THE SCOTT COUNTY TENNESSEE LOW OR LOWE GENERATION

Old Grand Michel1 Lowe (1771-1859.
Compiled By Henry C Ward.
FOLKLORE:  Banished from his tribe who lived in the Smokey Mountains,
Cherokee Smokey and his Squaw settled in Tennessee on the waters of Smokey
Creek and New River.  About 1796 Grand Michel1 Low(1771-1859) came to
Smokey Creek with a land grant from North Carolina,  claiming the land from
New River up Smokey Creek on both sides,  to the tops of the mountains to
the head of Smokey Creek.  Grand Michel1 was Scotch-Irish,  the Scotch-Irish
show up in many of his descendents which often leads to disputes, fights and
lawsuits;  His descendents were involved in many lawsuits, trying to settle who
owned what, leaving little profit when the timber, coal and land was sold;
However there is a strong love bond among many of his descendents.

After Grand Michel1 arrived, Cherokee Smokey  became jealous over his squaw
and his right to the land, which resulted in a death battle between them;
According to tradition Grand Michel1 while fishing saw the Indian prowling
armed with his bow and arrow attempting to kill him, with one shot from his
Hog Rifle Michel shot the Indian dead.  This place to this day is called the
Indian Hole on Smokey Crk.  Afterwards the settlers took care of the Squaw
woman until she died;  She had several half breed children who intermarried
with the settlers children.  It is very hard to prove the Squaw woman as an
ancestor, because the Indian had no rights as a citizen, therefore it was kept a
secret.  Many people of New River are direct descendents to the Squaw woman
and have no proof.

According to a cemetery book of Scott County Grand Michel1 Low was from
Germany.  Grand Michel1 was good at hunting, especially bears, which were
plentiful on Smokey Creek, once he crawled in a dark cave and was punching
about with a stick when a bear tried to get out over him, they became stuck in
the cave and by the time Grand Michel backed out he was clawed very bad,
scarred for the rest of his life.

According to folklore Grand Michel1 was father of some of the squaw woman's
children.  Michel and his first wife Betsy Bordner came from Pennsylvania
to North Carolina, then to Smokey Creek. Grand Michel1 is buried in Low
Cemetery on Smokey Creek.

FOLKLORE; Old Philip Seiber(1812-1862)  a Confederate Sympathizer and slave
owner who lived at Frost Bottom at the start of the Civil War, sent a list of
names of Union Sympathizers to the Confederates at Clinton;  Confederate troops
came to the Frost Bottom Area gathering up large numbers of men taking them to
Knoxville as prisoners of war;  They were released by joining the Confederate
Army;  At first chance most fled to Kentucky and joined the Union Army.
Soon afterwards Old Philip Seiber stepped out on his porch and was killed by
sniper gunfire.  The Duncans and Lows were blamed for the ambush.  Later Wilson
Duncan age 12, a Union Pilot, guiding a band of men north to Kentucky was
ambushed and killed;  This started Guerrilla warfare which spread all through the
mountains killing soldiers and civilians.

where Fred Ward now lives (1990). The store was on the ground floor.

In 1900, Lacy Levi wrote his will bequeathing his money and property to
his seven children, Columbus, Samantha Jane, Sarah, Martha, Marlena,
and Elizabeth Adkins. Accordiing to the provisions of the will, each child
was to receive one thousand dollars or the equivalent in real estate. The

About 1850; During the first days of court at Huntsville TN  the jug was passed
in the court room, before the end of the day the Judge was most often
intoxicated.
About 1850;  It was believed to be the Honorable Judge E. Alexander holding
his first day of court in Huntsville, Tn., one of the Lowes from Smokey who had
too much dram to drink, rode around the court yard on a horse yelling "Im a
studhorse'' Im a stud horse ketch me if you can"  The Sheriff caught him, but
since it was a new town with no jail and the first day of court,  they had no
place to keep him, they decided to lay him on the ground until he sobered up an
turn a wagon bed upside down on top of him;  While awaiting his turn in court a
heavy rainstorm came an beat upon Lowe;  When he was brought before the
court he was shivering cold and repentent, more sober than the judge(Lowe folklore).

Information was cross checked from all available material, some were writings of:
Walter and Pearl Cross Owens, Oneida.  Lowe history, Clifford Burress of
Nicks Crk.   Historian Oscar Phillips. Historian Barbara Blankenship.
Historian Ester Sharp Sanderson.
