was born Jan 4 1822 Roane Co TN Amanda married Samuel Donald
Warren Low April

1842 Roane Co TN.
(Matlock, Amanda W to Samuel D W Low 4-23-1842 (4-28-1842) [Ro],
"Early
East TN Marriages" by Sistler, groom pg 233.)
Amanda died Dec 23 1891. Samuel died Feb 2 1886.
Samuel D. Low, youngest child of Abram and
Mary Martin Low, known as "Gen. Low," the title
having been given him at the Annual "Musters," in
which he was a Commanding Officer, and his
wife, Amanda Matlock Low, succeeded to the ancestral homestead
after the deaths of Abram Low
and his wife, and lived there
until after the death of the
former - about 1886 - after which
the widow and her youngest son, Asa Low, removed to Texas and joined the four older who had
preceded them. None of the descendants of Gen. S. D. W. Low and wife now live in this
community, but
a few of the descendants of the other children of Abram and Mary
Martin Low
reside here. The late Mr. W. C.
Hackney was a descendant, and his daughter, Mrs. Charlie
Boring,
and her children, are descendants of Abram
Low's daughter, Rebecca Low, who married
Whitehall Craig. Mr. W. A. Doughty, a former resident, but now
of Knoxville, from whom the
land for the location of Farragut
School was purchased, is also a descendant of Rebecca Low
Craig and Whitehall Craig.
