General Notes: Husband - Lazarus Lowrey


His father placed him on a farm of twelve hundred acres at Frankstown, on the Juniata, Blair County, Pennsylvania.
He had four sons and seven daughters.

He was a grandson of Lazarus Lowrey, the Indian trader, of Donegal, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and a son of either James or Joseph Lowrey, who settled on the Juniata in 1759. He went to the Holliday settlement, which later became Hollidaysburg, before the Revolution, where he bought a part of the Adam Holliday tract. He was engaged in mercantile business in Frankstown in 1790; and in 1800 he owned a grist mill and saw mill. He filled all the offices of Frankstown township, being constable in 1790, overseer of the poor in 1791, and supervisor in 1795. [BC, 283]
