Abraham Lowry was born ca 1792 in KY and died March 9, 1836 in Fountain Co., IN. He
married Rachel Hicks on December 10, 1811 in Warren Co., OH. Abraham was a veteran of the
War of 1812 and according to Rachel's application for bounty land, they moved from
Ohio to Fountain County in 1827 and she also gave his exact death date in Fountain County,
IN. Abraham was listed in the 1830 Fountain County census (spelled Lowrey) on page 154.
They may have lived in Shawnee Township.
Their oldest daughter, Elizabeth H. Lowry, married John Hardy in Fountain County on
September 19, 1838. John Hardy was listed in the 1840 Fountain County census but he
apparently died before 1850 because his wife Elizabeth H. (Lowry) was listed in the
Vermillion County, IL census in her mother's household in 1850.
Their other children were David Homer, Joseph Fleming, Mary A., Jackson, Martha H. and
John Wesley Lowry.
I visited the Fountain County, IN courthouse and library recently searching for death,
probate or land records but found nothing.
I am searching for any information about Abraham Lowry in Fountain County besides the 1830
census record and the marriage record of daughter Elizabeth H. Also, I'd like to know
if anyone knows anything about John Hardy's parents or siblings.
