===American Revolutionary War===
Opposed to armed conflict with the British Crown, Low quit the Patriot cause after the [[United States Declaration of Independence|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. He later collaborated with British occupation forces in New York, and his property was confiscated after the New York assembly passed a motion of attainder in 1779. Four years later, Low emigrated to England where he died in 1791.<ref name="Appleton"/>
