Descendants of Col. Lowther.--Robert Lowther, the eldest son, whose natal day was October I, 1765, married Miss Kathrine Cain, sister of John Cain, the Slab creek pioneer, and settled on the portion of the old homestead, given him by his father. But at the death of Col. Lowther, he inherited that part of the estate which included the "old cabin," and here, on November 16, 1832, he came to his death by a fall from this cabin while engaged in re-roofing it. His wife, who was born on October 27, 1766, died here on March 25, 1851, and side by side they lie at rest in the old family burying-ground shown in the picture.
They were the parents of five sons and three daughters: William B., Jesse .G, Robert, junior, John, James K., Kathrine Susan and Mary Lowther.
William B. married Miss Margaret Coburn, and was identified with the South fork settlers in this county
Jesse G, who settled near West Gilford, was first married to Miss Nancy Swisher, and ten children were the result of this union. His second wife was Miss Wady Knight. And the two children of this marriage were: the late Dr. Jesse G. Lowther, a well known practitioner of Wirt, Wood and this county; and the late Mrs. Nancy Lowther, of Wirt county. He died at West Milford, on August 25, 1870, at the age of eighty years, and sleeps in the family burying-ground there.
Robert, junior, married Miss Eliza Highland and settled on the old homestead, near West Milford, where he reared three sons and two daughters.
James K. married Miss Lydia Knight, and principally spent his life within the walls of the old ancestral cabin, where he died at the age of ninety-five years. He had two sons and three daughters, and one of these daughters, Talkha, the last survivor of the family died (unmarried) at the old home, on February 25, 1910.
Kathrine married Thomas Ireland, and they were the first settlers at the mouth of the Middle fork of Highes river, in this county.
Susan became Mrs. Abraham Morrison, and principally spent her life on Brown's creek, in Harrison county. Her family consisted of three daughters, who have all crossed the tide.
