General Notes: Husband - Charles Mowry

---

He received a classical education, and came to Pennsylvania about 1800, and engaged in teaching. In 1808 he began the publication of the Temperate Zone, at Downingtown, Chester County. This was subsequently changed to the American Republican, and Mr. Mowry continued its publication until 1821, when he came to Harrisburg in the interest of William Findlay, who was a candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania for a second term, and became editor of the Pennsylvania Intelligencer, previously the Harrisburg Republican. This paper he eventually disposed of to Gen. Simon Cameron, who had been associated with him as copartner in its management, in order that he might assume the duties of canal commissioner, to which he had been appointed by Governor Shulze. During his career as editor he acquired considerable celebrity as a political writer, and exercised a marked influence upon the policy of his party.
