Looking for info on the following:
Thomas
LOWERY was born in 1737 in
Tyron, Co., Ireland. He emigrated in 1747 from
Washington Co., Pennsylvania. Came to USA at age of ten from
Tyron Co., Ireland with his mother and uncle named "
Patterson". His uncle became 3rd
Governor of PA and very well to do in
Patterson, NJ. Thomas became a
Colonel in George Washington's army. His mothers maiden name was
Patterson.
He was married to Esther
FLEMING. Thomas
LOWERY and Esther
FLEMING had the following children:
2 i. James LOWARY.
(the above is only a family story passed down to David
LOWERY by his granddad. No other verification, as dates of emigrating and James birth place don't match up so this is suspect!!)
SECOND GENERATION
2. James LOWARY was born in 1765 in Ireland. (Tyrone or
Cork) Floyd has a couple of different dates 1765 and 1754. He died in 1849 in
Coshocton Co., Ohio. He was buried in
Coshocton Co., Ohio; Foster-McCullaugh-Lowary Cemetary. He was a
Trader with indians. In 1790 James was in
Lancaster PA. Strasburg twp. Married and 1 boy and 1 girl under 16. Before that is listed in the PA Archives as a trader with the indians. (Need to verify if Jame is indeed a son of Thomas/Esther
LOWERY. At this point it is only verbal story from David
LOWERY passed on from his grandfather).
James LOWARY and Mary *UNKNOWN had the following children:
3 i. Thomas S. LOWARY.
Any and all help would be appreciated, and I'm willing to share what info I have. Thanks -- Jim Lowary
