During the late 19th and early 20th my grandfather's family the Hilson were land holders in Mississippi. Like an African American family the house was burned and the family disappeared. My grandfather was a baby and his sister worked for the Governor at the time. She also disappeared. My grandfather Buster Lowry, Sr. stayed with Robert Lowry's family till he was of age and went on a joined the military. He never went back to Mississippi.
My father was his oldest son, Buster Lowry, Jr.
