Elizabeth Lowry

Not the child of John Campbell or of Robert Campbell

Lazarus Lowry was the son Son of James and Mary Lowry. He married first, Elizabeth (Etta) Campbell ca. 1714, Ireland.

Lazarus first married, in Ireland, in about 1713. The name of his wife is Elizabeth, and she was called Etta. Some of the family histories seen give her the last name of Campbell, but no solid documentation on this. It is solidly established that Etta died after 1725 and prior to 1731. She may have died in Ireland, along with her youngest son David, or on the voyage to America, or, as some undocumented accounts suggest, in one of the many raids on the Donegal settlements which would eventually culminate in the French and Indian War. This last is quite possible, as these raids took a fearful toll in the area that Lazarus called home. Because Lazarus’ youngest son by Etta, Alexander, would have been only six or seven years old at the time of Etta’s death, it is unlikely that he would have waited any great length of time before the grim necessities of frontier life would have made re-marriage needful.

Lazarus and Elizabeth "Etta" (Campbell) Lowry's children were:

1. James Lowry (m. Susannah Patterson)
2. John Lowry (m. Elizabeth MNU)
3. Daniel Lowry (m. Margaret MNU)
4. Joseph Lowry (m. Ann Patton Boggs)
5. Col. Alexander Lowry, Sr. b.1723-d.1805 (m. 1st. Ann West and 2nd., Mary Waters)

According to the Church Historian Portia Brian, Lazarus Lowrey was born in Ireland and came to Donegal in 1729. He owned the land adjoining Donegal, later to become the Cameron Estate. He died in Philadelphia in 1753.

Secondly, he married Ann Miller "Millie: (Boggs) Lowry ca. 1730, PA She had married 1st., ca. 1725 to Capt. Thomas Edwards. Possible child may have been John Edwards as mentioned in his Will.
