More From Pembroke Joycettes Installation Banquet Che Life and Times of Henry Berry Lowry i t)e_:^wc— Hfezssxl ScuTfletown was an area with hard-to-define borders. The whites of Robeson used the term to apply to the region primarily inhabited by the “Free Persons of Color” who differed immensely from their more affluent white neighbors; the descendants of the same “Free Persons of Color” are today recognized as Lumbee Indians, so named after Lum bee River which was later renamed Lumber River. The above sketch is not all inclusive and is not presented to scale. It is simply a rough sketch of the main stomping grounds of Henry Berry Lowry and the Lowry Gang. Its purpose is to better give the reader a general idea of the many townships, swamps, etc. he has read about in this weekly column. "burg, Missisjjppi is named and who frequently patronized Lowry’s place, ran a store at Fair Bluff,- also in Robeson County. Because of the In dian’s unruly behaviour when drinking, Col. Vick named the region inhabited primarily by them Scuffietown; his reason ing was that it was generally a scuffle to live among, or to get along with these “half breeds.” The region Col. Vick was referring to was that region lying East of Drowning Creek (later changed to Lum bee River and yet again to Lumber River) and extending for a couple of miles East of Bear Swamp. In 1791 James Lowry, of whom all present-day Lowrys are descended, sold out his property on Lowry Swamp and moved to what was once known as the ‘Harper’s Ferry Place.’ Here he opened up a combination grocery store and saloon. It was here at Lowry’s Grocery Store/Saloon that Scuffietown earned its name. A more precise understand ing of the location of this region can be obtained by reading Mrs. Mary C. Nor- ment’s description in “The Lowrie History”: Col. Vick, of whom Vicks- “ Scuffietown proper is locat ed a little to the northwest of the centre of Robeson Coun ty, the centre being near Pates about 15 miles north-west of Lumberton, on the Carolina Central Railway. Eight miles north-westward of Lumberton, on the Carolina Central Rail way, is the station of Moss Neck. Seven miles from Moss Neck, on the Carolina Central Railway, is the station of Red Banks, between Moss Neck and Red Banks are Eureka and Blue’s (Buie’s) store, so that properly speaking the Carolina Central Railway cuts into parts the territory of Scuffietown, which extends on both sides of the railway tracks some three or four miles, interspersed with branches, swamps, and bays. It is a part of the great swamp district of North Caro lina below the sand hills. Standing at Lumberton, the county site, and looking north westward you see the Ten Mile Swamp, with Dockery’s mill on it (formerly Rhode’s Mill), then the Big Raft Swamp, Richland Swamp, Burnt Swamp, Bear Swamp, all north of the railway track, travers ing the country and running into Lumber River south of the Carolina Central Railway. Nor th of the railway track “the Lowrie Band” never com mitted a murder. South of the railway track runs Lumber River; parallel' with Lum ber River runs Back Swamp for twenty miles, the river and swamp being at some places two miles apart, at others three miles. On Back Swamp, about ten miles from Inman’s bridge across Lumber River is the place where the Lowrie Robbers kept their secret camp. Around Moss Neck station are the scenes of their boldest murders and assas sinations.” Larry Brooks, President of Pembroke Jaycees, presents the gavel to Joyce W. Cum mings, new Jaycette Presi dent.
