Where are your Lowry families from?

Mine came to the US from County Down, Northern Ireland, via Wilmington, Delaware in 1776, after the death of the patriarch of the family. They settled in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and some later moved to Western New York as well. Someday (like most things lately, of course!) I would like to track down descendants and start a reunion.

Mostly Tennessee and then Texas. Immigration from Ireland is assumed, but documentation has not been forthcoming.

I think we may be from the same branch. My gggreat-grandfather spent most of his life in Mississippi after moving there from Alabama. His father was from South Carolina, and his grandfather was from Georgia.

My Lowery ancestor was Mary Lowery married to Edward Wing, I believe they were from SC, she was born sometime in the 1700's. They later came to Georgia. Their Daughter Elizabeth Wing was my ancestor married to Thomas Boatright.

My Lowery's came from Co. Galway, Ireland in the early 1900's. Many settled in Chicago, IL, although my Grandfather, Michael Joseph Lowery, settled in Pittsburgh, PA, married to Catherine Coyne, also from Co Galway.
