I'm a Lowery researcher but my line Giles Lowry comes from
SC into Georgia, Alabama,Louisiana and Arkansas.
Alone the way the name was changed to Lowery.

I know a lot of Lowery's were in Hamilton Co, IL but I'm not aware of any connection to my line.

I am of the John Lowery and Elizabeth Reese bunch.

The passing of Misty Flannigan was too bad for this line.

She researched this family tree.

you must be descended from the Giles Lowry that served in the Revolutionary War? I am not descended from that line of Lowry's but I saw the name Giles Lowry in "Alphabetical Register of Virginians in the Revolution" (listed on ancestry.com). Although, you had mentioned that Giles Lowry was from South Carolina? -COLLEEN Lowry

I am from the same Lowery family and have information to share; also am always looking to add to the family. My line comes in at YOUNG S. LOWERY, son of JOHN Lowery and ELIZABETH REESE. I need to update my tree on Ancestry to show this.

Elaine:

I just recently got on Ancestry.com, and found your query.
Even though it is almost 2 yrs. old, thought I would answer it anyway.
I am descended from Francis Marion Lowry who was my great-grandfather, one of the triplet brothers of Light W. and Rachel. My grandfather was Jessie Tilford, one of the twin sons of Francis and Margaret Fannin Lowry.
My grandfather was orphaned by 1880, and I do not know what happened to his twin brother, Wiley.
My grandfather always maintained that his father was a triplet which I was skeptical of until I found them in the 1840 census. The other two triplets were George Washington and Andrew Jackson (obviously a very patriotic family. In that census, they are listed as "all born at once."
This has been my hardest line to trace, and I look forward to corresponding with someone who has more information on this family than I do.
I know that all the triplets were living in 1875 as I have a copy of Light's will in which he names all three of them along with his other children, David, John R., Elender J. Patton, Sarah E. Cates and Lucinda C. Warren.
He directs his brothers, John and Young S. as executors of his estate.
I also know that the triplet brother, George W. died Febuary 23, 1879, as I have a copy of the petition to settle his estate which lists his death date. His widow, Narcis, later married a Thornburg.
Will look forward to corresponding with you.
