Henry Berry Lowrie
Henry Berry Lowrie or "Lowry" (c. 1845 – February 20, 1872?) led a gang in North Carolina during and after the American Civil War. He is sometimes viewed as a Robin Hood type figure, especially by the Lumbee people, who consider him a Native American ancestor and a pioneer in the fight for civil rights and tribal self-determination. Lowrie was described by George Alfred Townsend, a correspondent for the ''New York Herald'' in the late 19th century, as “()ne of those remarkable executive spirits that arises now and then in a raw community without advantages other than those given by nature."〔Townsend, George Alfred (1872). ''The Swamp Outlaws: or, The North Carolina Bandits; Being a Complete History of the Modern Rob Roys and Robin Hoods,'' New York: Robert M. DeWitt.〕
==Early life==
Lowrie was born c.1845 to Allen and Mary (Cumbo) Lowrie in the Hopewell Community, in Robeson County, North Carolina. His father owned a successful mixed-use farm in the county. Henry Lowrie was one of 12 children, described as multi-racial or free people of color. In 1872, the journalist George Alfred Townsend wrote of him:
"The color of his skin is of a whitish yellow sort, with an admixture of copper—such a skin as, for the nature of its components, is in color indescribable, there being no negro () blood in it except that of a far remote generation of mulatto, and the Indian still apparent."
