| Description |
English: PH Coll 1197.17 John N. Low, born Apr 17, 1820 in Ohio, died Feb. 17, 1888 in Snohomish County. Married Lydia Colburn Low. His family were in the first party of Seattle pioneers, landing on the point which John Low later named Alki. In 1851 Low, David Denny (1832-1903) and Leander (Lee) Terry (1818-1862) arrived and camped at a point later called Duwamish Head. By canoe and on foot, they explored the shoreline of Elliott Bay and the Duwamish River looking for the best land on which to settle. On Sept. 28, David Denny, John Low, and Lee Terry paddled west along the shoreline until they reached Alki Point, which they decided offered the best site for a future community. John Low and Lee Terry selected their homesteads. On Nov. 13, 1851, Low returned to Alki aboard the Schooner Exact with the Boren, Bell, Denny and Low families, about 22 settlers.
