Jennie Niles
Jennie Niles was born around 1841 in Canada to Daniel and Phebe Niles. Her father was an expressman who owned $7,000 of real estate and $4,000 of personal property by 1860. The family immigrated to America sometime before 1860 and settled in Dover, New Hampshire. She married Nathaniel Low in the early 1860s, and they had at least two children: Lillie, born around 1869; and Etta, born around 1870. Her husband served in the Civil War from 1862 until 1866.
 
They settled in Memphis, Tennessee, after the war, and her husband worked as a merchant. They moved to New Hampton, New Hampshire, in the 1870s. Her husband died there on May 1, 1890. She applied for a widow’s pension in November 1890 but never received one. She died sometime after 1890.
