1	1840 United States Federal Census, Area West of Pee Dee River, Montgomery Co, NC, page 41. Census is not dated. Family headed by Betsy Lowder: 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 female under 5, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 30-40. * The age of the oldest female agrees with the 1850 census for Elizabeth Lowder, and the female 0-5 could be Eliza or her sister Lunda. Also on the page are the following Lowder families: Henry Lowder: (2 males 5-10, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 50-60, 1 female 5-10, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 20-30, 1 female 30-40. William Lowder Jun.: 1 male 20-30, 3 females 0-5, 1 female 20-30. William Lowder Sen.: 1 male 20-30, 1 male 80-90, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 15-20, 1 female 80-90. Three other families headed by Lowders are in the same census district (George Lowder on p. 15 (oldest male 40's), Samuel Lowder on p. 25 (oldest male 30's), and Danniel Lowder on p. 35 (oldedest male 40's). All three families include females in their 30's. In this census, 3 other Lowder families are found in North Carolina, 2 in Cabarrus Co, and one in Guilford. The likely relationships here are that William Lowder Senior is the father of Henry Lowder who is the father of the younger Lowder families living nearby. *** Stanly County was formed in 1841 from the part of Montgomery County West of the Pee Dee River.
