I believe that John Mason Lowance was a son of
William Lowance and Sarah "Sally" Gabbert.
John was born about 1834. William was born about
1804. He and Sally also had a daughter, Margaret,
who married a Myers fellow.
The 1870 census shows William and Sarah along
with Margaret and her children living in Fort Spring
TWP. John and wife Susan are living in Big Level TWP.
In 1880, John has died and Susan and her children
are living next to William and Sarah and Margaret in
Williamsburg.
Sally Gabbert was born about 1806, a daughter of Jacob
Gabbert Jr. and Elizabeth Handley. She married William
Lowance 31Mar1831.
