He lists the following children in his will sons John and Edward Lowney (though he spells his namen Loney in will- but could not write himself), daughters Ann Read married to Samuel Read, Mary House married to Francis House, Martha House married to David House and Margarett Parry married to Stephen Parry. He also mentions grandson John House son of Mary and Francis House. Will written 13 Oct 1832 on page 555 film 20850 FHL will book of Chester county. Will proven on Oct 28, 1833. He refers to himself as being "far advanced in years". In the past 6 months I have found references to Mary Loney married to Francis House in Chester co PA. Nancy Ann Loney (Ann Read in Will) born in Chester co. and married to Samuel Reed. And Margarett Loney married to Perry in Chester co. on various message boards. I also found out that Mary, Nancy, and John had sons named Richard (first for John, 2nd sons for Nanc! y and Mary as I recall). I am not sure of Edward's kids names. Edward Loney was in the East Nottingham census of 1810 or 1820 with Richard. John had already moved to Ohio- Harrison co by 1810. Edward, John, Mary House and Nancy Reed also all lived in Knox co at one time or another. I also found on the same film the will (pg 398-399, film 20850 FHL, proven Nov 14, 1831) of Elizabeth House mother of sons Francis, Stephen, George, Samuel, John (your ancestor), David, James, Nicholas. Daughters Sarrah, Barbara Blackburn, Mary House Guthrie and grandchildren John Cope, Elizabeth Cope and George Cope. If you are interested in copies of the will let me know. I believe the husbands of Mary and Martha Loney are the brothers Francis and David House. If you want a copy of the will email me at below email. Pat Blanchard rblancha@comcast.net
