John Lowery was my great-great grandfather by his first wife Nancy Jane Dorough, through their daughter Dora. He was in a mental institution in Texas for several years. I am researching mental illness from a historical perspective, perhaps for a future article.

My family is Adams. My grandmother Imogene Kemper Adams was Nancy Lena Lowery's daughter. That would make John Lowery my Great Great Grandfather. I would love to view your family tree to verify some of our information, if possible. Also, would love to assist with any family research regarding mental illness. I work at St Edwards in Austin TX. jeanb@stedwards.edu. I have some photos from Lowery family reunions if you are interested.
