MILITARY HISTORY OF THE

LOWRANCE FAMILY

Work-In-Progress Document

(Last update 16 Oct. 2002)

 

INTRODUCTION

 

A couple of years ago my granddaughter asked if I would visit her social Studies class during Veterans Week and speak.  I agreed and contacted her teacher.  After speaking with the 6th grade teacher, she requested I provide her with an overview of my military background and family history.  That was the initial step to begin documenting not only my military background but to also investigate my family’s history.

 

The following information is my attempt to document the Lowrance Family military history and in some small way to honor and remember those Lowrance family members, who have proudly served their country and cause, made personal sacrifices, and contributed to the Lowrance legacy. 

 

I believe those listed within this document are most probably descendants of Johannes Lorentz Lowrance and Anna Margaretha Heilger Lowrance who settled in New Jersey around 1710. 

While this document does not attempt to link each military member directly to the original settler Johannes Lorentz Lowrance, it does attempt to put into one document those with the last name Lowrance who have served in the military for future generations to view, investigate, and reflect on as a key part of their heritage.

 

I would like to thank each person who has contributed to this document.  Without your assistance I would not have been able to collect all the Lowrance names listed.  I will continue to investigate, update and solicit assistance.  As I have updates, I will ensure a new version is sent in a timely manner.  Additionally, I will keep my website, http://www.k4sx.com updated with the same information and other family data.
