Individual Details

Deacon Thomas Low likely arrived in Massachusetts with his father before 1641, when his father is recorded as being a resident of Chebacco, Ipswich, now Essex. He was the son of Thomas Lowe Sr., and his first wife Margaret Todd. He served in King Philip's war, and had a grant of land in Narragansett Township No. 1, now Buxton, Me., for service. Thomas Low married Martha Boreman July 4, 1660 in Ipswich, Essex Co., MA. His will dated June 17, 1708, was proved May 5, 1712 (Essex Probate 17244).
