GEORGIA LOWREY FAMILIES

This genealogy site is dedicated to the Lowrey, Lowery and Lowry families that lived in Georgia in the late 1700's and the 1800's. Some of them remained there and some of them moved on to Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas and beyond. Although many of these people were undoubtedly related, it is not clear which ones were and in what way. Records show many instances in which people with the same or similar last name married one another or lived near to one another, in many cases on adjacent property. The spelling of the name can vary from LOWREY to LOWERY to LOWRY depending, apparently, on who was writing the name. When speaking of the three names as one group, I have chosen to use LOWREY, simply because I spell my own last name that way and, for as long as I can remember, I have had to endure having it misspelled. It needs all of the exposure it can get.

The purpose of this site is to provide a meeting place for the descendants of these families and perhaps further our understanding of how our Georgia ancestors fit into the overall picture. The different lines are organized into Family Groups. Each Family Group consists of the oldest proven ancestor and his descendants. The body of work presented here consists of information contributed by people who have worked long and hard to procure documentation for their ancestry. It is my intention to preserve the integrity of the site's contents by presenting the information as it is submitted and only that which is reasonably documented. Much of the information contained in the Family Groups was submitted by fellow researchers and I have included the sources as they cited them. I do not possess the original documents, etc. so I cannot personally guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in the groups. This is a work in progress and, therefore, always "under construction".
