James M. Lowry |
| "Col. James M. Lowry, of Sandy Mush [Madison county], was long and favorably known as an industrious and enterprising citizen, both in public and private. He served his Country in the legislature very acceptably a great number of times; was State Councillor; and filled many other stations of honor and trust. Bishop Asbury said of him in his early days, 1802: 'I would here record that James Lowry, an agreeable, pious youth, rode with me for the last seventy miles. I feel truly grateful to him and to his family. May the same measure of kindness be always meted to him and his, and to all such affectionate young men and feeling, attentive people.' He raised a large family to usefulness and respectability; was a...member of the Methodist Church for nearly a half century; and died in peace in 1857. (1858. Bennett, D. K. Chronology of North Carolina. p.104.) |
