Col. Thomas Lowry of Virginia married Rebecca Jones, who had red hair. Their children were: William (who died unniarried), Thomas (who married Elizabeth Diggs and left issue), Elizabeth (who married a Mr. Richards), and
Sarah Lowry, b. July 21, 1745; d. May 3, 1819. It is said that she became engaged to George Stubblefield, son of George, when about fifteen years of age. To prevent her early marriage, her father sent her to school 600 miles from home. Later she returned home and married Col. Raleigh Dangerfield, and had six children, all of whom died in infancy. Two years after his death, she married her first love, George Stubblefield. He became a Captain in the Revolutionary Army, and his orderly book is among the printed records of the Virginia Historical Society. Before the close of the War, he rose to the rank of Major. While he was away with the Revolutionary Army, the British soldiers persecuted his wife, who, with her children, was obliged to flee from her home. Her children were,-William Tabb Stubblefield (m. Susan Cannon), John Lowry Stubblefield (m. Fanny Jones), and
Martha Peyton Stubblefield, m. Bushrod Taylor. . . .
