson, NC, although his wife, Nancy Maloy was apparently born there. Dodge County Census indicates Caner (William E.) was born in GA. I think we have pretty much sorted them out, however. Email me, and I'll send it to you. Just for starts... I have ANDREW LOWERY b. 11 Jul 1861 Dublin, Laurens Co, GA d. 15 Aug 1932 Asteria, Clatsop Co, OR; married 15 Aug 1886 Laurens Co, GA (Book J p 391) to IDA FRANCIS FLANDERS. 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. This is not the line of CANER LOWERY of Dodge County. Hope this helps
