  • Notes  Married:
    • Minnie Kendall Lowther, in "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 249, indicates that Elias Lowther and Rebecca Coburn were married in about 1797, which would conform to the birth dates of their older children. But "Harrison County WV Marriages 1785-1894," p. 17, shows their marriage date as May 3 1804 in chronological sequence with other marriages.
