The Lowry's,
Noell's, and
Markham's are directly or indirectly connected with
William B. Lowry, Jr., who gave the property on which the present church was
erected. He was a long time member of Timber Ridge also. As early as
1855 there are church letters showing Charles
Burr Lowry, the grand-father of
Mrs.
Bessie Lowry Markham,
my grandmother, transferring from Mount Hermon Baptist Church to Timber Ridge.
