Ann Nancy Lowe

http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/u/t/Pamela-Butler/GENE...:

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 Revoluntionary 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 of the family to migrate south from Virginia.

The Lowes may have been the first of the family to migrate south from Virginia. Daniel Lowe and Mary Lowe were 1st or second cousins. Daniel was a son of John Lowe, born 1736 in Halifax County, North Caroline or possibly Maryland or Bedford County, Virginia, died 1820 in Washington County, Georgia, married Nancy Butler abt 1755, probably in Virginia. Tradition says Nancy was a daughter of Major James Butler, son of William Butler, of the prominent South carolina Butlers. This tradition is widespread, but the information is wrong, Nancy "Ann" Butler was the daughter of Edmund Butler and Frances Cooke.

John Lowe served as a private soldier in the Revolution in GA, under Col. Elijah Clark, and received a bounty land grant for his services. (See DAR Application 373964.) .

"Virginia Families Along the James River", pg 63. James Cock, John Butler & James Low were awarded 1684 acres in Charles City County April 21, 1690 pg 71. Two of the people they brought over were Thomas Butler & Chas. MacKartree. Was this the same Chas. MaKartree that was the Captain of the "MacKartree" vessell that the Butler Brothers owned & brought from Ireland several times?

IF our John Lowe was born in Pasquotank or Chowan NC, why would he leave NC and go to VA to be married in 1755 and live there at least until first son was born? Unless he was the John Low(e) who served under Capt. Hog and James Dunlap and met Nancy Butler when in service, which as I recall was 1755-1757. This could be the reason why he left NC, to enlist in the army in VA. OR he was actually born in MD or VA and lived there until he and Nancy left for NC after son Wm's birth.

Two Nancy Butlers

GEDCOM Source

One Nancy Butler, born to Edmund E. Buter married John Low.
"Another" Nancy Butler was born September 27, 1765 in Edgefield, South Carolina. She died July 28, 1854 in South Carolina. She 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. Nancy Butler, daughter of James 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.
