Tom: I take offense to your comment concerning the Lowrie/Lowry Gang. Henry Berry Lowrie was my GreatUncle and his father Allen was my Greatgrandfather. Maybe you should read more concerning this matter, then you will understand why they were involved in a so called "Gang." Before I would ever make a decision on a matter, I would throughly research the whole story and then make a comment. Did you know that his father Allen Lowrie was killed by the so called "white ruling establishment" as was his brother, cousin and so many more. The establishment did more to cause this than anyone else. I DO NOT apologize for my comments as I know the whole story and I am very proud of Henry Berry Lowrie and his so called Gang. I do believe your comment should be said about the "White Ruling Establishment. Jean Concering the following comment. In the section on the Lowry gang a rather dastardly bunch from what Ive read, it mentions that ex-sheriff Reuben King was killed by the Lowrys, both John Dial and Steve Lowry were found guilty of the murder and sentenced to Hang. Five miles south of Lumberton was the town of Kingsdale, so named for the King family who ran the Southern Sawmills and Lumber co. there. The company also furnished the public blacksmithing there. This was Circa 1906. Thats about all on the Kings in the book, hope it helps Tom
