From John Gott's book of Fauquier marriage records: James Fewell & Mary Lowe 29 Dec 1794; bondsman, daughter of John & Judith. Alcock's book, "Fauquier Families,1759-1799" spells her name as Low in the marriage bond with James Fewell. She is
described as daughter of John and Judith Low, and bondsman was William Robinson. Alcock's book has James Fewell first appearing in the Fauquier tax list in 1792, when the tax was paid by James Mays. In 1796, his tax was paid by William Horner.
