     Pvt JOHN LOWE Jr Pamela Butler evidence:

"Nancy Butler married Lt. John Lowe, they moved to North Carolina, then South Carolina and finally to Georgia where John received a land grant for serving in the Revolutionary War. Many of the family remain in the South, including Texas. This family had many members in politics in Georgia and also prominent Judges, Attorneys and Doctors, etc. It appears the Lowes were well loved by the rest of the family as many used the middle name of Lowe & frequently the first name of Nancy. The Lowes may have been the first ones in the family to migrate south from Virginia."

Also:

"John was a Pvt. in Artillery under Elijah Clark during the war. Later information gives his rank as a Lieutenant.
[There is another John Lowe, a lt., who applied for pension, from Randolph Co, NC. He is not ours.]

John Lowe was a Pvt. and used the source of, "The Revolutionary services of John Lowe are on file in the office of Secretary of State of the State of Georgia. Examined, certified copy of records on file in Secretary of State's office, showing that John Lowe received 287 1/2 acres of land as Bounty for Revolutionary services. Ruth M. Griswold Pealor, Genealogist, SSDAR." See National #56068. This paper was verified for Mrs. Mary Ida Yarborough by National #61684.

Under application, "Ancestor's Services", it says, "State of Georgia, Wilkes County,- This is to certify that John Lowe hath steadfastly done his duty from the time of passing an Act at Augusta, to wit, on the 20th of August 1781 until the total expulsion of the British from this state: and is therefor under the said Act, entitled to a Bounty of two hundred and fifty acres of good land free from taxes for ten years. Given under my hand at Savannah this day of February 1784. Elijah Clark, Colonel, By his order, H. Freeman".

"Georgia. These are to certify, that John Lowe is entitled to two hundred and fifty acres of land as a Bounty, agrreable to an Act, and Resolve of the General Assembly, passed at Augusta the 20th of August 1781 as per certificate of Elijah Clark. Given under my hand at Savannah the 26th day of March in the year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty Four.

J. Houston"

The above is a copy of certified papers from Phillip Cook, Secretary of State of Georgia, March 11, 1913." "

Also:

"Military: August 20, 1781, Wilkes CO., Georgia. Pvt. in Rev. War served until the end of the war. See notes
Misc.: June 09, 1784, Obtained 287 acres land grant in Washington Co., Georgia for Rev. War services. (Source: Survey 21, Warrant 1558, page 7.)"

Also:

"She [NANCY ANN BUTLER] married JOHN LOWE, JR., PVT. (Source: DAR, F 877, 543, pp 40-48.) in Virginia."

Also:

"John Lowe also received a land grant in Georgia for military service. He and Nancy moved to Georgia possibly during hte war or shortly thereafter."

Also:

"According to Ray Palmer of Hinds County, Mississippi, Lt. John Lowe lost his first wife, Nancy and in his old age married a second time and had one child, Aaron Lowe who had a son Aaron Lowe, Jr. of Hawkinsville, Georgia. Dr. Ebenezer Warren, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Atlanta and Macon, Georgia was a grandson of Aaron Lowe. You may know that Dr. L. B. Warren, an eloquent Baptist preacher, now at Crescent, Georgia (1970s), is his son. All of this information was furnished by Ray Palmer and from his memory August 10, 1978."

Webb:

"John Lowe was among a group of 'Regulators' in Alamance, Guilford and Randolph counties N C who appealed the tax levy to the Colonial Assembly. In May 1771 Gov. Tyron ordered these men fired upon. To escape being taken prisoner they fled N C. Two sets of brothers were associated with these Regulators: William and John Butler and John and William Lowe, our ancestors. Some became political rebels and some religious rebels." [I believe this refers to John's father John Lowe.]

Webb 1993: "This information compiled by: Elaine Perkins, 15800 Hamilton Pool, Austin, TX 78738. 1992. Katherine Harsell Rich, A SILVER SPOON, 1756-1835, Presented to Shreve Memorial Library 30 Jan 1986, Shreveport, LA. Call # Gen. 929.22. Photocopy in poss Maurine De Arman Webb."

The Family Group Record evidence gives his wife's name as Ann or Nancy Butler.

I also have two IGI Records for John LOWE marrying Nancy BUTLER, resp BETLER, in 1771, resp 1755, both in Upson, GA.

The notes for each child of John and Nancy Ann contain this:
"This information compiled by: Elaine Perkins [address]. 1992. Dixie Hammond, in SOUTHERN RELATIVES, Vol. 11, Atlanta Memorial Library, GA. Photocopy in poss Maurine De Arman Webb. ... SOUTHERN RELATIVES, VOl. 11, Burke Co., GA. 1769-1860..."

JOHN was born at Halifax, North Carolina, USA, in 1736.^5,2 He married NANCY ANN BUTLER at Virginia, USA, in 1755. The familysearch evidence gives 1769 as date, too late, in Halifax Co., NC.
Pamela Butler gives VA..^2,3,4 JOHN served in the military at Wilkes, Georgia, USA, on 20 August 1781.⁴ JOHN applied for bounty land at Washington, Georgia, USA, on 9 June 1784.⁴ JOHN died in 1820 at Washington, Georgia, USA. Webb's evidence gives the place as Washington Co. GA. The FamilySearch sheet gives Sparta, Hancock Co, GA (but burial in Washington Co, GA..^6,2,3 His body was interred in 1820 at Washington, Georgia, USA.²

     NANCY ANN BUTLER Webb 1993, in addition to the info listed under husband JOHN LOWE:

"RESEARCHER: Doris Ellis, Box 96, Yale, OK 74085 in 1972. I have tried to contact her several times with no luck. She is related to Mary Ann Gililland, sister to our John. I have a copy of a letter that she wrote to Mrs. Roy Castner, Box 134, Kirtland, N M listing children and their spouses, of William Lowe and Margaret Fair found in Franklin, Simpson Co., KY. Marriage of John Gililland and Agnes Johnson Lowe is found in Logan Co., KY records. She has the Revolutionary War Pension Appl from Surrey Co., N C for William Lowe. He moved from Surrey to Pendleton dist, N C to Warren Co., KY which became Simpson Co. in 1819."

Pamela Butler evidence:

"... William Lowe (son of Nancy Butler and John Lowe) m margaret Farr, then had a son, Barnabas Farr Lowe in Saluda River, SC. Barnabus married February 3, 1806 in Logan Co., Kentucky a Margaret Carlock/Carelock, Margaret died in 1840 in Jasper, Texas. Barnabus married 2) Pamela Childers on February 2, 1843 in Nacogdoches Co., Texas. ..."

CAUTION: (from Pamela Butler evidence), attributed to Pamela Hazelett-Burleson:

""Another" Nancy Butler was born September 27, 1765 in Edgefield, South Carolina. This Nancy Butler died July 28, 1854 in South Carolina. This Nancy Butler was the daughter of Major James Butler (b. abt 1737, d October 7, 1781 in Mount Willing, Near Clouds Creek, Edgefield Co., SC) and Mary Elizabeth Simpson. Died July 28, 1854 in South Carolina. This family all lived in Edgefield County, South Carolina. "This" Nancy Butler also had a brother named William; Capt. William Butler b December 17, 1758 in Prince William Co., Va. And died November 15, 1821 in Edgefield County, SC.

This family from South Carolina was very prominent in military and politics etc., in South Carolina. They are directly related to Jane Butler who married Augustine Washington, father of George Washington.

"Two Nancys" having "two brothers named William" and both brothers dying in Edgefield County, South Carolina has caused me a lot of time and grief. "This" Nancy from South Carolina married Elisha Brooks, Lt. abt 1787. He was born April 16, 1761 and died November 29, 1847. They had the following children: William Butler Brooks, John Wesley Borrks and Edna Brooks.

The reason that I'm going into details is because in numberous family charts this Nancy Butler of South Carolina ends up married to John Lowe (the one married to "our" Nancy) and it makes a mess of the family tree."

Further CAUTION from researcher Betty Dade 2 Jun 2004:

"you mention "Maj. James Butler" and his son, "Capt. William Butler" (migrated to Edgefield Co., SC from Loudoun), both of whom are my direct ancestors, but James Butler was "Captain" and his son William was "Maj. General." In same paragraph (I think!), you (or someone else) mention this "Maj." James Butler is directly related to the family of George Washington and that George's mother was Jane [Butler] Washington (m. to Augustine); my Capt. James Butler is not related to the Washington family and Jane [Butler] Washington is not the mother of George Washington--Augustine's second wife ... Mary [Ball] was the mother of George Washington." NANCY was born at Goochland, Virginia, USA, in 1738. The Edmund-Frances Butler evidence lists two Ann or Nancy Butlers with different birthplaces and resp birthdates of 1738 and <1753. See text.

One source lists birth place as Halifax Co, NC.

I am following Pamela Butler's evidence principally here..^4,5,6,2,3 She married Pvt JOHN LOWE Jr at Virginia, USA, in 1755. The familysearch evidence gives 1769 as date, too late, in Halifax Co., NC.
Pamela Butler gives VA..^5,2,3 She moved circa 1757 at Surry, North Carolina, USA.³ NANCY died circa 1783 at ?GA.³

     Dorothea Lowe FamilySearch has a family record sheet for David HEFFINGTON - Dorothea LOWE with details about David and listing 8 children: Thomas, (girl), Henry, Stephen Decatur, Barnabus, William, Levina, and John. Dorothea was born at South Carolina, USA, on 14 February 1780. FamilySearch sheet gives birthplace as Surry Co, NC.^1,2 She married David Heffington at Warren, Kentucky, USA, circa 1802. The marriage date and place are from the FamilySearch sheet only..^3,2 Dorothea died on 25 April 1851 at Arkansas, USA, at age 71. FamilySearch sheet gives: Bef 1820, AR, but I think the compiler means to list Aft 1820, AR since he lists the last-born child b 1820..^1,2

     Charity Lowe "Charity was married to her cousin by her father 1 Mar 1802, Simpson Co., KY"

From John-Agnes family group sheet: "Charity Lowe Gilleland m. James Butler 3 Mar 1802" (Simpson, or Logan, or Warren Co., KY). Charity was born at KY or NC or SC on 13 January 1782.

     Nancy Greer Lowe Problem: Nielson gives her marriage to Jacob Gibson, but Webb gives her sister Margaret's marriage to Jacob Gibson. If Nancy died at the same time as her marriage, as Nielson implies, then perhaps Jacob did marry both sisters. Nancy was born on 4 October 1798. Nancy died in November 1827 at age 29.¹ She married Jacob Gibson in November 1827.¹
