Dear Gerald: Fielding Lowe is my husband's 5X great grandfather. That cairn of rocks is the grave of his second wife, not him, as Miller McDonald's book says. Fielding built it. I found her headstone, but it is in a place in the cairn that if I tell it, someone might tear it down trying to see it. It has her date of death on it. I also took a chance of getting eaten up by a rattler, sticking my hand, with a flashlight, back into that hole. Fielding is buried on the left side of that cairn of stones, if you are standing at the bottom of the grave. The headstone of Fielding Lowe that the descendant was holding in that picture in McDonald's book was Fieldings. BUT, it did not come from off the cairn. It had fallen over on the ground from his burial place beside the cairn, and someone years ago placed it on top of it. That is where the confusion began. Everyone thinks that cairn of stone is his grave, but it is not. He owned many hundreds of acres of land on what is now Hickory Creek, Rock Creek, Stinking Creek, Lowe Branch (which got its name from him) and also Louse Creek. Louse Creek was originally named Lowe's Creek, but since Fielding pronounced his name "Lough", instead of "Low", like we do now, the name of the area got corrupted over the years into Louse Creek.
