The Lowe family emigrated from England in 1855. They sailed on the William Stetson and arrived in New York on 27 May 1855. They appear living in Illinois in the 1860 Census. Agnes was born in Illinois. The first documentation to place them in Utah is the birth of a child in August 1862. So they came to Utah sometime between 1860 and 1862. Further research is needed to narrow the year of their travel. In some sources their surname is spelled "Low." Her surname at death was Morrison.
