Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Idle Hour in Life's Pilgrimage
William Lowe and Robert Lowe, of England, first settled in Virginia. Robert never married and died there, reputed quite wealthy. This is tradition. William Lowe was in the United States Army under Gov. St. Clair and was in St. Clair's defeat at Miami, Ohio. Afterwards settled in Pendleton County, Kentucky, three miles southwest of Morgan Station, ten miles south of Falmouth, on the K. C. R. R., and married Nancy Jones, daughter of Joshua Jones, of Harrison County. She had three brothers, Louis, Evan and John Jones. (I have long intended looking up this Jones family.) William and Nancy had ten children; raised eight, to-wit: Squire, Jerry, Louis, Moses, Robert, Nancy, Marksberry and Elizabeth, all of whom I remember well.
Moses Lowe was married to Nancy Watson Porter in 1824 in Pendleton County and raised ten children. Moses Lowe, like his father, was a farmer. He was for years a justice of the county court. Died in 1857.
Robert Porter was born in Pennsylvania in 1750 and settled in Kentucky. Died in 1826 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. He was a soldier in the Army of the Revolution for seven years, with Washington. He married Elizabeth Watson and had seven children, to-wit: John, Thomas, Watson, Andrew and William, Margaret and Elizabeth.
