Susan: I just rented a book HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY {Pa}, by Alfred > Creigh, LL.D. printed 1870--& it contains an account of the Indian campaign you mention, plus other Rankin/Crawford references. (Maybe Lowery too, I wasn't looking for that name, so didn't notice.) I no longer have the book, but perhaps you can locate it somewhere. And I believe Washington County is the place you want to be searching. rondie >William LOWREY/LOWRY [born 1760] moved from Chester Co. to Beaver Co. some >time before 1782. He served in Capt. John Ramsey's company in Chester Co. >twice during the American Revolution. > >In 1782, while living in Beaver Co., William LOWREY/LOWRY enlisted in Capt. >Thomas Rankin's company, under Col.
