William Lowmiller came from Level Corners (west of Williamsport at a bend in the Susquehanna between Linden and Jersey Shore [1]) and wove coverlets.
Later in life, he became a carpet weaver.[2] His father was likely Henry Lowmiller (1770-1844), who owned land in Anthony Township, northwest of Williamsport and north of Linden, PA. Henry Lowmiller was the son of Johann Heinrich Lowmiller of Kassel, Germany, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1752 and married Feronica Snevely. They lived in Dauphin County, PA, possibly East Hanover Township.
William Lowmiller's wife Lanah Van Steever was born in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The 1900 census lists her family as originating from Germany. Her family moved to Paradise Valley (south of Muncy, near Turbotville) and, before coming to Muncy, she lived with a friend in Sugar Valley (near Loganton, PA).
William and Lanah married and moved to Muncy in 1838. They moved William's weaving equipment from Level Corners by boat to their home at 124 S. Main Street in Muncy. William dyed his own wool and used jacquard cards to make designs.
