Hi Scott Skeen This is very familiar. During my WILLIAMS research I found a Williams cousin that married a Ada Myrtle SKEEN. In addition I know that there a lot of SKEEN's buried in the Plains City, Utah Cemetery. I also have contact information for a living descendant of the Daniel WILLIAMS Ada SKEEN marriage. In regards to the LOWE surname I have a LOWE link and I just saw email of a person that has a LOWE line from Lehi, Utah. If you think further information about a possible link would help please email me back for more details.
