1860 White County Tennessee Census lists:
Mary                  48     NC                               
Sarah                 56     NC
Sarah A.            25     NC
Susan                19     NC
Phillip J.             17     NC
Stephen             12     NC
Jane                  10      IN
Murdoc Lowery    27     NC     Farm laborer (mulatto)
James Dodson     19     TN     Farm laborer
Solomon Sparks   18    VA     Farm laborer

Mary is obviously Mary Holcomb Pledger, and Sarah (age 56) is Stephen's older sister.  Family listed in 1860 White Co., TN census, but not 1870, having moved back to Robeson Co., NC

Hired hand (a Lumbee Indian) by the name of Murdock Lowrie was living with family in White Co., Tennessee when census taken in1860, and census listed him as mulatto, common practice at the time.  Was this the brother of Henry Berry Lowrie, the "Carolina Robin Hood" who some considered an outlaw because he fought oppression of the Indians during period 1862-1872?

 

   NOTE
According to a document I have, Captain Philip Pledger, who settled on the Pee Dee River, in or near Marlboro Co., SC (who married Mary Ann Ellis in 1740) may have been our earlier ancestor, but no positive link has yet been established.  If you have information regarding a link between anyone on this page and the South Carolina Pledgers, please contact me.
