Notes for John Low:

Notes
Following up on the comments, the evidence from the Ipswich records is circumstantially strong that Sarah (Thorndike) Low died some time after the birth of Margaret and that John Low married 2nd wife Dorcas before 1674. I found no records to indicate Dorcas' maiden name.
Thomas Low's will (Probate Records of Essex County, Vol III, Pp. 175-177, PB-17242), written April 30, 1677 and probated November 6th of that year, gave five pounds to each of his four firstborn grandchildren: Thomas Low, Margaret Davison, Sarah Low, and Sarah Safford. The other three being accounted for, we need to make room for a child Sarah Low here.
