Low family
It was a military background. Some information is in https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433082347174&view=1up&seq=438 .
A newspaper extract gives "LOW.—During April, in Canada, Nathaniel Low, Esq., of Lowville, late of H.M. 40th Regiment, served at Waterloo, and at the occupation of Paris by the Allies, grandson of the late Right Hon. Richard Hamilton, Viscount Boyne, and uncle of Hamilton Lowe, Esq., of H.M. Customs, in this city." That is an obit in The Sydney Morning Herald during 1875. So that should be the brother of John Handcock Low, "Colonel N. Low" of the Army. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:21, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
