But I noticed your grand- father was Eldridge LOWE. That > caught my attention. My g-g-grandfather was Bird J. LOWE, b. 1804. His daughter, Missouri Catherine, m. Elias James and they had a son named Eldridge. It is the only time the name occurs in our family. I always wondered where Catherine go the name...perhaps from husband's family. Now, I'm thinking maybe it could have been another LOWE. My LOWE family that I have documented was in the New Prospect, Boiling Springs area of Spartanburg Co., SC. Our name rhymes with "how" and "now." Do you have any ideas or info hid away? Jeanne Lowe Tucker Charlotte, NC
