G.N. Thompson served in Company G 6th Ala Cavalry from Bibb Co. AL. He filed for pension for this service from Taylor Co. Texas where he lived. His son, Benjamin, gave a synopsis of his military service on the application, and I thought it might be helpful to someone. Answer to Questions: English Texas [Red River County] August 23. 97 Int 1st I have known Gideon N. Thompson for more than Fifty years. Knew him in 1863. Also 1865. And in fact ever since we came from Bibb Co Ala at the close of the Civil War together & landed in Red River Co 12 miles East from Clarksville September the 17th 1865. In april 1868 we together went to Washington Co Ark and resided in that state until January 1870. We came back to Texas and have resided in Texas ever since. G.N. Thompson was a Confederate soldier.

Author: slowry22 Surnames: Lowry, Lowrey, Lowery Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alabama.counties.bibb/3814/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'd like to establish contact with any Lowrey/Lowery/Lowry families who came to Bibb County, AL in the early 1800s, particularly those who hailed from Bledsoe County, TN. The names of the Lowrys in Bibb County's early years are very similar to those of our extended Lowry family. Would also like to know if any Lowry families from this area have had a DNA test done...our line has done the DNA testing...our family line includes John "Crip" Lowry, born 1753, Scotland, and his younger brother, Thomas Lowry, possibly born in Ireland circa 1760-1770 before the family came to America. Thomas Lowry and John "Crip" Lowry families both lived in Guilford County, NC, in 1800-1820 time frame, and in TN (John "Crip" Lowry's family went to Bledsoe and then DeKalb County, AL; Thomas Lowry's family went to Maury County, TN and then on to Gallatin County, IL and points beyond) If your Lowrys have roots in Bibb, Bledsoe Co. TN, or NC, we'd love to hear from you! We are particularly interested i! n the family of Joel Lowry, since he has sons whose names mirror our family tree in that time frame.

Thank you, Melissa. It must have been the 1900 fire that became the "legend" of the Civil War Fire. I had heard that story forever. I did research in the 70's and 80's in the Bibb Courthouse (great memories), but never even looked for Chilton.
