I guess I have missed the point that you are trying to make here? What relationship (if any) are you suggesting exists between John Lowe Clermont Co. 1810 and the Adams Co. Ohio Lowes? Elijah Lowe's obituary says he came to Adams Co. in 1825 and we know that he and his brother, Kendall, were in Worcester Co. Maryland in 1819/ 1820. You have mentioned Hudson Lowe who married Sabina Hunt in your posting. He and his son Thomas Lowe, with whom Sabina was listed in 1880 (note that a line has been drawn through her name and that she appears in the mortality schedule for that year) are my husband's direct line of ancestors. You have also mentioned Zadock Low and his wife Sarah. DNA tests have shown that there is no link between the Zadock Lowe line and the Hudson Lowe line. You have also made mention of Barton Lowe and Gideon Lowe. Rootsweb lists them as brothers, which seems suspect as the senior Barton Lowe in 1820 and 1830 has only one son listed in the age category given for them. Since Gideon is listed next to the senior Barton in 1840, he seems more likely to be the son in Barton's household in 1820/30 and more closely fits the age category. To my knowledge, no DNA has been submitted to the study from any of the Barton Lowe descendants. It would be helpful in clearing up some of these lineages! I would like to see more postings of documents pertaining to these Ohio Lowes since rootsweb has been so unreliable! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
