Attended Oak Ridge Institute, the academic years of 1852 - 1853 and possibly more as a lot of their records have been lost in fires.
Company A, 19th Regiment, NC Troops, French's Division - Ector's Brigade - Stewart's Corps Army of Tennessee
Rob Lowrey also served as a camp guard in Company E, 67 NC Regiment, Mallett's Battalion during the Civil War. He was mostly stationed at Camp Holmes near Raleigh.
Wilson Library at UNC-CH has a collection of letters that he wrote to his mother while he served as camp guard. His letters mention one battle in Dec. 1862 in Kinston, NC and his participation in an unsuccessful search for army deserters in 1863. Many of his letters include inquiries about home and the family farm, and comments on his attempts to acquire a furlough, his feelings about the abolition of slavery, his hopes for the Confederacy, second-hand news about the war, military life (including food, clothing, and illnesses), the weather, and other soldiers.
There are also a few letters written before he joined the army, one letter that he wrote to a brother, and a few letters written by his fellow soldiers Daniel A. Pegram and N.R. Morgan to Lowrey's mother when he was ill.
The last known letter that Rob ever wrote was to his mother, from near Palmetta, GA on Sept. 27, 1864. In this letter, he instructed his mother to direct future correspondence to Palmetta Ga., Co. A, 29th Regt., N. C. Ector's Brigade French's Division Stewart's Corps Army of Tenn. On Oct. 5, 1864, the Battle of Allatoona Pass in Bartow Co., GA took place and of the 29th Regiment, 23 were killed, 39 wounded and 3 were missing. It is possible that this is where he died as he was never heard from again.
