2 sources USM McCain Lib:
A Light on a Hill by Robbie Neal Sumrall
General Lowery's Unpublished Manuscript
That quote may have come from another source, I will keep my eyes open.
What information do you have or are you looking for and are you familiar
with the above?
I noticed there was a Stephens married to a Lowery and I was wondering,
if
(the
General's mother) Mrs.. Lowery, already had family living in Mississippi
when her husband (I think, from memory) died and she moved to Mississippi.
I had planned on redoing my Grandfather story and General and where
the
General was, so was my Grandfather, generally .

According to records retrieved from the National Archives, my g-g
grandfather,
Jefferson Milam was enlisted in Co C, by M. P. Lowery on 8 March, 1862,
as
a
Pvt. He was 42 old at the time and lived with his family near
Booneville.
Subsequent to his enlistment he became ill and was evacuated to Tupelo,
MS,
where he was reported to have died of disease on 25 June 1862.
His oldest
son
, William Milam, who was 18 and from Booneville, was enlisted by M.
P.
Lowery
in Co C, on 13 Apr 1862. William, according to his Archive Record,
also
became sick shortly after enlisting and was returned home on leave.
William
recovered from his illness,returned to his unit and served until 19
September
1863, when he was killed on the 1st day of the Battle of Chickamauga.
Do you have any records of the disposition of soldiers who died in the
hospital at Tupelo? Do you know of any listing and disposition
of soldiers
killed at Chickamauga?

Well Tom, hope you had a great 4th..I sure did. This is totally unreal,
but
I've got folks buried at Hodges also...namely my great Grandfather,
Peter
George Green and his wife, Angeline Terry Green, also his mother who
married
a Goff, plus Great uncle James Thomas Green and his wife, Louella,
plus a
cousin, Roy Francis Cox.......Wow....I've got access to a cemetary
book
with
all Hodges burials up to 1981..just tell me what you want to know...Also,
I
believe there is a copy of the original hand-written enlistments of
the
2nd,
26th, and 32nd, in Booneville..I will check the next oppurtunity I
get...Dixie Forever...J.R. Green
Tom....I just remembered that I have a list of 32nd Miss. veterans that
applied for pensions in Miss. after 1900. If you don't already have
them,
just let me know, and I will send them to you. Also, I believe I remember
seeing a copy of the original, handwritten enlistment rolls, by company
for
the 32nd up in Booneville. I will be up that way Monday, and will check
it
out....Later....J. R. Green
