Page "Isaac Low" Paragraph 3

Opposed to armed conflict with the British Crown, Low quit the patriot cause after the Declaration of Independence was announced in 1776 and relocated to New Jersey, where he was imprisoned on suspicion of treason by the New Jersey Convention.

He was eventually released after George Washington intervened, but after collaboration with the British occupation forces in New York, his property was confiscated after the New York assembly passed a motion of attainder in 1779.

Low emigrated to England four years later, where he died on July 25, 1791 on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.

Although a family tradition holds that his wife joined him in England, probate records hold that she died in Albany in 1802.
