Lawyer, W. Benton
. --
....Mr. Lawyer was married to Mary E. Lowderman, who was born in Indianapolis, Ind., and schooled in Scott County, Ill. Mrs. Lawyer's parents were John and Sarah (Dunnick) Lowderman, both natives of Ohio, the father of Cincinnati. The mother [Mary ] was of a family of two children, her brother, G. F. Dunnick [wrong - brother was LOUDERMAN, not DUNNICK] being a farmer in Pike County, IL. The parents came from Schuyler County, Ill., in 1852, and remained there until their daughter Sarah was nine years old, when they removed to Meredosia, Ill., and thence to Scott County where, as stated, she was educated. Mrs. Lawyer lost her father when she was only six years of age, but her mother is still living in Scott County.
 
  ca 1855 - George F. (or T.) Lowderman b. in Illinois. 1860 census He wed Maria E. Woods in 1878 in Scott Co. IL - 3 children, John, Charles and Mary plus an adoped son, Albert Harris Lowderman b. 1866  
  There is more than one John Lowderman and wife in McDouough Co. IL during that time frame. So I don't know if this is "our" John- perhaps the actual deed will have the signature of his wife. I didn't go to the court house to see as it was closed the day I views the index. On December 1, 1855, John Lowderman and wife sell land in McDonough Co. IL (NW 2y 5ct 4w) to Henry Lowderman Grantee. - It may be the same land he purchased in March 17 1855 from Ephram Jarvis (NW 27 5N 4w)  
  Able Louderman b. ca 1816 in OH. d. Schuyler Co., IL Nov.14, 1855.
John Louderman was Administrator (is it our John, wife Sarah --- or the John 1831-1903-whose wife was Juliette)
 
  John Lowderman d. August 4, 1856 in Schuyler Co. IL (Thomas Bronaugh Admr)  
  1857, Jan 29 Marries John STRADLEY in Schuyler Co. IL (he appears to be a widower)

  1886, Oct. 6 Marriage book for Scott Co.IL. Book B, page 136 has a Sarah R. Stradley marrying a Robert T. B. FRANCIS. (I have not proven that this is our Sarah Ruth Dunnick, but think it is likely to be.)  
  1900 Sarah R. and husband Robert T. B. Francis were living in Chambersburg twp, Pike County, IL. They had been wed 14 years. Sarah was born in OH and did not know about her parents. Robert and his parents in WV. Sarah was born December 1832 and Robert April 1847. With them was Robert's son Jesse L. age 21.

Sarah R. had four children, two were living in 1900 per census
