Janis: Roanoke, Mo. is in the northwestern part of Howard, County and is located between Fayette, Mo. and U.S. Highway 24 at the junction of State Highway 3 and County Road H and 129. There very definitely is a Cemetery located there. As far as I know Roanoke is unincorporated. Lou Myers

Hi List: Where is Roanoke Cemetery? My father-in-law insists that many of his relatives are buried there. I have found James I. Dawson and his wife Laura C. Dawson in Larry Sumpter's listings. The other members of his family aren't listed. Are all the Dawson's from Roanoke Cemetery listed here? Thanks for your help.

Hi Billy, I know John Wayland (John Waylandhttp://homepages.rootsweb.com/~wayland/)has more info on this family than I do, but I show a Thomas Gorham LOWRY married to Louisa Catherine FORT. Thomas b 1821/22 in Franklin, Howard Co., MO. and was son of Dr. John Jefferson LOWRY and Nancy Malinda GORHAM. I also show Thomas's death as 21 Jun 1870, Randolph Co., MO. The following are the notes on Thomas: Capt. Thomas Gorham Lowry, b. 31 Jan 1821/1822 Franklin, Howard Co., MO, d. 21 Jun 1870 Thomas Hill, Randolph Co., MO, m. 28 Jun 1843 Randolph Co. Louisa Catherine Fort, b. 10 Jul 1826, d. 17 Aug 1885. This Thomas was the son of Dr. John Jefferson Lowry (born PA) and Nancy Malinda Gorham. He served in Confed. forces from beginning to the end. I don't have any of the names you have mentioned in my files. Linda In a message dated 8/10/00 6:32:03 AM, bbwj45@havilandtelco.com writes: << am searching for children & grandchildren of Tom G.

I am researching Fullingons, who came from TN to MO to AR in the 1800s. My line comes from Fred Fullington who was born about 1881 and was in AR working on railroads in 1907. Anyone there who has any leads? FF Hetler

I am posting this message to the following groups: Lowry, Randolph County (Missouri) and Westmoreland County (PA). I am searching for my GG-Granduncle, who was born approximately 1854 as Valentine Giese Lowry in Westmoreland County. His parents were Henry and Catherine Lowry of Ligonier, in Westmoreland County, PA. He is identified in the 1860 and 1870 censuses of Ligonier. 1870 is the last time I see him. Henry and Catherine moved to Oxford, Sumner County, Kansas in 1874 and several of their children moved to Missouri and Kansas at about the same time. One daughter, Emma Hays, remained in Pennsylvania living in Westmoreland County and later in Indiana County (PA). Henry died in 1881 and Catherine died in 1886. Henry's estate papers, and Catherine's newspaper obituary, specify that 7 of their children have survived them. Henry's probate record names them: Sons: Benjamin, Daniel, and Valentine; Daughters: Emma Hays (Westmoreland County 1870, Indiana County 1880); Margaret Durkee (Randolph County, Missouri 1880); Alice Rice (Randolph County, Missouri 1880), and Minnie Lowry (still at home when her father passed, later married to James Shafer, resided in Wichita, Kansas 1883-1886). Our family's traditional listing of the children of Henry and Catherine insists that they had another son, Tom G. Lowry, who married a woman named Elizabeth. They lived in Randolph County, Missouri. This tradition is several decades old, possibly 75-85 years or longer. Tom G. Lowry, wife Elizabeth, their son Harry, and a woman I presume to be either a daughter, or a daughter-in-law, Beulah Ione, are buried in the Oakland Cemetery in Randolph County. Tom was born, according to his stone, 1856. I am wondering whether it is possible that Valentine and "Tom" are the same individual. I have thoroughly searched the 1880, 1900, and 1910 census for Westmoreland and Fayette Counties, and am now searching the records for Indiana County. I have already searched Randolph County for 1880, 1900, and 1910. No one named Valentine Giese Lowry. Even with the date on the tombstone not matching with what I know about Valentine's birth, it seems possible to me that Tom "could" be my Valentine. Am I a complete idiot to consider this? How could I pursue it? Billy Walker GGG-Grandson of Henry and Catherine Lowry Milton, KS

I lost my email address to the Moberly library. Someone there was kind enough to lookup an obituary for me once. Can someone help me? Thanks, Gene
