MY LOWRY ANCESTRY AND INFORMATION


During my research for ancestors, I've come across an amazing amount of Lowry/Lowery names and places where they were buried, married and born. I have been researching my Great, Great Grandfather Robert James Lowry, Sr.. He was born in South Carolina and married an Penelope (last name unknown). They had several children and this is the only information I have on him. If you are researching the Lowry name and happen to come across any information about Robert James Lowry, Sr., I would appreciate it if you would contact me at HKees@aol.com.
Please remember to verify any and all facts before accepting them as truth! To the best of my knowledge...all information on this website are correct and true...but please don't take my word for it and double check the information out before using it. Thanks!

Dearfield Carrole Parish
April 5th 1858

Dear Son,
I have been down four or five weeks and have not received a letter from
none of you. My health has only been tolerable since I arrived here and
I have not met with **** for anything that I have here with the exception
of the Mrs. Rock which I have sold to Lo*fy. *** more for *** then hundred
and twenty dollars but have not received the money yet as I took a draft
on his merchant in New Orleans and have not heard from it. It is impossible
for me to say when I will be at home. John Trissantes got a letter from
John dated the 3rd March in which there was not the first inquiry made of
me. W. J. Maybin got one from Mary dated the 7th in which she stated that
when I got of off the Boat, I was so sick that I could hardly walk. I am
glad to hear that you are all well. I seen Travis S*** three or four times
but he has never mentioned money the first time and I don't think it will
be right for me to say anything to him about it. John Kinard was murdered
some night days ago by Mr. Hollys Negrai** and burned the thing *** and
gave to three of three Hundred **** after ***** the Mississippi River
above Lake Providence has broken in two places.  **** there is no doubt
but that there will be an over flow.  Bo** Macon is my full. I cannot say
when I will be in Arkansas. Robert my troubles are quite I do not get two
hours sleep during the night, *** from you all I with say more. Tell your
mother and the children Howdy and may god bless you.

So Fairwell my son,
Your father J. S. M. Lowry



Bossier Parish History
From the Bossier Parish History:
Bossier Parish was created on Feb. 24, 1843, through Act 33 of the
Louisiana legislature, signed into law by Gov. Alexandre Mouton. The
parish was presumably named for the Louisiana Creole militia general
Pierre Evariste Jean Baptiste Bossier. He was born at Natchitoches
(pronounced NAK-oh-tush) on March 22, 1797 and died under mysterious
circumstances on April 24, 1844. 

The parish was formed from Claiborne Parish. Until 1871, it included what
are now Webster and Red River parishes. Its boundaries were originally
Loggy Bayou to Lake Bistineau to Bayou Dorcheat to the
Arkansas-Louisiana state line to the Red River back to the mouth of Loggy
Bayou. 

The first parish officials, all appointed by Governor Mouton, were William
K. Beck, Parish Judge; Robert B. Lowrey, Sheriff; R.H. Hodges, Surveyor;
H.M. McFarland, Coroner; and John M. Lawdridge, C. Wallace, William
Crowley and J.S.M. Lowery, Justices of the Peace. They were appointed
March 9, 1843. The first parish courthouse was at Bellevue and was built
by A. Kendall. The first parish Police Jury meeting (akin to a board of
county commissioners) was held on June 19, 1843. The first police jurors
were William Crowley, President; J.A.W. Lowery, Clerk; James C. Scott,
Clerk (through Sept. 4); G.J. Williams; Joseph Graham; William M. Burns;
and Isaac Lay. Their first meeting was held at the home of Ezekial Calhoun
Long, believed to be near the site of the 1920s-vintage Durden log home
on the Bodcau preserve. 

The earliest towns and settlements in Bossier Parish were Fillmore,
Collinsburg (also called Plainville), Bellevue, Rocky Mount and Red Land.
Rocky Mount is site of the earliest church, the Salem Baptist Church. Red
Land received the first official post office, however, on Oct. 20, 1846, with
Jerome B. Mading as postmaster. The last traces of the village burned on
Sept. 18, 1890.

Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas
F. A. Battey & Co. 1889
page 536
Robert James Lowry, General merchant of Fate, Rockwall county, Texas,
and also a prosperous farmer, was born in Mississippi, February 26, 1836.
His father, Joseph Sidney Monroe Lowry, was born in Mississippi in 1813,
was a farmer, and moved to Louisiana in 1837, where he served both as
justice of the peace and probate judge for several terms, and died in
Arkansas in 1858. Robert J.’s paternal grandfather was of Irish extraction
and a soldier in the Revolution. Mrs. Mary Jane (Furniss) Lowry was born
in Mississippi in 1817; and by her marriage with J. S. Monroe Lowry,
became the mother of Robert J., John F., Samuel M. , Charles Thaddeus, M.
Matilda, Mary A. and William C., and died in Texas in 1877. Robert J.
Lowry was you might say, reared in Louisiana, receiving his education
in said State. He taught school when a young man. He married in his twenty
first year, in 1856, a young lady of fifteen years by the name of Olivia
Elizabeth Jeffries, who was born August 1, 1842, and was the daughter of
Charles A. and Matilda (Travis) Jeffries, of Carroll parish, Louisiana.
He then settled down to teaching and farming for a living, and was so
engaged when the Civil War came on. He enlisted  in the Confederate Army
in 1862, Company G., Third Arkansas regiment, Hood’s Brigade, composed of
the First, Fourth and Fifth Texas regiments and said Third Arkansas
regiment, and served with the Army of Northern Virginia, and was in the
battles of Seven Pines, Chancellorvilles, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg,
Chickamauga, seige of Knoxville, the Wilderness and several engagements
around Richmond. He was never captured, never sick or wounded, and never
missed a fight, and was surrendered at Appomattox Court House in Virginia,
and there received his parole to go to his home in Louisiana, in 1865,
and moved to Nacogdoches county, Texas, in 1869, and in 1874 moved to
Dallas county, and in 1876 to Blackland, in Rockwall county. He lost his
wife July 19, 1885, and married again the next year, his second choice
being Mary, daughter of Arthur and Eliz Smith, of Clairborne parish,
Louisiana. She was born September 15, 1846. Mr. Lowry had born to him
seven children by his first wife--Robert M., Eugene A., U.Travis,
Charles T., Olivia M., C. Waine and one that died in infancy. To the
second wife no children have been born.
Squire Lowry has served as postmaster of Blackland eight years, as justice
of the peace and county commissioner of Rockwall county four years, and
has exhibited a general interest in most matters of public concern. He
owns a fine farm of 504 1/2 acres of black, waxey land, worth $35 per
acre, three and one-half miles south of Fate, which point he moved to in
the fall of 1886 from Blackland, and has been engaged in a general
mercantile business in Blackland and Fate for nine years. He is a deacon
in the Missionary Baptist Church of which he had been a member for the
past 30 years and he has also been a member of the Knights of Honor for
the past 9 years.

Bert Mitchell's letter he recieved about his wife:
Dear Mr. Mitchell:

I have just recently learned through Dr. Dierolf of the
passing of your wife.  I extend my deepest sympathy to 
you and to the rest of your family.

I have received just partial information about the
postmortem examination.  This information confirms our
diagnosis of your wife's difficulty.  It was also 
evident from this examination that the destruction of 
her lungs, particularly, and of other organs, had been
so extensive that nothing more could have been done.

Since it became apparent that nothing could be done to
restore her to normal health, I am glad that the final
sickness was not prolonged.

However, this is a great loss to you and your family and
we are deeply sorry.

Sincerely yours,
Signed William M. Ashe, M.D.
