James and Melissa Lowe-James Jr-moved to Texas. Esther has a lot of information on that family.James Sr died in Wake Co and his land was divided between his children.Mary was a second wife. His first wife was Patsy Almond.There was a Green Ferrell who was connected to this family (signed the marriage bond for James Jr and Melissa. Mary was living next door-as best as I can remember in the 1880 Wake Co Census to Green Ferrell's family-I think his wife may have been another of daugher of Mary's.From what I am finding out there is a very good chance -more like extremely good chand-that Mary was Mary Halliburton (H. Burton. as there is a marriage bond Wake Co 1820s for a Mary H Burton and a Archibald York (as least I'm remembering Archibald-I'm doing this off the top of my head) and Wm H Burton or Halliburton named a daughter Mary Lowe in his will-actually may be Polley-plus a daugher Penny Lowe- Penney or Penelope was the wife of William Cannady Lowe who was James Lowe Sr's son by his first wife. Please contact me directly as I have quite a bit of this in documents from state archives in the computer and will forward them to you.

Look forward to hearing from you-by the way I still live in the just about the same area where they all lived. I'm a descend of James Lowe, Sr's son, Edmund Lowe.
