Charles Francis G
Lowndes was my great grandfather. My records show he was born 4 Jul 1851 in
Winston Salem, NC. He married Nancy Virgina
Yarbrough in 1872. They had 8 children, the youngest being my grandfather, Charles George
Lowndes. The family was residing in Humboldt Town,
Gibson, TN in 1900 and
Jackson Ward 3,
Madison, TN in 1910.
Charles' father was Francis Birckett
Lowndes born in
London. Family legend has it that he came to American as a young man and married an American girl (name unknown). He was said to have owned a successful
Buggy and Carriage shop in
Winston Salem, but I can find no actual facts on this.
I would love to work with you on this if you are still interested.
