The ASH, WILSON, LOWE, and BRYAN Home Page

I am researching family names of ASH, WILSON, BRYAN, HOLT, PROSE, LOWE, BISHOP and MARBURGER.

I am also seeking more information on John Wilson of Londonderry, Ireland (about 1680) and his descendants. Surnames include Brackenridge, Bryan, Clark, Core, Davis, Denny, Erdman, Finch, Gaston, Grizzle, Guthrie, Henderson, Holt, Horn, Howlett, Imlay, Scott, Taylor, Wilson, and Wray.

Lowe ancestors were in Kentucky in early 1800s, probably migrating from North Carolina. Looking for information on Thomas Lowe and Ezra Lowe.

I need information of Zephaniah Bryan, born in 1808 in Butler County, Pennsylvania and died in 1886 in Fayette County, Ohio. I am seeking information on his parents.

THE 2011 "BIG" ASH REUNION WAS HELD IN KAUAI, HAWAII JUNE 24-26, 2011. WE WERE WELCOMED BY LAVERNE SILVA'S FAMILY WITH BEAUTIFUL PLUMERIA LEIS MADE BY LAVERNE'S GRANDCHILDREN.
