    Greetings all,
    I am seeking information about my GGgf William Lowrey. He was a GGgson of
    Major George Lowrey. I have not been able to learn much about him except the
    following: He was born in the Cherokee Nation East, c 1821, married Anohie
    Bigbullet and had one child with her a Bowl Lowrey. He later married Lucy
    Fourkiller and had four children, Silas, Kate, Elis and my Ggf John Lowrey
    who was born near Stilwell. I had a date of death for William Lowrey of 1861
    but have seen him on the roster of the 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles-Holt's
    Squadron. And I have been told that he was in the battle of Pea Ridge.
    My Ggf John was born in 1845 or 46 and as far as I know was the youngest
    child of Lucy Fourkiller and William Lowrey.
    There is a Lowery and a Lowry on the Drennan roll of 1852. They both are on
    page 149. I would appreciate any information about how I might learn more
    about these people on the Drennan roll.
    Also, I would like to know if there is a listing of Cherokees who fought at
    Pea Ridge and those that were killed there. Many thanks, Keith Lowrey
