He was the son of John Stewart Lowery and Sarah Caroline McFalls. The name McDonal may have been a…

John William Lowery and his wife Sarah Caroline McFalls were my great great great grandparents. John William Lowery was born in Yancy County, North Carolina on April 6, 1845.

RUFUS MARION FOWLER died gallantly on May 5, 1864 after the Battle of the Wilderness in Spotsylvania County, Virginia.
