(exerpt from page 210-211 of "The Tuckerman Family" by Bayard Tuckerman
My sister Laura did not marry until after my father's death. When they (the Lucius Tuckerman family) began to live in Washington, it was a somewhat novel experience to find friends among soldiers and statesmen of the Confederate side during the Civil War. And this realization that the war belonged to the past was accentuated for us all when my sister Laura married James Lowndes of South Carolina.
James was born in Charleston, January 6, 1835, the great-grandson of Rawlins Lowndes, president of South Carolina during the Revolution. He graduated from SC College in 1854, and later was actively employed throughout the civil war, being present at Manassas, Petersburg and Appomattox. When Lee surrendered , Colonel Lowndes mounted his horse and journeyed back to Charleston, where, in the general ruin of business and property, a mother and sisters remained to be supported.
In 1874, he sought larger opportunities by removing to Washington, where he soon attained success in the practice of law. A very handsome man, he had that geniality of manner and temper characteristically Southern, the love of company and hospitality, and the gift of making and keeping strong friendships. For many years he was a valued and constant figure in the changing social life of Washington.
