[104] There is an
incident in regard to the civil jurisdiction of the vicinity of Lowell.
It has been under the jurisdiction of seven county authorities, viz: The
county of Augusta included Lowell from 1745 till 1770. Then Bottetourt
county included Lowell till 1772. Fincastle county included Lowell till
1776. Fincastle county was abolished and its territory divided into three
counties, viz: Montgomery, Washington and Kentucky. The county of Kentucky
included the present state of Kentucky. In 1780 Greenbrier county was organized,
which included Lowell. In 1799 Monroe county included Lowell. In 1863 West
Virginia included Lowell and in 1872 Summers county included Lowell. So
we see that Lowell, Summers county, West Virginia, has been in Augusta,
Bottetourt, Fincastle, Montgomery, Greenbrier, Monroe and Summers counties
and two states, viz: Virginia and West Virginia.
