Lazarus first married, in Ireland, in about 1714. The name of his wife is Elizabeth {Etta} Campbell.
According to the Church Historian Portia Brian, Lazarus Lowrey was born in Ireland. He owned the land adjoining Donegal, later to become the Cameron Estate. Lazarus Lowrey, the founder of the Lowrey trading family in America, came to America in 1729 from Northern Ireland with several of his older children who were born in Ireland by his first wife, Etta Campbell. They settled in Donegal, Lancaster County PA where he took up 333 acres of land about two miles from Marietta. He established a trading post there in 1730, receiving a license to sell 'liquor by the small'. He was an energetic man, and over time, became a large landowner with indentured servants and slaves.
In the 'Consolidation of Ships Passenger Lists' for Philadelphia, a notation was found that stated "William Humphreys assigns Robert Walker to Lazarus Lowry for four years from 5 Jun 1746; consideration: 15 pounds."
It is solidly established that Etta died after 1725 and prior to 1731. She may have died in Ireland, along with her youngest son, or on the voyage to America, or, as some undocumented accounts suggest, in one of the many raids on the Donegal settlements which would eventually culminate in the French and Indian War. This last is quite possible, as these raids took a fearful toll in the area that Lazarus called home. Because Lazarus' youngest son by Etta, Alexander, would have been only six or seven years old at the time of Etta's death, it is unlikely that Lazarus would have waited any great length of time before the grim necessities of frontier life would have made re-marriage needful.
