 * The relationships here are not firmly established.  The marriage record indicates that the Names of L. Brady Lowder's parents were Eliza and Edmond and that Edmond was deceased as of 13 June 1894.  Eliza Lowder is found in the 1880 and 1870 census with sons James and Ledocus/Lawrence (which could be L. Brady although there is no other evidence for this) and Joshua (1880 only).  In the 1860 and 1850 census Eliza is living with her mother Elizabeth Lowder along with a sister, Lunda/Landa/Lundy.
 * Edmond Lowder does not appear in any of the Ancestry.com indices for the years 1880, 1870, 18860 or 1850.  An Edmund Lowder is found in Stanly County, NC in the 1880 census, but he is too young (b. 1873) to have been L. Brady's father.
 * The son with whom Eliza Lowder is living in 1910 is Joshua, based on census data from 1920 (not copied here).
 * A number of possibilities can be supported by the James Edman Lowder death certificate.  Since the father is listed as "not known", it is probable that Eliza Lowder was never married.  This could mean that the three sons had the same or different fathers.  The name Edmond Lowder given on the marriage license application as father of L. Brady Lowder could be a totally made-up name, a name derived from his older brother James Edman, or it is possible that the father's first name was Edmond and the license clerk assumed the Lowder. It could also be that Eliza Lowder and an Edmond Lowder were cousins.   Since North Carolina did not maintain birth records until after 1900, it would appear that this line will be difficult to follow further unless a church record can be located that indicates the father.
