Hawley Lowe was the son of William and Jane (Gore) Lowe. In the 1850 Delaware County, Iowa census he is listed as "Hawly M. Lowe" but the family has a letter he wrote to his aunt, Ann Gore where he signed it J. Hawley Lowe. At this point we do not know for sure what his complete name was, only that he went by Hawley Lowe. He was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Around 1819 the family moved to Madison County, Alabama until around 1831 when they moved to Madison County, Ill. Hawley and two of his brothers left home around 1838 to go to the lead mines near Galena, Ill, but by 1839 they had settled in what later became Delaware County, Iowa. On March 20, 1845 Hawley married Rachel Mariah Russell in White Oak Springs, Wisconsin. She was the daughter of Barnabas and Jane (Potter) Russell. In 1840 he was listed as a judge in Delaware Co. and in 1841 was elected constable for Swartz Precinct in the same county. In 1858 he and Mariah moved to Adair County, Missouri. They were the parents of eight children, the last was born after Hawley's death at the Battle of Silver Creek (Roan's Tan Yard). He was being paid by an unknown person to serve in that man's place in the Confederate Army. The Confederate soldiers who died at the battle were buried in an unmarked grave. I found this info on the internet about Bagby Cemetery: "It started in approximately 1862 with the burial of Confederate soldiers found dead or dying after battle of Silver Creek or Rowan Tan yard. Just south of Farm. All are unknown. Some say 2 some say 7. Their are no markers.
They are in 1st, front row, south west corner"
