• Notes

  Chancery Case Maryland State Archives 1842/0/14 Accession #40,200-2631-1/3 states that Joshua Low died and left his property called Lawson's Pleasant Hills to his son Jesse Low. Jesse died in 1815 intestate so the property had to be divided among his heirs, namely Joshua Low, Rachael Low, Anna Low, Catherine Low, John Y. Low, Jesse Low, Aquilla Low, Nicholas Low, and Henry Low. It further stated that Catherine aged 16 in 1815, married John Walker, Rachael age 19 in 1815 married George Gist, Ann married William Mansperger before 1815 but is now deceased and had no issue. John was under 14 in 1815 and Henry Ruhl was appointed his guardian . (Vital records York County show John Y. Low married Margaret Matthews 13 June 1822 but died before his mother Elizabeth leaving three children Jesse, Joshua and Elizabeth Ann) Henry Low under age 14 in 1815 Joseph Hendrix named as his guardian. Jesse Low under 14 in 1815 Henry Ruhl named as his guardian. Nicholas Low under 14 in 1815 Joseph Hendrix named as his guardian. Case states that Nicholas married Elizabeth Ann Hendrix and moved to Lagrange County Indiana. Aquilla under 14 in 1815 Joseph Hendrix named as guardian. Joshua Low was the oldest s/o Jesse Low and Elizabeth Yost. He died before his mother (who died as stated in case February last, and as the date of the case was Jan 14, 1842, it is assumed she died February 1841). He died leaving three children named Sarah A. wife of James A .Standiford, Harriet wife of Henry Eichelberger, and Lucinda, infant. Elizabeth widow of Joshua remarried one Thomas Coe. She took her dower rights. —— The Particular Assessment Lists for Baltimore and Carroll Counties,Maryland. transcribed by Robert Barnes. Willow Bend Books, Westminster, Maryland. 1986.
