History of Clarion County, Pennsylvania
Edited by A. J. Davis
Pub. D. Mason & Co., Syracuse, N.Y. - 1887

         [p. 634-635]
         
         LOWRY, SAMUEL, was born in County Down, Ireland, May 9, 1809.
       On his fourteenth birthday, May 9, 1823, he set sail, in company
       with his parents, for America. After a very tempestuous voyage
       upon the sea, and encountering many difficulties in crossing the
       State, they landed in Redbank township, now Clarion county, April
       8, 1824. His father purchased the farm now owned by SAMUEL BOWERSOX,
       and located in Porter township. SAMUEL LOWRY passed his youth at
       this place, working upon the farm. He was bound out as an appren-
       tice to a carpenter in Kittanning. After completing his trade he
       worked in Pittsburgh for six weeks, and went from there to Butler,
       Pa. While there he married ELIZA BARNHART, March 12, 1835. Three
       children have been born to them, MARY ELLEN, SUSANNAH and ANN
       ELIZA. SUSANNAH died January 3, 1845, and ANN ELIZA April 15, 
       1858.
       
         He purchased 185 acres of land adjoining his father's farm, from
       JOHN H. BRODHEAD, November 9, 1835. After purchasing the farm, he
       worked at Butler and the "Great Western" until the farm was paid
       for, when he moved on it and followed farming until the breaking
       out of the Rebellion. He enlisted in the Seventy-eighth Regiment
       of Pennsylvania Volunteers, and remained with the army during the
       war. He was severely wounded between two mules, and suffers yet
       from the effects; also slightly wounded at the battle of Stone
       River. At the close of the war he returned to the farm and con-
       tinued farming until after the death of MRS. LOWRY, which occurred
       March 14, 1882. He purchased property in New Bethlehem, and moved
       there March 17, 1885, living with his daughter, the only remaining
       member of his family. One sister is the only remaining member,
       besides himself, of this father's family.
