Hi, Patti, My husband's mother was a Lowery. She was the daughter of John Lowery of Wilkes-Barre. His father was also John Lowery and born in Ireland. Unfortunately, that is all the information I have on him (John the father.) His wife's name was Anna (or Hannah) Murphy and they were married by 1860. Were they married when they immigrated? I have no idea, but by 1880, he was dead as she had remarried to a man named Michael Brooks. I know that none of this is any help to you, but if I find anything in my Lowery search that I think you can use, I will E-mail it to you. Iva Hanlon
