JOHN STRANGE LOWER seems to have been a colorful character! It seems he was a physician during the Civil War, and his "office" was aboard a paddle wheel boat on the Mississippi River!
There has been the tendency by some researchers to link him to Pennsylvania for some reason. He was probably never in the state, although his father was born there.
John's given names were probably chosen because there was a Methodist minister, named John Strange, on the early Indiana frontier, whom his father and Uncle Joseph knew from their early organizing of congregations.
John and his second wife, Sabina, were among the founders of the First Presbyterian Church, in Noblesville, Indiana, in 1848. John was the Secretary of the congregation.
There is probably a great story of his life waiting to be written about him. As he lived in many places, there is strong "paper trail" behind him.

Rev. Lower had an APPENDIX in his book, which detailed the family of Dr. John Strange Lower quite accurately. However, Dr. Lower did not belong to this Wurttemburg family, but instead to the much larger Lower family from Hirstein, in the Saarland.

The text discussed the formation of churches in Noblesville, and noted the founding of the First Presbyterian Church, and gave the names of J. S. Lower, and Sabina Lower. There was also the mention of a "Mrs. Dunlap". Could she have been the mother of Sabina?
