I have recently completed and am awaiting publication (by Frederic Beil of Savannah) of a 600 page biography of the Andrew Low family of Savannah, Georgia and Kincardine, Scotland, and Liverpool, England. The biography basically starts when Andrew Low, Sr arrived in Savannah in 1800, and founded the Andrew Low Company, a trading company, later specialising in cotton factorage. However, during the 1750's up to the Revolutionary War several other Lowe records exist as Land Grants in Darien, Georgia. There is no record of why Andrew Low chose to migrate to Georgia and I am trying to find out whether in fact, the first Lowe's who arrived in the Abacos after the Revolutionary war, settling in the Loyalist Keys, might have been amongst those early Georgia Lowe's? There are several other extended family names of Loyalist settlers who fled Georgia after the war, Cowper's who settled in Jamaica, Robert Mackay, who was a trader plying between the bahamas and savannah.
I am planning a trip to the Bahamas for one week from September 10th to September 17th and would be most grateful to know if any Lowe's currently living in the Abaco and outlying cays might have any information that could assist me in ascertaining if there is any connection between the Bahamian Lowe's and the Georgia 18th century Lowe's. By the 19th century the 'e' had been dropped.
I hope to har from someone. Thanks.
