Alexander LOWREY Col. [Parents] was born in Dec 1725 in , , Ireland. He died on 31 Jan 1805 in , , PA. Alexander married Ann WEST in 1774.

Other marriages:

WATERS, Mary
, Sarah

The below was obtained from: Tom Lincoln in 1/99:

Alexander Lowrey (Dec 1725 in Ireland - 31 Jan 1805) was six feet
in height, raw boned and athletic, possessing great physical prowess (WLK).
He took his apprenticeship in trading with his father and learned to speak several Indian languages fluently, which made him a great favorite of the Indians. He participated in their sports, hunted and trapped with them, and could outrun any man. He became a trader in 1748, ranging as far West as Kaskakaskia and Fort Chartres on the Mississippi and as far north as the
Great Lakes, with posts at Fort Pitt and Carlisle. He frequently went among hostile tribes, but was only once in a tight spot, from which he saved
himself by courage and fleetness of foot. He was in partnership with Joseph Simon, who resided in the town of Lancaster. Their connection continued on
a handshake for forty years, in which there were both large gains and
losses, the latter due to Indian depredations on their trains and trading posts. He was a guide to Colonel Forbes' expedition in 1758 and Colonel Boquet's expedition in 1763, and was at the bloody battle of Bushy Run. In
that year his losses amounted to # 8,000. He moved for a while to the
Juniata, where he bought a farm on 5 Jun 1759, but he later purchased his father's Plantation in Marietta and other land there, his ambition being to reacquire all of the land held by his father and other members of the
family. At the close of the Revolutionary war he was one of the largest landholders in Pennsylvania. The old homestead was less than a mile from Anderson's ferry, so that many distinguished guests, including General
Gates, stopped at his house shortly after his victory at Saratoga.

>From the first disagreement, he was an ardent and outspoke advocate for separation from Great Britain. On 13 Jul 1774 he was placed on the
Committee of Correspondence for Lancaster, and was a member of the
Provincial Conference held in Philadelphia on 15 Jul 1774. In Dec 1774 he
was appointed to a committee to watch suspected parties and prevent them,
if possible, from purchasing tea or giving aid or comfort to the enemy. He
was a party to the Convention that convened in Carpenter's Hall, 18 Jul
1776, that instructed the Members of the Constitutional Congress to vote
for independence, dating from 4 Jul 1776, and was a member of the
Convention of 15 Jul 1777. He was chosen to the Assembly in 1775, 1778,
1779, 1780, 1785, 1786, 1787 and 1788. In May 1777 he was appointed one of
the Commissioners to procure blankets for the army. In 1776 as Colonel he commanded the Third Battalion of the Lancaster County (Militia)
Associators, and was active in the service in the Jerseys in that year. As Senior Colonel he commanded the 7th Battalion of Lancaster County Militia
at the battle of Brandywine, where his command suffered heavy losses. After
the war he retired to his fine farm adjoining Marietta. A slave holder (he
had three negroes on the Donegal Township assessment list of 1782), when
the law authorizing the gradual emancipation of slavery in the State was
under discussion in 1779, he took positive and strong ground against the separation of slave families by sale to different persons. He stood in such high repute that he was frequently called to remote sections to compose business differences and to settle disputes about the titles of lands. In
1784 the government appointed him to go as a messenger to the different
Indian tribes to formulate a treaty at Fort MacIntosh and a second time for
a treaty at Fort Detroit. Each time he returned at the head of sever
hundred Indians -- this at age 61 Under the Consitution of 1789-90 he was appointed Justice of the Peace by Governor Mifflin, an office which he held until his death. In Aug 1791 he was elected to fill a vacancy in the State Senate caused by the death of Sebastian Graff, of Manheim township, where
he served until the following October. He died a wealthy man and is buried
in the Donegal Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Grave 30.

Ann WEST was born in 1733. She died on 21 Nov 1791. Ann married Alexander LOWREY Col. in 1774.

a member of
the Church of England and widow of Hermanus Alricks. Contrary to her
husbands egalitarian sentiments, she had aristocratic aspirations, and had
a Lowry coat of arms mounted on the side of their carriage in his absence. [From Fairbairn's Book of Crests:: Lowry - Ireland, between two branches of laurel, a garland of same. Motto: Virtue semper virides".] On his return,
he chopped it off with an axe and buried it himself.

They had the following children:

Thomas E. BRUMMALL was born on 11 Jan 1834 in , , Kentucky. He died on 29 Aug 1871 and was buried in Salisbury Cem., Chariton Co., Missouri. Thomas married Lavinia C. "Veeny" WAYLAND.

NOTE: B, p.39.

He was identified as a lawyer on the 1870 census. Died age 37. There is a "Judge Brummall" who gave a talk at Eli Wayland's funeral in 1894.

Lavinia C. "Veeny" WAYLAND [Parents] was born on 13 Mar 1847 in , Chariton Co., Missouri. She died on 24 Nov 1928 and was buried in Salisbury, Chariton Co., Missouri. Lavinia married Thomas E. BRUMMALL.

NOTE: B, p.39

She was a widow for 57 years and all that time wore black formal length widow's garb. My father remembers being taken to the county fair as a child in 1915 by his "Aunt Veeny", and her old fashioned appearance in the long black dress almost outdrew the attractions of the fair. She was a cheerful soul, always welcome in the home of my grandfather, Lloyd, where she was a frequent guest. This was an admirable outlook as her only two children died early (as did her spouse).

They had the following children:

		F	i	Armeda BRUMMALL was born in 1870 in , Chariton Co., Missouri. NOTE: B, p.39. Died in childhood. Is found on 1880 census, age 10.
		F	ii	Thella BRUMMALL was born about 1871. She died before 1880. NOTE: B, p.39. Died in childhood, prob. before 1880 as not on census.

S. B. GILLILAND was born about 1847 in , , Iowa. He married Arrena "Rena" WAYLAND.

NOTE: B, p.39. Lloyd spells name as Gilland on back of pic 24.jpg

On the 1880 Chariton Co. MO census, p.44 of the Salisbury township, S.B. is listed as occupation, "manufacture of haystackers". This would indicate that he had a financial interest in the ill-fated business run by his father-in-law, Eli. They are located in the census next to Eli and Rebecca (B100).

I wonder if the Gilliland listed in the last paragraph of the below bio could be his descendant:

J. B. ROBERTSON. Recognizing the fact that on the journalistic field there is plenty of room for men of brains and vim, J. B. ROBERTSON early in life entered upon a career that has brought him to the forefront among newspaper men in Northeastern Missouri, and as editor and proprietor of the Brunswicker, one of the oldest newspapers in the state, he is giving the reading public a clean, newsy, and strictly reliable publication, the
influence of which is felt over a wide territory of country. It is often the case that the men of a family will follow the same vocation or profession, and especially is this so in literary work, and in the career of Mr. ROBERTSON this statement has been so satisfactorily proven, for he is the son of J. K. ROBERTSON, himself a newspaper man of many years standing. J. B. ROBERTSON was born in Salisbury, Chariton county, Missouri, November 6, 1878, and is a son of J. K. and Griselle (DAMERON) ROBERTSON.

J. K. ROBERTSON was born March 26, 1842 near Roanoke, Randolph county, Missouri and is a son of Wiley and Jane Collins ROBERTSON. He lost his father when still a lad, so that little is known of his father's life. From earliest boyhood his life was one of constant industry, and in 1893, with his son, James W., he established the Keytesville Signal, which they conducted until 1905, then disposing of it to Homer P. MITCHELL. who changed it to the Chariton Recorder. Mr. ROBERTSON is now living a retired life at Keytesville, while James W. ROBERTSON has also left the journalistic field and is engaged in agricultural pursuits ten miles north of Keytesville.

J. B. ROBERTSON was given the educational advantages to be obtained in the country schools of Chariton county and North Missouri Academy, at Salisbury, and as a lad entered the office of the Keytesville Signal, where he spent eight years at the case. In 1903 he made removal to Brunswick here purchasing the Brunswicker, in company with D. R. PATTERSON, Jr., whose interests he purchased one year later. Through Mr. ROBERTSON's untiring efforts, the circulation of this paper has been materially increased and is now regarded as an influential molder of public opinion and a periodical that is a credid to its editor and publisher. Himself an active, earnest Democrat, Mr. ROBERTSON has built up his paper on the fundemental principles of that great party and it is recognized as an organ of no mean ability. It was established as early as the year 1847, and is known as one of the leading and oldest newspapers in the state. Mr. ROBERTSON is possessed of literary ability of a high order and is a valued member of the Missouri State Editorial Association.

On October 31, 1908, Mr. ROBERTSON was united in marriage with Miss Fanny GILLILAND, of Brunswick, and to this union there has been born one son, John B. Mr. ROBERSTON has interested himself in fraternal work to some extent, holding the rank of worshipful master in Eureka Lodge, No. 73, A. F. & A. M., and in 1912 represented his lodge as delegate to the grand lodge of the state. During the past fifteen years he has been a member of the Baptist church. Mrs. ROBERTSON is a member of the Christian church and both have
many friends in the congregations at Brunswick and in the social circles of the city.

Arrena "Rena" WAYLAND [Parents] was born in 1849 in , Chariton Co., Missouri. She died after 1903 in Monroe City, , Missouri. Arrena married S. B. GILLILAND.

NOTE: B, p.39

Located in the 1880 Chariton Co. Missouri census, p.44, Salisbury township, next to father, Eli, and also her sister, Rebecca Wayland Terrill. No children were listed, and she was age 31, so may not have had any. She is in household with her husband. Her picture is on 24.jpg and she looks just like her mother.

Anderson Wood TERRILL [scrapbook] was born on 21 Dec 1850 in , Randolph Co., Missouri. He died on 8 May 1889. Anderson married Rebecca WAYLAND.

NOTE: B, p.39,40
His grandfather, Robert Terrill, was great grandfather to Anne Calvin Terrill, wife of Lloyd Wayland, so Terrill married into Waylands more than once. A.W. became president of Hardin College in Mexico, MO. I have a photo of tombstone. It was tragic that all four of their children died young, leaving no heirs.

He is shown in family as age 6/12 on 1850 census, so either his birthdate was in 1849 or the census was taken in 1851. Most likely, the date shown on his tombstone is inaccurate and he was born in 1849. But, tombstone says that he died May 8, 1889, aged 38 years, 4 months & 18 days, which would mean 1850.

I have his photo, and it is onsite here, as is the back of the photo. Old writing there identifies him. I found out from the Mexico Genealogy Society that Hardin College existed from 1873-1932. The national depression must have put it under.

See the Terrill page online here for his line back.

Rebecca WAYLAND [Parents] was born on 30 Aug 1851 in , Chariton Co., Missouri. She died on 1 Jun 1910 and was buried in Salisbury, Chariton Co., Missouri. Rebecca married Anderson Wood TERRILL.

NOTE: B, p.36-40

Was sent to boarding school where 1970 census counts her as age 19, and also counts her again in father's household, by mistake.

James W. WAYLAND [Parents] was born on 18 Jun 1857 in , Chariton Co., Missouri. He died on 4 Mar 1919 in Salisbury, Chariton Co., Missouri and was buried in Salisbury, Chariton Co., Missouri. James married Eva SHANNON.

NOTE: B, p. 36-40

Eva SHANNON was born on 6 Nov 1861. She died on 26 Mar 1909 and was buried in Salisbury Cem., Chariton Co., Missouri. Eva married James W. WAYLAND.

NOTE: B, p.40,90. Also from notes of C.F. Parks of Keytesville, MO.

They had the following children:

		F	i	Mary WAYLAND
		F	ii	Jessie WAYLAND
		F	iii	Dorothy WAYLAND was born about 1884 in Salisbury, Chariton Co., Missouri. Unmarried at time of Uncle Henry's death in 1921.
		F	iv	Shannon WAYLAND was born about 1886 in Salisbury, Chariton Co., Missouri.

Abel R. JACKSON [Parents] was born on 31 May 1821 in , Howard Co., Missouri. He died on 11 Sep 1858 in , Howard Co., Missouri and was buried in Jackson Cem.. Abel married Ann Eliza LOWRY on 5 Aug 1848 in , Howard Co., Missouri.

First name is given as Claiborne elsewhere.

The book, "A Family Called Fort" gives his marriage date as "Jan 2, 1845, the same day her Annie's sister Frances Jane Lowry and Henry Toulman Fort married." That would make her very young, and I am not certain of that accuracy. I have a later marriage date.

Is on the list of persons who fought in the Mexican War from the county:

"16 Oct 1890--THE HOWARD COUNTY SOLDIERS WHO MARCHED WITH DONIPHAN TO THE MEXICAN WAR. From the 'Central Missourian'. The march of Doniphan's regiment from Leavenworth across the great American Desert, through the enemies' country, into the very heart of Mexico, was one on the most
remarkable military feats on record, and has been often spoken of as
equalling, if not surpassing, the similar feat performed by Xenophen, on the greatest of the Grecian generals."

It later lists the soldiers and he is on it.

Another resource has date of marriage as 3 Aug 1848. The obit below gives his cause of death:

Sept 11, 1858-15 Oct 1858 3/3 "Died at his residence near Fayette, MO, of consumption on Saturday, the 11th of September, Mr. Abel R. Jackson in the 37th year of his age."

Sep 21 1858, "Bond filed for estate of Abel R. Jackson, appointed William P. Jackson and Ann E. Jackson administrators." Howard Co. Probate Will Book, Vol. 5

Aug 7, 1847-Power of attorney Abel F. Price, grandson of James Slaton, to Abel R. Jackson, attorney. Abel F. Price of Memphis, Tn. sold to Abel R. Jackson of Howard Co. Mo. land owned by the late James Slaton, Deed Book "SS" (might be 55) page 147

Aug. 1848-Columbia Statesman, 11 Aug, 1848 On Thurs evening, by Rev. W.H. Hopson, Mr. Abel Jackson to Miss Ann Eliza, dau of Dr. John Lowry of this county.

Marriage notice: "Columbia Statesman, 11 Aug 1848..On Thursday evening (would be 5 Aug), by Rev. W.H. Hopson, Mr. Abel Jackson to Miss Ann Eliza, dau of
Dr. John Lowry of this County." The date may be the newspaper date, a few days later than the marriage date.

On the 1850 Howard Co. census, p. 149b is found A.R. Jackson, 29 m,
farmer, $4000 value, b. MO, and wife Ann E. Jackson, 19 f, b. MO, and John L. Jackson, age 1 m, b. MO.

I got his name and dates from: Olan with this note: "Abel:
Chris Parrish and I (Olan) unearthed several of the tomb stones at the Jackson family cemetery south of Fayette, MO on the George Muncton farm. One of the larger stones was for Abel R. Jackson." I was sent copies of these.
In another place, he has marriage date as 3 Aug 1848.

1860-Federal Census Howard Co.
Jackson, Susan 77 f Va
Ann E. 30 f Mo
John L. 10 m
Fannie 8 f
Anne B. 6 f
Alfred 4 f Mo
William 10 m
John 8 m

The latter two children are not Abel's but sons of Susan's other son, Milton G., whose first wife had died before then.

Ann Eliza LOWRY [Parents] [scrapbook] was born on 22 Sep 1831 in , Howard Co., Missouri. She died after 14 Sep 1917. Ann married Abel R. JACKSON on 5 Aug 1848 in , Howard Co., Missouri.

Other marriages:

FORT, Henry Toulman

Marriage record has her name as "Anne Eliza Loury."

The book, "Old Families of Randolph County, Missouri" has much written
under Ann's Fort husband. It is written by private individuals and is not always accurate. For instance, it says that this Ann and her husband were parents of "John and Allie Jackson and Bill Wayland and Fannie Hammett."
There is no way that a man would change his last name when married, so this "Bill" is referring to "Belle" who m. Henry Harrison Wayland. I had John and Allie Jackson down, but not Fannie, who apparently m. a Hammett. I have added her and will try to find out more about her.

Note: B, p.55. We have a "jet black comb, belonging to Grandma Fort." I believe that picture 1122.jpg is of her as on the back of it Lloyd Wayland
had written "Pa & Grandma Fort, mother's mother."

My father remembers Belle having two brothers, John and Allie Jackson. The 1870 Randolph Co. MO census, p. 77, shows J.T. Fort, age 16 male, Elsie (?) Fort, age 1 female, Bell Jackson, age 17 female, and A. Jackson, age 12 female (?). This may have been an error on the part of the census taker in the sex. They were found in the H.T. Fort household.

The 1860 census for Howard Co., MO has the household of Susan Jackson, age 77, VA; Ann E., 30, MO; John L. 10; Fannie B. 8; Anne B. 6; Alfred 4; William 10; John 8. The last two were sons of Milton G. Jackson. The others consisted of this Ann and her children after she was a widow.

Ann was a fiery Conferate sympathizer. Family history says that once when forced to feed some Union soldiers who descended upon her household uninvited, she slammed the plate down in front of one with the comment, "How do you know that I didn't spit in this"

One source gives her date of marriage to H.T. Fort as 1 Dec 1867, and another as 4 Dec 1867, and a third as 1 Jan 1867. Should be able to get marriage records to show which is correct. One source has her first marriage as 3 Aug 1848.

They had the following children:

		M	i	John Lowry JACKSON was born in 1849 in , , Missouri. NOTE: B, p.55. Living with mother and grandmother in 1860 census.
		F	ii	Fannie Malinda JACKSON
		M	iii	James M. JACKSON was born on 27 Nov 1852 in Fayette, Howard Co., Missouri. He died on 28 Dec 1852 in Fayette, Howard Co., Missouri and was buried in Jackson Cem..
		F	iv	Anna Belle JACKSON
		M	v	Alfred M. "Allie" JACKSON was born in 1856 in , Howard Co., Missouri. NOTE: B, p.55. Living with mother and grandmother on 1860 census.
		M	vi	Thomas Slaton JACKSON was born on 22 Mar 1858 in , Howard Co., Missouri. He died on 2 Apr 1858 in , Howard Co., Missouri and was buried in Jackson Cem.. Buried in Jackson Cemetary, Hwy. 5, South of Fayette, MO. He has about same dob as Thomas Jackson #1370, husband of Marion Earhart, dtr. of Benjamin P. Earhart and Sarah Dandridge Wayland.

Henry Harrison "Harry" WAYLAND Jr. [Parents] was born in 1875 in Moberly, Randolph Co., Missouri. He died after 1921 in Hammond, , Louisiana. Henry married Sallie J. WILLIAMS on 9 Dec 1896 in , Tangipahoa, Louisiana.

Other marriages:

DAY, Bertie L.

Birthdate from census. For some reason, unknown to me, my grandfather Lloyd did not get along well with his brothers and sister and lost contact with them. He would not talk of them to me much at all. Even my father knew little about his aunt and uncles. Harry moved to Louisiana and early marriage records of Tangipahoa Parrish, Vol. 6, p.68 show Harry H. Wayland marrying Sallie J. Williams on Dec. 9, 1896, with Lloyd Wayland, F.J. Lewis, and Sallie J. Starke as witnesses and marriage performed by Gwilyn G. Thomas, Baptist minister of Amite City, LA. In Vol. 10, p.423 of same parrish, Harry H. Wayland married Bertie L. Day in 1916. It is not known if this is the same Harry (I think it is), or perhaps his son. The obituary on his father says he is still living in Hammond, LA at that time, 1921.

Sallie J. WILLIAMS was born about 1875. She married Henry Harrison "Harry" WAYLAND Jr. on 9 Dec 1896 in , Tangipahoa, Louisiana.

They had the following children:

Lloyd WAYLAND was born on 24 Nov 1894. He died in Oct 1963. SSDI records have only 2 Lloyd Waylands listed. One is this man's uncle (my grandfather) and the other has dob as 27 Nov 1894 and dod as Oct 1963. No place of death is given; place of first issuance is TN, and place of death is TN. May be this person, as he may be age 6 in the picture 24.jpg, making this him. I have therefore used those dates here...they need to be verified.

Henry Harrison "Harry" WAYLAND Jr. [Parents] was born in 1875 in Moberly, Randolph Co., Missouri. He died after 1921 in Hammond, , Louisiana. Henry married Bertie L. DAY in 1916.

Birthdate from census. For some reason, unknown to me, my grandfather Lloyd did not get along well with his brothers and sister and lost contact with them. He would not talk of them to me much at all. Even my father knew little about his aunt and uncles. Harry moved to Louisiana and early marriage records of Tangipahoa Parrish, Vol. 6, p.68 show Harry H. Wayland marrying Sallie J. Williams on Dec. 9, 1896, with Lloyd Wayland, F.J.

Day in 1916. It is not known if this is the same Harry (I think it is), or perhaps his son. The obituary on his father says he is still living in Hammond, LA at that time, 1921.

Bertie L. DAY was born on 19 Aug 1893. She died in Dec 1976. Bertie married Henry Harrison "Harry" WAYLAND Jr. in 1916.

Soc.Sec. gives these birth & death dates. It gives the "Residence" as 70815 zip code (East Baton Rouge, LA), but "Last Benefit" going to 7044 zip code (Kentwood Co., Tangipahoa, LA). She is 18 years younger than Henry but is most likely his wife.

William W. WAYLAND [Parents] was born on 21 Oct 1879 in , , Missouri. He died on 22 Aug 1931 and was buried in Salisbury Cem., , Missouri. William married Anna E. BRECKWOLDT in 1912 in , Tangipahoa, Louisiana.

See notes under brother, Harry. Buried next to parents in Salisbury City Cemetary, Salisbury, MO. In Vol. 9, p.459 of Tangipahoa Parrish, LA marriage records, William W. Wayland marries Anna E. Breckwoldt in 1912. At the time of his father's death in 1921, Will (as he was known) was living in Tenn. My father says that he died without issue. He is in the large group photo, but his face is somewhat blurred by his hand moving.

Anna E. BRECKWOLDT "Annie" was born about 1890. She married William W. WAYLAND in 1912 in , Tangipahoa, Louisiana.

The SS death records show an Anna Wayland, b. 21 Dec 1891, d. Apr 1977, living in Knoxville, TN. Card issued in 1973. This could be her.

Perry DAVIS [scrapbook] was born on 16 Jan 1888. He died in Nov 1970 in , , California. Perry married Adah WAYLAND.

Lived in Brunswick, MO in 1921. Reportedly later moved to California and also is said to have had two sons and one daughter. His dates are from SSDI on: http://www.ancestry.com/ and need to be verified as being him.

Adah WAYLAND [Parents] [scrapbook] was born on 30 Jan 1887 in , , Missouri. She died in Oct 1963 in , , California. Adah married Perry DAVIS.

Click on "scrapbook" to see her photo; same with husband.

In father's obit in 1921, she is identified as "Mrs. Perry Davis of Brunswick" (Missouri). Lloyd told me that she later moved to California and presumably died there. My father says that she had two sons and one daughter, but nothing more is known. Incidentally, for reference purposes...Leland Wayland says that there was an Ada Davis who lived with Jeremiah Wayland and took the name of Wayland; she died without issue.

I got the dates of birth & death on her from SSDI on: http://www.ancestry.com/ and just guessed that it is the same one.
