My wife's Great-Grandfather was Ned Lowrey, born Jan. 1, 1880 and died June 11, 1981. Ned married Sallie Tail. Sallie was born Dec. 27, 1884 and died June 17, 1962.
Ned's Father was John Lowrey and Ned's Mother was Sallie Redbird. I do not have any dates for his parents.
Here is the Miller Application for Mollie Field showing relationship to a Sallie Lowrey.
