I haven't found a connection yet, but the biography of Thaddeus Lowe:
From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties" (Missouri), Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1888.
************************************************************
Thaddeus A. Lowe, attorney-at-law, Union, Mo., was born in Northumberland County, Penn., November 24, 1835.His father, Jesse Lowe, was also a native of that county, and his mother, Rachel (Plotts) Lowe,
was a native of New Jersey.Her father, John Plotts, served in the Revolutionary army.

Thus far I haven't found any other confirmation that Plotts is Rachel's last name - but it seems like there should be something.
