lumbeelady, if you are are still online I would like to talk to you about the Lowrey and O'Berry connections of early Bladen (Robeson) County, North Carolina. I am a distant relative of Henry O'Berry, one of the first settlers of what is now Robeson County. He was a native of Southampton County, Virginia. He migrated to North Carolina and was living on Raft Swamp in the early 1730s. I have heard that he raised the grandson of James Lowrey. I would like to swap what little information I have.
