Lowe was High Constable of Cook Co., Ill., in 1839, for three years; first asst. eng.
of the Chicago Fire Department. In 1840 he was captain of the local military com-
pany. In 1842, as sheriff, he sold the first and, I think, only black man, Edwin
HEATHCOCK, at public sale for the munificent sum of 25 cents to M. D. OGDEN. (Source:

He was the eldest son of Dr. Jonathan WHITNEY, of Cayuga. Possessed of a
most genial temperament, which attached to him all who were brought within his
influence, active in business, and with a capacity to take a prominent place in any of
the growing cities of New York, he was nevertheless content to pass a long life of
humble usefulness in the village of his birth, enjoying the independence of such posi-
tion and happy in the opportunities which it afforded. Through most of his mature
life he was a justice of the peace of his town, the counselor and advisor of the com-
munity in matter of business, and the kind friend to whom all looked for sympathy
and assistance in time of affliction or pecuniary disaster. In his temperance, cheer-
fulness, industry and benevolence he blessed his own life and the lives of all about
him. Few men in Cayuga Co. were so well known as he. A Rochester paper in a
lengthy obituary says: "It is doubtful if there survives him any one born within the
country who has attained a more advanced age and certainly no one more respected
through a long life in the community in which he lived." He d. Mar., 1891; res.

My interest is by genealogy and by marriage, twice. Charles Henry Whitney (born NY 1824, #2348 in Frederick Clifton Pierce's 1895 book) married Elizabeth Lowe, whose sister Roxana is the mother of my step-grandmother Evalyn Warner Henderson.
