Mr. Gordon H. Turner, Sr. wrote of Dr. Lowery in THE HISTORY OF SCOTTS HILL, TN, 1977), page 117, that he was a graduate of the University of South Carolina, 1831; "By 1860 he is shown with 30 slaves some of whom, if reports are true, were his own children by slave girls. . . . He was preeminently a slave-holder and farmer. . . . When I was a lad, however, the oldest citizens here said he was known for his stern mastery and ruled by brute force when any slave got out of hand." Tombstone Inscriptions from Black Cemeteries in Henderson County, Tennessee Compiled by Jonathan Kennon Thompson Smith / Copyright, Jonathan K. T. Smith, 1995 Note: The earliest death date inscribed on any old-time tombstone for a black in Henderson County, that of Rosie, who died May 1856, is located in this cemetery. Auburn Powers' HISTORY OF HENDERSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE (1930), pages 43-45 has much about Dr. Robert Lowery that he learned from Hoad Lowery, one of the doctor’s former slaves. States that ANTNEY, a slave man, was shot and killed by the doctor and buried in Lowery Cemetery. Apparently the doctor was of a vicious temperament whatever good traits he may otherwise have had.
