Early records from Bristol, Ontario County, New York, show that on April 1, 1800, Anthony Low was elected Path master and fence viewer. There is a land record there from June 26, 1801 showing land purchase (at an unknown prior date) in Bristol, Ontario Co., NY with George Codding, esq, William Gooding, Daniel Burt, James Codding, Nathaniel Fisher, John Codding, George M Crumb, and George Codding Jr partitioned. From 1801-1804 and in 1807, Anthony Low was elected pound master there. Early church records show that he donated the land for the Congregational Church there as well as purchasing family pews to help pay for the construction of the building.
In 1818, the family moved to Granger, Medina Co., Ohio.

JUSTICE COURT HELD IN GRANGER
The first case to come before the Justice of the Peace was between Seymour W.Green and Anthony Low. Mr. Green's cow had lost the bell from her neck. Several months later, Mr .Low found a cow bell. Green thought it was his, but Low thought this was doubtful. "Suit was brought, parties appeared, statements without anger were made." (Northrop, p. 69.) The decision of the justice was that Green should get the bell, but that he should have to pay the court costs.
