Alford/Alfred Lowry
My gg grandfather Andrew D. Lowry lived in Des Arc, Prairie Co, Arkansas during the Civil War. In a letter dated June 18, 1863, Andrew wrote: "Alford Lowry & Henry & William Teague are in the army and have been to see me last year but they are moved out of reach now. Alford was taken prisoner last winter in a fight, was taken North and died. I have not heard from the other boys for some time."
He may have meant Alfred instead of Alford. The letter was written to siblings in Alabama so Alford/Alfred may have been from Alabama. Does this ring any bells with anyone?
