On the back of original photo: Written by Margaret P. Saul - widow of Ralph Saul, son of Eliza Low Saul. Picture taken in 1900. This is the family of George Low. The only one I really know is Nellie so that's how I know it's her family. Her mother was a half sister of George Carter. Her father a brother of Eliza Saul. The George Lowe family was 3 boys and one girl. Two of the boys had pinapple plantations in Hawaii. They got coolyes from China to work for them. One of the boys died from colera while on a ship to or from China. When I came into the family I think Nellie and Jim, maybe his mother were the only ones left in the family. They were living on a farm in Missouri. Jim had been employed by the railroad. |

Nellie Buckholz, daughter of George Lowe and Elizabeth Carter, handed down the story that
our Lowe ancestors in Scotland were "Orangemen" - Protestants, at least some of them were.
Nellie told about the big Sunday fights between the Orangemen and the Greenmen (Catholics), so on
St. Patricks Day she always wore some orange.

If you have come to my website via Ancestry: Several years ago the genealogy giant Ancestry absorbed the genealogy websites of Rootsweb along with personal databases posted at Rootsweb's WorldConnect Project that included a large database of my own family information. I started using Rootsweb in 2000 and they gave us the capability to add, remove, and update our information at anytime and I used these options frequently to post correct and current data. Presently (2006) I am told by Ancestry that we cannot maintain our own databases, we cannot even remove them. If you find information at Ancestry with my name attached please search my website for current information, the databases posted at Ancestry contain inaccurate information. - Karen Rowe. |
