Hello Lisa, I have a Mowry in my family tree from Erie County. From a source in Erie County, Lewis Cass Aldrich, History of Erie County OH, (1889), page 882. There is a family history of a John P Mowry who married into my Miller family. From that source here are some details to see if it is also your John Mowry. I believe it is..... John Mowry has a farm in Oxford township. He began life in Oscar Township, Erie County on Feb 17 1870. He is the son of John and Louise Leber Mowry. The former was a naive of Switzerland and the latter of Nassau Germany. John Mowry senior died 9 Nov 1907 in Seneca County OH. ALthough, I do not believe he is buried there.... During the war of the states he enlisted and was in prison for 9 months at Andersonville Georgia. His 6 children are: Charles of Kimball OH John P of Oxford Louise, wife of Henry L Scheid of Oxford Township Carrie, wife of Calude Livengood of Oxford Township Adolph of Conneaut OH and Edward now deseased. His wife came of America when she was 19 and lived in Erie County for the rest of her life. She was still living "in her 70th year" per the source. Hope this helps. There is another list member who is related via Carrie Mowry. I am forwarding to her as well. Regards, Liz Miller - Dayton, OH emiller@erinet.com
