LOWRY or LOWERY


Looking for LOWRY and LOWERY family members who were in
Williamson County, Gallatin County, Union County, Jackson
County and Pulaski County, IL. Would love to hear from any
family members! Here's a timeline for our Lowery/Lowry
bunch:

1833
Our great-great grandfather John Lowery married Rachel
Carpenter, Feb. 14, 1833, Maury County, TN (there is no
proof yet these are ours but they are the only couple I've
found so far in Middle TN marriage records that fit the
bill. They would have both been about 16 years old at the
time of their marriage, as both John and Rachel were born
about 1817: she in TN, he in N.C. Their kids were born in
TN from 1836-1840 and from 1842-1847 in IL so they probably
married in TN. See what I believe to be this same couple
after they move to IL below.)

1850

1850 Gallatin County, IL Census:

Lowery, John, 33, male, laborer, born N.C. about 1817 (our
great-great grandfather)
Rachael, 33, wife, born TN about 1817, can't read
or write
Sarah, daughter, age 14, born TN about 1836
Jesse T., son, age 12, born TN, 1838 (our great-
grandfather)
Rachael L., daughter, age 10, born TN, about 1840
Mary C., daughter, age 7, born IL, about 1843
Margaret, daughter, age 6, born IL, about 1844
Rebecca Ann, daughter, age 3, born IL about 1847

1860

1860 Gallatin County, IL Census:

McGehee, George, age 26, born IL
(Rachael) Levina, wife, age 19, born TN
Harriet E. age, 2 months, IL
Lowery, Thomas, age 22, TN, farm
hand (our great-grandfather)


Our Thomas Jesse Lowery, age 22, born in TN, is living with
his married sister in Gallatin County, IL, in 1860. He has
switched his first and middle name from Jesse T. in the
1850 census to Thomas Lowery in 1860 census (this is what
made him so hard to find but I go by my middle name and
sometimes sign my name Shannon M. Lowry instead of Margaret
Shannon sooooo....) His sister, Rachael Levina Lowery
married George McGehee in Gallatin County, IL in 1859.

There are other Lowerys living around John and Rachael
Lowery in Gallatin County in 1860 who did come to IL
through Sumner County, TN. Some of these people are
probably our John Lowery's aunts and uncles but none seem
to be his father and mother.

John Lowery most likely died between 1850 and 1855 in
Gallatin County, IL, or less likely, he may have divorced
Rachael and moved elsewhere. Anyway, John Lowery disappears
from the 1860 Gallatin County census.

John Lowery's wife or likely his widow, Rachael Lowery,
remarried William M. Hensly July 29, 1855 in Gallatin
County, IL.

Here are other Gallatin County, IL marriages that pertain
to our family:

Eliza Lowry married Andrew McGehee, Oct. 23, 1849 (daughter
of John and Rachael Lowery)
Mrs. Rebecca Lowry married Robert Farrall, Feb. 18, 1851
(not sure who this is)
Sarah Lowry married John Morgan, April 29, 1855, daughter
of John and Rachael Lowery
Rachael Lowry married William M. Hensly, July 29, 1855,
this is the widow of John Lowery. Wm. Hensly is her second
husband.
Margaret R. Lowry married William P. Davis, March 11, 1857,
daughter of John and Rachael Lowry
(Rachael) Levina Lowry married George McGehee, Aug. 18,
1859, daughter of John and Rachael Lowery
Rebecca Lowry married Newton Womack, 1867, daughter of John
and Rachael Lowery
William Lowrey married Malley Kelly, 1867-1882 (not sure
who this is)


1870

Rachael Lowery Hensly, (the widow? of John Lowery, married
2nd to William Hensly or Hensley) ---she is seen below on
the 1870 Gallatin County, IL census:

206/202 Hensley, Rachael, age 53, born in TN
Wamack, Rebecca, age 21, IL
Emma, age 6, born IL
Joseph, 11 months, IL
Hensley, Julia, age 15, IL
Maria, age 12, IL
Olive, age 7, IL

Since Rebecca Lowry married Newton Womack in Gallatin
County, IL, we know that the Rebecca Wamack, shown above,
age 21, is the Rebecca Lowery, age 3, shown on the 1850
Gallatin census: she was Thomas J. Lowry's little sister.
The two children, Emma and Joseph, are likely Rebecca's
children: either her husband has left her, is away from
home or dead. Julia Hensley, Maria and Olive Hensley are
likely Rachael Lowery's children by her second marriage to
William M. Hensly or Hensley, who must have died before
1870.


1861:
Our Thomas Jesse Lowry (as a kid, Jesse Thomas Lowery, on
his marriage certificate, it is Thomas Jesse Lowry, a very
possible 1916 death certificate in Pulaski County, IL lists
him as Thomas Jefferson Lowery) married Mary Ann Colp in
Franklin County, IL, in 1861. (this is where her family
lived) She was the daughter of Milton Stewart Colp (who was
killed by the KKK in 1874) and Eliza or Louisa Dillard.
(Colp can be found under all kinds of mangled spellings:
Coulp, Culp, Culps, Colb, etc. in the censuses and marriage
records—some changed the spelling to Culp after Milton’s
murder—earlier spelling was Colp.)

1864:
Our Thomas Jesse Lowry, now serving in the IL Union Army
during the Civil War, states his birthplace on his military
records as 1838, Sumner County, TN. (This is the only place
I’ve ever seen our great-grandfather’s birthplace listed.)

1870:
Thomas J. and Mary Ann Colp Lowry are found farming with
kids on the 1870 Williamson County, IL census.

1880:
Thomas and Mary Ann Colp Lowry are found with many children
on Williamson County, IL census. Thomas Jesse and Mary Ann
Colp Lowry’s children were:
1) John H. Lowry, born 1862, died young, (named after TJ’s
father)
2) Thomas Jesse Lowry Jr., born 1864, died at age 21, bured
Limestone Cemetery, Union County, IL
3) Sedessia Arnetta Lowry, born 1868, married A.H. Joram in
1890s in Jackson County, IL: the couple are seen on the
1900 Jackson County, IL census.
4) Joseph Alvin Ceamore (may have been called AC), born
1869, married Ella Vancil on Nov. 25, 1894, Union County, IL
5) Larie A., born 1869 (twin to AC?) died young
6) Willis Milo Lowry (our grandfather), a twin, born 1873,
East Cape Girardeau, Alexander County, IL, married Laura
Belle Chism on July 30, 1896, in Union County, IL. She was
the daughter of Edmon “Edward’ Chism and Margaret Jane
Koonce (also seen as Koontz).
7) William J., twin, born 1873, East Cape Girardeau,
Alexander County, IL,
8) Miles Andrew Lowry, born April 19, 1877, Carterville,
Williamson County, IL, died Nov. 14, 1940, married Sept.
10, 1896, Malinda (Linda) Harrell, in Union County, IL. She
was daughter of George and Sarah Webb Harrell. Miles was
buried in Cobden Cemetary, Union County, IL.
9) Noah A. Lowry, born July 16, 1879, Williamson County,
IL, married Sept. 10, 1899 to Cora Jackson, Union County,
IL. Noah died June 25, 1923, buried Big Creek Cemetary,
Union County, IL.

1896:
Willis Milo Lowry and Laura Belle Chism Lowry marry in
Union County, IL, where they had the following children:
1) Elizabeth (Lizzie) Marie, born about 1897, married Van
Miller, one son Paul, who was killed in a bar fight. She is
buried in Cobden Cemetary.
2) Howard (died young), born about 1898
3) Mabel, born 1900, married 1) Ben Ross, then…2) Nethers.
4) Ethel Mae, born July 28, 1902, married Brownee?, 2)
Leslie Schmidt (Schmitty). (She left home at age 15 and
joined the Karl Shelton Gang) Ethel died April 18, 1962,
buried Cobden Cemetary
5) Albert Ceamore, called Ab, born about 1906, married
Alice Williams
6) Margaret, married John McNeal, 2) Ed Thompson,
7) Willard, born 1915, Villa Ridge, Pulaski County, IL,
married Sue Degler
8) Ray Edward Lowry, born March 17, 1916, Villa Ridge,
Pulaski County, IL, married Lola Virginia Mathews. Ray
Lowry died Oct. 5, 1981, Nashville, TN, buried St.
Louisville Cemetary, Ohio.

1889:
Mary Ann Colp Lowry dies in 1889 in Williamson County, IL
and after this date, we officially lose track of Thomas J.
Lowry. Mary Ann Colp Lowry is buried in Limestone Cemetary,
Union County, IL. Thomas J. Lowry’s gravestone is also at
Limestone Cemetary, but no death date is recorded. However,
Thomas J. was alive in 1899 to sign the marriage
certificate of one of his children. And I believe he may
have died in Pulaski County, IL in 1916.

1890:
Fire destroyed the 1890 census. Bummer.

1900:
Next generation of Lowrys/Lowerys settle in Union County,
IL: Willis M. (our grandfather), his brothers Noah, Miles
A., William J. (all in Union Cty 1900 census.)

1900:
Sedessia Lowry Joram, one of grandpa Willis Lowry's older
sisters, is married to A.H. Joram and shows up on the 1900
Jackson County, IL census.

Childers


Is anyone doing research on the Childers family who came
from TN to Williamson County, IL. My great grandmother was
Nancy Childers who was born in TN in 1828 and married John
Bradley in Sumner County, TN in 1848. They were then found
in Weakley County, TN in 1850 and 1860. A T.D.Childers
lived next door to them (possibly father or uncle) and a
William Childers lived near them(possibly brother. John
Bradley died in the 1880's and Nancy married a man named
Rowlands. I would like to know where she was buried and
who her parents were.

Bertha May Woods Turner Cox


I am looking for any info on Bertha May Woods Turner Cox.
She was born in Nebraska about 1882 and settled in
Williamson County later in life. Three of her children are
known to have settled in Marion near her: Alice Turner
Davis Absher, son Francis Turner, and Carolyn Turner Biyeuw
Cox. I would think she would have died in Marion in the
late fifties or in the sixties. I have detailed information
on all three children, but I can't seem to get a death date
or burial site for Bertha. Perhaps she married yet again.
Any help would be appreciated.

Bowen Family -- Herrin, IL


I would like to get information about my great-grandmother's
family. Her name was Alice Carolyn Bowen, and she was born
in 1882 in Herrin, Illinois. I believe her parents were Ja-
mie Bowen and May Anderson. The family was from Wales ori-
ginally, and lived in Ohio before moving to Herrin. I think
family members were coal miners. Alice eventually married
Walter C. Harrison, and moved with him to Alabama where he
was a miner. Any help would be appreciated.

Obituary


I am looking for an obituary on a cousin of my late
grandfather. I would appreciate it if some kind soul could
see if there is an obituary for Rose Rancilio. Rose was a
life long resident of Herrin Illinois. She was born in
October 1906 and passed away June 15, 2000. For the last
several years she was in a nursing home that may have been
in Franklin Illinois. However, she does have family
(cousins) living in Herrin. She was the last remaining
member of her immediate family. Any help would be greatly
appreciate. Thank you in advance.
