from biography of W. Benton Lawyer. Published 1907 "Historical Encyclopedia of IL and History of McDonough County by Bateman and Selby. Page 933

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.

They had five children: four living
Benton & Mary's children: Charles B., // Edna (Mrs. E.Q. H. Douglas) of Davenport, Washington, // Ethel (Mrs. Fred L. Kirby of Mason City, IA and // Rall at home in 1907
(1910 census has Ralph 13, and Fred 10 ?? - listed as grandsons of Sarah Francis)
 
  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  
 get and check. Betw. 1854 & 1856 John Lowderman died. //Probably August 4, 1856 in Schuyler Co. IL see will abstracts, Thomas Bronaugh, Administrator.  
 ? 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)
