I am interested in a branch of the Low's/Lowe's who died out in New Brunsick, NJ.

The name Low and Lowe were used interchangably in that area.

In the 1840 census for North Brunswick, NJ (p. 14), Elizabeth Low, 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 15-20; 1 female 20-30; 1 female 40-50; one person employed in ‘manufactures and trades’.

In the 1850 census for North Brunswick (page 98 - dwelling house 93, 3 families in this structure), Elizabeth Lew [Low] age 55, born in NJ; James M Lew age 20, paper stainer, born in NJ; Ann Haywood age 78, born in NJ.

U.S. Federal Census 1860 Mortality Schedules for New Brunswick, James Low, age 30, died December 1860, consumption lasting 4 years, paper stainer. James Low Jr. age 5 months, died February 1860, inflamation on lungs, 3 weeks

Caroline [Catherine] Breese married a James B. Law [Low] in New Brunswick on July 2, 1854 - registered in North Brunswick.

Has anyone ever come across them?

Thanks in advance,

Harry
