This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Lowry, Hart, Moore, Barnhill Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BMB.2ACE/10.1.1.1 Message Board Post: This could be of interest to you because these Lowry's came from the Washington D.C., Maryland area and could be a parent of your Susannah Lowry b. 1791. I received a message from Lowry Z. Day and later receive this message from Nellie. Yours in kindred spirit, Olan L. Smith “Hi Olan, I know that we have not chatted in some time. Hope that all is well with you and your family. I received a message this week that made me think of you and your family. This may be a stretch but I wanted to share it with you and see what your thoughts might be. Lowry Z. Day contacted me with this information, by the way she is female and the name Lowry has been used by the female side for many generations. Her heritage is only recorded on a sampler completed ca 1815 by Mary Matilda Hart for Margaret Lowry Moore and is still in the family. That is their only documentation. The family line is: Her fourth great-grandfather John Lowry, married Elizabeth (unknown). There children were: Thomas born 7 Jan 1768 William born 16 Aug 1769 David born 1 Sep 1771, died 28 Feb 1812 Jane born 27 Sep 1773 Elizabeth born 1 Jan 1776 Margaret born 23 Oct 1779 died 27 Oct 1829 John J b 31 Dec 1780 Abigail born 8 Apr 1783 Elizabeth Lowry married Mr Hart, daughter Mary Matilda Hart b 12 May 1805 Margaret Lowry married James Moore in Washington DC July 1780 Abigail Lowry married Mr Barnhill. What a great family with birthdates and so early. The only name of the above that came anywhere close to a match in my files is John J b 1780 and so is your Dr. John Jefferson Lowry of MO, born in West Philadelphia, PA 1780. Lowry Day did not know the location of this family but assumes that it was in the Washington DC/Philadelphia/VA area. I just took a long look at Col. Alexander Lowry of Lancaster Co PA files. He had a brother John who married an Elizabeth, this John was supposedly killed by the Indians about 1750. Do you have any ideas? If this works out, it would add 2 or 3 generations to your charts and you have family stories that you are descended from Col. Alexander Lowry. Hoping to hear from you.
