272. James , Sr Lowery
(1) was born about 1733. The name Lowery is spelled in a variety
of ways, I have tried to simplify this by using the Lowery spelling for the most
part. In my research I have found Lowery, Lowrey and Lowry to be the most common
spellings in our family.
Information on James Lowery descendents from David Lowery, Larry Lowery, Jim
Lowery , Geary Lowery, Barbara Van Narsdall, Joyce Bowley, Ray and Kathy Cobb,
Bob Lowery and many others.
