The spelling of the surname in England was LowE. However, many mispronounced the name with a long O (as in allow). So upon arrival in the United States, Richard allowed the change to drop the E.

The mispronunciation continued - thus many of the boys born to Richard and Eliza (Mines) returned to the original spelling - adding back the E.

The Lowe's were farmers in England.
