Ami, I have one typed page of information on L.D. Mowrey. The page says L.D. Mowery is the son of Moses Mowrey a native of Bradley County, Tenn and Margaret E *(Witt) Mowery his wife. My dad had this typed paper and handed it down to me. I have not connected Moses to my relative Mathias Mowery of the 1850s. (note the difference in the spelling. I was at a Mathias Mowery family reunion recently, Dub (W.O.) Mowery feels Mathias is related to Moses but has not been able to come up with documentation. This paper says L.D. Mowrey was born in Alabama, November 19, 1851 while his parents were on their way to Texas. It says Moses and family arrived in Red River County in 1853 and in 1870 Moses moved to Lamar County. He was a farmer, miller and ginner. Moses and wife had ten children. L.D. stands for Louis Daily Mowrey, he married Jan 20, 1870 to Mary A. Cato of Lamar County, Tx. Paper says L.D Mowrey was reared in Red River and Lamar Counties, Tx. and began the merchantile business in Milton, Tx (Lamar Co) in 1884 and established a Post Office there. This paper appears to be a copy of a statement that was written when L.D. Mowrey was in this latter years. It list L.D.'s children and they spouses. If you need those names, let me know.
