Hi.
My name is Frans Nieuwenhuis from the Netherlands, married to Beth from the USA (PA).
Living currently in the Netherlands.
One of her direct ancestors is Pieter Loper, father of Michael Lowber (baptized in NY 1677, on the same day as Pieter and Geertruij Nieulant/Newland/Nieuwlandt).

This seems to be a re-baptism.
In the amsterdam archive in the netherlands we found the following.

-------
kind Michel (kind = child)
vader Pieter Lober (vader= father)
moeder Geertruij Neviant (moeder = mother)
doop 30 oktober 1674 (doop = baptism)
religie Hervormd, Nieuwe kerk, Amsterdam
bron 44 p.416
This info is from the Stadsarchief (City Archive) Amsterdam

Another document with the birth of a daughter Magriet (Margaret?) shows father as Pieter Loober, mother Geertruijt Nieu****dt -remark i have the original scan of the baptism book and Geertruij's name is very difficult to read.
--------
Since we have here to much coincidences, considering the names and so, this could be the document about the birth/baptism of Michael Lowber (most times dated in 1677)
About the surname see just some info found on the web:

Mr. John Curtis & Mr. John Betts Justices of the Peace for ye same, did on
ye seaventeenth and Eighteenth day of August 1693 meet at the house of Mr.
John Curtis and then and there publickly asses & rate the several persons

I too am a descendant of Susannah Lowber and Benjamin Furbee. I would be very interested in seeing the bios you mentioned on Peter and Michael Lowber. Is there a place/source/book where I can locate them? Thank you!

Are your LOWBERS connected to Kent County, DE?

I have a Miriam Lowber (born after 1754) as a child of my ancestor - MATTHEW LOWBER. I don't know much more than that about Miriam, but have alot on her father and his ancestors (back to 1650)
Please post if your are interested in this information.

Lorraine - I don't this this is the same Miriam.
The one I have was born in the 1750's. She was the daughter of Matthew Lowber (1710-1772) and his second wife Hannah Manlove Robinson. They were in Kent County, DE

Could be related to your Miriam some how!
