The 1850 census lists both Micheal W. (34), and John L. (31), as living in the John Lowe (age 79, born in NC) household. John Lowe is listed as the head. This fits with the age groupings in the 1820 and 1820 census for John Low (no "e" in 1830, but the "e" is included in 1820) of Jones County. Also, the 1820 census shows 6, and the 1830 census only shows 7 children for William Lowe (one was young enough to be born after the 1820 census). Based upon the estimated age of William's wife, I doubt there were others, unless you have other information. The 1830 census age grouping for William's children is not consistent with Cader Lowe (born in 1807), but is consistent with John Low(e). My theory is this: William Lowe's children had, by 1849, mostly moved away. William Candler had moved to Alabama by 1841, and I believe, taking Isaac R. Lowe and family with him. Cader, Micheal, and John L. are children of John Low(e), born about 1771 in NC. Abraham (M.?) Lowe of Jones County is not listed in GA in 1820, yet his age in 1830 (50-60) should definitely list him, and the age groupings do not show an older relation living with any older "head of household", except for Thomas Lowe of Warren County. Abraham was most likely a recent migrant to Jones County in 1830. Jeremiah Lowe shown in the 1850 census as age 29 is in the correct age grouping for William Lowe. Jacob Lowe I have not found yet. John W. I have not found yet. May be John Low(e) previously mentioned. So who does this leave me with as William's children? Isaac R. Lowe b 1811 unknown Lowe (male) b 1815-1820 (Jacob?) Jeremiah Lowe (male) b abt 1820 unknown Lowe (girl) b 1810-1815 unknown Lowe (girl) b 1815-1820 unknown Lowe (girl) b abt 1820
