NOTE: I have included various spellings because upon looking at the original patent record on some of these listings, it was quite obvious that the name was spelled with an "S" instead of an "L". In other cases, where it wasn't obvious, I included the listing if there were other Souder/Sowder's living in that particular county. Since I did not include every listing of Louder/Lowder, you may want to check the actual records at the BLM web site.

This only proves that when you're looking for records on your Souder/Sowder ancestors you have to taken into consideration different ways of spelling the name or interpretation when transcribing records.

The actual land patent record can be viewed and printed at the Bureau of Land Management - Eastern States, General Land Office web site at http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/
