Johann David Lau was a son of Conrad Lau, b. 1697 in Alsace and wife Maria Barbara Frey, b in Alsace.Conrad & wife immigrated to PA in 1732 with his brother Christian & wife Anna Cleophe Frey, sister of Maria Barbara.(Brothers married sisters).Christian and family remained in PA.Conrad & family moved to NC about 1755.
I THINK I am descended from a son of Johann David,Samuel Lau/Low, b. 1755.I KNOW I am descended from Elizabeth LOW who was born in 1790 in Orange Co. NC.Married Robert Brinkley, b. 1791 in Orange Co, NC.Married December 29, 1810 in Orange Co.
Sometime in the early 1800s, they moved to Bedford County, TN.Also in Bedford Co were David LOW & wife Eleanor Robertson.I THINK that David Low was a brother of my ancestor, Elizabeth Low Brinkley.
