Notes:

"The surname of Farabee in this Furbee line was deliberate and is not an inconstancy."

Notes:

On February 12th, 1721 Michael Lowber deeded 100 acres of land to Benjamin and Susannah, as a wedding present. Benjamin called it "Furbys Lott" and it was located on the Two Runs later called Double Run, which is about eight miles away from Dover, Maryland. The land was part of the Southampton tract he had purchased from Daniel Rutty. The land remained in the family for almost 100 years. It was on this land that Benjamin was the owner and operator of the "King George's Inn" where he went by the title of "Squire".

On August 10th, 1724 Benjamin increased his land holdings. He bought from Andrew Caldwell, for he price of ten pounds a parcel, the land between that of William Mifflin and a branch of Murderkill Creek, the Double Run. This land had been previously sold to Caldwell by Michael Lowber and the purchase of the land brought the land back into the family.

Notes:

"The information directly below I do not have the sources for. I will be reviewing records as time permits. The second part of the information below is a rebuttal to top half.

'Susanna was born in the Colonies, near what is now Dover, Delaware. Her grandfather, Peter Lowber, came from Amsterdam, Holland, in 1684. That was 10 years before her future husband, Benjamin Furbee, was born.
There is a house still standing in Magnolia, Delaware, built in 1774 by Matthew Lowber, most likely related to Susanna Lowber Furbee. I have the Historical American Buildings Survey measured drawings of the house built by Matthew. I have been working on a sort of replica in scale 1:12 and have completed a great deal of it. I plan to finish and leave it for my children and grandchildren. Hopefully, they will keep it. There is a lot of work in it, and quite a bit of money, as well, but I doubt if anyone other than family would want it. I also have a list of all owners of the property from the Delaware records. The last I heard, it was in the process of being restored to it's appearance sometime in the 1800's.
Peter Lowber, according to the current owner of the Matthew Lowber house, also built a larger home in Frederica, Delaware, in the 1700's. I believe it is older than the Matthew Lowber house. It is reported to have been a house used in the Civil War years as part of the Underground Railroad for escaped slaves. They would be hidden in the cellar until they could move on to the next safe house.'

The above information is mostly correct, however, Matthew Lowber, Susanna's Father, died in 1746, long before the Lowber house was built in 1774 by another Matthew Lowber. I used to try to think of the house as having been visited by the Furbees who were in The Revolutionary War. And that would have been possible, but the Mathew who built the house was in a later generation. Susanna had a brother, Michael Lowber, born around 1710, who could have been the builder, or it might have been HIS son. This is all guess on my part. I need to do more Lowber research. (In view of later information, the builder MIGHT have been Michael Lowber. The initials in brick on the ends of the house are L over ML over 1774.) March, 2000.'"

The Book "Virden and Allied Families of Delaware" as well as a few other sources debate as to whom Susannah Lowber married first. Many other researchers and I believe that Susannah married David Lewis after the death of Benjamin Furbee. The wedding gift of the 100 acres of land at Double Run, called Furby's Lot, and the birth dates of her children seem to indicate that the timing would not allow David to have been the first husband.



"Susannah's will was made on March 20th, 1763. The will was probated May 18th, 1763. Her heirs from her first marriage were sons Bowers, Michael, Caleb, Benjamin Furbey and daughter Elizabeth Furbee Boyer. Her heirs from her second marriage were sons Daniel, David, and Stephen Lewis. The Executor was son Michael Furbey. The Trustees were her friends John Caton and Daniel Robisson. The Witnesses were Daniel Robbisson, Hanahretta Anderton, and Febey Pecue."
