Notes: Don Norman's "Descendants of Robert Lowther" and Linder's "Gibson and Related Families," p. 426, report a second marriage for William B. Lowther, to Elizabeth Dotson in Feb 1825 in Harrison County. But "Harrison County Marriages 1785-1894," p. 59, identifies the groom in that marriage as William D. Lowther (this was William B. Lowther's first cousin, William Dark Lowther, son of Elias Lowther & Rebecca Coburn); records of the family's children born after 1825 identify their mother as Margaret Coburn (who died in 1882); and the 1850 Census of Ritchie County identifies the parents in their household as William B. Lowther and Margaret (both age 63). Linder, on p. 436, provides the following caveat: "There is some indication that William B. was married two times. We have not, however, found a record of any other marriage." Minnie Kendall Lowther's "History of Ritchie County," p. 105, makes it clear: "In 1840, William B. Lowther, father of Dr. William R., with his wife, Mrs. Margaret Coburn Lowther, and their family, came from his native Harrison County, and succeeded his son on the Edward J. Lowther farm, at the mouth of Turtle Run. Here the remainder of his life was spent, and in the Pullman churchyard by the side of his wife, he lies at rest." Information regarding the immediate family of this couple was reported by Minnie Kendall Lowther in "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 270, citing the family Bible and the will of William B. Lowther. William married Margaret COBURN 29 Aug 1809, Harrison Co, (W)VA.

Notes: After settling in Harrison County in 1773, Col. William Lowther figured in the building of Simpson's fort, about eight miles below Clarksburg, and West's fort, near Jane Lew. He played an important part, too, in the construction of the "Old Nutter" fort, near Clarksburg, ruins of which still mark the site. He soon became distinguished for his fearlessness as a frontiersman, and for his unselfish devotion to the welfare of the colonists. He was one of the most capable defenders of the settlement in the war of 1774, and later, and he led many successful expeditions against the enemy. He was the first Justice of the Peace in the district of West Augusta; the first Sheriff of Harrison and Wood Counties; and was at one time a member of the General Assembly at Richmond, Virginia. Having served in all the subordinate ranks of military life, he rose to that of Colonel. His military record was such as to admit his descendants to membership in the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. William married Sudna HUGHES CA 1763, Hardy Co, (W)VA.
