Hi Cindy,
I'm assuming that you were sending this to me. YES! My LOWE'S were from
Grenville, Argentuil County, PQ. There are also indicators they lived in La
Chute and Arundel, PQ. There's an unconfirmed Ottawa, Ontario, entry too. The
U.S. entries include WISCONSIN, MICHIGAN, and MINNESOTA. The progenitor was
Martin LOWE. His wife was named Ellen or Eleanor (Smith or Tracy). My
great-great-grandmother was Maria Lowe. It appears that IN the earliest line
of Lowe's there was a Hanna Lowe (Outram). I thought most of the births were
actually in Ireland, but the entries say Canada.
The unconfirmed birth order was:
Rev. George Austin Lowe b: Canada Year: 1792
James Lowe b: Canada 1794
Alice Lowe (Belt) b: Canada 1796
Mary Lowe (McBinnon) b: Canada 1798
Martin Lowe (Jr?) b: Canada 1800
Betsy Lowe (Sugars) b: Canada 1802
Jane Lowe b: Canada 1805
Ralph Lowe b: Canada 1808
Catherine Lowe (McMahon) b: Canada 1810
Maria Lowe (Shannon) b: Canada 1814-15 (My lineage)

Cindy, this is only tentative at this time, but I took it from records I
recently located. They were compiled in the late 1800s by a woman seeking
membership in the DAR. From what I have gleaned from other records in the
collection, things are quite accurate.
The records indicate my Lowe lineage left from "Stockton on Tees,"
Ireland or Scotland. I hope this helps.
I am beating the bushes in Michigan trying to locate a family surnamed
BELT and WEBER ( Bruce Weber). I'm still actively working to confirm the
rest of the entries. Things are going rather slowly on them. If I can be of
further assistance please let me know. I'll gladly exchange information with
anyone who may be related to my lineage.
Sincerely,
