11\ebitation

To

~lJgat mantiolpb Dow who died Portland, Me., 1909, the Pioneer of Dow Gen­ealogy, whose letters of inquiry, from 1881 to 1908, amounted high into the thousands, whose life ambition was to publish this volume, who died without knowing that such was possible.

And to

tl)etbett '15eeman iOo\U of "\¥ oburn, Mass., who gave freely every item collected painstakingly in nearly forty years, a great Genealogical collection.

The Author, who has built upon their foundation, offers a grateful dedication.

WHILE many genealogical writers have keys of their own for ready identification of each individual named in their work, there is an orthodox (say, rather, time-honored) system in

general use, alone meeting the approval of librarians and cataloguers. If space is of little importance and if a family be not very large, it works well; but in an unhomogeneous collection of over 30,000 names, derived from at least a dozen unrelated ancestors, it is cumbersome, even am­biguous. It fails to show the degree of relationship between any two- in­dividuals. If each person if:1 numbered. the task must be done while the Book is a closed document (else any addition would require renumber­ing every subsequent person). If each traced individual is designated as (say) Robert 11, John 10, James 9, etc., the unnecessary repetition alone would consume over 75 pages of this Book. Moreover, an index is needed every moment by the author as his work progresses year after year. Such index must be a catalogue of full data needful to identify any new name. It must be used in abbreviated form for the publish­ed Book. To type and check an index of 30,000 names is a half year's labor.

Therefore we have adopted a key, just beginning to be used in pub-"' lished works, which, so far as we know, was invented for his own con-

venience by Herbert B. Dow and which is the simplest, clearest ever devised. This key must be learned, each reader giving almost sixty seconds to it, else this Book will be unreadable. To each immigrant Dow is given a letter, in order of date of arrival. We omit Matthew Doue of Amesbury in 1650 and Francis Done of Salisbury in 1639, for they are properly Doves. Our work covers such Dow as arrived prior to Aug. 1775. The order will be:

a Henry Dow, from Ormsby to Watertown 1637 b Thomas Dow, grantee of Newbury 1639 c Samuel Dow, mariner, of Hartford 1660 d John Dow, of Pillcataway by 1692 e --, father of Lieuts John and James Dow, Philadelphia 1757 or before f --, father of John, Moses and William Dow, arrived NY about 1768 g --, father of James Dow, presumably pioneer of Acadia after its conquest

from the Frenoh

Order of primogeniture must be rigidly kept throughout. A second letter is added for the second generation. Thus the lstborn of Henry Dow immigrant is aa. The 3rd letter denotes 3rd generation. The lstborn grandson of Thomas Dow immigrant is baa. And so on. The 12th generation has arrived. At worst the individual identification mar!-- will be 12 letters. The combination of letters is inexhaustible, accommodating every descendant, the actual total of whom is over 250,000. Moreover, the combination of letters sticks in one's mind, as digits would not. They show relationship at a glance. bcde-

bac and bcdebbd must be own cousins. To the Author adggdc<;ab is as familiar as his baptismal name. Besides, all of us are easily grouped. All Quaker Dow must begin with an ad. All beginning with J:icde are descendants of four brothers who met at Lexington 1775. All Conn­ecticut Dows ( c line excepted) are from ahc, ahd or ahg. The abbe line is peculiarly of Hampton, N. H. And so on.

As primogeniture is strictly followed, the key fills every require­ment which consecutive pagination does. If the order of birth is not known, any person becomes x, y, z, symbols of unknown. adgx figures much in this Book. The only exception is Thomas Nudd, quasi adopt­ed son of Henry Dow; he skips a letter to become (for convenience, he being older than the true sons) ak.

Unnecessary punctuation is omitted, saving many pages. Abbre­viations are numerous as possible, but all are the usual and recognized ones. The word "untrnced" appears on almost every page, attached in table of children to each male whose subsequent career is unknown to the Author. It is seldom attached to female names, for over half of them would be untraced. If no comment follows a male name in a birth table, he is to be followed up under his individual letter key. Per contra, in tables of births many appear with death, marriage, etc. This does not preclude a subsequent item. The genealogist does not follow "l¾ith great keenness females. They are hard to discover; vital statistics ignore them shamefully. Moreover, in a next generation they bei'ong to some other family, the married name. Our space forbids, except in rarf!J instances, the inclusion of a third female generation. It is our (and should be of all) duty to carry as far as possible every female child through it second generation. Thus, and only thus, can a genealogy be a documeni; of historical and public usdulneHs. i

No American genealogy is complete or anything like complete~ Except for a very few small families, no single span of life, no successio:rj. of lives has sufficed to dig out the pedigree of every one of the name, evei{ if records of them had ever existed. Over one-half of the vital statis+ tics of colonial times have been lost by fire or time or carelessness ot' officials appointed to keep them. Perhaps a fourth never were record-:.

ed. It was not thought worth while in early inland settlements to bother with records. Even at this, the average town clerk thought he did hiJ~ whole duty if he wrote: wid Dow d May 1, 1729. A record: wid Mary Dow m John Fox, for example. Whose wid? What her- name. It is rare that an entry is clear as John Dow m Mary Smith, wid of James\ Davis. The parish clerk was no better. He wrote the baptismal record! of John Dow, son of John; who the mother and what John did not seem necessary. Five John Dow were born about 1712 in a radius of 25 miles. How do we know which is which? They all married about the same time. Have we identified each aright? There is no proving record. It becomes a matter of partial proof, of inference, of other evidence, of wills, deeds,

THE BOOK OF DOW 9

family tradition, finally of reductio ad absurdum. People do not stay put. They move even in the 17th century. How can we identify John Dow of Seabrook by birth with John Dow of unknown origin who settles in young manhood in Maine? One needs his wits even to connect John of 1900 born in Maine and married in Montana.

All of our genealogically inclined Dow have been steadily of the opinion that a published Dow Book is out of the question on account of the enormous total of errors, as well as omissions. Our best early col­lector admitted himself that it would take a year to check up dates alone and still be laughed at by other genealogists for palpable errors. Besides, there are too many untraced, too many disconnected Dow. The Author deems otherwise and shoulders the responsibility for every wrong date, wrong name, wrong identity, often occurring from his own clerical error. He has eliminated thousands of errors, but also added new ones. This volume is the mine of low grade ore, from which future workers may dis­card slag and expose the fine gold. No good Dow Genealogy can ever be printed, if some Dow Genealogy is not printed now. In another gen­eration it would be too unwieldy. Moreover, the work is going on con­stantly. Every owner of this Book will make his own additions from time to time. The actuarial expectation of life of the Author is still 16 years and in that time he hopes to make sundry thousand additions and corrections. That a Dow genealogy is needed by all students of Mass­achusetts Bay families is a prominent fact, for the name interlinks 'with every one in the colony, and the obscurity of Dow has hitherto been a great stumbling block.

An ideal genealogy should give in every ease the authority for a date, place or circumstance. It is impossible in a work of this size. Thousands of the dates differ, State, township, family Bible disagreeing. In vast numbers of instances our manuscript has been crowded with pen­cil corrections, with no space or time to note the authority. Spellings differ; must we load up page after page with authority for each? Official rec give a man two very distinct wives; we have no $pace for each author­ity. On the whole, town vital records are the most reliable; Quaker records very reliable as far as they go, but they go little. Church records are often careless. Family Bibles are notorious liars, never complete liars, only inclined to add some absolutely wrong item tb throw confusion into the Book, as deadly as a monkey wrench in an engine. The author has drawn from many sources. In addition to the genealogical material collected by H.B. Dow and Edgar R. Dow, he has obtained the com­plete lists of all births, marriages and deaths to 1920 or so from each New England State, Massachusetts as far as published. He has added the information obtained from the 1790 census, neglected by his predecessors. He has also the 1850 census of all New England, the 1860 and 1870 in spots. He has collated every reference in every well known genea.logical reriodical. He has read every genealogical page of Transcript or other

THE BOOK OF DOW

authority for over 25 years back. He looked through every local history in the New York Public Library; read every genealogy or other reference book in Los Angeles. He has corresponded with every other genealogist willing to compare notes with him. He cannot print his "authority." Life is not long enough, printing too expensive.

We have remarkecl_ that the greatest of genealogical difficulties is individual mobility. If a family remained century after century in its original town, all would be easy. But the younger son of 1750 had to emigrate then as now. From the coast there came to Gilmanton at its settlement a dozen Dow families. Not a record in Gilmanton indicates whence they came, what their origin, place or parentage. Among them were 3 Jonathans, 3 Johns, 2 Nathaniels, 2 Benjamins. In Maine the early settlers all came over the border. No vital statistics were collect­ed until 1892. Prior to 1830 a record, "went to Maine" was equivalent to being lost, settlers seldom writing home or keeping any knowledge of absent brothers. About 1790 to 1812 Ohio is as bad. All settlers to the Western Reserve are "lost" so far as the East is concerned. California looms as a trouble-maker. Most of its early permanent settlers had little to say about family. New England town histories end their genealogies about 1850, as a rule. From 1850 onward for a single generation is a terrible source of "untraceds." To get data after 1850 one must depend on personal correspondence. To search church records, town by town, wou:d cost a fortune. Now, replies from individuals are generally un­satisfactory, few bothering to write more than a dozen sentences of vague pedigree. If they have any curiosity, they can wait and get it out of the printed Dow Genealogy. Why put it in themselves? That 3,000 living Dow are not included in this Book is because they were too lazy, too indifferent, too something, to reply at all to a clearly worded letter asking genealogii;al information and promising to give freely the line of ancestors back to the earliest possible date. Indifference is not the only reason. There is lurking in many minds a suspicion of sinister motive in seeking names of one's parents, grandparents, etc. There is the miserly instinct, too. A worthy farmer wrote that if information of his grandfather was so valuable, he had better keep it to himself. The Author caused to be compiled a complete list of Dows from over 2,100 directories published in America and wrote to most of them. Not 5 per cent ever repfied. Fifty interviewed Dows admitted ( or claimed) they did not know their grand­parents' names. There are over 600 families of Dow immigrated since 1830, mostly from Scotland, next from Ireland, none from England.

It is ;difficult to get genealogical data by letter. No matter how care­fully the wants are specified, only one reply in 20,000 has been complete and concise. A Massachusetts judge wrote such a letter, 2 pages, bat not omitting a name, date or important circumstance and not containing a superfluous word. No other letter has said as much in 20 pages. On the average it takes five letters to get what should have been contained in

THE BOOK OF DOW 11

the first reply. The first mentions a few names; the second adds some dates request'ed, and takes them mainly from memory. The third, if at all, is inclined to argue on the uselessness of adding a mother's maiden name. The Author has written over 20,000 letters to make this Book. Edgar Dow used to send out great numbers of his printed form, to be filled in. The form had space for mention of each child, including his mar­riage, with date, and his children, grandchildren of the addressee. Most of these forms which came back specified under marriage "husband" or ''wife," it not occurring to the answerer to insert the names. Grand­children, yes, 3, or as the case might be. Seldom were they named or dated.

Collections of data for a Dow Genealogy were begun within the year of eac~ other by three men. Edgar R. Dow of Portland, Me., was the pioneer, his letters beginning 1881. His interest in the subject began with tracing the descendants of his own great grandfather, who was a Revolutionary captain. Following this, with great patience, he gained the data of the two immigrants, Henry and Thomas, with most of their descendants of the third generation, several to the fifth. He had to work without the great libraries existing today and there were omissions in his 3rd generation. As soon as his idea broadened to include a general Dow genealogy, he collected every name and address of a Dow through­out the country, every newspaper mention of the name. Excepting two years lost by ill health, he kept up this practice for 25 years and sent out thousands of blank forms. Such genealogies as he was able to connect with the main line, he kept on special printed page forms, the whole bound in loose leaf ledgers. After his death, the work was very occasionally kept up by his brother, Dr. George E. Dow. That gentleman, finally realizing that the ledgers were useless at home and that the Author meant business, sent them on. They contained somewhat over 6,000 names, of which over 2,000 were new to the Author and to other Dow collectors. James J. Dow of Faribault, Minn., had conceived the idea of a genealogy and had started on one, with similar method of sending out blanks. The two men found each other. The James J. Dow work was a hopeless failure, wrong in his own line, which he was never able to straighten out. His collections were finally thrown away. He also met D. Webster Dow of Epping, devotee of his own line. Correspondence with the Author's father began in 1888. One great value of Edgar's work was its exact birth dates, which replaced great numbers of approximated dates, as will later be explained.

When Edgar died, his widow was inclined to destroy the manus­cripts, which did not seem useful to any one and which had been a con­tributing cause to his ill health and death. They were rescued by his brother, who in turn died in 1921. It finally dawned upon the Author's mind that all he had received from Edgar was in finished form, with no disconnected Dow, no unformulated, scattered leftovers. He wrote for

12 THE BOOK OF DOW

such in 1923 and received two more ledgers. One was halfway form­ulated,-lines to date, occasionally back to the 5th generation, hut left unconnected with the main tree. This was of fully 3,000 names. Lapse of time and added knowledge enabled the Author to identify 95 per cent of these names, and in almost every instance, family records interpolated one or more children between those found in public vital statistics. This necessitated changing the letter keys to date in most of the lines. The second ledger was of wholly unconnected material, letters and the origin­al blanks filled in. Their comparative illegibility entailed vast work, but they finally added over 5,000 names. Even of this, 95 per cent had be­come connectible through lapse of time. This necessitated re-typing this entire Book for the fourth time.

Herbert Beeman Dow began about the same time and had the first three or four generations properly identified. Then a school principal, he liked to spend the long vacations perusing wills, deeds, etc. He thus got many names rightly connected. Of course, a name found in a will has no birth date. To aid his search, he was accustomed to approximate such birthdate. When his work was copied for the Author, the copyist did not specify what dates were approximated. Some were 20 years out of the way. Almost all of these have been eliminated, either from actual vital data or from Edgar's letters. Herbert was a past master in rightly conjecturing the right father for the right son. His hypotheses, when put to proof by subsequent knowledge, were singularly good. About 6,000 names were his contribution. His good nature impelled him for thirty years to answer every letter of inquiry. In recent years an arduous daily occupation has compelled him to halt. The Author has stored in Herbert's safe a duplicate of every record collected by himself, so that, in case of fire, death or calamity, a complete Dow collection would exist.

Richard Sylvester Dow of Boston became interested at Herbert's instance and spent much money on professional genealogists to find, in time to insert into the history of Essex County, the antecedents of Thomas Dow b. In this he failed utterly. His work was in 1916 stored hope­lessly in a summer home, but all its useful data had been copied by Her­bert and thus came to the Author. The work is marred badly by the methods of professional genealogists who sacrificed all truth to happy and easy guessing.

Mrs. Sarah B. Carrow of Methuen, professionally a searcher to establish lines for membership in D. A. R., has become a very dear friend and great helper. Her kinsman, Judge Harry Robinson Dow of No. Andover, Mass., wrote his own family faultlessly.

The late Joseph Dow of Hampton, N. H., President of the New. Hampshire Historical Society, held genealogy as a constant tracem:ate of the History of Hampton, his life monument, the two being identical to no small extent. He could not do much outside Hampton or outside the abbe line, but his Dow fundamentals are the final and unimpeach-

Dr. Frank F. Dow of Rochester, N. Y., prepared a ·wellnigh perfect account of the posterity of aclgge. Joy \Yheeler Dow is the best author­ity on ahc, ahd and ahg, but neither work has been available for this Book.

l'viiss Flora Dow of Centerville, N. Y., took up the genealogy of adacea to entertain an invalid father, but became an enthusiast, although with very limited opportunities. Her narrative started that line rightly for its completer form herein. Her kinswoman, J\Irs. Eudalia J. l\Iore, was a great help, elucidating the adacf and adacg lines, most of her de­tails never having been gained elsewhere. She and Flora came by ac­cident on the bcdec line, thitherto unkno1n1. She has been a faithful friend, full of zeal to add something; useful.

l\Iiss Grace .-\.. Price cf Clenbnd began hy tracing her own quar­tering:;, when the ahbc line was to us unknown. Since 1915 she has con­tributed several thousand hours to this work. As she was a Dow only two generations bac·k, only two moti,·es are possible for her aicl,-an in­nate spirit of helpfulness and a fondne::;s for tt corner of the big and quiet library where genealogical books were ample. No Dow item ever reach­ing her keen eye remained uncopied. As l\Irs. Rawson, she no doubt continues still more useful.

Cynthia Jones of Haddon Hcighi.s, N. J., who has retained to great. age the sweet sim­plicity of character charnctcristic of the Quaker matron of long ago. 1Irs.

John l\Iark :\Ioses of Northwood, ;,ocretary of the Piscataway Pion­eers, sought, among many other ta~b, to perfect a history of Northwood. He got back to its founder, Beniah Dow, but was then confused, there be­ing a Beniah adgfccl. His a11peal to the Tran<;cript w::is ans,verecl by the Author, set.ting him right about Beniah 5 of Epping. He then discovered the lost Epping records and copied enry Dow name. He started to copy the records of the Second church and did ~o to 1772, when one morn­ing he was found dead in bed from an olrl heart trouble. He ,ms un­married and left a mother of 83.

Other ackno,dcdgments might be nrndc up to the huncJn,ds. \Yhen the present ,\uthor undertook to publish a Book about Dow,

nothing was farther from his mind th::w to undertake the family gen­ealogy and he had no knmvledge of the subject. His brother .John \V. Dow had prepared a 20-page manuscript tracing our mvn line only. ,Joy ,V. Do\\· had prepared, during t"·enty years or so, work on the so-called Connecticut Dows, ahc, ahcl and ahg. but he neYer expected to be able to publish. The Author suggested putting the hrn works together, copying what Herbert B. Dow had, de\·oting a few months to the editing, and then publishing materials to dart a Dow Genealogy. This will-o'­the-wisp ·ffas pursued for a while, in spite of Herbert's warning of its futility. The job of copying Herbert's work took .Jo:,· over G "·eeks, not including the Conn. lines, ,vhich Joy had already. .\s the mass was in­spected, enlightenment came surely but slowly. _\ little later Jo.\· Dow withdrew from a difference of opinion over editorial policy.

The matter of Dow Genealogy had by this time progressed until its fascination became engrossing. The original idea· of six months cle\·o!.ecl to editing existing materia ,vas lengthened to two years; ancl in six months more was lengthened into a minimum of fixe years.

Since then we have realized constantly that a lifetime is too short. \Ye have ahvays hoped against hope of succeeding where all pre­

decessors have failed and always been conscious of the great need by all students of a Dow genealogy, its family obscurity blocking all search in all other lines from J\Iass. Bay. )1.s time went on, the ,vork ahead kept increasing. The mass of unconnected statistics, obtained almost daily from new searches, rose table high. \Vhen the original collections ,vere made, libraries were fe,v and small. The original collectors did not know what a big modern library is. This quest the Author began and pursued through 10,000 volumes. An unindexed book is a menace to public healLh. Over fifty volumes in the New York Public Library have genealogical tables of 10,000 names up,rnrd, absolutely uninclexed. One has to scan each page. For sen~ral years, the daily search swelled

THE BOOK OF DOW 15

the disconnected list. At one time the Author had 20,000 names dis­connected. Only since 1921 was the peak passed. Each search now, ·each new material of solidity, lessens the· disconnected mass, the total ,under 5,000.

Iii addition, correspondence increased so that each day's mail en­tailed work. A majority of letters necessitated some addition or alter­ation, often of a single word or date. Such pencil interlineations before long made the manuscript illegible to a printer. It has been re-typed from start to finish no less than five times. Each name and date has been each time checked as well as we could, to prevent copying errors. An index had to be kept alongside. It had to be a card affair, with data on each card to establish any disconnected new name. The letter keys changed every day. Often a line from fifth generation must be altered to make it correct. We find that he whom we had supposed to be adadh is really adadi. This alone means altering 500 cards. Five times our carelessness in keeping index to date, unsatbfactoriness of the system, or other cause, has compelled us to re-index. To correct each card would take five times the effort to begin de novo. We have done it five times.

Let us not forget that the Author is the sole publisher and bearer · of expense, and realizes full well that works of this kind are disastrous financial failures, that under the best of conditions he can scarcely get back the bare cost of printing. D. B. Hoyt's Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury is a classic, yet has not returned to its author the print­ing cost. The total cost of this Book is a fortune, the Author does not expect, does not want, a penny back for 5,000 hours of his own labor. No money has ever been asked for or expected. The price of the pub­lished Book, luxury as it is, necessary to no one, may seem a little high. It is below half the actual cost, even if every volume is sold. Let this be remembered. Many who have written some single letter to aid ex­pect the gift of the Book. The average public librarian, even of the largest libraries, expects such books to come as gifts, published to satisfy the Author's vanity. In this case, it will not be done. Endowed lib­raries should buy what books they ~eed, otherwise go without.

A propos of expense account, a few anecdotes: A sample Dow is a Scot by birth, of Syracuse, N. Y., traveling salesman. To a letter, of genealogical inquiry, he replies that he knows quite a lot of Dows and will look them up, but wishes first to know "what there is in it for me." One commercial traveler fixed the price of information, it being a side line, at $5.00 for each Dow interviewed. Happily, this ilk is always of recent immigration, devoid of pride, perhaps of parentage. No pro­fessional genealogist of Dow blood has ever suggested that the Author pay anything. Some of them gave material abundantly. Cash outlay is for stationery and return postage, largely, with an occasional dollar to a town clerk. The latter, especially in New England, are a fine race

16 THE BOOK OF DOW

of men, generally past middle age, almost always identified with their home community, with long memories and a zeal to aid anything which might contribute to the history of their towns. The professional gen­ealogists-bless 'em-have a living to make, but they seldom see that their contributions to a Book like this would cost more in time to collate that they would add. One of the best genealogists in the land wrote one day that in a certain account book in a certain town in Maine wasran excellent autograph of one Joseph Dow of 1783. For this information he charged 50 cents, which, he added, the Author was under no oblig­ations, moral, legal or equitable, to pay. At this rate, the Author re­plied, the whole Dow Book would cost over $575,000, a sum which he did not possess.

Given equal birth and environment, or given most unequal con­ditions, families average up pretty much the same in the long run. The line from a degenerate generally becomes extinct. Some are for several generations a little more prosperous, more distinguished, more honest than others, often more warlike, with more soldiers, but not enough so to justify vanity in the matter. No pride so liable to take a fall as pride genealogical. The richest Dow in this Book sprang from an ancestor who died from poverty and gradual starvation. The slacker who went to jail for a term of years had for ancestors throughout the bravest male line in this book. The adage holds fairly well of three generations from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves, in spite of the tendency to make a practical entail of many swollen fortunes. It is also true that the family having most wealth in individual cases will also have its balance in complete failures. The family having conspicuous genius has more than its usual compensating number of idiots. A family replete with nonogenarians will have a high infant mortality rate. Caste, entail, pride cannot over­throw the superhuman law of evening-up in the long run. The pos­terity of Alfred the Great averages just equal to the posterity of Piers, plowman.

Yet:-we are a pretty good lot, we Dow. We are generally queer. Some of us are h01:rible cads, but we believe with good ground that for each cad we have more than the average of g.enerous impulse-bearers and lovable natures. We have had shameless slackers in high places, but in low places we have had men who led a forlorn hope from'Fort this or that. The number of millionaires, of profiteers in war time, of captains of industry, is average; the number of paupers equally average. Ille­gitimate births seem below the average, and this statement is made after careful comparisons. Owing to the Quaker stock of a third of us (per­haps this is true), our reputation for honesty is better than average, as well as our prison record. Remarkably few of us have seen prisons from the inside. We have three sus per coll; one a wronged man, two notor­ious brigands, not vulgar murderers, Every king in Europe sprang

THE BOOK OF DOW 17

from a notorious brigand who succeeded. We have had only one con­spicuous failure through crime and he fell not from a criminal instinct, but from too dizzy height in high finance, climbing too eagerly toward a captaincy of industry. Perhaps the Quaker leaven has increased the proportion of humble farmers and millhands. The workers in shoe­factories are far above the average. The number of men who will cheat the conductor of a nickel is below the average. No case of bigamy has been found, only one of wife desertion. Suicides are fully the average. In martial spirit, the Quaker line has not lessened the average. This is due to the law of compensation. The proportion of Dow in the Revo­lution is second to no family. Nine of us were at Bunker Hill. In the towns around Haverhill not a single Dow stayed at home, if he were of military age. The proportion of volunteers in 1861 is above the average.

In counting profit and loss in his enterprise, the Author must not omit mention of the richest reward of his labors. He has made from coast to coast firm and lifelong friends of the best of men and women, unknown to him until they aided this Book. He has united a score of brothers and sisters who had for years lost sight of each other. He has found a dozen Dow who, orphaned early, never knew a relative. He has been able to re-unite parted couples, to heal quarrels of twenty years standing, to rescue a cast-off. There is an esprit du corps, a meaning to the phrase:-

THE PRIDE OF DOW

Robert Piercy Dow Laguna Beach, Calif., May 25, 1926

THE acquisition of surnames by the people of Great Britain was grad11al, the process covering about five centuries following the

· Norman conquest. The Cromwellian wars meant a wide change of surnames. In France and Germany and all western Europe the process was almost synchronous and equally gradual. Surnames were not reduced to a fixed spelling until about 1700, and even after that they varied, altho mostly through ignorance of spelling. There were in England no laws governing the taking of a permanent family name, as there were in Germany and Austria, where all Jews were compelled to take binomial names. In England it was merely for convenience, as the population increased and the names John, William, Richard, Henry increased with each king of that name until they were not separable by the tax collector. It was to prevent confusion that each man became known to his neighbors by a qualifying epithet. John the little man be­came permanently John Little. John who lived on a hill became John Hill and left the fixed name to his children. So did John the smith and John the strong. A member of a noble family got a fixed name from his land. For the yeomanry and peasantry some perso11al characteristic had to be found. In a majority of instances a patronymic was employed. We have a John Williamson, son of William Johnson, son of John. A son of Alexander may become Sanders, Saunders, Sandys, even Elshioner. A son of David may be Davis, David, Davison, Davidson, Dawson, Daw, etc. A John who was in trade was generally dubbed by it-Baker, Tyler, Weaver, etc. The son of some undersized Peter became Peterkins, then Perkins. Many persons, however, without trade, without p-lace, had some mental or physical characteristic seized upon by the neighbors, generally in rough jest, and were dubbed vvilly nilly with a surname which became permanent. Thus, a dull-eyed became Fish; another man Lyon (unless he came from Lyons, France); another Fox, Marten, Sparkes (sparrow hawk), etc. The-first man named Hogg had habits justifying his neighbors' choice of a name for him~ Cowards might have been brave men, they were cowherds. The surnames Cuckold, Trull, Trollop, Harridan, et<>., have not entirely disappeared.

In many counties of England there were men of mild manner, whose personalities called for a gentle name. One easily imagines newlyweds so given to billing and cooing that they found themselves forever dubbed the "doves.'' This name is not peculiar to England. It was applied for the same reason in Italy. Christopher Columbus (Colombo) is a dove. In England we find the name . close to 1200 in a Parliamentary writ directed to a Nicholas le Duv and a Richard le Duv. As time went on, the method of spelling tended to crystallize differently in different countries. In Norfolk the whole tendency was toward Dowe and proba-

THE BOOK OF DOW 19

bly all Norfolk Dow have a common Dow ancestor. In Rants the ten­dency was toward Doue. In another country the spelling Dove is wholly now used. There were not fewer than twenty original families of Dow. The :µame is not indigenous to Wales or Ireland, the Dow of those places be­ing migrants from England or Scotland. In Norfolk it is a v.ery common name; Smith is less common here. In England the pronunciation is never as we pronounce it in America (as in cow and now); it is long, and half way between the pronunciation of doe and dove. Our present pro­nunciation is yankee twang, and began not before 1650. The earliest spelling Dow that we find is in Oct. 1505, when Eleanore Dow of Rekyn­hale received a legacy from Edmund Sparhawke of Laxfield. Henry Dow of Runham spells his name in 1613 indifferently Dowe and Dove. In Massachusetts Bay Colony Henry Dow in 1653 spelled it Dowe, Dow and Dove. About 1725 the final e became lost, but has been resumed recently by a few individuals. Several branches of the Connecticut Dows have been Dowe for three generations. It is a matter of choice; it con­fuses the genealogist only a little. A member of the Doe family thought it more dignified to call himself Dowe (pronounced long as in doe). This was a little confusing, but we discovered him and banished him from our Book.

The name Doe is confused with Dow only in ignorance, but this ignorance extended to a San Francisco amateur of pretension who aided the making of the Doe Genealogy. To get an origin to the name the travel was absurdly afield. A Norman chevalier D'O was quoted; there was a family Deaux. A George Do of Jesus College, Cambridge, was quoted, who had arms-3 dogs rampant. This member- of the Dogge family did not like his name but he could not get rid of his arms. The deer tribe has furnished many surnames,-Stagg, Buck, Roe, Hart, etc. · This is the origin of the several original families of Doe.

The name Dow is even more common in Scotland than in England, and from Scotland the Dows invaded Ireland in vast hordes. In Dublin in one year twelve Thomas Dow died. No Scotch Dow is entitled to arms. One is pictured in Fairbanks, but it is a dove, either stolen or belonging to an emigrant from England. The Scotch name is Dhu, meaning dark, swarthy, any such man being conspicuous among those of the blonde or red race. As in England, there was never a single Dow family of Scotland. They were never a clan or a sept, and most of them took the name comparatively recently.

Alexander Dow of Detroit explains how the sept Appin, Clan Stew­art, proscribed five generations ago, scattered and took refuge under the name of Dow. This name in Aberdeen is today pronounced as the Dhu. We know well the word daw, best known as jackdaw, a black bird. There is in England a family formerly Daw but now Black. It is absurdly far-fetched to assume, as has Joel N. Eno, A. M., in "Fiery Cross," that the Dow of Clan Davidson are claws, or that the Dow of Clan Buchanan

20 THE BOOK OF DOW

are doves. For dove he gives from Colman (columba, dove), a hero of the Clan Buchanan. In the Weekly Scotsman, March 2, 1918, there appears a note:-"Dow, Dowe, Dove-Anglicized forms of Calum, dove from St. Columba. The ancestor of the Dows was Colman, third son of the seventh chief of the Buchanans. The Dows are therefore a sept of the clan Buchanan. This is rank absurdity. Col means crafty, sly, and was in early Scotland a complimentary adjective. It shows in Col­fax, Colburn, etc., siy fox and sly bear. To transpose Columba into Colman does not accord with any law of philology.

One must not confuse Scotch Daw with Welsh Daw, the latter mere­ly son of David, Dawes, Dawey, Dawson being variants. Scott's hero, Sir Rhoderick Dhu, was not of a clan, but outlaw, making his own ances­try or posterity, his own clan. The border Dhu were dark with robbery and rapine aplenty. The main point to be made, so far as this Book is concerned, is that there is no connection between English and Scotch Dow. An etymological cousin of Dhu is Duirche, surviving as a surname in Durgin, possibly as Dowkin.

The Dutch Douw have no connection, but are best known from Gerard Douw, famous painter, whose kin came to New Amsterdam about 1630, settling near Albany, and are today far from weak numerically. A German family of Dau (pronounced as our own) has even less kinship. It is well known in New York City.

There is no connection between Dow and Dows. The latter, a family well represented in early Boston, is Norman and originally Douce from dulcis. One English branch of this family has become Sweet, and some sweet Isabella was the mother of families of Dowsabell, Dussabell, Duzzabel. The Dowsons are sons of Dows, not of Dow. The names Dowie, Dowrie, Dowing are of uncertain connection with Dow.

We must not confuse the word Dowgate. This is never the gate of the doves. It is the water-gate, old Anglo Saxon. The best known was the watergate of London, described by Samuel Pepys. It was an exit from London, crossing a ford and going straight on to Dover. Dover is the water town, and this was a famous Roman road. A family of Dowser exists. They were originally searchers for springs, with rod of witch hazel in hand, as it is still done. To douse the glim is thieves' cant of great antiquity. While it means to extinguish a light, it is by throwing water on a torch. The family of Dowrst, neighbors of Dow in New Hampshire at an early date, are water-men.

There are well known Dow in Boston and Montreal, Chinese. Many occurrences of the syllable compounded are of Continental, or even of Oriental origin, Dowkout fhintly suggests Holland, Dowhovych Russia, Dowiak Finnish or Tartar, Dowjiboom Armenia or Persia. AU of these are in the New York directory. Chann Dow of Louisville is very black, but a faithful porter.

With heraldic devices this Book has little concern, altho the vanity

THE BOOK O:B1 DOW 21

of Dow is constantly appealing to his sympathy. No Dow in America has any right whatever to any arms and the whole idea is repugnant to our sturdy original yeomanry. We are yeomen, neither nobles or peasants, nev:er Saxon serfs. To say, as was said in a genealogical weekly news­paper, that the Dow arms are: Sable a fesse dancette ermine between three doves argent, is a lie, i. e., deliberately intended to deceive. A number of families of Dow have received arms from the College of Heraldry, and the basis of all is the dove crest, the three doves, generally in a sable star, and the ribbon, generally with the word "patiens." A Scotch crest, figured in Fairbanks, is a pegasus rampant. Those who have received Dow arms are of three classes,-have paid cash, had some mayoralty or petty preferment, or been polite to the King's mistress. There was no grant of arms to a Norfolk Dow, altho some of them did enter the gentry by marriage to some heiress.

There can be no Dow plaid. A quarter-century ago a tourist in Edinburgh brought home a piece of plaid guaranteed by the merchant who sold it to be genuine Dow plaid. This was cut up and small pieces were given to several Dows. Twenty years later the tale connected with it grew to include the statement that it was the plaid of Thomas Dow, immigrant of 1639. Now, poor Thomas, who practically starved to death, never knew a plaid. When the tale finally reached the Author, he submitted a sample to as many experts as he could reach. A few made guarded replies, but one was honest enough to say that it was not a genuine tartan at all, that it came nearest to the plaid of Clan Davidson. Business is business and one can readily buy in Edinburgh a plaid guaranteed to have been worn for centuries by Ipstein or Flaherty.

One immigrant Dow we will dispose of in passing. ffrancis Dow was a pioneer of Salisbury, Mass., in the first division of land. He came from Wilts and returned there after 1655. In 1650 he was an influential citi­zen of Salisbury, and was addressed as Mr., the title reserved then for the few best. Aug. 4, 1655, John Sand'trs sells to Andrew Greele a "lot for a saw mill ate the hither end of ye great meadows encompassed with ye grwat neck of Mr. Dow's Rie Lott-in Salsberry." The Greeley tide mill was run by a Dow in 1729.

Francis Dow had been mayor and justice of the peace in New Sarum, England, and came to Massachusetts, tempted, perhaps, by tales of great richness, of gold, etc. It may be noted that many noblemen and gentry were among the immigrants prior to 1650 and most of them returned to England. They found no riches here, but they found hardships such as they did not wish to stand. They found also a democratic attnosphere not easy to endure. While British caste ideas prevailed a little and the gentry was looked up to, even in Boston, the illiterate peasant, if he had the ability, was equal in politics and readily asserted his equality, soon

· getting the upper hand, if there was suffrage. Francis Dow was a Dove,

22 THE BOOK OF DOW

rather than a true Dow. He had a son Peter, who never came to this country, but was a gentleman of New Sarum, high sheriff of Wilts in 1673. Peter thought little of his American inheritance, and did not dis­pose of it for fifteen years.

Francis Dow was one of the first to bring rye to Massachusetts. Two documents bear on this rye lot. Sept. 5, 1674, Peter Dow of New Sarum in ye county of Wiltes, esquire, appointed his friend Timothy Lindall of Boston merchant his attorney to collect rents, etc., in New England. Nov. 5, 1674, Peter Dow of ye citti of New Sarum in the county of Wilts, England, deeded to Timothy Lindall of Boston land in Salis­bury, New England, which land ffrancis Dow owned, and which descended and came of right to Peter Dow, ye only son and heire of Francis Dow. Feb. 1, 1683, land is deeded to Joseph Dow of Salisbury, a piece of ground of 20 acres, as it was laid out to Mr. ffrancis Dowe.

Timothy Lindall, gent, carried on an extensive me:rchandizing bus­iness from Boston, and was agent for a number of English land holders.

Joseph Dow was our ad, the first Quaker Dow. This twenty acres was one of nine purchases made by him when the Hampton Quakers were secretly planning to come to Seabrook, an uninhabited region and a semi­isolated refuge.

IN the History of Hampton, N. H., by the late Joseph Dow, by far the richest treasury of information about the beginnings of the Dow family in America, it is stated that Henry Dow, immigrant, was

descended from John Dow of Tylner, Norfolk Co., whose will was pro­bated July 23, 1561. In making this erroneous statement (which has been copied far and widely) he was grossly imposed upon by a professional English genealogist; who later confessed that he "took a chance." He took the money and kept it, out of the slender means of Joseph Dow. This will was inspected afterwards and found to be that of a John Downet.

Perhaps (and the author thinks probably) there was only one original family of Dow in Norfolk. The name occurs in the yeomanry in the 13th century in Norfolk. By 1500 the name was common throughout Norfolk. Some of them were land-owners by 1450; others had lease­holds in practically permanent form. Some had become of the gentry.

A Parliamentary writ of about 1200 cites one Richard le Duv and one Nicholas le Duv, apparently father and son, land-holders of Great Yarmouth. It is quite possible that the elder of these was the first· to bear the name. It is certain that such surname could not have been in existence, as Norfolk County was slow in adopting surnames. Beyond much doubt here is the origin of the family. As a whole their position from the first was high in the yeomanry but not in the gentry. Individ­ual members entered the gentry through marriages with heiresses and one member was created a knight banneret. Beyond a doubt, too, every Dow of Norfolk County is descended from one ancestor, a Saxon, and Norman inter-marriages occurred from 1400 onward.

The first definitely known, except as a name, is one John Dow of East Herling, 1487. His son and heir John Dow of Diss, gave to the guilds their house in Heyton St. This sounds like a man of property who had risen from a trade.

In Hapham May 8, 1498, John Dow suc,ceeded an incumbent priest. Such instances are mostly younger sons of gentry.

Mr. Dowe of Brisingham married the daughter and heiress of Thomas Howard of Burston. The Howards were noble, even connected with royalty. She in her widowhood passed the priory manor on to the Bung­loes.

After this, there are some interesting mentions of Dow, of lines which can be no more than collateral to ours.

John Dowe of Alltburgh, who died 1620, a character and large land­holder, married Anne Cockett, daughter of Thomas of Brownsthorp. She outlived him until 1626, very charitable to the poor, a benefactress to the church. This John Dowe composed his epitaph:

24 THE BOOK OF DOW

Vpon old John Dowe an Unprofitable townsman of great estate in land and yet not worth a mortuary at his Death in Goods.

John Dowe an antient townsman was buried in divers years past before

And lyeth buried within the Church South Door. De quo hoc verum Epitaphium hebaeri posset.

Here lyeth the Dowe who ne'er in life did good Nor would have done though longer he had stood A wife he had both Beautiful! and wise But he ne'er would such goodness exercise Death was his Freind to bring him to his grave For he in life commendam none could have.

We now come back to the yeomanry. The Society of Anti­quaries of London, Archaeologia vol 25, p 421, gives extracts from the household and privy purse accounts of the Lestranges of Hunstanton, Norfolk, from 1519 to 1578:

This booke make mencyon of all payments for the hows & receyts from the xxvth day of September in the xjth yere of ye leigue of Kyng Henry the VIIIth on to ye next accompts

Anan ljd.

A cowl is the wooden cross piece to be worn on the shoulders, from which a pail or other load .may be suspended at each end. It is possible, even rather probable, that this John Dow is father of our earliest known ancestor, but no evidence of it exists.

From C C Norwich: Baynes 127, comes the first mention found of our own line.

From this we make out that John Dow was thrifty and had a home; that his bequests to charity were not inconsiderable for his time, that the name of his wife was Johan Coop. ·

The will of the widow adds another name:

THE BOOK OF DOW 25

At this time the Dow family of Yarmouth, notably of Runham parish, was not so numerous to make it improbable that they were all closely akin. It seems probable that John Dow had a brother Thomas of Run­haID. This Thomas had at least three sons:

a William bur Dec 29, 1567 b John bur Feb 13, 1572 c Thomas bur Good Friday Apr 6, 1599

This 3rd born Thomas had a wife Elizabeth and a son Thomas b Oct 28, 1640. We cannot differentiate between Thomas Dow bur Apr 23, 1642, 'and Thomas Dow bur Oct 2, 1666.

Of this line seems Henry Dow with wife Ann and a son Thomas b June 2, 1673; ·d Sept 28, 1673. Also Elizabeth Dowe ID Mch 13, 1614, Gregorie Davie (also spelled Davye). Also Ellen Dowe m RunhaID Jan 15, 1643, John Holmes.

Thomas Dow xa, whose children repeat the names of the previous generation, may have seen service in his youth, for he possessed and be­queathed a piece of land, not owned by his father, held of the King for military service. He was 16 when his father died. He ID Oct 5, 1549, Margaret England. For many years he kept an inn in Runham Parish, Yarmouth, and probably farmed his arable lands. It is on record that Thomas Dow, an honest man and good housekeeper, was bur: the xth day of May, 1591. Again: Margaret Dowe, wid: bur: Sept 5, 1616.

In Chancery Inquisitions Post Mortem vol 344, no 94:

Inquisition taken at Walton, co Norfolk, 19th April, 12 James I, after the death of Henry Dowe, yeoman,

The said Henry was seized of a close of arable land called le W onge close in Runham, containing about 14 acres; in reversion after the death of his mother Margaret Dowe, late the wife of Thomas Dowe, a messuage of land in Runham, Thrigby, and Maultby, still in the occupation of the said Margaret. By his will he bequeathed the said messuages to his wife for life, remainder of his son Thomas.

He died 21 April 11 James I (1614), Thomas his said son and heir

THE BOOK OF DOW 27

being then aged 11 years three months. He is now in the custody of ,&jj; mother Elizabeth.

The said close called le W onge is held of the King by military ser­vice, and is worth 13s 3d yearly.

The Messuage-, etc., is held of Sir Thomas Birney, Knight, as of his manor of Strumpsall by fealty and a rent of 16d yearly.

From these records it appears that this particular Dow family were -fairly well-to-do and of good standing. Both generations possessed some education and the family came from Catholicism through the Reform­ation into the Church of England. Henry of the next generation was probably the only dissenter, surely the only Puritan.

Henry Dow, xaaf, to be known as a progenitor of the largest Ameri­can family, was at 25 a farmer in Ormsby. He had a little inheritance

.- from his mother, more than enough to equip his holding of land. Orms­by is not far from Runham. Its parish register was copied in 1880 by Rev RS Blofield, rector. In it occur three important items, which prove that Henry b 1606 _of Runham is Henry of Ormsby and America:

Edward Dow and Elizabeth Robbins were married ye xxvij of Jan-uary, anno Dom 1628.

Henry Dow and Jane Nud was married ye 11 of February 1630_ oe · · Anno Domini 1631 Thomas doue filius Thomas Doue_ et Joane uxoris ejus yicesimo

Septi mo die December baptirjatus fuit.

The mention of the father as Thomas is an obvious pen slip. We follow the youngster to America, where he died at 10.

It is clear that the brothers Edward and Henry were together as husbandmen in Ormsby, that each found a wife there, that the ties of Runham gradually were loosed as Ormsby ties grew strong. What happened to Edward we have not traced. Of Henry's path, the account is fairly ample. Of Joan Nudd we know but little: not her maiden name. She w.as 23 at her marriage and had a baby boy. Her husband was Roger Nudd, son of John, who died in Ormsby 1629. Probably Henry and Roger were fellow farmers. The Nudds were numerous in Norfolk, mostly in the sea~ard parish. ' Vital rec. of that parish are not extant prior to 1671. The Nudd affairs are fully discussed under the chapter of Thomas Nudd, immigrant of 1637.

Under what circumstances Henry and Joan became dissenters is not known. They were of the established Phurch in 1630. There arose in Ormsby a great deal of dissatisfaction, religious and otherwise. This crystallized into a determination of seven famil0es to try the New World. It was an arrangement planned long in advancE. and was consummated on the same boat. Hotten's Original Lists give all thtS fom:lies, who afterwards appear together in Hampton, NH, th~Page, Moulton, Mar-

28 THE BOOK OF DOW

ston families intermarried with Dow with especial frequency. It has often been asserted, with more or less cynicism, that a desire to better one's material condition was the paramount reason for going to America, desire for religious freedom being very secondary. It may be that these people were at no time dissenters in England. They had to be, in Mass­achusetts Bay, for there were no others. That all of them were of strong religious feeling is sure. No others could stand the intensely relig­ious atmosphere of New England, a situation in which one must travel a very narrow path of rectitude, almost all ordinary pleasures being out­side the pale. If the percentage of immigrants whose motive was im­provement of material conditions and not intense religiousness had been at all large, the stern puritan life could not have maintained its iron grip, but would have degenerated into the free and easy morals of Virginia during the same period. In Massachusett~ Bay all were of the persuasion which became Congregationalism, in contrast to that of the Plymouth colony whose notion of Government became Presbyterianism.

In the Rolls Office, Chancery Lane, London, is a small parchment­bound volume labelled on the cover:

TC 27. 979 A A. D. 1637 13 Car. 1

This is filled with entries of persons "desirous to pass beyond seas" and consists of 16 pp, most of which are.taken up by names of Puritans on the way to Holland. The contents has been copied into Hotten's Original Lists, Drake's Founders of New England, etc.

The entry vital to us is:

"These people went to New England: with William: Andrewes: of Ipswich M'r of the: John: and Dorethy: of Ipswich and with Wil­liam Andrewes his son M'r of the Rose: of Yarmouth Aprill the 11th 1637. The examination of Henerey Dowe of Ormsby in Nor:ff Husband man, ageed 29 yeares and Joane: his wife ageed 30 yeares with four child­ren, and one Saruant Ann Maning aged 17 yeares, are desirous to passe into New England to inhabitt."

This is all clear. Henry Dow of Ormsby married the widow of his friend, a year older than himself, took her baby boy; had three children of his own and was able to start with- a servant. This latter does not indicate affluence. Passage to Ame.rica was very costly. Young men and women of good family gladly indentured themselves for a long term if the emp)oyer would pay the passage. It was in this way that Margaret Cole, who became Henry Dow's second wife, came to Dedham with the family of Mitchill Metcalfe. But, it does show that Henry was <iecidedly thrifty or charitable to bring the maid. Of Ann Manning, saruant ageed 17 nothing further appears; no doubt she found a husband as soon as her term of service was up. The Andrewes, father and son,

THE BOOK OF DOW 29

were in the regular business of carrying emigrants across, so they do not appear again in these pages.

From Henry Dow are descended nearly three-fifths of all the Dows of America. The party landed in Boston after a long voyage, no details of which have appeared. One child either died on voyage or on land be­fore Watertown statistics were begun. How and why Henry parted from his companions we do not know. All but he turned up 1640 in Hampton and asked l;:iim to join them there. Henry proceeded almost at once to Watertown, just being settled about ten miles west of Boston. Presum­ably the selection of the place was influenced by the opportunity to be­come a grantee on equal terms, with allotment of land free. No settler in those days had to buy land unless it was thought desirable to pay the Indians for a title. He remained seven years in Watertown, a very in­conspicuous citizen. He was admitted a freeman May 2, 1638, but held no office in his town. In fact, the only mentions of him in Watertown are in the land records and vital statistics. He could have had free land in Hampton in 1640, but decided not to accept it. There is reason to think that he stayed in Watertown until the land boomed. In a few years the settled place commanded a price at which the original settlers took pro­fits and moved on to begin anew and clear forest land. We know that Henry Dow left Watertown a moderate capitalist.

Clearly, between the two inventories an almost complete change of adjacent land ownership had taken place, the original settle:rs selling out to new comers. Henry's farm has not been placed, no effort having been made. The home was on the west side of School St.

In the transcript of Don Gleason Hill of the First Church (of Ded­ham) : Margarette Cole our sister by p' dence being maried to a brother of Watertown named Dow was dismissed to y't Church 1643. The wed­ding was not at Watertown.

Thus is recorded the birth of Joseph Dow, first Dow ever born in America, whose posterity is the most numerous; also the death of his older brother; the death of his mother at 33, twice a wife, five times a mother; the birth of two new children, following his father's speedy re­marriage. We must not accuse Henry of indelicacy. In primitive New England life for a man without a wife's help was hard indeed; for a woman without help from a husband harder yet; for children without both parents almost unsupportable. Margaret Cole had known Henry Dow in Ormsby, had come to America in 1639 with the Metcalfe family and had settled in Dedham. She was ind(;ntured, just as Ann Manning had been, and was younger than Henry Dow. In First Church Dedham: Margaret Coole, a maid servant, giving good satisfaction to ye church was received in ye 3rd month of this yeare, 1639. Others from Ormsby were admitted about the same time. Margaret survived her husband by 16 years; m 2nd (Martgrit Dow) Aug 23, 1661, Richard Kimball of Ipswich. He was of Watertown 1641 to 1644 and came then to know the 1

Dows. In 1644 the time was ripe to move. Henry sold out all his lands and

started overland for Hi1,mpton. In that town is an entry: June 16, 1640, grant of a house lot to Henry Dow, if he come. Evidently he had thought

THE BOOK OF DOW 31

then of moving. But, he had become an astute land speculator. In 1644 he got enough for his Watertown property to buy treble the property offered as a gift. In 1644 he bought his house lot from John Sanders, freeman, of Ipswich in 1634, who came early to Hampton, but sold out, went to Newbury, returning finally to Hampton. In 1649 Henry bought the homestead of William Wakefield, freeman of 1638, who moved to New­bury in 1646. It was from this latter plot that Henry set off 10 acres for Thomas Nudd as his home. He bought a house already built from John Sanborn (where the store of J J Leavitt stood in 1890). The original Sanders purchase was on the road from Hampton village to Hampton Beach, about 1½ miles from the ocean. In the part of the town now known as Boar's Head was the Oxe Common, land where the share holders pas­tured. The Cow Common was divided in 1645 into 147 shares and al­lotted to proprietors of house lots, Hen: Dow receiving 3 shares by vir­tue of proportionate lot owning. The homestead remain;ed long in the family, sold by Olive Dow, unm, of the 6th generation.

The fates were much kinder in Hampton than in Watertown. Henry 1

was there a man of influence, his merits known. Of course, currency was scarce to all alike and it was wholly in the usual conduct of business that Henry in 1650 binds himself to pay a debt in good merchantable wheat. He was selectman in 1651, Deputy to the General Court of Mass­achusetts 1655-6. He trad_ed briskly in real estate at all times. In 1650 he sells to Manuel Hiliard a 10 acre house lot and 3 acres of salt marsh for money. He signs his name this year as Doue. Feb 16, 16_59, he made provision for his oldest son: a house and barn bought from Thomas Sleeper, 100· rods of adjoining land, a share of the oxe common, the share of the cow common bought from Thomas Sleeper, also 6 acres of planting ground in the east field. He was appointed with two others to examine the land grants and highways, but died before this was com­pleted, Apr 21, 1659. He was one of the dozen men of Hampton s.Iways styled "gentleman" and as "!.vfr." His children:

Ten years prior to making his last will and testament, Henry Dow filed the following, now in Probate Court at Exeter: Upon a promise made unto my former wife that if I were the longer liver I would make him as my own sonne, he now being grown to man's estate, I doe now and freely give and grant unto Thomas Nudd, my sonne in law to him and his heirs a parcell of lande out of my house Iott, containing 10 acres be it more or lesse, etc.

Thus God, who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, proved kind to little Tommy Nudd, to whom was given a stepfather before he was 2 and a stepmother at 12. His name occurs with that of his half-brother Henry many times as witness, etc. In 1648 he was official keeper of the calves at a princely salary of 11 £ a year. The job was no sinecure; he drove all calves to the common at sunrise and separated each to its home at sunset. In the list of the first selectmen of Hampton his name ap­pears among five. This was error, perhaps arising from his position keeping calves. He had a share in the Common, the gift of Henry Dow. In 1663 the shares were Henry Dow ab 1, Daniel Dow 1, bought from Nicholas Boulter, Henry's widow 1.

The original of Henry's will is on file in Salem, Mass. It reads:

The last Will and testament of Henry Dowe of Hampton, being sick and weake of body but sound of understanding and memorie:

The estate was carefully administered, as was customary in those days, and the appraisal made by three disinterested experts. Some of the valuations now seem very high, some very low. Salt marsh, for its hay very easy to cut, was the most valuable land and its abundance was the primary cause of choosing Hampton for settlement. On the inven­tion of the mowing machine, salt marsh fell in a year from very high prices to almost nothing

THE BOOK OF DOW 35

Henry Dow ab. Nature qualified him richly for headship of the family, the responsibilities of which were shared before his father's death. He was in many ways a remarkable man and had the makings of a nation­al figure, had his lot fallen in times of greater political freedom or in an environment where the government was shared by a people instead of under the iron fist of some thoroughly venal, conscienceless, grafting, British political appoilntee, and an almost equally dictatorial local min­ister, church and town being one. As it was, he was for his whole mature life the most powerful, the most prominent figure in Hampton, with a career not wholly local, but often touching the whole province, especially during the brief period when New Hampshire was distinct from Mass-

, achusetts. Without education, be became on the whole a scholarly man. Without training, he was a diplomat and courtier, altho p.ever giving up the independence of his own soul, his sense of right, and the rights of his fellow citizens. He was a gentleman in all senses of the word, and was so classed in the system of caste where the gentry and yeomen were as far apart as in England.

His duties under the will of his father were fully, liberally carried out. Two months after his father's death he m Hannah Page dau of Robert and Lucy, American-born in 1641, whose father was first deacon of Hampton church. There seems no likelihood that this family was related to the Page of Hingham. Hannah d Aug 6, 1704. Her husband, then town clerk, wrote "one just in her generation."

After her death Capt Henry, then 70, selected within three months a second wife, a friend of 47 years standing. She was Mary Hussey, dau of Capt Christopher, wid of Thomas Page, Henry's brother in law. Of her when she d ae 95, Jan 21, 1732-3, the Boston newspaper said, "a gracious gentlewoman." She was indeed a lady of great charm. Capt Christopher Hussey m Theodate Bachiler and thus she was of a truth the grand dau of Hampton's first citizen. Her 2nd husband was Judge and Councillor Henry Green, who d Aug 5, 1700, Esqr, aged above 80 years, for seuerall years a member of the Counsill until by age he layd downe that place but a justice till he died. Of Christopher Hussey it may be said that John Greenleaf Whittier was fond of recalling descent from him.

For a brief time his wife accompanied her 3rd husband to public functions, in which he had to take always a prominent part. The whole life of Henry Dow was political and social; he was truste<i all his life with public and private interests; yet he was never accused of lack of piety or neglect of duty. He understood the artof avoiding making enemies.

Almost from the first he was as financially prosperous as one's am­bition could require. After first marriage, the cost of living was met with much versatility of labor. He continued to ope.rate the family farm, and until his stepmother remarried maintained the homestead for the entire family. He acquired an interest in a home-made vessel and in a

36 THE BOOK OF DOW

boat-building business. He kept a general store, albeit a clerk was always necessary for an over-busy man. An account book of this store is extant, giving purchases of stock, which he always made in person, and the credit granted very generally to all Hampton. Almost all farm products were listed at fixed prices and passed as currency. It was Henry Dow's business to take these products, and transport them to Boston or other wide market, taking pay in merchandise or credit. This naturally could be best done on vessels of his own. As timber was a vital constituent of the trade, he became part-owner of a saw mill, making frequent entries in his diary of the number of feet sawn and the kinds of timber. He did some land-surveying, altho his brother Joseph was the expert at that. In 1686 he was admitted and sworn as an attorney an,d paid his fee. Thereafter he invariably acted for the town in all litigation. His military connection from 1689 brought probably no revenue; his town offices a trifle. When he had completed ten years as town clerk, he was voted 40s as compensation for the whole time. His service as selectman was six years in all from 1661 to 1698.

His court service was long and varied. He began as an assistant clerk. During the administrations of Andros and Dudley he was one of the justices of the court for New Hampshire; in 1695 justice of the inferior court of Common Pleas, re-appointed two years later. He was senior justice from 1699 until his death in 1707, and from 1702 a mand­amus councillor. In addition to all this, he remained town clerk until two years before his death.

His military career began as a private under Capt Joseph Gardiner for the Narragansett campaign Feb 29, 1675-6. He does not appear to have fought. He r'3ceived 1 £ 16s for service, probably in transportation of troops. He was not in the Swamp fight. He was ensign of Hampton militia from 1689, captain in 1692, commissioned by Sir William Phipps, on whose staff he was; he was chosen for a naval attack on Quebec. Fighting Indians was a constant affair for years and most troublesome. He was in command of the system of block houses around the town. Sept 29, 1691, he wrote to Major Robert Pike:

Sir: We have received intelligence from Sandybeach (now Rye) that since 12 o'clock this day the enemy have killed or carried away 16 persons of whom old goodman Brackett's and goodman Rand's families have the greatest blow. The messengers that brought this news, on returning home about the time the moon did rise this night, at a place called Raggyneck. about half a mile this side of Sandybeach garrison, they do affirm to me they saw, as they adjudged, about 40 enemies com­ing toward Hampton with five or six canoes on their heads, which caused them to come back to Hampton again, and brought us word of it; lest they should come along with their canoes in the night and do damage to ..

So with respects presented to you, I remain your loving friend and servant,

Henry Dow

A diary which he kept for many years has become famous, altho the little leather-covered book which he kept in his pocket contains much of petty personal items of no public interest. It was kept in a cipher in­vented by himself, a sort of short hand, the key to which has been worked out only recently, and there are many arbitrary signs, not letters, not yet understood. Some entries contain much secret political history of the time. Two pages are torn out, probably by himself, for their date is at the time of Mr. Weare's mission to England. The administration of Gov Cranfield had become too wicked for endurance. There had been trouble from the first and the Governor's deputy had been escorted out of town with a rope around. his neck. The prominence and probity of Mr. Weare made him the best envoy to the King and he carried a long list of complaints charging snecific dishonesties, cruelties and malfeas­ances. Henry Dow did his l share in drawing up these complaints. Discovery by a spy of Cran' d might have laid him liable to any degree of punishment on a char~ of treason, and the high judges were appointees of Cranfield.

Sometimes the entries che simplest: "1687 :-millions of streaked worms this year." Therf e details about his farm work, an account of a huge tree struck by lightning, launching of a vessel in whlch he was part owner, the number of cedar logs sawn at his mill during some month, items of labor on public works, details of tax rates which he had to make up and afterwards collect, the day's doings at the Assembly, consultations with high officials, hasty political or business trips to Haverhill, Ipswich, Newbury or Boston. During the Indian fights he kept track of those who were faithful and those who skimped garrison-watching duty, those who were derelict in other ways. He records drilling his company and teaching them tactics. He is at the head of his company in the field. It is a marvel how the restless man found time to eat or sleep. He was Vice­Marshal of Norfolk Co, deputy to the General Assembly, Clerk of the House, Speaker pro tem, and more besides. From his diary or public records fifty errands are mentioned,--on committee to sue Nath Boulter for trespass on the rights of the Commons, committee to keep dry cattle off the Commons, attorney for the town in the Huggins land suit and then on committee to secure to Huggins his rights won at law from Boulter, who had foolishly bought land from Mason, the claimant whose title, if good at all, covered the whole province of New Hampshire. In 1685 he made a census of the town,-707 humans including 5 slaves, 202 living on the south, or Seabrook side. In 1682 he was the scapegoat to

38 THE BOOK OF DOW

resist a tax illegally levied by the Colonial Council. A warrant was issued given to the notorious Constable Barefoote to arrest Capt Henry Dow and keep him in jail until the tax was paid. What actually happened is n\ot recorded, but a receipt for the tax is dated four months latj:lr. At this time the Government was rebuked from England. He was chairman of committees in 1689 and 1690 to consult with simifar committees of other tqwns to fix upon common plans of government during the un­certainty whether the region should become a separate province of New Hampshire or remain part of Mass. Capt Henry favored re-union with Mass. It was voted to uphold the common law of England and the King's statutes until final decision was made in favor of the colonial statutes of one or the other.

The will of William Moulton of Hampton, dated Mch 8, 1663, says: "I do make, Costitute and appoint my louing father in law Robert Page, yeoman and my louing Brother in law henery Dow to bee my lawful Exe­quetors, etc." It was he who had charge of paying the minister's sal­ary, and he noted very carefully when that reverend gentleman overdrew by three months. It was his duty to tabulate the increased cost of liv­ing due to the depreciation of the currency. The minister asked for a raise and submitted a long list of simple necessities once costing 3d but risen to as many shillings. The minister got the raise. Capt Henry was. on the committee to build a parsonage and was messenger of the chur< h to assist in the ordination of a new minister in Exeter. On the side were missions to conduct the litigation over the Salisbury border, to define the boundaries of Hampton, to re-survey th~ Exeter-Hampton line, to fight against the encroachments of the newly organized town of Kingston, to litigate against the claims of Newcastle for a strip of Hampton land, attempting to fevy taxes twice over, to serve on a committee to in­vestigate the feasibility of a straighter, better road to Po.rtsmouth.

Forty days before his death he sat in Council for the last time. He d at home May 6, 1707, three score, ten and 3, in times when men wore out but never had a chance to rust out. The stone over his grave in Hamp­ton churchyard is gone long since, but the spot is known, quite close to the longest lived stone in Hampton, lasting until the present century, inscribed to Susanna, wife of Robert Smith, Slaine by ye thunder, June 12, 1680

his father as town clerk, holding the office until his death; was once representative to the General Court; selectman six years in all. He car,­ried on the home farm, owned shares in vessels, notably the 40-ton home­built brigantine. Most prized of all was his diaconate, which came in 1711. A subscription of 32£ ls was raised for additional communion silver, and Dea Dow was chosen to go to Boston by ship and select it. He was voted 20s for the expenses of the trip. He bought eight silver beakers or cups for 29£, and these are still in possession of the successor church, a bone of contention when it split a century later into a Congregational and a Presbyterian. The meeting house being constricted, he was on a com­mittee "for to give Liberty to those men that w{l Apeare for to build Puese in the Hinder Seates in the meeting house." In 1711 he layd off twelve acres for a parsonage for the Quakers, not a pleasant task for the orthodox deacon, altho his cousins were all leading Quakers. The church arrangements were that Deacon Samuel Dow was to tune the psalm in the forenoon, Dea John Tuck and Dea Dow to read the psalms in the afternoon. Now, Dea Tuck was a small man, with high-pitched voice, Dea Dow burly and deep of tone: One may imagine the rendition of the then used version of 102nd Psalm,-Dea Tuck bordering on falsetto:

"I'm like unto a pelican."

Dea Dow in basso profundo:

"And like an owl am I."

It was at a later date that the attempt was first made to sing the hymn without lining it but by the congregation all together. The first results were painful. One aged man arose and addressed the minister: "Reverend sir, do you allow all this?" Another shrieked: "Toll the bell, ye devils, toll the bell." The most aged of 4,he vociferous protestors against the innovation felt so badly at his own temerity that, 'after a night's reflection, he went voluntarily before a magistrate, complained of himself for a breach of the peace and was fined ls.

To compete with the junior deacon was no easy task, for Dea Tuck was greatly devoted to the scriptures. He was a carpenter, later a miller, 1J,nd cultivated a farm at the same time. Yet, he found tim:e to read the Bible from cover to cover twelve times during his diaconate. In his diary, still preserved, is an entry: "The 13th day of February, 1677, I began to read ye Bible through and I read it all through from ye 1st chapter of Gennesis to ye last chapter of Revelations: by ye 18th day of December, John Tuck."

The one appearance of Dea Samuel in law was as deputy to contest the claim of one Allen, inherited from Mason on an old royal grant of all the land in Hampton (for that matter, all of New Hampshire). It vn,ai;i in the line of his surveying that he was on the commtttee to divide up the

west common into lots, and to ascertain to date the rightful owners of the much confused Cow Commons. For fifty years that pasture was the most troublesome land in the province, never free from litigated claim.

Joseph Dow abbee, squire Dow, was town clerk for 35 years, suc­ceeding his father and grandfather. Without being a politician, he was all his life in positions of town trust; selectman 1760 and 1775; signed Association Test; on committee to arrange money allowances to those who enlisted. In 1797 the church property was divided between the Congregationalists and Presbyterians, and he was chairman of the com­mittee to make the division. All Hampton Dow remained Congregational.

cord, Dr Edward Spaulding of Nashua, Hon James F Joy of Detroit, John Ford LL D, and others of distinction. He became principal of Pembroke Academy for 4 years; then in charge of the Gardiner, Me, Lyceum. The panic of 1837 came and next year this school went down in the general crash. He then taught in academies at West Machias, Pompey, N Y, and elsewhere until in 1862 he retired to his native Hamp­ton. He was commissioned Maj of militia in 1867 by Gov Isaac Hill; was justice of the peace and quorum throughout the State. One of his first duties on return to Hampton was to make a new survey of the town. In 1860 he was elected president of the N H Historical Society. He en­gaged in probate and other legal business, which brought him in contact with the old wills and deeds of Hampton. From 1852 to his death he devoted himself to writing the History of Hampton, which was almost :finished. His daughter completed it within a year and published it. Little sale was anticipated for the two-volume work and the edition was small. It was not "pushed." After several years Miss Dow sold the "remain­der" for a trifle to a dealer. For years it was obtainable at about orig­inal price, $7.00. It is now worth about treble that. That the book is the finest example of a New England town history is everywhere conceded. No equal genealogical effort has ever been accomplished.

Joseph G Dow abbegbdf volunteered 1846 for the Mexican war, his regiment stationed NY City and taking 6 mos around the Horn to San Francisco. While stationed at Sonoma he met Mary Ann Crouch, whom he m Apr 20, 1850. This energetic young woman b near Craw­fordsville, Ind, not satisfied with her step mother ran away, joined a fam­ily of neighbors and drove an ox cart all the way to Sonoma, a journey of over 6 mos. She was a grand dau of James Crouch, Rev veteran, and was living Spokane 1923 ae 92. Mustered out of the army, Joseph be­came a pioneer temperance lecturer, traveling all over the Pacific slope. For three-quarters of a century the American use of the word temperance seems confined to total abstinence from alcohol. It is rather notable that the pioneers in this line in Maine and California were both Dows. Lecturing on temperance, however, could not furnish a livelihood, but Joseph was an able worker between times. In 1878 the Northern Pacific R R was approaching Spokane and Joseph took a contract for con­structing a division. This was done quite profitably for both parties and Joseph took up land at Larene, where he d June 19, 1885.

Of these three senior lines from Capt Henry Dow ab, the eldest long identified with Hampton, the second· going to Vermont, the third pene­trating upstate as pioneers, one notices a common tendency,-lst to mar­ry for several generations among a small number of old families, new blood being uncommon; second, to approach, if not reach extinction of the male line; a rejuvenescence seen when some branch goes west. Hamp­ton has not been a Dow home for many years; a few are left, but are the elderly ones.

F ROM the second son of Capt. Henry Dow ab, the line divides once, the senior branch identified for a little time with Hampton, then going upstate into new territory, the junior going a brief dis­

tance to Rye and becoming almost extinct. That is to say,-the male lines; for the female lines we have no data.

Simon Dow abc lived where Moses Swett Lamprey was living 1890. · He served only two years as selectman, but, in compensation, as it were,­was chairman of the committee appointed to build a barn on the parson­age lot. As constable he was rigorous; he is on record .as never skim­ping garrison duty and rendered a good account of himself in the Indian fights. Hem 1st Nov 5, 1685, Sarah Marston b Nov 20, 1665, d Mch 8, 1698, dau of Thomas and Mary (Easton), and cousin of the wife of his older brother. He m May 29, 1700, Mehitable Green, dau of Isaac and Mary (Cass). He made a will Sept 11, 1707, making his brother Jabez executor, leaving to his wife Mehitable land between that of his brothers Samuel and Jabez "toward Hampton Beach, commonly known as the Capt Dow pasture, a marsh given to me, by my Honor'd father." His will mentions all the children except Henry, who was posthumous. A marriage intention is between O Page and Mahittabill Dow and a sub­sequent entry Henry Dow, son of Solomon and Mehetable, now wife of Onesiphorus Page, d Dec 30, 1727.

Jeremiah Dow abccd, yeoman of Hampton, bought July 6, 1770, land next east of the parade of Northwood Center, then Nottingham, and lived on it until Jan 11, 1773, when he sold it to Valentine Keniston. Probably then moved to Kensington. He was 52 at the outbreak of the war, but, like many others of similar age, enlisted promptly for the de­fense of the coast towns; impossible to determine positively the identi­ties of the four or five Jeremiahs who fought, but it was surely he who, with John Dow and Richard Dow, was in Capt Elkins' company for de­fense of Portsmouth, unable to write, signing "his mark." Only pos­sibly was he the Jeremiah who enlisted July 1775 under Capt Henry Dearborn, Col John Stark, or who was in Capt Abraham Drake's militia, receipting Dec 1, 1777, for 3£ 10s 8d.

Benjamin B Dow abccdf, whose youth was spent in Kensington, was apprenticed Feb 13, 1774, for 6 years, 7 days, to Asahel Blake of Northwood. His middle name seldom appears. His apprenticeship ended abruptly at the beginning of the war, he making his subsequent home with Walter Bryant of Newmarket. He received 4£ 10s bounty for first enlistment and re-enlisted at least twice. July 1, 1777, marched 5 days toward Ticonderoga, Capt Duncan, Lieut Col Moses Kelly. In 1781 received $182. 60 allowance for depreciation of currency, the Con­tinental paper falling to about 1¼ per cent of its face, later becoming worthless. Feb 14, 1781, he was under Capt Sartwell.

After the war, Benjamin became the subject of considerable liti­gation between the towns claiming credit for his services. In his last muster roll he is entered as of Northwood. Kensington and Newmarket claimed him. Simon, his brother, deposed that Benjamin had been apprenticed by their father to one Blake of Northwood, whence he went to Cambridge and "'listed for one year"; that when he was not in ser­vice he always stayed with Walter Bryant, for whom Simon worked, and that he never went to Northwood except for one night to settle with his master [for his broken apprenticeship] and one short visit to Hampton, where he had been born. The deposition of Walter Bryant, of lawfull age, testifieth & Saith that Benjamin Dow, a soldier in the army, hav­ing a brother a Sarvent with the Deponant, soposed that he made his house his home and accordingly always looked for him to come to his the Deponant's house as he hath from time to time and staid about six weeks at a time. About four years ago the Deponant and said Benjamin hath conversed about his belonging to Newmarket; said he expected Newmarket would do something for him, as he was returned for New­market; and he had Cloaths made in my house & washed there & Cloths Left there and there now: Walter Bryant sworn July 18, 1781.

THE BOOK OF DOW 63

It seems easy to read between the lines that Benjamin was a simple­hearted, likable youth who failed to inherit his share of the abilities of bis grandsires. He was entitled to, and presumably received 160 acres of land under the act of 1783; he may still be found among disconnected Dow of some interior town, but so far no record known can be attributed safely to him.

Simon Dow abccdg was paid for 3 mos military service in 1781; m Newmarket July 23, 1786, Agibail Murray (Murry in rec) of Stratham b Newmarket 1765, d Barnstead Jan 1820.

If any romance be built out of genealogical memoirs, it might be of those who lived on the New Hampshire coast and followed the sea. No man knew when he embarked on glassy water, whether he would come back or figure among the missing; storms were bad, fogs worse. Hundreds of dories put out from schooner for cod and drifted in the fog until engulfed by swell or perished from thirst, hunger or cold, while the parent schooner cruised for days in vain search. In every town along the coast some spot on the dunes was a cemetery with half its stones over empty graves,-commemorating "lost at sea." Every schooner load of fishermen left behind a score of wives and babies, some unborn, as in the case of Jeremiah Dow, half expectant of being wido'wed or orphaned. It was custom that those who survived should care for the families of those who did not.

So with John Taylor Dow. His oldest son lost at sea; having a whole brood of his own, he m a widow of the sea, adopting her children and adding more of his own until the total was 11. In old age he went back a little from the shore, but still within easy walk of the water. No matter how many fish in the sea, no matter how plentifully potatoes grew in the sandy soil, it was no easy task to fill a dozen hungry young mouths. Let us hope he was kind to all his younkers:

FROM No Hampton, a village which has never grown up, but re­mains about what it was two centuries ago, to Rye is a short step. For a century and a half the Dow family of Rye was

large and influential, among the local aristocracy. Characteristically, just as in Hampton, it has absolutely disappeared, the male lines almost extinct.

About 1754 they moved to a farm in Kensington, close to or possibly across the Kingston line. Here he served as deacon. He does not appear in Association Test; in 1790 census 3a, 3c, the rest of the family married and gone. He d 1796; will dated 1787 and mentions wife Sarah; children Mehitable, Abigail, Elizabeth, Nathaniel; grandson Samuel Barnard. Sarah Weare Dow d about 1798. Son Nathaniel was executor of both wills. The list of children seems complete from Hampton Falls rec. We cannot place a Reuben Dow of Kensington who appears in 1790 census, and in a few scattering mentions as a prominent citizen. The early Kensington rec are in deplorable condition, would be hopeless were it not that Rev Jeremiah Fogg, Kensington incumbent for many years, kept his own rec of births, baptisms, marriages and deaths at

1which he officiated. Ken­

sington rec gives 3 children of Nathaniel but without giving name or sex­d 1739, d 1749 ae 12, d 1749 ae 4:

a Nathaniel b Nov 14, 1730; a genealogical stumbling block; does not appear in Rev rosters, nor in Association Test, nor in 1790 census. He was executor for both parents 1796 and 1798. One would presume he had posterity

It is possible that Susannah is error for Hannah and the marriage 4 or 5 years later than indicated by the stated birthdate of 1st born. These children:

Asahel Dow abcfl appears in Kensington 1790 census la, 2b, 3c. His wife (family rec) was a Miss Bradish. If Asahel is the youngest, surely not b before I 770,' he surely had to speed up to be a father of 4 in 1790. Presumably he was not the youngest born.

JABEZ DOW abd, weaver of Hampton, a by no means unimportant trade in those days, was thrifty and bought the Hampton estate of his cousin, who had gone to Ipswich. His homestead was

where Jacob D Godfrey lived in 1890. He served 9 years in all as select­man, generally alternating years; between times he was almost invari­ably moderator of town meeting. As a fighter he appears well in Indian scrimmages and was captain of militia in King William's War. Alto­gether, he maintained the family standing in Hampton. In 1715 he was elected deputy to the General Court, but after election it was remembered that he was already constable. So another deputy was chosen. Each sheep. owner had his distinguishing mark.

THE BOOK OF DOW 81

3, 1736, Elizabeth, wife of Ezekiel Dow, made a public confession of adultery, which was formally accepted and she was restored to com­munion. This church rec is among those published long ago. At first it seems rather serious, considering the times; but an examination of the church rec show that almost every young married woman had made a similar confession; that all were thereupon restored to communion. Genealogical writers pass rather completely over published data of this sort, genealogy being generally a sop to family vanity. ·writers, instead, are inclined to fill in with paragraphs about the remarkable purity and sweetness of each individual. Now, if genealogy is of value at all, it is because it permits a study of heredity. If manners and customs are distorted or omitted, the value of the work becomes little.

Century in and century out, the proportion of births of 1st born within nine months of marriage is large and not very varying. The proportion was not smaller in 1730 than 1830. A few authors mention "bundling," but this practice had no hold in New England, altho beds were scarce and distances so long that a fiance was almost compelled to stay over night.

The posterity of C3:pt Henry Dow ab is probably not a fifth as large as that of his brother Joseph or his brother Thomas. One notes that, of the male lines, not more are living today than in 1723 and much fewer than in 1800. Under present conditions it takes an average of about 3¼ children to each family to perpetuate the race, provided that that number reaches 21 years.

FOLLOWING the death of Henry Dow a, his wid m 2nd Oct 23, 1661, Richard Kimball of Ipswich, whose large family had grown into homes of their own. Richard, a wealthy man for his times,

was a bit of a "tightwad," making a prenuptial contract that his wife should have 50 £ and the "stuff she brought with her." He d 1675, his will probated Sept 28, inventorying about 4,000£. Margaret Cole Dow Kimball d Mch 1, 1675. She took to Ipswich all but the oldest of her own children, leaving three Dows to make the Hampton family.

Josehp Dow ad, first Dow b in America, then 22, had been self­supporting some years, his property interests already considerable and growing. He continued ari important factor in Hampton life until in 1683 he voluntarily withdrew, a Quaker, from public life and, with asso­ciates, moved to the southerly part of Hampton, then almost without a population. The new home extended into what is now fixed as Salis­bury, Mass, and into what is now Hampton Falls. Most of the new Qua­ker colony lay within the present boundaries of Seabrook. The Dow family sprung from Seabrook is the largest of any. Nearly one-fifth of all Dow in America are of Quaker Stock.

While Joseph was at' all times less influential in public affairs than his older brother, he was a man of much force of character, of natural leadership, whose influence upon the destinies of the Province can be dis­tinctly traced. His persecution in 1683 had more to do than any other single cause with the removal of the notorious Governor Cranfield and the inauguration of a somewhat more liberal government, altho he was but one of a dozen who appealed successfully to the English King. He was sergeant of militia and saw much fighting against the Indians. He held this position May 31, 1671, when, with all the officers of Norfolk Co., he petitioned the General Court for the retention of their former major (Mass Archives, vol 67, pp 56-7, provincial series).

A farmer, as were all,- he turned to many lines. There is preserved in the N H Historical Society a steel trap, belonging to him, the first ever imported into America. Muskrat and mink fur was abundant in Hamp­ton. Ability to survey land was not a common accomplishment before 1800, and Joseph bought in England the best compass and other equip­ment that the time knew. This was inherited by his son Samuel. His town offices were few. He appears on the grand jury 1676; Feb 12, 1669, appointed to survey the Exeter-Hampton line, a source of trouble; in 1671 to make additional survey of that line; in 1680 to lay out the marshes. This also was highly important, as the salt hay wlis the largest single source of individual income. Appointed Dec 16, '1680, to rebuild the municipal saw mill. In vol 17, Rev Rolls, p 632, isi: "At a Councill

90 THE BOOK OF DOW

held 20th October 1693, Ordered that the Bounds of this Province from three miles Northward of Merrimack River be run off on the 14th of No­vember next according to the order of Council made last March & that notice be given to the Govern'r & that Mr Joseph Dow & Capt Joseph Smith be Com'rs for the same and that they be payd by the Treasurer out of the Public Re_;enue & that they make a returne thereof to this board." This was an important step in the history of the Province, altho it was litigated for the next half century. New Hampshire boundary was a line three miles north of the river, but its bed was tortuous and sometimes shifting. For many years Mass had claimed much more than its possible maximum and had levied taxes. The survey of 1693 added a long tier of farms to Hampton and extended about 20 miles. West of this, subsequent surveys until 1741 were made by many authorities. Curiously, the surveyor who laid off the straight line west to NY State did not allow properly for the variation of his compass, so that at ·the west extremity a wedge seven miles thick was put into Mass, belonging properly to Vt. This includes the whole township of Williamstown. The final survey of 1741 made the greatest change. From Haverhill was taken land constituting two new townships, Salem and Plaistow. This is important to anyone who traces the Haverhill Dow. In many cases a man bin Haverhill, din Plaistow, altho he never left his house. Eight Dow families were so shifted from · one Province to the other.

Aug 25, 1701, not quite two years before his death, Josep_h Dow was chosen one of the trustees for the land ordered set off for a meeting house for "those Christian people called 'Quakers.' " The events leading up to this are by far the most important in the history of over 10,000 Dows.

The first Quakers to reach America were two female preachers com­ing to Boston July 1656. A woman preacher was more than the ortho­dox puritan could endure, they holding.in law and fact that woman should be seen and not heard. Apart from sex, the propaganda threatened to interfere with the iron rule of the local ministers, whose control had been unquestioned, more absolute than the papacy had ever been. Other Quaker preachers followed so rapidly that in less than ten years the Gov­ernment yielded to clamor and took extreme measures, combatting the heresy with as much vehemence as they had witchcraft. Laws were enacted rendering Quakers liable to have their ears cut off, thei!r tongues bored with hot irons, and many other inflictions according to prevailing ideas of Christian charity. The people were with the government. The good old lady who, when they told her a Quaker was being hanged, remarked, "and serve him right", and went on reading her Bible, was typiQa.l.

The act which brought the new idea into Hampton occurred 1662. The constables of each town from Dover to Dedham were ordered to "take these vag8'bond Quakers (Alice Ambrose, Anna Colman, Mary

THE BOOK OF DOW 93

Tompkins, young women) and make them fast to the cart's tail, and draw­ing the cart through your several towns, to whip them upon their naked backs not exceeding ten stripes on each of them in each town, and so con­vey them out of this jurisdiction."

This order was carried out in Dover, Hampton 11nd Salisbury, to the everlasting shame of its citizens. In Salisbury, one Walter Barefoote, later a constable, as precious a scoundrel as ever remained unhanged, performed his almost praiseworthy act; took the women from the con­stable under pretense of delivering them to the next and secretly got them out of the Province. This proceeding entailed some risk. A jailer one day allowed a Quaker prisoner to go home, on his promise to return the next day. Emboldened by the man's keeping his word, he gave a similar parole to a non-Quaker, imprisoned for debt. This man fled the Province. The jailer lost his position, was mulcted of all his property until he and his family were absolutely destitute. He went insane under the strain and was for 25 years a wanderer dependent on public charity.

Half of the men of Hampton had come from England to escape from persecution on account of their religious beliefs by those who adhered to the Established Church, many fleeing to Holland to save their own lives and limbs. Yet, in less than a full generation, these very men (all the ruling class of them) had become persecutors of those who differed in faith, much more relentless, much more barbarous than their own persecutors had been. It must be imagined that there were a few in Hampton who looked upon this infamous whipping with horror, who in an uncharitable age held some vague notion of the milk of human kindness. Nothing makes religious converts like persecution. No one dared open his mouth in remonstrance, much less express sympathy with a new, strange faith which carried humility and forgiveness to an incomprehensible extent. But:-many thought it over. It was 30 years before it was legally safe to become a Quaker, and even after that it was suicidal for any am- . bitious man. It precluded service in army or militia, it was a bar to all political life, depending on popular election or not. It was social ostra­cism. Town and church were a unit, the minister the central figure. He above all fought the man or woman who did not yield blind subservi­ence to him. Against the Quaker, also, was discrimination in everyday business; the non-Quaker would not trade if he could find another market. Yet, the very night of that whipping there were waverers; in a dozen years a dozen citizens had more or less secretly embraced the faith. The leading spirits were Joseph Dow, sturdy and ever unafraid, and Ab­raham Perkins, son of Abraham, styled the Father of Hampton. Tra­dition says that Jo~eph joined in 1675, when he was 34. His wife was equally an enthusiast. In 1683 came trouble. Joseph and other jury­men, all Quakers, were passing the Governor's house ( the notorious Cran­field), we're invited in and friendely received, but on asking the question whether they might not when sworn (as before they had done) hold up

e,heir hands instead of kissing the Book, the Governor fell into a rage and asked them how they came there, to whom Dow replied "at your honor's invitation." Mr Cranfield complained of this matter to the next court as a riot. Dow was forced to give 100 £ bonds for his appearance next session. When Dow appeared nothing was alleged against him, he was discharged and his arms restored; but at another session, after Dow was called again on the same bond, and the penalty was enforced against him, he was forced to flee out of the province with his wife and nine children, leaving his house and goods, with the corn in the ground, to the Governor,

This paragraph is in the words embodied in the complaint against the Governor. It is only one in a hundred. Capt Henry Dow framed it and many others, taking up cudgels for his brother with diplomatic caution. It may be remembered that the two pages torn out of his secret diary are just of the dates to cover these matters. The two Dows and Mr Weare held many conferences, and Mr Weare undertook the journey to London, where he was at least half successful. Cranfield was at once transferred to a West Indian post, but the colony ran much risk of having as his successor the notorious Walter Barefoote.

Some amends for loss of crop were made to Joseph Dow, who return­ed in the fall of 1683, but this was not by Cranfield. The Friends met and quickly evolved a plan to sell out in Hampton village and move southward. Another small circle had come into existence in Amesbury, and a move in their direction might be advantageous. The new site had been carefully surveyed by Joseph Dow. As farm land it was as good as t~t in Hampton, barring the salt hay crop. It could be bought for a small fraction the cost of similar acreage near Hampton village. About this time Joseph was at the height of his material prosperity, so he bought as freely as his means afforded. He took 20 acres in Salisbury once owned by ffrancis Dow and about nine pieces in all, from 20 to 50 acres each. At a point just over the Seabrook border the first meeting house was put up, following plans made, no doubt, years previously. Here the community began as wholly Quaker. It made once and for all an impassable gulf between Hampton and Seabrook. Capt Henry Dow, astute political leader, ta~tful diplomat, could not be expected to show sympathy with the outcast faith; his son Dea Samuel Dow was orthodox of the orthodox. Between Henry and Joseph Dow, however, there was a lifelong brotherly love. No appeal from one to the other was ever disregarded. Thereafter, however, the two great genealogical lines never met. Quaker sought Quaker in marriage and dismissed such as married outside the Society. On the other hand, church people were seldom inclined to risk the social consequences of marrying into a Quaker family.

The record books of Hampton meeting begin 8 mo: 15: 1701, at Hampton. The meetings then alternated with Amesbury. For the house the town set off a piece from common land, Dea Samuel Dow abb

surveying the plot. Thomas Chase was the first keeper of the minutes. He, Abraham Green and Joseph Dow were the committee to oversee the building. The cost was defrayed by subscriptions, Aug 23, 1701, by Ben­jamin Brown, Joseph Chase, Thomas Chase, Joseph Dow, Josiah Dow, Abraham Green, Edmund Johnson, James Stanyan, John Stanyan, Moses Swett, Christian Williams. For several years trouble was had with the town authorities over the minister's tax. The Books record seizures by force of property to pay the salary "of the priest of the hireling minis­try,"-John Collins 1703, Henry Dow 1703 and 1705, Joseph Dow Jr 1703, Jacob Morel (Morrill) 1701, James Purington 1705, Richard Smith 1701, Ezeakel Wathen (Worthen) of Amesbury 1702 and 1703. These seizures were serious matters, the property taken generally much in excess of the tax. Once the seizure was sold for more than double the tax. The balance was proffered to the victim, who refused to touch it. It lay on his mantel and next year was seized for the new tax. The first marriage in the Society was that of John Peasley of Haverhill and Mary Martin of Amesbury, 1: 5mo: 1705. It took place in Thomas Barnard's house after, at the previous monthly meeting, Thomas Nickolls and Joshua Purington had been appointed a committee to inquire if they were free to marry. The register was signed by 47 guests as witnesses, including Mary, Hannah, Charety, Josias, Jeremiah, Joseph, Henery, and John Dow. In 1705 the Society meeting sent 3 delegates to the Rhode Island Yearly Meeting, Joseph Chase, Joshua Purington and Moses Swett. In 1705 a second meeting house was resolved upon, to be in Salisbury, and Henry Dow and Thomas Chalis were appointed to look for the land.

Record books up to 1758 are extant; all now preserved in the Brown School at Providence; about 1739 Philip Rowell kept them. Births, marriages and deaths at Berwick, Me, are often entered but there is a dearth of such records from home. Occasional dismissals for cause ;were made. In 1706 Samuel Cass was declared not to be in the true faith. Action signed by 14 men, including Henry and Jeremiah Dow. In 1707 John Colins was similarly disciplined, altho he was restored and even sent delegate to the Salem 1715 Quarterly Meeting. This action was signed by 18, including Henry, Jeremiah, Charety, Mary and Thomas Dow. This was the first time women voted in such matters.

By the time the second generation of Quakers had grown old, the membership in Seabrook had become very small. Lack of religion of any kind was one cause. Another was that the more ambitious men of Seabrook moved away. In the decay of about 1840 nearly all abandoned the meetings. Of the ada line, those who remained in Seabrook had no taste for religious meetings, the others had moved away. The adb line was consistent, but all moved away to become the Quaker Dow of Maine, a large number of them, but after 1840 they all drifted out, generally into the churches. The adf line was steadfast, but moved away in 1737. All the adg line abandoned the faith, any faith. The adh line was most stead-

94 THE BOOK OF DOW

fast of all, but all except one junior line became pioneers of the new Quaker colony in Weare. The cl:iildren of adk were all baptized into the church at the demand of their mother. Today there is not a single Friend in the adb line; of the adh line there is a single family in Bolton, Mass, consistent from 1675. Another reason was that the young people found the meeting house dull and preferred the slender social opportuni­ties of the church circles. Those who moved away often found them­selves in communities far from meeting house and soon drifted into churches. The colony from Weare who went to Lincoln, Vt, all drifted out for this reason.

The denominational preferences of the whole Dow family embrace the whole field. Only two cases are found of reversion to the older Ro­man Catholic. The Protestant Episcopalians are many and it is the rule that once in that denomination, the later generations continue. It drew considerably from the Quakers. The Methodists were at first very ex­ceptional; embraced by some single individual, the rest of the family strongly dissenting. The plurality are Congregationalists, because in rural New England that is often the only church in a whole township. The Presbyterians are mainly those who came in contact with the only village churches in Connecticut. Various controversies made big changes. About 1800 there was a world-wide controversy over free will vs predes­tination. The free will Baptists gained enormously through it. Durin~ the last century the Unitarians and Universalists have gained many earnest, thoughtful Dows. Until well into the 19th century almost no one, even the irreligious, failed to attend weekly church, for the Sunday meet­ing was the one social opportunity of the week, and even the chance· to transact important business between sermons. Farmers were too hard­working, too separated to swap cattle except on the day of rest.

A community isolated as was Seabrook is sure to degenerate. The Quakers came there first for the sake of that isolation. Later, inhabit­ants came for the same result but" from a wholly different cause. Those who were intolerable in town found freedom in the neck of Seabrook, on three sides being the ocean. For a few years the high Quaker standards prevailed, ethical, moral, business and private. No courts were needed, no hasty marriages to legitimatize an unborn child, no debts incurred. But that could not endure. The isolated community is unavoidably poor. As the next generation of Quakers felt all the more the sting of poverty, they lost the keen edge of supporting faith. The Seabrook farm, origin­ally supporting, say, four, now had to keer> eight. Either one must go outside for employment or do with almost nothing. In either case the handiest remedy is drink. Soon the inner side of Seabrook degenerated into about the toughest place in America. On the Hampton Falls border, the place kept fair, people with averagely high principles, average standards of education, with pride in themselves and their ancestry.

Within it was all too different. The land was poor, mixed with sand.

THE BOOK OF DOW 95

By fishing and by driftwood one satisfied hunger and need for warmth. Miserable huts became the rule. Here compulsory education could never come, religious observance nil. marriages mostly by the justice of the peace. Hard cider cost only the labor of pressing it from half wild apples; rum was cheap. But, no matter how primitively one lives, a little money is needed each year for the tax collector. The "red necked" Seabrook men soon found how to get it. They became, and are today, the most expert slipper makers in the world. They worked wholly by the piece, going weekly to Newburyport to deliver finished goods and receive raw material, buy a little food and much liquor. Amid squalid surroundings these people produced slippers, the kinds used only by mil­lionaires and demi-mondaines, jeweled, of gold cloth, seed pearls, often costing several hundred dollars a pair. Between slippers, the pec,ple fish­ed or played. Clearly, this was no place for an ambitious man. As soon as the French and Indian War was ended and the interior ~made safe, all the best moved from Seabrook to pioneer towns.

About sixty years ago William Rand, living in 1920, studied to become a foreign missionary; proposing as a matter of course, to take whatever foreign assignment might be offered. After a final survey of the whole field, Rand decided that no place was in.ore benighted than South Seabrook. He married a Miss Eaton, a native, and entered upon a ministry to last over sixty years. Little by little he worked for cleaner homes, for less whiskey, a little more school, and, at last, a little more Sunday observance.

The greatest regeneration, however, came from economic cause. Two young men of Newburyport, of the agdx line were heirs to the old homestead in Seabrook. They wished to start a shoe factory and decided to use the homestead for this purpose. The result was very satis­factory. Labor was plenty at hand and good. Soon, the business grew greatly. The Seabrookites went less and less to Newburyport; they became little by little more interested in their homes. Gardens started; schools began. The factory burned, but had to be rebuilt at once, and several big Haverhill manufacturers located branches in Seabrook. In 1921 the town looked quite attractive, quite neat. Homes were gener­ally unassuming. Folks still marry young, younger than at most places now. There are lots of children, no where more.

All these are recorded in Hampton. Joseph's will mentions all sur­viving; it was probated Apr 19, 1703, and appointed Josiah his executor, he being the best business man. Josiah is enjoined to teach Samuel weaving and to provide for him until of age. He also mentions "grand­son Philip who lived with me."

Joseph Dow ada was in young manhood sgt of militia and saw con­siderable Indian fighting. He made a rather brpliant marriage,-to Mary Challis b Aug 27, 1668, d May 14, 1697 (one of 12 children), dau of Lieut Philip and Mary (Sargent) of Amesbury.

Left a widower, Joseph Dow could not expect to make a second mar­riage as brilliantly as his first, for the Quaker col<;my was then holding very much al~of. Neve~theless, he was in the primp\of manhood, of promise, and, as 'times went, of considerable propefty.. That he sank into obscurity is partly due to the surrender of his own ambition, partly to the Seabrook environment. Seabrook had few records of its own and was becoming forgotten by the rest of the world. Joseph's 2nd m and 2nd family were unknown until 1918, altho a number of Dow were known, unplaced but near to him. A recent search of court rec in Salem cleared up a mystery which has been the despair of Dow genealogists for forty years. It is now known that Joseph lived in his own home until his death

· fo 1134. His farm was near those of his brothers Jeremiah and Henry, ;.:th~ three being parts of a single property owned by their father. It was · he who first spied the Indians in the great raid of Aug 17, 1703, and ran giving the alarm to the nearest blockhouse. ,Vhile this raicl was e~gineered by the French government of Canada, it is worthy of note that Joseph's family did not suffer from, it. Perhaps this ,vas due to

. Joseph's Indian wife. The second marriage took place between 1698 and 1703. It is a

. vague tradition that Joseph Dow had disapproved and would not recog­

. nize ,the bride. However, Joseph Jr soon received his full share of inher­itance. The bride was Hannah, a child taken from her Indian parents with full permission by a Seabrook Quaker family to be brought up and educated as a Christian. Such were becoming quite customary, and as a rule the girls became valuable members of the community. This, how­ever, is the only recorded mixed marriage in Seabrook. Hannah proved a good wife and mother; as wid Hannah Dow she appears on the Hamp­ton Falls tax books, paying on a small piece of real estate until 1751. This date probably marks her death. Vague tradition has it that she had two dau, besides the kno,vn four sons, and that a clau was 1st born. It appears under abbd that Abraham Sanborn m Abigail Dow, dau of Joseph. This may be error, and not Dow at all. If correct, she can only be dau of Joseph ada. The matter is too uncertain to appear in our letter key.

The four sons, known always as individuals, altho unplaced, are proved by Salem court rec, birthclates conjectured from various sources:

f Eliphaz b 1705 (Annals of Portsmouth) g Noah b about 1710 (Annals of Portsmouth and fact that he was of age in

1734-5) h Bildad b before 1714, being of age 173,1-5

Judah b 1719; date proven by an odd coincidence. It was long known that Joseph had a son Judah by an Indian mother, but he was supposed to be illegitimaLe and b 1700 or before. In the tax book of Salisbury Beach there is a list of settlers and among them is Jaclah Dow 1719. If a tax payer or settler by 1719, he must be b before 1700. The spelling is, of course, a penslip. The entry is in a different hand than the others. .c'l.s a matter of fact, the town clerk, deep in hard cider, tried to record Judah's birth and pulled down the wrong book. ,Judah wn8 the baby of the farnily, an object of tender solicitude of his brothers

Joseph managed to keep his full share of his inheritance, his estate, 787 £ 8 s being about its equal. To him belongs the Seabrook rec: cl Feo 6, 1734-5, but earlier gepealogists stumbled because no cl rec had appeared for Joseph Dmv adaa, whose estate was administered in 1738, it being guessed that three years might ha Ye intervened. Salem court rec set the matter right. Jo,,eph arla d intestate and his son John applied promptly for letters of administration. By this time the children by 1st m all had homes of their own. Administration was granted Feb 21, 173--1-5, and the administrator had trouble in making an inventory of the prop­erty, so complaining to the court alleging that Noah, Eliphaz and Bil-

dad were withholdiDg oxen and other pernonal property from the estate. This was followed by a citation 1Ich ,!, 173•!-.5, to Eliphaz, Noah and Bil­dad. Judah was not cited because he was not of age. The matter was speedily adjusted.

Joseph Dow adaa. Already we find that the acl line is far less known than the ab, the latter so well kept in hand by Hist Hampton. Joseph bought in 1725 a half interest in the historic tidewater grist mill built before lGG0 by Andrew Greeley in Salisbury, but this he sold in 1728-9. He was fai;·ly thrifty, his wife was :Mary, and he cl some time in 1738. This co\·ers all ,ve knov: of him. l\Iary was liYing 1730 and probably d before 1738, as she is not named in administration papers. That he and his oldest son continued Quakers seems sure. His son John ad­ministered his estate July 3, 1738, in Salisbury_: it inventoried 768 £. He seems to lrn\·e had but two children:

a Samuel b about 1710 b John b about 1712

Samuel Dow adaaa outlived his father many years and no reason appears why he should not have been his father's administrator. He lived on or near the homestead. Some error in dates occurs in connection with his estate. His will dated Dec 17, 1762, probated Aug 30, 1773; apparently unsettled or re-opened 1778. The will mentions three chil­dren as being still minors. A petitioo. by his heirs mentions Joanna as wife of Josiah Shove, a marriage made in 1778, and mentions Reuben as father of Reuben and Nabby. Now, Reuben Jr was born 1790. Sam­uel's wife was 1\Iarcia Heath. Rec reads: Samuel Dow, s Joseph and J\1ary, and l\farcy Heath int 5 mo: 1G: 1730. Her parents not, stated.

She m 2nd Nov 26, 1840, Jacob Eaton of So Kingston, survived, known several years as wid Eaton. By 1st wife 2 children. Betsey Leavitt was sister of Dudley, originator of the Farmer's Almanac, famous for a century.

Reuben was always known as Reuben Smith Dow, but the middle name was assumed by himself. His will dated Jan 25, 1823, probated Apr 10, is signed Reuben Dow. A tailor by trade he worked almost to the day of his death. His first entry- in So Hampton tax books is 1803, probably coming then from Kensington. Was tax collector 1803 to 1820. He was reputed by the young people to be a wizard. Thrifty, he invested largely in land. Will mentions 6 children, a son by 1st wife dying young:

John Dow adaab appeared in Salisbury 1738, yeoman of Ames­bury, to administer the estate of his father. From that time he disap­pears absolutely; his wife or wives never found. Only in 1923 were fam­ily rec found which prove him. When Benjamin Dow ahba reached Epping in 1748, he found already there a substantial citizen and family, named John Dow. This is adaab. Epping rec are very fragmentary, in spite of a transcript made by Gov Plumer and preserved in N H His­torical Society, Concord. Beniah Dow adada was of Epping, but his children are all proved, so he makes no confusion. From 1748 the fam­ilies of John and Benjamin lived in close harmony, both intermarrying with the Gilman family, founders of Gilmanton. John Dow adaab was an early share owner of Gilmanton, was a man comparatively well to do, and lived long. Some John Dow min Rhode Island 1742, -name or place not in pub rec; improbably our John. The 1790 census gives John Dow of Epping 3a, 3c. This is adaab. The Epping 1790 census also gives Samuel Dow la, 2b, 3c, and Josiah Dow 2a, lb, 5c. No other mention of these is found in Epping. Hence, it is improbable that they were sons of adaab. They fit somewhat the missing members of the adf line (q v). Epping rec gives: Elizabeth Dow, dau of James, bap May 28, 1758. A deed signed 1760 by Bei;ijamin Dow ahba is witnessed by Benjamin A Dow, necessarily b by 1739. A John Dow father by 1759 is probably adaab himself and not a son b 1730 or so. Benjamin Dow, a father by 1761, seems to be a son of adaab. With such lapse of time between chil­dren, it is probable that adaab had two wives. Nod rec of any are found in Epping. To reconstruct as best we can, the children:

a Beniamin Ab 1735 onward b Elizabeth bap (dau of James) May 28, 1758

THE BOOK OF DOW 103

c Nathaniel b 1758; d 1843 in Walden Vt . d Benjamin hap Nov 4, 1759; unless he is son of Benj A, the former must be

thrown out as error, probably so. But, he had children. e John (son of John Dow Jr) hap Nov 4, 1759

We dare not guess further; the situation is too much involved as it is.

Benjamin Dow adaaba. A Benjamin Dow of Gilmanton in 1790 is 2a, 2b, 3c. We cannot distinguish between three Benjamins known to exist. In Epping we find four children bap, all specified as of Ben­jamin. Epping bap rec never give a mother's name. These are:

a John hap June 14, 1761. There are five Johns of Epping b Elizabeth hap Oct 24, 1762 c Benjamin hap June 10, 1764 d Molly hap (dau of Benjamin Dow Jr) June 14, 1766

Some Benjamin Dow signed the Association Test Gilmanton 1775; in 1778 built an iron foundry and mill; a few years later built another a little further down the stream. In this mill Stephen P Dow, unplaced, was killed by accident June 2, 1831

For study let us put here some unplaced Gilmanton rec:

Benjamin Dow Jr la in 1790 census; possibly adaabac

Rebecca Dow m Belmont Dec 8, 1796, Abel Glidden, both of Gil-manton

Jonathan Dow b Epping about 1777; of Gilmanton

Samuel Otis Dow b Gilmanton 1779-83

Lydia Dow of Gilmanton m Belmont Feb 5, 1789, John Boynton

Susanna Dow m Belmont Apr 25, 1799, Dudley Marsh

Susanna Dow m Belmont Oct 15, 1795, Joshua Gilman Jr

Hannah Dow m Belmont June 20, 1791, William Mitchell, both of Gilmanton

Benjamin Dow adaabac. In some way we must account for Ben­jamin who m May 16, 1784, Dorothy Connor, both of Gilmanton. They are found no more in Gilmanton rec which are hopelessly fragmentary. The church rec might fill many gaps but the author of Hist Gilmanton never looked at them. To account for a Benjamin b Me 1789, we guess that adaabac and bride moved over the Maine border. The identity is pure guess :

a Benjamin b Me 1789

Benjamin Dow adaabaca appears in 1850 census of Enosburg, Vt; farmer, realty $400; wife Deborah b Vt 1797. We doubt place of her birth1 such error easily made by careless census taker. From a grand-'

104 THE BOOK OP DOW

son we find that she was Deborah Gilman. There were near Gilmanton at this time two Deborah Gilmans. The marriage with a Gilman argues coming from Gilmanton. We find that at first Benjamin had a wood working shop in Buffalo, Me, a town not now extant. He presum­ably came to Vermont to be nearer a supply of birch wood, the material most used in his son's large plant. In spite of small real estate holding, Benjamin was a progressive man. Census of 1850 gives 6 children. The grandson gives 8, authoritatively:

a Amherst W b Vt 1822 (Census gives Albert, chair maker) b Charles c Dennis (neither in census) d Susan b 1833 (census gives Betsey); m Fernando Stevens; children,-Schuyler

and Lovicie · e Charlotte b 1841; m Wallace Tracy; dau,-Etta f Abbie (not in census) m George Heath; dau,-Gannie and Emma g Julette (census, Jabette b 1835) m--Andrus h Rossanah (Roxana b 1838, census); doubtless the Rosina W Dow of Enosburg

Amherst W Dow adaabacaa had by 1850 census wife Sarah b Vt 1831. In 1883 gazetteer he is woodware manufacturer of Montgomery. Thirteen children, none traced, spelling of names surely a little careless:

Charles Dow adaabacab lived Vt. Only two children: C a David b Mysan; both untraced

• Dennis Dow adaabacac appears in 1883 gazetteer as owning 10 acres in Enosburg. A son:

a John E, in 1919 a lumber dealer of Enosburg; gave the children of ada.abaca, but gave no further particulars

Nathaniel Dow adaabc d 1846; his wife Esther 1842; was for many years pensioner of Walden, Vt, with his brother, ancestor of the entire Dow family of Walden, giver of the name Dow's, still a hamlet of Walden.

Gilmanton civic rec are detached. Nathaniel appears in 1775 to sign the Association Test. In 1793 Nathaniel Dow appears as a new name on the tax list. Perhaps he did not live in town 1782 to 1793. His military experience begins 1775, Capt Moody, Col Badger, for N Y State service. He is almost always in same company with Benjamin Dow, his brother, and Jonathan Dow (tentatively adgfc). Nathaniel receipts for 10£-5-6 in the Crown Point campaign. Again he receipts for 36£-8-0 and a half pint of rum. The other Dows got the same. July 6, 1780, finds him serving in Worcester Co, Mass. Coming home at the end of the war, hem Belmont Aug 8, 1782, Esther Gilman. It must have been some years later that they bought a farm in what soon became Walden, Vt. The family moved there not earlier than 1794, not later than 1801. His nephew arrived 1797 and that was probably the date for all. Here he was a farmer, active to old age. A grandson living in 1922 recalls him

John G Dow adaabcb. While there are not a few sketches of thi1 distinguished Methodist preacher, none mentions his parentage. Denom­inational feeling ran strong in those days; early conversions to Meth-/ odism were almost always of individuals and caused hostility on the part of the rest of the family. The Walden Dow and the locality were strongly Congregational. John G was a farmer and militia captain when "con­verted" 1822, ae 37.

Sketches of his life mention but one marriage. From 1822 he was 36 years in the active ministry, 12 years presiding elder of Vermont. Several of his pastorates were in New Hampshire and in 1831 he was chaplain of the Concord State's pris­on. In 1837 he became pastor at Newbury, Vt, soon returning to NH. In 1844 he rejoined the,Vt conference and in 1854 was again assigned to Newbury. Here he inte.rested himself in what he considereq his most im­portant work,-the Newbury Seminary, of which he was trustee. He did not live long after its firm establishment, dying suddenly May 18, 1858, while on a visit to a dau in Chelsea, Mass. Children:

Benjamin Dow adaabd was a pensioner in Walden, dying after 1840. R~c at hand give nothing of him after his military experience from Gil­manton. The natural supposition is that he bought 160 acres in 1783 and came with his brother Nathaniel. We know that Jonathan Dow, b 1776, came to Walden with his bride in 1797; his children (like those of Nathaniel) are known. William Gilman Dow, writing in 1887, gives

· his own grandfather as Samuel Dow, Walden farmer, captain of militia, m -- Gilman; d Oct 1831, leaving an only child, Samuel. If this is right, Samuel Sr must have been b before 1780. This matter must be left for later solution, when more facts are known. We know that a Gil­man Dow was elected deacon of the Walden church 1805. He must date from Revolutionary time. We have guessed him to be the missing James Gilman Dow ahbaai. The Author believes that Ramuel Sr is error (as

108 THE BOOK OF DOW

Wm G Dow lost his father at age of 10) for Jonathan whom Joanna Gil­man. All the Dows of Coventry descend from the Walden colony. The only reasonable hypothesis is to assume that the disconnected Dow of Walden of right age are children of Benjamin adaabd, who presumably added to his family until, say, 1810, as did Nathaniel.

To facilitate matters, let us collect here the disconnected Walden records:

A family Bible recently unearthed gives definitely a son of Benjamin, to wit,-Greeley. As said before, it seems hopeless to try to unravel the defective rec of Gilmanton. The Bible in question does not mention Greeley's mother. Possible that he was 2nd born son of Benjamin and Dorothy (Connor) and that Benjamin now provisionally adaabaca was 3rd born. Gravestone extant in Albany, Vt, gives:

As we have already stated, no list of children of Benjamin Dow adaabd has appeared. The disconnected Dows of Walden, Coventry and Craftsbury presumably are all of his direct line or closely akin. One more son is highly probable:

Jonathan Dow adaabf (wholly for convenience). Said to be b Ep­ping 1776, will probably be proved as soon as someone searches rec of Ep­ping second church. The late John Mark Moses began this search and had transcribed to 1772 before his untimely death. He cannot be son of a Benjamin b 1759. Perhaps he was one of the missing sons of Noah Dow of Gilmanton ahbac; if so, what was he doing in Walden? Kinship with Nathaniel is much more likely. At all events Jonathan m Jan 7, 1796, Joanna Gilman b Dec 17, 1777, dau of Samuel and Alice (Gilman) of Newmarket. This Gilman family intermarried with ahba line.

The failure of this firm in 1925 with liabilities well into the millions produced no small sensation, its assets small. Indicted on many counts in the Federal Court, he finally pleaded guilty on a charge of using the mails to defraud and was punished by a fine of $2,000. That the firm was very recklessly con­ducted was freely admitted. The penalty indicates that the Court did not find a degree of criminality charged by the sensational press. A little later he pleaded guilty to a charge of bucket-shopping and was fined $2,500. His unsecured creditors got IO per cent on $6,000,000 liabilities.

OUR next line remained Quaker for only a generation, except the youngest son: the parents figure always with the Friends.

John Dow adab appears as buying a Salisbury farm 1731, but he did not live with his father for years previously. There is a clear­ly defined family tradit1on that the children of Joseph Dow ada by his 1st wife, all more or less austere Quakers, regarded with horror what seem­ed to them the wild life of the family by 2nd wife. No love was lost be­tween them when John came to administer the estate in 1734.

She had m 1st Oct 8, 1705, John Simonds of Haverhill and had a grown family, one son being of Goffstown. Presumably she individually joined the Friends at marriage.

For 20 years they lived somewhere around Salisbury or Haverhill; all children by Salisbury rec. About 1760 he took his en­tire family to Maine and presumably the home folks never heard of them again. Presumably he went by water, for there was no overland route, but perhaps not with the original settlers of Deer Island, led from Haver­hill in 1762 by Major William Eaton. Nathan was not in the original division of Deer Island, but came there from the mainland in 1767. Here he d almost at once, his will dated Deer Isl May 13, 1767, probated in Brunswick the same year. In 1764 Nathan was living not far from Bath. Children: .

118 TH~ BOOK OF DOW

A generation ago William Dow, sailor of Tremont, Me, too advanced in years for aught save short fishing trips, used to take his grandchildren on his knee and tell them tales of his own grandsire, of old times, of wars, Indian fights, privation, massacres, scalping, bravery. He enjoined upon the open mouthed youngsters that they should remember these tales, these names, and repeat all to their own grandchildren, to pass down to many generations yet unborn. Youth is careless. These grandchildren, now past middle age, wish to recall the tales, but only scraps come to mind. It was only by coincidence of names that the connection of Deer Island appeared and only by comparison of records that the first Dow of Deer Isl was found to be the Quaker born from old Salisbury.

In 1762 the place was settled by a party from Haverhill. That town had grown until the individual farm was too small to support a family. One must emigrate or starve. The end of the French War made Maine a safe place and most of it was uninhabited. It is not hard to understand why Deer Island was chosen. No· one tried to forsee a city to come · a century later, to see real estate increasing greatly in value. All they asked was ·a safe place with plenty of food. Here the abundance of deer named the island. The rock bound coast forbade any landing of an enemy. Timber was abundant, the soil, when cleared, not unfertile, fish in great plenty. Nothing seemed lacking; the land was theirs from the bare fact of occupancy. So, here settled about 30 families, mostly from Haverhill or around Gloucester; a few from the Salisbury region.

Jemima Dow adabba.came to Me with her parents; m 1764 Lieut Stephen Coombs of Bath, son of Joshua, grandson of Anthony; they lived near Foster's Point, New River Meadow; shed Bath Apr 16, 1811. Children:

a Stephen b David c Sarah b Dec 11 1766; m 1st -- Lyon d by 1790; 2nd July 26 1792, Luke

Ryerson of New Gloucester, later of Paris and Buckfield, 4th generation from Marten Ryerson, immigrant. He d Aug 28, 1808, leaving 12 children by Sarah,-Sarah, Joseph, Howell, Nancy, Nehimiah, Esther Reading, Nathaniel, Osgood, Christina, Simeon and Ebenezer. Sarah m 3rd Benjamin Cox of Sumner, evidently a very brave man

d Jemima e Daniel f Mary g Nathaniel h Judith j Jonathan

Nathan Dow adabbb, executor of his fathe.r's estate, lived on the farm still known as Dow's Point. This was presumably inherited. His nearest neighbor was Jonathan Eaton, who came from the mainland in 1767 with Nathan Dow Sr. A phrase in Hosmer, Hist Deer Isl, suggests that Nathan Jr got himself a grant of land. Possibly this was under the 1783 bounty law. It is doubtless this Nathan who enlisted Mch 4, 1777, Capt Brooks, Col Marshall Battle. It is possible that there was another Na than Dow in Hancock Co, whose identity is as yet undiscovered. Some Nathan Dow of Castine took a contract in 1778 to carry mails between Belfast and Bangor. This does not seem like the same man. The

THE BOOK OF DOW 119

1790 census gives in Hancock Co Nathan Dow and Nathan Dow Jr, each Ia, lb, 3c. As we well know, the term Jr is employed to distinguish wholly unrelated men. Neither can be Nathan Dow abccgc. About 1885 a grandson wrote to Edgar R Dow saying clearly that our Nathan had 7 children, but did not give the name of wife. Beyond this we have had to depend on the data of the 1850 census and on the vital statistics col­lected by the State subsequent to 1892. In 1924 the town clerk of Deer Island collected and sent to the Author the complete list of vital statis­tics from 1785. Of course, the early records are more or less defective, but the kindly act enables us to reconstruct the history of the entire Deer Island family. The children appear as of Nathan and Jemimah. His d rec does not appear, nor hers, altho Judith Dow, wife of Nathan, d Aug 6, 1825. Children:

a Abigail b Sept 8, 1785 c Jeremiah b Aug 27, 1789 e John b Jan 15, 1795 g Ephraim b Dec 19, 1798

Here are 8 children as against 7 by family rec. From Hist Deer Island we get impression that 3 dau belong here, but this is incorrect; they are children of Nathan adabb

David Dow adabbbb is untraced; probably is the David d Deer Isl Oct 11, 1826. It is a notable coincidence that four David Dow were born 1787. The 1850 census has a Jemima Dow b Me 1787 living with Joshua Dow adabbbh. This might be wid of David or his brother Jeremiah. Deer Isl rec gives to David and Bettsey Dow a dau:

a Susan W b Nov 28, 1825; untraced

Jeremiah Dow adabbbc does not reappear in Deer Isl rec and can­not be associated with any known Jeremiah.

Nathan Dow adabbbd m June 9, 1820, Mary (Polly in rec) Weed. Census 1850 shows him farmer of Deer Isl, realty assessed $300. This is relatively high. The highest assessment of any Deer Isl Dow was $400 and lowest $25.

Census gives his wife Hannah b Me 1803; if correct, this would be 2nd wife. Census gives 3 children:

a Martha b 1822 b John b July 19, 1823 c David b Apr 23, 1827 d Louis b 1829; census, otherwise unknown e Nathan b Dec 19, 18-, to Nathan and Dolly; not in census f, Polly b Dec 3, 1832 (to Nathan and wife). No rec attributable to either of

John Dow adabbg. Hist Deer Isl has little to say about him. Local rec, however, give all (presumably) his children, and their families were identified with Deer Isl. There cannot be much doubt that he is the John Dow who at an early date settled on an inland in Penobscot Bay and some years later induced six other families to join him. Census 1790 calls this Shamm Island and finds John Ia, 4b, 3c. The new colonists petitioned the Legislature again and again that this island being owner­less, not even included in the limits of any county, should be granted to them. Such is red tape that not until 1802 was this done and the place received the name Holt's Island. Children are credited in rec to John

Thomas S Dow adabbga appears in 1850 census as farmer of Deer Isl, assessed $300; wife Elizabeth b Me 1785. She was Betsey E Has­kell b Deer Isl, one rec giving 1791. In death they were not divided; shed Dec 13, he Dec 16, 1866. Ind rec of son Thomas, mother appears as Aletha Joyce, probably copyist's error. A grandson in 1888 gave the names of 11 children.

126 THE BOOK OF DOW

Ephraim Dow adabbgb is not found in 1850 census, is said to have lived Mt Desert. He was of Deer Isl at least from 1814 to 1821; his children settled in Tremont and Brooklyn. A nephew reports 5 children, of whom 4 appear in Deer Isl rec: His wife (m 1807) was Rebecca M Mullen.

William H Dow adabbgbc, sailor of Tremont, d June 19, 1907. Realty assessed 1850 at $458. He m Isabelle Billings b Me 1818. It was he who in old age used to tell to his grandchildren the tales told to him by his own grandsire. As these tales contained much about Indian fighting and old Haverhill, one wonders how much had to do with direct experience of any grandsire. His grandfather b 1754 does not appear anywhere in rosters. Possibly Nathan Dow adabb during the twenty years he spent somewhere near Salisbury and Haverhill had a military experience of which the record has not been found. The history of the family from 1767 onward is one of complete peace. His posterity is proven by two descendants, discrepancies being negligible. Children:

a Isaac Carlton b 1838 (census) b Reuben Billings b 1841; Civil War vet; d unm c Willard Sawyer b 1843; all dates from census d Harriet Ann b 1846; m Charles Spinney of Lynn, Mass; several children, 1

130 THE BOOK 01'7 DOW

Altho the vital statistics of Deer Isl eliminated very many of those previously unplaced, it added some and there are left a number of dis­connected individuals certainly belonging to the adabb line. These are collected here for convenience of indexing and reference.

134 THE BOOK_ OF DOW

. ' Ephraim with sons Richard and Levi; were with Gen Benedict Arnold in Ca ada. Levi m Sept 13, 1787, Abigail Stanton of Preston, Conn; moved to R.:.meo, Mich, where he d Apr 10, 1837. Of 11 children, one was Abigail Dow.

Challis Dow adabd of Kingston m Dec 30, 1746, Sarah Colman (Ipswich rec); lived So Hampton. Perhaps more children:

a Lydia b Feb 4, 1747; hap So Hampton July 15, 1750 b Mary hap Kingston July 6, 1752 c Rebecca hap Oct 19, 1755

Lydia Dow adabe m Kingston Nov 8, 1739, Michael Brooks of Biddeford, Me. Apparently this was outside the Friends.

Jonathan Dow adabi. We have seen that the three older sons of John Dow, Quaker, married outside the Society. Probably as an act of disinheritance of them he deeded Apr 14, 1763, in consideration of filial love his house and barn in So Hampton to his youngest son, Jonathan adabi. Jonathan seems to have been always a consistent Friend. He m Hannah Shaw, whose identity is not cleared in Shaw Gen. A Hannah bap 1733, dau of Benjamin of Kingston by 2nd wife Mary, is rather mature and not a birthright Friend. Their children appear for the most part in So Hampton rec, altho several b Gilmanton. Jonathan appears in Gilmanton 1775, refusing to sign the Association Test, offering the usual Quaker substitµte granting all but exercise of physical force. As Jonathan was in So Hampton 1779 and again in Gilmanton 1781, it is possible that, as war spirit ran unusually high in Gilmanton, Quakers were unpopular and Jonathan retired temporarily. He was of Gilmanton 1781 to his death. In 1790 census he is either 2a, 2b, 3c or 3a, 3b, 3c, it being not easy to distinguish between the several Jonathan Dow of _Gilmanton. The eight known children are probably all:

a Richard b Apr 20 1768 b Ephraim (probabiy a twin) c Jemima b Feb 24 1770 d Hannah b June 16, 1772; she who m June 20, 1791, William Mitchel, both of

Gilmanton e Mina m-Merrill (identical with Jemima above?) f Dolly b Feb 20, 1779 g John b Feb 20, 1779

Richard Dow adabia had by family rec 1 son, 1 dau; is genealogi­cally a little obscure; in Sanbornton a householder 1798; in Newbury­port, Mass, by 1802; d there of old age; wife Lucinda b 1770, d Newbury­port Nov 21, 1843. A child:

Ephraim Dow adabib m 1790 Elizabeth French, apparently both then of So Hampton. She had brother Elihu, sisters -- who m -­Mudgett, went upstate; -- m -- Fitts, moved away; -- m -­Brigham, went down east.

dau of John and Abigail (Sargent). They soon left Salisbury, .in 1726 settled in west parish, Amesbury, paying the minister's tax; 1741 they were in east parish, freed from the tax as being Quakers. They were old when they went to New Braintree, where their children had located. James d Dec 11, 1773, the town clerk thinking he did his whole duty when he entered "Mr Dow." Seventeen years later, with equal clarity, he recorded the death of "widow Dow." With such things does the genealogist battle. The entries defied identification for years.

youth who rode a horse to perfection and had a good one, he had the added glory of being a veteran. Going to Boston to buy supplies, he hitched his horse in front of the store kept by one Molyneux, a French merchant. The merchant's daughter Fannie happened to be sitting in the window. How quickly things happened we do not know, but a fortnight later he and Fannie mounted his horse and were out of sight before father saw them. They stopped· at Deering and were married by Rev Jeremiah Bannard of Amherst. In that gentleman's diary is entered: "Mr Moses Dow and Miss Fanny Mollineaux, both of Deering." Both evidently told a little fib. Town rec gives Moses Dow 2nd and Phany, June 25, 1780. The feelings of Pere Molyneux are not chronicled, but the mar­riage was not a failure, as both in good health had 10 children at the golden wedding. They took the veterans' 160 acres somewhere but swapped for a farm at Leicester, Vt, going in old age to Hinesburg, where both are buried. He was a pensioner in 1840.

Isaiah Dow adacf who m Sarah was for 20 years a man of mystery, altho Mrs E J More had found him and Sarah and assumed correctly that he came from Amesbury. But there was no Amesbury Isaiah to fit.

They lived about 4 years in Hampstead, moving from Amesbury to New Braintree between 1770 and 1776. Three youngest children by family rec:

a Mary b Hampstead Apr 4 1760. Family rec giving her 4th child and m Isaiah Pepper is error. New Braintree church rec gives Mary Dow, young woman, hap Jan 12, 1779, m Apr 14, 1780, John Pepper of New Braintree. She was b Quaker

Olive Cobb b May 12, 1777, dau of Perez and Abiah (Richmond), was black-eyed, tall, handsome, and, like her father, very "sot in her ways." Singing school and teacher, 2 years younger than herself, were much to her liking. So, they went hand in hand to ask the consent of the old folks. No fault could be found with Joseph except his youth and lack of money. Perez said no emphatically. Next, the dry entry in vital statistics,-m Nov 3, 1799. A few days later they returned to 1eek forgiveness and a temporary home on the Cobb farm. Perez crossed Olive's name out of the family Bible and made a new will. He'd show her, by heck, what filial obedience meant. He never relented; 41 years later his son Joseph died a bachelor and intestate. A son of Olive drove with his bride from Pennsylvania to Brookfield and collected Olive's share of the inheritance, several hundred dollars, then much needed by the old folks.

West Brookfield was thenceforth a closed book; the young couple packed their entire earthly possessions in a carpet bag, mounted the horse which Joseph had bought with every penny saved from singing school, and started for Pennsylvania, where they imagined teaching pros­pects were better. Preston offered them a haven; Joseph captured the school. It paid poor wages, but Joseph was useful in many ways. He played the fiddle and could pitch the tune, so he led the choir. He had a small library of English classics, out of which he found euphonious

He knew about fairies, Jack of Bean stock fame, and Red Riding Hood, and wove them into his school primer. Everybody liked him, but the glass factory at Bethany was needed to supply a living, for himself and later his children. Education of them cost every penny that Joseph could save and he gave the best he could. All of them taught school at some time, the oldest also a preacher. Joseph d June 22, 1852; Olive Oct 5, 1858.

PHILIP Dow ad,ad may be recalled as the child living with his Quaker grandfather following his father's second marriage. Per­sumably he left the Friends on account of his marriage. A gap

of three years between birth of oldest child and baptism might indicate that a long debate was held over the matter of denomination. Philip might have been the one who favored baptism. His wife joined Kings­ton church July 14, 1728, seven months after her child was baptized. Philip was a yeoman of Kingston 1728, of Hampton 1731, Kensington 1736, later until his death in Kingston.

statistics were ill kept. He himself disappears 1784. He m So Hampton May 19, 1761, Sarah French, whose sister Miriam m Benaiah, his brother. No evidence of association with the Friends. He bought Mch 19, 1767, 33 acres in Nottingham, now East Northwood. Nothing more appears here and 30 years later this land was owned by Daniel Hoitt. He en­listed Epping, Capt John Norris, Col Poor, drawing pay for 2 mos 15 days from June 15, 1775, with $4 allowance for overcoat. Next year he, Winthrop and Zebulon Dow in same company, was in company of Capt Samuel Gordon, Col Tash, for N Y State service. The three drew the saµie pay Sept 20, 1776, 8£-10-0. The sgt Ebenezer Dow at Saratoga Sept 1777 is ahbg. Ebenezer appears next Feb 7, 1780, buying a home­stead farm from Henry Dearborn. This he sold Nov 8, 1784. All sub­sequent references to him point to Meredith, NH. Several legal papers have been quoted to prove his children, but the Author only knows these at second hand. Land was passed by Ebenezer to Philip, Jonathan and Jenny Dow. Next:-Philip had a brother Sewell b 1780. Finally, a great grandson asserts that Jenny was not a Dow but an unm sister of Jonathan's wife. As she does not appear further, this is of no consequence. Nob rec appear for any of them, but they may be in the unsearched rec of Epping 2nd church. There may have been children who d young, but we can safely record only the three:

a Philip probably 1st born. No other line has the name Philip in it b Jonathan; identity far from certain c Sewell b 1780

Leon C Dow, a great grandson, writes 1927 that Philip was b Epping; d Meredith ae 77-7-7 (date not given); that his brothers and sisters were,-Eben­ezer b Dec 5, 1798; Jonathan b Apr 28, 1801; Gilman; Susan; Polly; Lucy b May 12, 1804

Philip Dow adadha was known only in fragments until a letter from a descendant was found 1923 in Edgar Dow's unedited papers. He d before 1850; census gives his wid Lydia b 1775, living in Meredith. She was Lydia Swain, said band d Meredith, but probably from New Hamp­ton. Philip was a cooper of Meredith and had 7 sons, 5 dau. As official proof has been found of only one, some guessing must ensue:

a Ebenezer b Jan 5, 1799, possibly in New Hampton (identity certain) b Jonathan c Abram S b Nov 10, 1816 (identity certain)

Jonathan Dow adadi. Whatever may have been the feelings of Philip Dow adad regarding the Society of Friends, which he had left at the time of his marriage, none of the children continued in it. There have been four instances of return to the Friends, a notable one being at least two sons of adgf. The return of Jonathan Dow adadi must be attributed to his individual choice, probably at his marriage. We know that Jonathan and Elijah Peaslee were close and lifelong friends; that Elijah, whose ancestors and posterity have always been in the Society, was a pioneer of Pittsfield, NH, about 1760, coming from So Hampton or nearby. Jonathan Dow m Lydia -- of Merrimac. The presumption is that she was a birthright Friend, altho there seems no place for her in the Peaslee family. At all events Jonathan was a Friend until his death Aug 5, 1812. His wid d Pittsfield Mch 28, 1834. Three of his descen­dants bore the name Elijah Peaslee Dow.

While Pittsfield had its meeting house, it never was an independent meeting, but a branch of the Amesbury monthly meeting, not having its own pastor, when that functionary came into existence. Cyrus Dow, last Quaker Dow of Pittsfield, died 1917. Later Charles E Peaslee, great grandson of Elijah, long pastor of the Gonic meeting and the Peas­lee family were the only ones in Pittsfield actively in the Society. The spirit has not died out and there was a plan on foot in 1923 for a resump­tion of regular meetings. Charles E Peaslee has now retired to Dow­borough, Pittsfield. In the summer of 1927 the Author visited the place, on the hill top southeast of Pittsfield village. The meeting house is now spick and span and well attended each first day;

In the 1790 census Pittsfield people are generally listed as of Pem­broke; here Jonathan appears la, 3b, 2c, according with our knowledge of his children. One child was born after 1790. That only one was born prior to 1774 indicates that Jonathan married at a little more than the usual age for that time. He was a farmer. His will names wife and four children, the son Jeremiah being disinherited. In Quakerdom there is only one reason for such act. Children in order of mention in will:

F ROM 1683 vital statistics were neglected in that part of Hampton . now Seabrook. In 1711 this region was set off as a separate town­

ship, Hampton Falls, but little improvement is noted. Half a century later it became Seabrook, but the town books were kept no bet­ter. Some years ago an effort was made to inspect them, and it was found that they had from time to time been given to children as playthings~ More than half the pages had been torn out. Much was unintelligible. Moreover, from 1702 the Friends were not at all careful to keep their vital statistics in the regular minute books. Probably the town clerk paid no attention to Friends' doings, so neither made entries. The snarl thus created was the despair of every genealogist for many years. The Dows of Seabrook were more numerous than anywhere else and seemed irre­deemably untraceable. Little by little order has been restored. The discovery of the second family of Joseph Dow ada cleared the situation

wonderfully. '

Eliphaz Dow adaf grew up on his father's farm and learned the shoe­maker's trade; m Newbury Sept 2, 1729, Elizabeth Flood. Undoubt­edly no children. Henry Dow, administrator of his estate, was abcea of Portsmouth and was appointed by the court.

May 8, 1755, the inhabitants of Portsmouth and far and near gath­ered to witness the edifying show of the hanging of Eliphaz Dow, who for the purpose had been taken from the county jail to the cross roads near the foot of the hill where a gallows had been erected. It was the first hanging in the county and the people were anxious for it, the authorities wishing to carry out good old English precedent. About 1850 the road at this point was being repaired and the workmen uncovered his restless bones. A hanging seems always to exert a fascination upon people. Al­bert Gallatin Dow in his autobiography describes the first boat on the Erie canal and notes that fewer than a score rose in the chill early morning to witness the consummation of this vast work. Almost on the same page he speaks of the vast crowds gathered to make holiday and witness the hanging of the three Thayer brothers, more than trebly more attractive than a single hanging. And so, people gathered to watch Fliphaz Dow choke to death frQm a rope around his neck.

The accounts of all which led up to this event are clear, and unbiased, and make us feel sorry that Eliphaz lived a century too soon. Today, any district attorney would have accepted his plea of manslaughter in minor degree and, if he had any money or influence, he would be acquitted at once. If a Quaker, albeit a degenerate one, he would now go free, but then it was all the more reason for hanging him.

There had been ill feeling for some time between Eliphaz, who trav­eled from door to door making or mending shoes, and Peter Clough of

THE BOOK OF DOW 179

Hampton Falls, burly blacksmith. Heb Oct 25, 1707, son of Samuel and Mary (Blaisdell), m July 24, 1735, Sarah Hunt. The two met one day at the house of Noah Dow, Eliphaz' brother. It was the social set of Sea­brook in which hard cider figured as the invariable entertainer. Pre­sumably Eliphaz and Peter poured out liberal amounts into the tin dipper. At all events, there were high words and Peter dared Dow to come out and fight. Now Eliphaz was slight and no fighter, Peter a black­smith. So, when Peter heeded his host's request to make himself scarcer and went out, Eliphaz waited for the storm to blow over. When he finally left, he picked up Noah's hoe as a precaution. Clough started for him and Eliphaz struck him on the side of the head, killing him in­stantly. Dow was promptly arrested, examined before magistrate Meshech Weare and committed to the county jail. This was Dec 12, 1754. In Feb he was tried and convicted, sentenced to die Mch 20. He was reprieved twice by the Governor, but the people demanded his hang­ing.

People's opinions differ about a hanging. They should regret that too many who need hanging get away. One good hanging should occur about once a century in each family. It is a cure for family degeneracy, keeps down undeserved pride, and tones up morale. Two more Dow have been hanged, one an honest privateersman; the other a splendid brigand on a large scale. Philip Dow, said in the newspapers to be an American, was a successful man in South America. His organized band was strong, well armed and well drilled. They never molested the coun-, try folks, their neighbors or the poor. In raiding a town, they were inclined to take away everything portable. Whether Philip left heirs is not recorded; it is said that he lived somewhat on the caveman plan, carrying off wives by force of arms. He was especially successful in politics. When Chile could stand his doings no longer, he gained amnesty by conducting an expedition against Peru. Before laying on the last straw, he placated the Peruvians by proceeding to rob their hereditary enemies, the Bolivians. The patience of all finally gave out and they hanged the gentleman in the early eighties, much mourned by hundreds to whom he gave steady, lucrative employment, and by a country side accustomed to feed from his largess.

Noah Dt>w adag was of age in 1735, when cited to court with his brothers; our guess that he was b 1710 must be pretty close. May 16, 1744, he sold some So Hampton land to his brother Bildad; he is on the Hampton Falls tax list each year from 1740 to 1768 inclusive. His will dated 1770 does not indicate wife or children, but names his nephew Zebulon as his heir. His tax bills were about the average size, he was an inconspicuous farmer and probably never married.

Bildad Dow adah, also of age by 1735, is almost as little known al:'

180 THE BOOK OF DOW

Noah, his civic life confined to the tax lists. From 1744 to 1747 he lived So Hampton, from 1747 to 1767 he is regularly on the Hampton Falls tax books. He was alive 1770. He was not a signer of the Association Test, but none of the Quaker Dow was. Hem (int pub Mch 20, 1735-6) Eleanor (Getchell) Selley, dau of Benoni of Seabrook and Salisbury.

a Phebe Ann d Aug 5, 1855, ae 29 b Lorenzo b 1830; living 1850 c Alonzo d June 7, 1856, ae 19. In various rec father is called Swet, Swett,

Sweat d Malissa b 1840; living 1850

Lorenzo Dow adahddb is untraced. The 1883 gazetteer gives two Lorenzos in Lincoln, both blacksmiths. One may be adahddb

Jeremiah Dow adahdx. There are no data, only inferences con­cerning this Quaker of Lincoln b Oct 31, 1816, d Dec 7, 1871. We merely guess him to be a grandson of Bildad Dow, no other origin seem1ng plaus­ible. He m -- Barnard; 2nd Phebe Martell. He was commonly known as Jed and lived inconspicuously. He had an only son:

a Lorenzo m Mary Clark and had a son John. Inquiry in Lincoln recalls them all clearly but fails to ascertain where they moved

There is in the Lincoln Friends cemetery a stone to Margaret M (Percival) Dow b 1812, d Jan 27, 1857. We guess her wife or wid of some Dow of adah line

182 THE BOOK OF DOW

Judah Dow adai. For many years the genealogists knew of his existence because of a curious entry in the tax book and that he was re­lated to Noah Dow adag was known. This very relationship made his identity uncertain, for he was entered as a tax payer of Salisbury Beach in 1719. From that entry, it seemed certain that he was b by 1698. What really happened was this: The Salisbury clerk, probably deep in hard cider at the time, wished to record Judah's birth in 1719. He reached and took down the wrong book, entering the name as Jadah.

Judah was the baby of the family, the especial pet of his father and later the object of especial solicitude of his older brothers. He developed into a man of much gentleness, and likeable qualities. He married out­side the Friends, Sept 25 (int Sept 5), 1740, by Rev Jeremiah Fogg of Kensington, Mary Wilber. In published works she is given of Hamp­ton; this is error, there were no Wilbers of Hampton; her family were all of Kingston. He was all his life closely intimate with Elihu Dow adgx, whose parentage is not proven. From 1741 to 1768 inclusive Judah appears always on the Hampton Falls tax books. He seems to have d just before 1777, his wife probably d earlier. His posterity may be the largest of any Dow of 4th generation. This posterity, a hopeless muddle apparently, was disconnected until Edward A Brown, librarian of Amesbury, discovered in possession of a great grandson of Elihu Dow adgx Judah's family Bible, the entries all in his own clearly legible hand. Children:

a Jesse b Dec 22, 1741 c John b May 2, 1745 e Moses b Mch 23, 1749 l!i Phineas b Jan 7, 1753 1 Levi b July 10, 1756

Zebulon b Jan 23, 1758 Zopher b June 8, 1764

With this huge family, all of whom grew up, Judah and wife were desperately poor. Each child added a burden, One imagines that when the 10th arrived, both parents chose the last letter of the alphabet as a token of desire. Alas, of no avail. Then followed Zelpha, Zopher, Zachaeus before nature was exhausted

' Jesse Dow adaia. The practice by Rev Sam Perley of noting in a little pocket book the weddings at which he officiated has preserved much information of a time when town rec were at their worst. This shows that Jesse m May 25, 1768, Deborah Fellows, both of Seabrook. Jesse paid Hampton Falls taxes 1763-7. The latter date is approximately when some of his brothers moved to Pittsfield, settling toward the north end. Probably Jesse went to Pittsfield 1768. The Pembroke 1790 cen­sus gives him la, lb, 3c, and all the Pittsfield Dow are censused as of Pembroke. Here are three lost children. It is not safe to pick out candidates from the Pittsfield disconnected list.

John Dow adaic m by Rev Sam Perley Seabrook Sept 21, 1772, Abigail Purington. She also broke away from the Friends. John Dow, cooper of Pittsfield, bought land 1778 from Phineas Dow adaig. John Dow in 1790 Pembroke census la, 4b, 6c. Here is a family of 9 children genealogically lost.

Isaiah Dow adaid does not reappear after birth. Only the exis­tence of Isaiah Dow Jr places him. He must have gone to Pittsfield with his brothers. That he had more children than 3 is probable:

Moses Dow adaie. His very existence was unknown until the dis­covery of his father's family Bible. A Moses figuring in Hist Hampton was he but was dated 14 years wrongly. Some Moses Dow, we know not whom, enlisted Capt Nathan Brown, Col Jacob Gale, for RI service, mustered out Aug 1778, service 23 days. Some Moses, no longer liable for military service, paid the bounty for another soldier in Epping. This could hardly be adaie; possibly is ahbb. The Author communicated his theories about Moses to Miss Mary J Greene of Hampton Falls, at which that indefatigable lady set to work, soon encountering a very old gentle­man of Seabrook whose memories and hearsay were decisive. "Down on an i'Sland at Farm Dock lived Moses Dow and a sister Polly, called an old witch." • (This can only be Elizabeth Dow adaib.) That Moses had a wife Elizabeth appears from d rec of son. In 1790 census he is la,

186 THE BOOK OF DOW

Moses Franklin Dow adaieaaf. The husband of Jane Maria Ramsdell of Kensington appears as Moses, Moses F, Frank, Frank B, etc. We can only suppose that our identification is right. He moved from Seabrook to Kensington after 1870, from Kensington to Exeter after 1880. Unless there is an absolutely unknown Moses, this man had 20 children, the largest family in this Book.

a Levi b probably 1800 to 1805, probably not 1st born b Josiah F (a guess)

Levi Dow adaiiaa was recalled to mind by the elderly Seabrook gentleman who recalled the adaie line and who even named Levi's chil­dren, altho not in order. The 1850 census comes to the rescue: Levi was a fish dealer of Newburyport, with wife Mary Mb NH 1806. Children, allbNH:

Levi A Dow adaiiaae, when weighed in the final balance, may stand safely. He d Amesbury Nov 14, 1899; m Hannah Minan (probably Moynahan) b Ireland. He enlisted Newburyport Nov 17, 1861, 8th Mass inf, transferred to 30th Mass, in which his brother was. His term expiring, he re-enlisted Jan 2, 1864, and at Port Hudson volunteered for

- the "forlorn hope," a well known episode. He was a good soldier through­out, but after a few drinks was quarrelsome. In a drunken row with another soldier, an officer interfered and Levi struck him. For this he was imprisoned, pardoned after the end of the war, but given a dishonor­able discharge. He then settled in Amesbury, where his children are now worthy and respected citizens:

Coincidence of name and of the places Lynn and Newburyport make it highly probable that all three rec apply to the same man and that he is of the ill-traced adaiia line and that a nephew was named for him.

Perhaps there was another Reuben of the adail line; more likely that Reuben made a 2nd m, for Reuben Dow and Jennett Walton had a son old enough to marry in 1877; Reuben and Sarah appear in 1850 census, laborer of Salisbury, with dau Julia and Sarah. Reuben Dow, widower, laborer of So Hampton, d of intemper­ance Feb 1861. Probably the three are identical. If so, a considerable family. With Reuben in 1850 was Nancy Dow b NH 1783.

Zachaeus Dow adaim, cordwainer of Hampton Falls and Seabrook, has much the largest posterity of the Seabrook Dow. Upon him to a greater extent than the otlier brothe,rs who remained in Seabrook fell the inheritance of the finer qualities of Judah Dow; to his posterity has remained the best of the Seabrook Dow. Zachaeus is in the Hampton Falls tax list 1789-92. His wife Janna in deeds or Jane in m rec bought Apr 30, 1792, about 4 acres of Seabrook land from David Dow, joyner. This may be any of three Davids; and the land became the homestead. Zachaeus bought five acres in Seabrook Nov 2, 1812, from Jacob Felch of Kensington. He was living widower in 1850. Next to him in census stands Julia A Dow b 1841, who has not yet been recognized. Reliable family rec give the children, who are not found in town rec. This large family constituted probably a fourth of the disconnected Seabrook Dows until the work of Miss Mary J Greene, a splendid achievement, arranged them with a completeness found in few other branches:

THAT farm, belonging to Joseph Dow ad, which lay nearest to Hampton was the inheritance of his 2nd son:

John Dow adb m Hampton Nov 26, 1696, Hannah Page, who presumably became a Friend either at marriage or as soon afterwards as the Friends were safely established. She is bed of our key; the Hingham family. John (1) Page m Mary Marsh, dau of George, immigrant. Jo­seph (2) Page bap Hingham Mch 5, 1647-8, m 2nd Martha Dow be, wid of Joseph Heath. This couple are the ancestors of the large Quaker Dow family of Maine, almost all the Maine Friends originating in the Hamp­ton district.

Joseph Dow, Hist Hampton, was a little disturbed by his discovery that a son Jonathan was b May 2, 1695, to John and Sarah Dow. This is our Dow family d of Newington

So far as the Author can ascertain, not one of this family is today among the Friends, altho they were for 150 years consistent.

Hannah (Worthen). They moved to Dover where he was admitted to meeting 2: 12 mo: 1759. A few years later they with a considerable party pushed on to Berwick, Me, founding a strong Quaker colony. He d Berwick 31: 10 mo: 1816. Berwick town and Friends rec seldom agree in dates, town rec probably compiled later. Census of 1790 gives Moses la, 3b, 3c, easily reconcilable with rec:

a Pelatiah b 11: 5 mo: 1759: d 11: 10 mo: 1792 b Jonathan b 26: 9 mo: 1762 c Mary b 20: 1 mo: 1765; m 23: 8 mo: 1787, John Buffum d Jan 9, 1812;

The ms of Edgar R Dow gives without dates additional children,-Hosea, Huldah, Patience. If existed, probably d young; more likely cited in error

Jonathan Dow adbabb moved July 23, 1785, to Falmouth, about 1798 to Harlem, later China, Me, where a strong Quaker colony was established. This township was first settled by church people in 1774. Jonathan m 21: 5 mo: 1788, Huldah Beede d 1792, dau of Jonathan and Ann of Poplin, N H; m 2nd Berwick 23: 7 mo: 1793, Abra Went­worth, dau of John and Hannah of Rochester. Census 1790 gives then of Vassalboro 1, lb, le. N E Gen Reg 1909 gives him m Alexa Winth­worth; other rec say Ahia, Ahra and Alexandr. Friends rec give b of children, but no more:

a Moses b Vassalboro 15: 8 mo: 1789 b John b Vassalboro 5: 4 mo: 1797 c Richard b Harlem 10: 4 mo: 1799; untraced or confused with adbabi d -- e Elijah b Harlem 2: 5 mo: 1801; d Oct 2, 1816 f Daniel b Harlem 18: 5 mo: 1805; untraced

Moses Dow adbabba is untraced. When Jonathan and Alexa transferred their membership in 1808 from Harlem, their certificate named all the children except Moses, who was then 19. Perhaps he was bound out. In Palermo nearby there lived a Moses Dow to great age; d May 6, 1879. With him lived Mary Dow and Jane Dow, one his wife, other, his sister. Now, adbabha had no sister of either name. Moses is still remembered in the vicinity from his poverty and lameness, having two clubbed feet. He had a large family, one being Charles, who moved to Camden. A search in 1923 failed to find him. Hannah B Dow of Palermo m (int May 7, 1870) may be a dau, but the larger family of Palermo Dow was not related.

An elderly resident of Palermo recalls that the 1st born of Moses was 1u1.med Frank. Moses also had a dau,-Mahala, said to be named for her niother. If this is so, Mary and Jane were presumably daughters of Moses.

John Dow adbabbb m Mary Meader and is known to have had 4 sons, 5 dau. It is vaguely stated that he had sons John Meader b China 1816 and Benjamin, but there is no definite trace. Beyond reasonable

doubt there is a considerable posterity of adbabb, much now in our Maine disconnected chapter, but not a single member is traced. A rec which presumably belongs here is: Moses W Dow of Brooks m Belfast Aug 24, 1856, Maria H Jellison of Waldo.

Mary Dow adbabc m Berwick 23: 8 mo: 1787, John Buffum d 7: 1 mo: 1812, son of Joshua and Elizabeth. His 1st wife was Hannah Rogers. Mary's children:

She was a traveling Quaker preacher, well known throughout the two States. The family moved many times from one meeting to another. In the Berwick minutes is still preserved the copy of John's dismissal from Vassalboro: 25, 3 mo, 1803. To the monthly meeting of Friends at Vassalborough. John Dow having requested a removal Certificate to your Monthly Meeting for himself and family, we therefore certify you that he and Zilphia his wife are members of our Monthly Meeting and we recommend them with their children Hannah, Otis, Mary and Oliver, who are also members. Joshua Jenkins, Clerk.

The family finally settled at Branch Mills, pioneers of the place, a hamlet being made by clearing the forest. A 30-mile horseback trail to Augusta, marked by blazing the trees, was for some years the only outlet to civilization. Children:

Perhaps Richard had been mittened by the Vassalboro girls; more likely he had thoughts of matrimony only after starting Berwickward. In 1806 he was dismissed from the Friends.

214 THE BOOK OF DOW

David Dow adabia went early to Andover or Lawrence, Mass, and learned the mason trade; was employed all his life as head mason of the Pacific Mills, in charge of construction. Susan S Walker was a real daughter of the Revolution, recognized by Act of Congress, as was cus­tomary in such instances. The couple lived long in Lawrence and had a large family, which is now well scattered. The only ones known to the Author are grandsons,-Arthur Dow Prince, of G C Prince & Son, Lowell, and Walter E Dow of Lawrence.

Lorenzo Dow adbabic moved in 1853 to Newfields, NH; for over 40 years in the Swampscott machine works; over 30 years deacon of Con­gregational church; m May 31, 1848, Elizabeth A Winslow of Notting­ham, dau of Colcord and Miriam (Harvey). He d Sept 22, 1901; she Jan 16, 1909. Children:

a Isophene Kimball b 1852 b Annie Hilton b 1855; unm

Isophene K Dow adbabica was for about 20 years teacher of gram­mar grades Claremont, N H, where her sister taught for several years in primary grades, and where both will be long remembered. A severe disciplinarian Isophene had more than any other teacher in the history of the town ability to train the young mind and retain in after years the respect and love of former scholars. The two sisters abandoned teaching to care for their aging parents in Newfields.

Hannah Dow adbac of Kensington received a legacy of 250£ 0 T from her father; m Jan 3, 1759, Samuel Collins, son of Tristram and Judith of Hampton Falls. Four children of this well known Quaker couple married Dows. Hannah and Samuel went to Weare, thence with 4 oxen and 1,700 Spanish dollars to Durham, Me. Children:

HENRY Dow adf inherited a farm adjoining that of his brothers Joseph and Jeremiah, a large piece of land bought in 1683 be­ing cut into three parts. Part of this was low, swampy and

overgrown with elders. Thrt>'ugh this swamp crept the Indians in the great raid of Aug 17, 1703, described by Francis Parkman. They were first noticed by Joseph Dow ada, who ran to the nearest blockhouse with the alarm. One of the first victims was Henry Dow's kinswoman, widow Muzzey, a talented speaker among the Friends and greatly respec­ted in the community. She was passing by the swamp, was seized, dragged into the woods, and her brains beaten out with a tomahawk. Ordinarily, the Quakers and Indians got along in perfect harmony, quite a few Indian children living with Quaker families and being educated. This raid was by Canadian Indians, inspired by the French. Henry carried no weapons, nor did his friends. He suffered as much as any from confiscations of property to pay the minister's tax and in fines for refusing to perform militia duty.

Henry m Dec 7, 1694, Mary Mussey b Newbury Nov 23, 1672, d May 18, 1739, dau of Joseph and Esther (Jackman). She became a lifelong minister of the Friends. Henry was the first Dow of Seabrook who realized that the families had grown too large for their lands and that the younger generation should migrate to avoid poverty much more ex­treme than had yet been met with. To this end, he became an original shareholder in Salisbury0 N H, in 1735, one of the earliest upstate pro­jects. Probably he intended to establish his son there, ra.ther than him­self, for he himself felt the burden of years. He kept the hom'e farm and d there, will dated Dec 8, 1738, probated Feb 12, 1739. He left legacies to brothers Jeremiah and Samuel. The estate inventoried 509£. The Salisbury, N H, land came 30 years later into possession of his grand nephew, Gideon Dow adggd. Children:

Samuel Dow adfc d Salisbury, Mass, May 9, 1773; had wife Mary. Family tradition, which has helped the Author much in the Quaker lines, has failed here. Samuel was in Seabrook 1738 and from 1771 until his death. He might have been there all the time between, but no rec of his children are there. His name does not appear in Hist Salisbury, N H, and the vital rec of that town were burned many years ago. We know that Gideon Dow adggd owned the Salisbury, N H, property from 1772. The Author believes that Samuel and family lived in N H, coming back to Seabrook two years before his death. In that case the children would be b Salisbury, NH. The list of them was inherited by the present Author, who does not know their authority. It is a strange coincidence that the names repeat those of children of Samuel Dow adk, and these two Sam­uels were badly confused by one Dow genealogist:

a Sarah; one would expect herb about 1728 b Jabez; went to Portland, Me. Now, Jabez Dow adkg did go to Falmouth,

Me. Jabez is untraced; did he exist? c Samuel; no doubt of his existence d Josiah; another duplicated name with adk line

Samuel Dow adfcc. Epping 1790 census gives a notable coincidence. Samuel Dow appears la, 2b, 3c; that is, 2 sons b later than 1774 and 2 dau. Josiah Dow appears 2a, lb, 4c. All the other Dow in the Epping census are accounted for in the ahba and adaab lines. Samuel and Josiah are not found in Epping church rec. They were Quakers. Moreover, Amesbury Friends rec contain Josiah's family. Perhaps Samuel was not a permanent resident of Epping. We cannot guess Samuel's sons; the dau are reasonably certain:

a Elizabeth m Salisbury May 21, 1769, Joshua Collins, cordwainer of Lynn, son of Joshua dee

b Judith of Salisbury (both specified as dau of Samuel) m July 21, 1770, Jacob Collins, cordwainer of Lynn, brother of above. This family of Collins were staunch Quakers

It is with the utmost chagrin that the Author is compelled to leave this Quaker line so poorly traced.

QUAKERISM began in this country about 1665 with a great growth which persecution gives and threatened to convert the country. So long as Quaker martyrs hung from gallows or languished in

jail, their numbers increased. In half a century there was no more martyr­dom, but persecution on all sides, mostly petty, from which no one stood aloof, but often seriously impoverishing, continued. So long as it con­tinued, the Quakers increased their numbers and continued to dream of conquering the world for universal peace. By 1725 persecution was ended; there was nothing more than a sort of social ostracism. Then, the Quaker body recognized that there was no more net growth. They began to regard themselves as a remnant and a peculiar people; right they thought, in their own convictions, but no longer gaining by prose­lytizing. There was over a century of this isolation, of constant combat to prevent going outside the Society, of attempting to restrict marriages to the limits of the Society. Two great schisms occurred inside the Soc­iety. These tended to reduce greatly the numerical strength of the Quaker body. In 1725 the danger to the Seabrook Quakers was the with­drawal of their own children to escape the social ostracism which com­pelled poverty.

Jeremiah Dow adg lived through and in his person typified- the culmination of the Quaker movement. In his young manhood every person in his community was Quaker and regular attendance at all meet­ings, either for worsliip or business, was universal. He lived to see the loss to Quakerism of every one of his children, to see himself left absolute­ly alone, deserted, impoverished almost to the point of pauperism, to see the uncared-for home in which he died at the age of about 96. There was no one left to record his death.

Almost a11 his vital records are extant and not a few of his vicissitudes. Returning at 7 from exile with his parents, he worked the next 13 years on his father's farms. Hem ae 19, Apr 5, 1697, Elizabeth Perkins b Apr 9, 1676, dau of Abraham Jr and Elizabeth (Bleeper). This marriage was in line with his whole life. Abraham Perkins Sr had come from Wales, was the father of New Hampshire; m Mary Wise, dau of Humphrey, who came himself to America a few years later. Abraham stood high in Hampton, marshal in 1654, selectman 8 years in all. His son Ab­raham had m the dau of another Hampton pioneer, but was one of the twelve original Quakers and with Joseph Dow ad the leader i.n:to the new colony of Seabrook. In the great Indian raid Abraham Jr as killed by tomahawk on his own door step. The records of Jeremiah Dow appear as of Hampton, Hampton Falls, Salisbury and Seabrook. All these refer to a single place, his inherited farm near the Salisbury border. It was far from being the best farm which Joseph left. It had a fresh water

222 THE BOOK OF DOW

swamp and much overgrown waste ground. As times went, it would support four occupants; but Jeremiah supported a large family as well as caring for others. Every one of his brothers possessed more business ability. Jeremiah tilled his farm, seeming to stake everything on his faith alone. He realized that his crop was not to be harvested in this world. He was the freest giver, taking the least for himself. Tall, lean, taciturn, severe, frowning on all which is usually considered innocent pleasure, his house was, no doubt, a cheerless place, one which his chil­dren escaped from gladly. The helpless old maid, the orphan stayed. In Meeting one spoke if the Spirit moved, otherwise remained silent. It always moved Jeremiah to sit in silence under his broad-brimmed hat, to criticize no one for differing on some point of faith or works. His be­came a patriarchal figure, greatly respected by the right-minded, but the right-minded grew fewer and fewer.

Until Joseph ad died, all went fairly well. That able man was able to fend off all harm a:p.d the even more powerful Capt Henry Dow ab saw to it that no man injured his brother's family. Trouble began in 1701, when the authorities decided to levy forcibly upon the Quakers for their share of the Minister's tax. No Quaker would pay for the support of what he considered the greatest of abominations,-a hireling ministry. There was a poll tax, from which one was free by serving in the militia. Consequently, every man of proper age served in the militia. The Qua­kers were willing to pay thls poll tax, but the authorities decided to ad­minister fines for refusing to perform military service. In 1701 "Isaac Morrill Jr, constable for the previous year, did take from Jeremiah Dow a quart pot, a pair of fire tongs, a tray, and a cake of tallow to satisfy the hireling minister, Caleb Cushing, for preaching." The constable levied forcibly also on the neighbors, seizing guns so generally that there was almost none left in the community at the time of the great Indian raid of 1703. Not that the Quakers would have then used their guns; they merely ran to the block houses. There was no legal process; one could mulct a Quaker at will. "Taken from Jeremiah Dow of Salisbury one cow valued fifty shils without showing any warrant due by ye Clark of ye train band which Clark said was for not appering to traine & being wanting there seven days." At the same time a cow was confiscated from Henry Dow adf for the same reason.

At a town meeting some wags nominated Jeremiah for the office of Constable, well knowing that he would not take any office, especially one which required the use of physical force. The point of the jest lay in the Statute that any one elected to public office and refusing to serve should, unless a satisfactory substitute was produced, be fined 5£. Happily in this instance his cousin Simon volunteered to take the office and no one dared to trifle with Simon Dow. It was 1721 before these mulctings ceased.

Meanwhile matters were going from bad to worse at home. A~

poverty increased, he "bound out" his sons as fast as he could. The social life of inner Seabrook had not become a beautiful one. Drunken­ness and irresponsibility were everywhere. The home of Joseph Dow ada was part of the new Seabrook. Charity Dow, his sister, sweet pure Quakeress, took refuge with Jeremiah, so did his aged mother. There grew up a lad in Jeremiah's home, reputed to be Jeremiah's own son. This lad was the closest of lifelong associates of Judah Dow adai, the baby of Joseph's family. One of his nephews killed a man in self-defense but it was in a drunken row and he was hanged for it. Two of his sons enlisted, to the neighbors' satisfaction. Part of the farm was sold to pay debts. Wife and sister died; all the children departed. A legacy came in 1768 from Samuel Dow, his brother, but even this was tied up for five years until the old man was dead. The children of Jeremiah:

So far, about a dozen cases of disagreement have been settled by discovery of proof in Seabrook, and in each case the Author has been right, having had all of Hoyt's evidence in advance. Therefore, the Author remains positive. Jan 15, 1748, this couple became members of the Salisbury church, formal repudiation of the faith of their grandsires. They moved

Samuel Dow adgcac. After many years of study, the Author is as uncertain of this line as he was in the beginning. A dozen known facts cannot be merged into one identity without discrepancies. Samuel Dow b 1760 is a Revolutionary pensioner 1850 in Chichester. Samuel Dow of Bow appears in 1790 census as la, 1 b, 2c, quite plausible. That census places with Bow all the Dows of Pittsfield and Chichester. Samuel Dow of Bow made his will Oct 13, 1803; probated Nov 14. Samuel Dow of Bow m Jan 22, 1784, Betty Maxfield of Chichester. Samuel Dow of Bow m Epsom Dec 27, 1786, Sarah Fellows of Chichester. Now, a strange coincidence: John Dow of Bow m Oct 20, 1786, Abigail Fellows of Chi­chester. The same John Dow is in Bow 1790 census la, 2c. What John is this, and what was his connection with Samuel? Odd if two unrelated Dows of Bow m two Fellows girls of Chichester about the same time. The easiest guess is that Samuel m twice.

Further discrepancies appear. The will of Samuel Dow of Bow was administered in 1803 by James Ordway and inventoried $577.10. The family Bible 'of William Dow says he was born June 1, 1785, the son of Samuel and Sarah. This date does not fit. Moreover, William had an older half brother. Family tradition has it that William had several half brothers or sisters. Of course, the family Bible may not have been begun in the time of a 1st wife. The family tradition that William was executor of his father's will is patently error, for he was but 18. We know that William had an own brother and own sister. Again, we must assume. vVe give the children:

a Plummer. Family tradition has it that he was a farmer of Enfield with a family of his own when he cared for a baby son of his half brother William. .i\s no such Dow appears in Enfield rec, we doubt the place and even doubt the correctness of the name. He is of course untraced

Joseph Dow adgcad. Instead of clearing up on new evidence, the situation becomes more obscure. Joseph Dow came from Seabrook to Pittsfield; m Pittsfield Feb 18, 1783, Sarah Berry b Rye, then of Chi­chester, bap 1761, dau of Timothy and Mary (Tucker); she m 2nd Chi­chester Mch 27, 1805, Thomas Lake of Pittsfield. This Joseph had (fide a grandson) a cousin, Jonathan Dow of Chichester. There is reason for thinking this a lost line of adg. Joseph Dow m Epsom Nov 6, 1786, Rhoda Ring of Chichester, and he seems to be the true adgcad. The names of the Chichester Dow seem to have been duplicated through­out. Our informant says that this Joseph had brothers,-William (who has not appeared) and Samuel, who d at sea. If this last be correct, it throws all the more doubt on the identification of Samuel, called herein adgcac. That all are of adg line, probably adgb, is almost certain.

To Joseph and Rhoda only one child is known: a Joseph b Pittsfield about 1787

There were at least 2 more children and the gap of about 13 years indicates that this is far from all:

Jabez Dow adgcag disappears with the defective rec of 1784. Pre­su;mably he went to Chichester with his brothers. The name Jabez recurs in China, Me, the settlement of which began 1774. Recurrence of name Perley is strong evidence that the children of Jabez turned up in China, there before 1820. By this time the place was busy with mills devoted to handling lumber and paper. It is an unavoidable inference that Jabez adgcag had 3 sons, perhaps more dau:

WE admit that for a red-blooded lad or vigorous young man the home of Jeremiah Dow, Quaker, was a cheerless place, all work, no play, all poverty, no pleasure. Many men are over-pious;

they drive their children to the other extreme.

David Dow adgd was long lost genealogically, because the records of So Hampton in early days were worse than poorly kept. An old family rec of his wid furnishes the clue to set matters right. He acquired in some way a farm in So Hampton and is the David, farmer of So Hamp­ton, m Salisbury 1753 Naomi Carr. There is a Jonathan Dow, seemingly of adg line, whom Seabrook Dec 14, 1775, Anney Worth, but he does not belong to adgd. David left the Friends; paid minister's tax. He d soon after having an only child and his wid m adke, taking her son with her:

a Robert b So Hampton Aug 11, 1754

Robert Dow adgda (b rec specifies both parents) enlisted Apr 20, 1775, Capt Stephen Merrill, Col Caleb Cushing, served until Nov 14, or longer. No rec of mis found, but in rec of children he is of Salisbury with wife Sarah. Nothing about his personality has been found. The 1790 census finds him la, 4b, 2c. This means that three younger sons are genealogically lost, altho there are many disconnected to choose from. The two known ones:

a Robert b July 23, 1776; untraced b Martha b Oct 1, 1778

Ebenezer Dow adgf, like his brother Gideon, rebelled at the pleasureless home life. Not apprenticed to a trade, he helped cultivate the homestead. He rn early, as was the custom, Oct 24, 1730, Lydia• Ran­lit (Runlet in int). This So Hampton family has defied genealogical tracing. She was always a consistent Quaker. After 1735 he disap­pears absolutely from Hampton Falls rec, but may not have gone far, as he was back in 1759, having 7 or more children. Tradition speaks of him as anything but religious, a wild and reckless man. He seems to have had no occupation except farming. At Hampton Falls Apr 12, 1759, he and brother Gideon enlisted at half pay for the Canadian cam­paign. One may wonder a little at the motive impelling a middle-aged rnari to leave wife and seven small children to go to a war in which he had no interest, and a long journey necessarily full of great hardship and danger. If there was a promise of a land allotment, a motive were easy found. Perhaps he merely sought freedom from home restraint. Gideon died during the campaign. Ebenezer came back somewhat sobered. He rejoined his family; he never followed the Friends, and one son was very like him. The others were influenced by the mother and continued in the Society.

232 THE BOOK OF DOW

The next that appears of him is in Lee 1765. He and son Jonathan signed the petition that Durham be set off as a separate parish. Not that they were affected religiously; a church was the only meeting place and, while the Lee church was miles away, one might seldom greet a neighbor, unless in passing by. Thus Durham began, it being early settled as Oyster River. Nothing further appears of him or Lydia, whether they lived to see the settling of New Durham or of Hollis, Me. There is slight evidence that Lydia was the survivor. Of the children, only the first three have absolute rec. Others are sure, two are based on place and association:

a. Abigail b Aug 4, 1731 b Jeremiah b Apr 12, 1733 e Jonathan b Aug 13, 1735; these 3 by Hampton Falls rec d Ebenezer e Ann; both authenticated fairly, but place and date unknown f John; wholly conjecture based on coincidence of name and Quaker associations g Moses, better authenticated, by place, religion and associations

Jeremiah Dow adgfb. The Author, like most genealogists, began with earliest known facts and worked downward as far as facts permitted. Thus, after many years, he had a single line from adgfb to date and a mass . of smaller lines to be placed conjecturally. The late Edgar R Dow had• not the present-day libraries. He was a letter ·writer; he begun with· living Dows and worked until he got back as far as possible. At last he found, 1884, a descendant, genealogically inclined, who had studied all possible family sources and was able to bring back a host of Dows to an earliest known ancestor, Jeremiah. In 20 years Edgar Dow could not find the identity of Jeremiah. In 1923 the Author received the great aggregate of scraps which Edgar had kept. From these, adding his o~n knowledge, it was easy not only to establish the connection, but to find the wife and every child of adgfb. He was of Little Falls, Me, in 1790, the census giving him 2a, 2c. The oldest children had married and gone. Jeremiah Jr was la, lb, 2c. Ebenezer Dow was la, 2c, his older ones married and gone. Ebenezer Jr was 2a, 2b, 6c. Samuel was la, 2c. Jeremiah and his brothers were settlers of Hollis when it was an uncleared -forest. Jeremiah had also been an early settler of New Durham, its pioneers coming direct from Durham. He was at one time of Tamworth.

His wife was Martha Goodwin; when and where they were married is not known. She is unknown genealogically. Her family gave the name to Goodwin's Mills, a hamlet of Hollis. In later life she was of So Tamworth. The list of children is authoritative, al tho dates are lacking:

a Hannah b Betsey c Abraham d mun d Samuel e Jeremiah f Ebenezer g Charles h David

Order of birth probably correct

Hannah Dow adgfba m Daniel Evans, tanner and shoemaker of New Durham. Both d New Durham. Children:

a Lydia m Joseph Palmer of Tuftonborough; 4 or 5 children . b and c --, sons

THE BOOK OF DOW 233

Betsey Dow adgfbb (Elizabeth) m William Eastman, both of Tam­worth.

Abraham Dow adgfbc is not to be confused with his nephew, Abra­ham Dow of Saco, Me, adgfbfb.

Samuel Dow adgfbd appears in the 1790 census of Little Falls. His movements thereafter are complicated by errors, one of which is giving Hollis, NH, instead of Maine. His being at Vassalboro, Me, is open to much doubt. It is certain that he was a farmer of Hollis moved comparatively late in life to Gilmanton. His wife was Hannah Wadleigh. This name is interchangeable with W adlin in Hollis; there were several intermarriages with Dow. If he lived in Vassalboro at all, it was around 1797. He d Gilmanton 1807 and his wife a year later. Such family as there was scattered quickly and soon lost sight of each other. We have proof of two children, but there were probably more:

a Abigail A b Me 1781; she appears unm in Vassalboro 1850 census. It is probably absurd to make this identification, but the 1790 census calls for a dau

b Jacob b Hollis Aug 7, 1797 (his son wrote Vassalboro as his birthplace; perhaps complete error)

A more trustworthy account comes from another source. Samuel adgfbd went from Hollis to New Durham and farmed it there for several years before buying the Gilmanton farm. He had only one dau, but had either two or three sons besides Jacob. These sons:

c Moses d Stephen

Jacob Dow adgfbdb was a farmer of Gilmanton, later buying a farm in Barnstead; d Barnstead Feb 26, 1883 (son gives May 20), his wife sur­viving. The rec gives m 1st Sarah Swain b Gilmanton Feb 1, 1795, d Gilmanton Apr 5, 186~. Also, Jacob Dow m 2nd Nov 6, 1864, Sarah Swain, ae 69, dau of \Villiam and Sally (Nelson). Errors like this are not rare in official rec. We think there was but one Sarah Swain. That there were three children is proven:

a Theophilus S b Moultonborough July 12, 1828 b Charles W b 1840; shoemaker, enlisted; d Falmouth, Va, Dec 19, 1862, unm,

ae 22-4-27 c Sarah Em Gilmanton Nov 30, 1863, Peleg D Perkins; d Sept 15, 1883

Theophilus S Dow adgfbdba, farmer of Barnstead, inherited the homestead; m Mch 5, 1856, Emma N Cole b Quincy, Mass, Apr 17, 1839, surviving him. He d Barnstead Jan 22, 1913. His letter of 1887 men-tions no children -

Stephen Dow adgfbdd. We have no proof whatever of this iden­tity. Census 1850 Orrington, Me, gives b Me 1801, laborer, realty $100; wife Eliza b Me 1801. Children:

a Samuel b 1836; untraced b Elizabeth b 1839 c Sarah b 1841

The next name in census (no others in Orrington) seems akin: Joseph Dow b Me 1824, cooper; wife Elizabeth b Me 1830. No children in 1850

234 THE BOOK OF DOW

Jeremiah Dow adgfbe was always a consistent Quaker. He was living New Durham when he m Jan 15, 1786, Elizabeth Perkins of Roch­ester. She was not a Friend, was dau of Solomon, grand dau of Joshua, that Perkins family at the time being considered among the "First Families of Dover." In 1850 census Elizabeth is given as b Nottingham 1766, and Jeremiah b 1763. In 1850 the couple were living in Rochester, called farmers but with no land. Both lived to unusual age and were finally living with a married dau.

For a year or so Jeremiah lived with his father-in-law, who gave as a wedding present a. lot of wild land in Hollis, Me, just beginning to be settled. Jeremiah decided to utilize the gift; leaving wife at her father's he journeyed to Hollis and one of the few neighbors (Jeremiah never told his name) pointed out what was ostensibly the Perkins lot. Jeremiah work~d several weeks to clear it and get it ready for building and for plant­ing. Then he learned he had been deceived. His informant had pointed out a lot owned by himself, the Perkins lot being somewhat distant. Jeremiah made a mild request for some payment or satisfaction, but was laughed at, the dishonesty esteemed a shrewd Yankee trick. There were several Quakers in town by then but they showed little sympathy, Jeremiah having married "outside the Society." So, Jeremiah without another word set out to clear the right lot. When this was done and a house built he went back, got his wife and returned to Hollis just in time to get into the 1790 census. They stayed until there were 4 babies. Then Jeremiah got a farm in Tuftonborough, sold out in Hollis and started. Susan Perkins Dow, the family historian, was a baby on this trip, which took two days. An ox cart was rigged with boarded sides covered with bed quilts. An especially heavy bed tick was the cart floor. Ample food had been cooked in advance and herein mother and babies rode in utmost comfort through zero weather, Jeremiah walking alongside. Tuftonborough was their home until very old age came on. Children:

a Polly b John c Solomon d Anna b Apr 12, 1794 e Stephen (b Hollis Mch 7, 1793) f Dolly g Jeremiah b Sept 1, 1800 h Susan Perkins b Hollis July 22, 1806 i Hannah David k Mary d unm

Ebenezer Dow adgfbf is in one family rec b Hollis, another Water­loo, Me. The dates estimated vary from 1765 to 1770; former nearer right, as in 1790 he had 1 dau. He m about 1789 Hannah Page b 1765, d Lowell, Mass, 1853, of the original Page family of Ormsby, Eng. (Cf account of immigration 1637, sub a), of the Quaker branch.

Abraham Dow adgfbfb is not mentioned in family rec, and ident-ification not absolutely proven. He lived Hollis, moving to Saco. It is possible that two Abrahams are confused. Abraham of 1850 census has wife Sarah b Me 1801, two children given. Abraham Dow m Jan 19, 1817, Eleanor Wood, both of Saco. In 1850 called farmer, but with no land. It looks as though there were 1st and 2nd wife.

The young couple bought a farm on the Buzzell road, Hollis, the part soon set off as Dayton. Both lived to ripe old age and the house was recently standing. They were farmers and, there being no convenient meeting, soon drifted from the Friends. They had ten children, losing 2 in childhood from scarlatina; those maturing were (order at random, except that John was eldest, Daniel youngest):

It seems probable, but we lack proof, that he was George Henry Dow, whom Marie Abigail Manchester. Her family is best known on and near Bar Harbor. They separated when their only son was a child and the family kept no trace of him. Two children:

Herbert M Dow adgfbgfaa. Rec of son gives his wife as Sarah Doyle b Portland. This i1f error. He met and married in Honolulu 1884 Sarah Crandal Lyle of Halifax, N S. They finally separated legally. Seven children, all b Honolulu, all living 192-4:

Aaron Dow adgfbhc is here from the account given by Mrs Dunster. He first appears in Salem, Mass, as a steam doctor (Thompsonian system), much criticized by the medical men of the place. Unfortunately one day he scalded a child to death, whereupon he hastened to Boston, where in 1828 he was keeping an intelligence office. In 1835 he was in Newbury­port as a botanist doctor, then headed west. He turned up in Green Valley, Calif, where he made a fortune as a spiritualist. He got possession of and edited the "Banner of Light." He d Calif while waiting for the "earthly grand windup." He had 2 children b Boston, untraced.

There are few disconnected Aaron Dows. Perhaps adgfbhc m rather young. At least some Aaron m Sept 15, 1811, Betsey Kinney, both of Center Harbor. In spite of wording of rec, he may not have lived himself in Center Harbor.

THE BOOK OF DOW 247

Jonathan Dow adgfc. A family Bible exists with entries in his own•hand, continued by a son. He m So Hampton May 24, 1764, Lydia Huse d Feb 19, 1793. This indicates that he and his father may have been much of the time in So Hampton. He was his father's own son, never connected with the Friends. A wild youth, he was always a good fighter,'a a hard drinker, wanderer and venturesome. In Wheelock he seems to have accumulated considerable property. In 1765 he was of Durham with his father and there also 1775, signing the Association Test. One child was b Exeter, another Merrimac. In Gilmanton he was very much at home and his Revolutionary service was from there. He was evidently in close comradeship with the Gilmanton Dows of the ahba and adaab lines. He is probably the Jonathan of Lee la, lb, 2c in the 1790 census. He d Aug 22, 1805, probably in Lee. In 1777 and off and on subsequently for many years he was in Wheelock, Vt, then a trading post on the edge of civilization, trading with the Indians. Very likely he took furs for whiskey, the most profitable form of Indian trade. While nominally illicit, this traffic was general. His family were divided sub­sequently between Wheelock and Gilmanton:

Perkins Dow adgfca appears in Wheelock history until 1813, on the tax list each year from 1793, was a town officer 1800 and 1803. Tra- 1

dition says that he moved to Gilmanton in 1813, but absence of his name there argues he had neither wife nor children.

Olive Dow adgfcb (said in m rec b Gilmanton) m Gilmanton Apr 11, 1786, Nathaniel Thompson b Apr 21, 1765, son of Nathaniel and Eliza­beth (Stevens).

Betty Dow adgfcc m Belmont Mch 15, 1789, Jonathan Dow Jr, both of Gilmanton. It was for years the fashion for Gilmanton folks to be married in Belmont. They appear in 1790 cens'Us la, le, but Jonathan (called 3rd) is not positively identified.

Beniah Dow adgfcd, while with his parents in Wheelock 1777 suddenly disappeared and if ever again known to his parents, it was over 20 years later. It was a spring morning and there had come to town a party of Indians from Newfoundland. They also suddenly disappeared and it was supposed they had kidnapped the lad in hope of ransom. When couriers were sent after them, such a start had been made that the errand was in vain. Beniah in later years said that he went with them

248 THE BOOK OF DOW

from choice. He told his story many hundred times in his old age and it never varied materially. Where he lived for the next five years he was not sure. He contentedly lived the Indian life and gained much repu­tation in his tribe as a hunter and athlete. A good jumper was most high­ly esteemed in Indian circles and Beniah was the best in his tribe. His first contact with civilization was at Quebec. He must have been there for some time, for, while his Indian friends were unable to count above ten, he himself learned to read, write and cipher. From the Indians he learned to make a raw moose hide boot of great serviceability and this knowledge supported him in later life.

At one time he left the tribe and took some position in Quebec, stay­ing six years. But the wanderlust was frequent or constant. He started one day with Joseph Macure, a Frenchman, to Kingsport, P Q, to track deer in the snow. Three were encountered, of which Beniah shot two. A party of Indians had been tracking the same deer and soon came up, much disappointed. As they were of a friendly tribe, they were invited to stay to eat the game and go on for more deer. They stayed together

/ for seven years. Beniah returned to civilization i:n Machias, Me, or Grand Menan. He met Joanna Mitchell and they were married. It is said that she was a Spanish woman and her name was anglicized. This is probably romance; she was b 1777 in Maine, probably of American parents. She was a good wife and mother. She alone could handle Beniah when in his cups.

Cambello Isl was in 1783 allotted to the United States, but for many years it was without government, its defences too good to warrant attempt at seizure. Young Admiral Owen of the British navy used it as a sort of pocket borough, having a legitimate title to most of its land. He took no rent from tenants,-merely he barred Methodists and Catholics, all others welcome with no moral qualifications required. He even issued a paper currency of his own. Naturally, the place became the refuge, first for tories, then for a pirate gang, outlaws. Beniah became a favorite with the Admiral, entrusted with money matters, collecting what revenues there were. He was able to hold his own with the gang, from his strong arm and deadly accuracy with a knife,-an Indian accomplishment. He fought and conquered with hands alone a vicious stallion. He had only one real man fight. An Irishman had arrived, giant in stature, and aspired to become the leading bully. As a challenge he kicked Beniah's dog over the cliff. The rest is Cambello history.

After some years Beniah took account of stock. His wife liked respectability and a baby had come. He had managed so that, while others may have had paper, he had hard silver,-2,000 Spanish milled dollars. He decided to make a run for civilization and, spying one day a passing schooner, he and family rowed out and got aboard. The $2,000 were in a couple of canvas bags. The schooner, bound for Portland, was wrecked; the silver went to the bottom. The party got safely ashore

THE BOOK OF DOW 249

with hand luggage only and four silver dollars which Beniah had in his pocket. Work was found at once. Beniah never used the dollars. His son, Rev Huse Dow, bequeathed them, one to each of his four sons, the most precious legacy he had. Three of them are known in 1923; the fourth should belong to Maj Alexander Dow U S A, but that gentleman has never replied to many letters of genealogical inquiry.

Beniah settled in Paris, years later taking up land in gore no 1, Woodstock, where he and his wife finally died, he ae 81-6-5. Fortune never came his way again. He subsisted by making from house to house his famous moose hide boot, but as soon as he had earned a dollar he quit until next day. He was robust almost to the day of his death, good hearted, kindly, inoffensive, generous to a fault, but when in liquor (often) and crossed was worse than ten wildcats. A piece of personal property saved from the shipwreck was a drinking cup of china (now an heirloom), its blue inscription:

"Come drink and let us sing together, In spite of wind and weather. Come, here's to all ye honest men,­Drink deep and drink again."

No doubt Beniah drank deep and often, but he carried it well. At Gray there was a haunted house, in which no tenant would stay. In­cited by a promise of considerable reward, Beniah organized a party to lay the ghost. The latter, perhaps terrified by Beniah's reputation, confined himself to night noises, from which Beniah located it in an old dry well in the cellar. The party decided at once to excavate the well bottom to find the skeleton of the murdered man from whom all ghosts arise. But first they must wait for reinforcements for which one of the party went to town. They arrived in the shape of two gallons of whiskey. They then dug quickly. At the end of several days nothing had been heard from them and a rescue posse was formed. Beniah and compan­ions were in the well, the toes of each toward the center, each asleep. The demijohns were empty. The ghost never reappeared.

In Paris there was a lawyer whose name was George, but nicknamed Gouge, for his practices. A solemn conclave decided that Gouge had cheated one of the gang and must be "licked." Beniah was chosen as able to do an artistic job. When Gouge got out of the hospital, Beniah was arrested, tried and found guilty. A stiff jail sentence seemed immi­nent, when 61 men came forward and demanded the same sentence, claim­ing to be equally particeps criminis. Public opinion came to the rescue; Beniah was released and Gouge left town.

In later years Beniah stayed a little longer each day in the chimney corner, inclined to tell stories. He had had much danger, some narrow escapes. Once, he admitted he was positively afraid. It was at night when he chanced not to have a pine knot. At a repeated noise, his dog

250 THE BOOK OF DOW

bristled up and refused to go out. A hostile tribe was known to be in the section. He sat for the rest of the night with primed rifle over his knee. In the morning all was well; there were catamount tracks all around, the beast having stayed long. The Indians always camped in one spot until the last morsel of game was eaten. They b,egan with the choicest parts of the deer but never quit until they had boiled the very bones for soup. Then the squaws would locate the next deer that they had buried under the snow. The camp would be transferred alongside. After each feast they went hungry until the next game was killed. Athletic games were often intertribal.

Huse Dow adgfcda was the only member of the family to become a Methodist and a democrat. Upon conversion he became a circuit rider around several towns with his home in Jay. Pay was very small, he was kept on horseback five days a week with hardships which wore him out at 40. Hem Ziipha Drake b Winthrop Mch 6, 1805, dau of Alpheus and Sybilla (Fairbanks), a young belle with many beaux for a small town. She preferred the poor young preacher, making a splendid wife and mother of a hungry Methodist family. Many Indians were around Jay and they came to Aunt Zilphy for many favors. One day she loaned her iron cooking pot to a squaw; as it was not returned three days later, she sent her young son Simon for it. Simon found it, but in the pot, hide, hair and all, was Zilphy's favorite and superannuated dog. In 1850 she was left more or less lonely, as all her sons started for California to seek gold. She lost an eye through erysipelas. She was an old woman when she m 2nd John Hamilton. They lived together in Canton, Ohio, for a couple of years, but neither had any money. They had to separate, he going to his relatives, she to hers. They corresponded regularly for the rest of their lives. His letters invariably began "Respected Madam" and ended "Yours respectfully." Her later days were-in Maine. Children:

Jonathan Dow adgfci was a lifelong resident of Wheelock, Vt, continuing the trading business begun by his father. The late Green­leaf Dow allowed his imagination to run until he himself believed that Jonathan accumulated $2,000, crossed the White Mts on horseback, settled in Avon, Me, re-discovered his brother Beniah · and reunited the family. This was based on an unrelated Jonathan Dow who was of Avon and on various Dow who came to Maine with much silver. There is no evidence that Beniah Dow adgfcd was ever again known to his family after his disappearance at age of 7.

Jonathan d Wheelock Jan 30, 1842; ,vas known as Capt Jonathan Dow Jr. Perhaps the military title was inherited, as he does not appear in the 1812 war rosters. He held occasional town offices and was one of

258 THE BOOK OF DOW

One of the pioneers of Hollis, Me, was brother of Jeremiah Dow, already considered:

Ebenezer Dow adgfd was probably b 1737 and the place was not improbably So Hampton. Of his life until 1790 nothing is known. That he m before 1774 is shown by the 1790 census of Little Falls, which gives him 2a, 2b, 6c, i e, with 3 sons and 5 dau, or 6 dau, if he were a widower. If he continued Quaker is not known, at all events he probably was out of the Society by the time he came to Hollis. When he <l is not known; name of wife never found. Not one child can be proven. There was, however, a large Dow family of Hollis which must descend from him and they spread through Lyman, Buxton, Dayton, and to some slight extent down the valley to Biddeford. The 3 sons can be placed with reasonable certainty, the many girls are genealogically lost. Except for possible omissions in the adgfb line all the local untraced or disconnected Dows belong here. The sons:

a Daniel b before 177 4 b John int pub Hollis Apr 3, 1812, to Betsey Gordon c Oliver, in business for self 1822

The division of children of the first two is wholly by guess.

Daniel Dow adgfda appears positively only once; he joined the Hollis Methodist church 1809, being called Captain. For convenience, we attach as many as possible of the children to him:

a William b (say) 1810 b Ebenezer; his wife b 1814 c Daniel b (by census) 1812

William Dow adgfdaa is known only by mention in d rec of son: may be the true adgfbfd.

a Simon Black b 1836 by d rec, which gives Hollis or Strafford, (N H)

Simon B Dow adgfdaaa m Newmarket, NH, Sept 6, 1859, Loisa L Gordon (sic in rec, but she was Lucinda Day Gordon b Kennebunkport). He enlisted 1861 from Hollis; after the war he was for many years a mill watchman in Biddeford; d Jan 1, 1898, ae 61. Inquiry in Biddeford has failed to elicit the 4 older children:

e Susia Mb Biddeford July 15, 1892; m (as Lurie May), mill operative, Oct 21, 1917, William Edwin Dow adaabfdi: Further untraced

Ebenezer Dow adgfdab appears in 1850 census as farmer of Dayton; assessed $3,000; wife Sarah Drew b Me 1814. Census gives 2 children, unlikely that there were more:

a Lydia b 1837 b Albert b 1839

Oliver Dow adgfdc is, we must admit, arbitrarily placed.' His first . appearance is in Buxton, where in 'l:822 he bought out the iumber business of his employer, subsequently succeeding, as in 1850 his assessment was $7,000. He m about 1832 Harriet Taylor b Me 1809, dau of Amos and Nancy (Haley). Libby Gen has this family badly garbled, calling her Sarah Haley. She b Waterboro. Children, of whom 5 in 1850 census:

John m (int pub Gloucester May 28, 1774) Lucy Brewer. Next year he enlisted from Rowley and was making Ipswich his home in 1777.

Moses Dow adgfg. We must have a Dow, early settler of New Dur­ham, old enough to have a grandchild by 1827. We know that the only early Dows of New Durham were the adgf members. We find a fugitive rec: Moses Dow of New Durham inherited for his wife part of the estate of Col Thomas Wallingford, reputed to be one of the richest men in the State. Elsewhere we find that Col. Wallingford, merchant, d Aug 4, 1771, ae 74. Another heir was a Wentworth akin to Ahra Wentworth adbabb. Here is clearly a Quaker connection. In adgfb, Quaker line, we have two untraced Moses Dows, but both are too young by at least a dozen years to fit either requiremen\t, altho one of these was known to live for some years, at least, in New Durham. As no one has searched the early parish rec of New Durham, the town rec being worthless, the only working hypothesis is to give another son to Ebenezer Dow and Lydia Ranlit. As the next known name is Jeremiah, the thing is all the more plausible. What family had Moses we know not. The earliest known member of a long line is :

a Jeremiah, probably b before 1800

Jeremiah Dow adgfga m Mary Hall, both of New Durham. They had a large family, some of whom no doubt are in the mass of upstate disconnected rec. Only three are recalled, and order not known:

In 1921 he pub­lished a book on Sociology for general use. This became quickly recog­nized as a master work and has placed him at the head of his branch of study.

IT is but natural and wholly pardonable that the Author of a Gen­ealogy should become a little more prolix in treating his own par­ticular line of descent.

Gideon Dow adgg m Nov 12, 1735 (int pub Oct 25), Lydia Perkins b Nov 1, 1714, dau of Benjamin and Lydia McCrease). She was his cousin, Quaker, altho she permitted the baptism of her children in church. Gideon had been a wild lad and grew more reckless as time went on. The playless rigidity of his father's home was hateful, but when, soon after marriage, he got a farm of his own its work grew more and more distasteful. As his family increased, it produced compara­tively less.

Gideon paid minister's tax to avoid annoyance but he had as little use for church as for meeting house. His sons were apprenticed as early as practicable. After 25 years of married life he sought relief or novelty by enlisting at half pay with a considerable company of Hampton Falls men for the Canadian campaign. All these got half pay.

Gideon was twice the age of the average recruit.

DB Hoyt, Old Families of Amesbury and Salisbury, insists that the 1st born was Samuel bap July 30, 1738, and doubts the existence of Daniel. Mr Hoyt's Samuel cannot even be adfcc. As is frequently the case, Mr Hoyt argued without any knowledge of Seabrook town rec, which became accessible to the Author years after Mr Hoyt prepared his volume

Jeremiah Dow adggbg seems to have been in Seabrook 1824; unsafe to attach any further rec to him

IT may be that in this broad land all men are born free and equal, but they cannot remain so with differing abilities, free competition and unequal environment. The first settlers of Hampton had an almost

equal chance at the start, for the land allotments were fair and, if one man came with a little more cash than another, that became equalized in a few years. The second generation was also well provided for and be­came but little unequal, as one of greater ability rose a little higher than his fellows. The 3rd generation was less fortunate, as population in­creased. In the whole community there was room for not over a score of the best minds to rise above the common lot of the farmer or fisherman. All but the minister. a few manufacturers and a few store keepers had to farm, at least as a side issue. The public officials got nominal pay only. Each citizen had to raise a little cash, for taxes, utensils, a few articles of wear. Meanwhile, the cost of living had on the whole increased. Farm products had not. Besides, each farm had to support at least twice the population it did originally. Currency nor commerce had come Hampton way. Its very site had been selected for its abundance of salt grass. Its harbor was well nigh worthless. Portsmouth and Newburyport took all the shipping. To escape practical starvation, the youth of Seabrook, Hampton and elsewhere nearby, had to take to the manufacturing towns, to go to sea or become shoemakers. As soon as the Indian menace was removed from the interior, the best minds of Seabrook decided that the greatest promise of the future lay in pioneering. The less ambitious were those who remained at home, working for little more than board and lodg­ing, but getting a taste of the effeteness which, in its primitive way, had already come to the old settlements. The loafer of 1750 merely worked about twice as hard as men did a century or so later. The posterity of Joseph Dow, landed magnate if he chose to be, soon found itself among the poorest. Emigrate or starve was recognized by Henry Dow adf while he was still prosperous.

The land of Salisbury, N H, a hillside slope with poor soil over granite rock, comparatively poor site even for inland New Hampshire, was settled, as its name indicates, by younger sons from Salisbury, Mass. Here, there was never an organized Quaker colony. Henry's family finally decided to return to former haunts and the original grant was traded to a cousin.

Gideon Dow adggd had been a shipwright's apprentice and after his father's disappearance became the mainstay of the family, providing for mother, sister and perhaps one brother. It is vague family tradition that he came to Salisbury, NH, in 1767. He seems to have bought the adf land in 1772. He had m a Greeley girl,. whose kin were pioneers of Salisbury. The Greeley farm adjoined the Dow farm. The Horace

268 THE BOOK OF DOW

Greeley line passed through here on the way to NY State. The Webster farm adjoined the Dow farm on the other side, and here Daniel Webster was born, playmate of the Dow boys. Hist Salisbury mentions no Dow between Henry, the grantee, and Gideon in 1776. He signed the Asso­ciation Test and volunteered May 27, 1776, in a home reserve force whose object seemed to be to guard against a possible invasion from the north rather than to enter the NY or seacoast campaigns.

Just as he had been an unselfish family protector in his youth, Gideon the old man was dictatorial, almost intolerably so accord:.ng to 20th century notions, just but always severe. He had many idiosyn­cracies, one of which was that he should eat no salt. For 60 years there was a separate bread-baking for his especial use. When children had grown up and gone away, Gideon and his wife had no further incentive to work the farm. They sold it and made a home with the most energetic of the sons, in Plainfield, NH. Here both passed a comparatively easy old age. Both d 1826; buried side by side in the original cemetery by the north border of the town. Some years ago both gravestones were glassed in to guard against further encroachments of time and weather.

Jeremiah Dow adggdc supported his parents in old age, just as they had supported their mother. At age of 21 he had taken his slender savings and parents' blessings, joined a party to found Salisbury, Vt, out of the wilderness. Jeremiah was as easy-going as his father was dic­tatorial. He became obsessed with the idea that he could better himself by frequently swapping farms, and thus had at least seven in succession in Morristown, Milford, Pomfret, Vt, and Plainfield, N H. The first Plainfield farm was near the Meriden border, had a clay subsoil and was quite stony. He swapped this for a farm on the Plains, selected because it was easier to hoe. That it was a sand bank was ignored.

Altho he had a large family he listened to the call of 1812 and en­listed, backed up by his wife. He contracted in the service what was called chronic asthma, really valvular heart trouble, and from this was unable to lie down for over 20 years, sleeping in a chair. In 1910 this chair stood exactly as he left it. He received a small and much needed pension. He deeded in old age his farm to his son for maintenance for himself and wife. The deed is holographic and mentions $300 penalty for violation of its provisions; specifies the room to be his, bed and bed-

deng for self and wife, the cow (provided he or his wife did the milking), use of a certain horse or successor thereto, a particular buggy and sleigh, a certain wood lot for pocket money.

To mild-mannered, long suffering Jeremiah Dow came ·a better half of the most resolute kind, with a touch of red in her hair, and whom, did she decide upon a course of action, no convulsion of nature could check. She was Kesiah Sessions, dau of Resolved and Elizabeth (Childs). Resolved appears 4 times in Vt Rev rolls, paid 6s as speed horseman Mch 9, 1781, at Ft Fortitude, 4 days and mileage under Capt John Throop; (as Solvad) 14 days and 20 miles under Capt Edmund Hodges; repairing Ft Bethel 3 days from Aug 10,, 1781, Capt Bartholomew Durkee.

Kesiah had decided views on bringing up children. In each feather bed (Kesiah raised geese for the feathers) were lodged 2. Did they squab­ble on a winter night, Kesiah took from the shed an icy crowbar and laid it down the exact middle. A story since told of almost any one is at­tributed to her. One day Jeremiah had started afoot for the village and had progressed half a mile when he heard the fish horn used for emergencies or to summon distant workmen to dinner. He trudged back and was greeted:

"Jeremiah, you forgot something." "Well." "Jeremiah, you forgot to kiss me." Next Sabbath Jeremiah remained on his knees an unusually long

time: For, had he not blasphemed la~t Tuesday? Kesiah's grandparents were Simeon and Sarah (Dana), d ae 96 and

94 respectively, pioneers to Pomfret from Pomfret, Conn. Sarah's brother was an original grantee of Lebanon, N H. Materials for a Hist of the Sessions Family fail to find this line. In the copy in the library of the Sons of the Revolution, Los Angeles, the Author has inserted the complete line.

The farm in Plainfield passed out of the possession of the family in 1912, its barrenness having other tillers. It had been a poor support and about 1821 the situation was exactly the same as in Seabrook in 1737. Most of the family must emigrate or starve. The oldest son was the only one to realize this.

Prentis Dow adggdcc had the advantage of unusual physique, so was able to lie awake and read long into the night. Many the time Kesiah had risen at midnight and angrily snuffed out his candle, for the boys had to be up and at their chores before sunrise. In 1819 a party organized to go to Michigan. Prentis arranged with some of its members

THE BOOK OF DOW 271

to work his way with them. He took $14 the share saved up for his in­heritance, and a blessing, but, being the oldest, he received also his father's watch, truly typical, sterling but an unreliable time keeper. In Michigan they carved a town out of the forest. Prentis Dow was its first school master; was comparatively well read and able to lick any two pupils simultaneously. Opportunity, the good lady, soon knocked at his door. Prentis noticed from the first the wisdom of establishing close friendly relations with the Indians who came regularly with furs to sell to the Cleveland dealers who came with manufactured goods once a year. These merchants soon noted that Prentis Dow bought furs out of season to better advantage than they could. He soon had a well established business. The merchants invited him to come to Cleveland, promising backing in a mercantile career. In a few years he made a partnership with Irad Kelley, son of a pioneer of the Western Reserve. They married sisters. The business was pdmarily dry goods, but grew to jobbing and wholesaling. Being well looked upon at the bank, they could often re­discount at a profit endorsed notes.

The original parchment genealogy prepared by Venerable Bede for Alfred the Great is still preserved in Westminster. This traces Alfred's line to Adam, much as the lines of the Irish kings are traced. The Irish lines favor Shem, why not Japhet we do not know. The Alfred line is Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainen, Malaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methu­saleh, Lamech, Noah (whose wife's name, by the way, is Norida), and Sceaf. This last was born in the ark, at least so Bede says.

It has escaped the notice of many students of this clearly fabricated document that the 48 generations occupy exactly 4;800 years of orthodox chronology.

272 THE BOOK OF DOW

The Pease family were intensely Presbyterian; Prentis Dow a nominal Congregationalist of Quaker s~ock. Why the couple went to an Episcopal church to be married, all their descendants hap Episcopalian and Prentis and wife active church members in it all their lives, was never explained to the Author by his grandparents. Two children came.

Within five years of his arrival in Cleveland Prentis Dow was a well established man on the road to wealth and controlling several businesses, including a paper mill in Cuyahoga Falls. He planned a bank. Mindful of his brothers on the barren Plainfield farm, he sent for them, and all came except Hiram, who was established as a physician. It was his plan to place a brother at the head of each line of controlled industry. It did not work, and only one brother continued with him. Alexander Mitchell controlled for the Scotch bondholders what is now the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul RR. He put Prentis Dow in charge as trustee. In 1861 he abandoned Cleveland, for President Lincoln needed a trusted confidential agent in the great gun factory established in Windsor, Vt. In spite of ·the pecuniary sacrifice, Prentis accepted this gladly. It was 4 miles from his old home. Trips to Washington were only about 3 times a year. At the end of the war, his varied interests, railroad and banking, necessitated his.living near NY City; he lived in East Orange, NJ, and Fordham, N. Y. At the lat,ter place, he boarded. Financial difficulties forced his landlady to withdraw. Rather than give up his comfortable quarters, he bought the establishment. After a year in Europe, the grand tour, he decided to retire, his son well establish_ed. He chose Claremont, N H, 14 miles from the old Plainfield home. To this place he imported all the help from Fordham, two maids being in his family nearly 40 years, the others soon establishing themselves in Claremont. There was one house in town which he wanted. He bought a cottage which backed against this and waited. The house was bought at auction a year or so later. It was the Tappan mansion, a replica of a Virginia Colonial, built by Abolitionist John Tappan in 1839, and filled with mahogany much of it traceable back to Colonial times. The adjoining cottage was turned over to two sisters from Plainfield, soon to be joined by a brother returned from Ohio. One room in the mansion was long known as the Bishop'~ room; it was always kept in readiness for Bishop W W Niles while in town on his diocf:)san rounds. During the last year of Grandfather's life the Author was in High School and a daily visitor. The score of the daily game,s of dominoes, seven up, euchre, backgammon, etc, was over 2,000 that year. On a winter's day he drove a spirited span somewhat too long in the keen wind; dying Mch 25, 1885.

His wid survived until Nov 10, 1900, to idolize the grandchildren. At the age of 70 she broke her hip, which inconvenienc,ed h~ for several

THE BOOK OF DOW 273

months. Aft,ey discarding crutche,s, she took to a can,e, but soon dis­carded that because it did not look becoming. Fifteen years later she fell down a flight of 21 stairs and apparently came out unhurt. As she had favored for 30 years a heart disease, the shock told upon her and she d six months later. At the time of her marriage she transposed her name and was always known as Martha L Dow.

Robert K Dow adggdcca grad Kimball Union Academy, as did his father; his young manhood coming during the stay in Windsor, Vt. A couple of vacations were spent in the office of Carpender & Vermilye, NY City. The railroad at Windsor was the Vermont Central, poorly run, unprofitable, generally in bankruptcy. It was R K Dow's original am­bition to control this railroad. He did not do so for the sole reason that other more profitable railroads always offered themselves. But, it shaped his whole career. His profession was a doctor of sick railroads.

He began in N Y with his father in more or less general banking and security business. A prosperous railroad never appealed to him. It was always a road in or near bankruptcy. As such, he took it, nursed it, never left it until it was prosperous. At one time he became the def acto head of the Philadelphia & Reading. He bought one day as an individual speculation the entire Long Island R R, turning over during the same day a one-third interest to each of two close associates. For many years he ruled the Mobile & Ohio, Memphis & Little Rock, was associated in control of the Richmond & Danville, Iowa Central, East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia, and many others. He put together the many bank­rupt links into the NY, Susquehanna & Western, extending it into the coal fields. The ups and downs of big business fascinated him and were many. Losing millions and making millions were alike a pleasure.

After his father located in Claremont, he decided to do the same, theorizing correctly that in the quiet of the country he could map out his plans with long foresight and during short stays in N Y put them into execution. He decided that more than 2 weeks in the feverishness of stock market circles warped one's judgment, made one attach too much importance to transient matters, dangers or promises. As a matter of fact, he never took a great business loss except when he broke his rule and stayed more than a fortnight in NY. Up to about 1889 it was often profitable to build new railroad in territory which had great need of communication. From 1870 onward he did much of this. Often great tracts of virgin timber, coal and iron, lay easy of development but several hundred miles from a railroad. He became a busy organizer to buy such lands, where the population was often about 1 per square mile, build a railroad through them, finance the road until population came and it be­came self-supporting. In old times States, counties, municipalities helped much by granting land to the railroad or taking its bonds. After 1889 the business was abandoned. It was public policy to look on; if

274 THE BOOK OF DOW

the road failed, the builder was ruined; if the road was a success, new laws regulating rates, wages and what not, virtually confiscated the prop­erty and the builder was ruined. In Georgia the Chattanooga, Rome & Carrollton was successfully built and established as a permanent, profit­able concern. In Arkansas lay for 300 miles hundreds of thousands of acres, each acre purchasable at 50 cents to $1.50, on each at least one black walnut tree worth $50, if transported as far as the river bank. Throughout this wilderness are now dotted a hundred sturdy towns. R K Dow had a steady policy regarding land grants. He sold to bona fide settlers at almost nothing, gave them credit for tools and a year's supply of food and gave 20 years to pay.

In 1894 he became permanently lame from a broken hip, thereafter went to NY less often and stayed longer. It was for 30 years his practice to go almost every Monday and return each Saturday midnight. To most men this would be killing in a year. There were no conveniences, and the trip averaged almost 10 hours. He throve under it because he was able to sleep standing up, if he could lean against a wall. In 1912 he could go back and forth no longer and retired altogether to the Clare­mont home, where he had a library of about 10,000 volumes selected on no particular plan and for no particular purpose, but rich in all kinds of reference books and favoring books not generally found in public libraries. From i869 to 1908 he lived in a house bought by himself. Then the family moved to the Tappan mansion.

The Piercy line is not traceable. One Jacob Piercy was a soldier in Lord Howe's army. He deserted up the Hudson to the American lines, was accepted as a recruit, made a good record and was a pensioner in N Y State 1824. He succeeded in m a dau of his captain, Jeremiah Ballard, and was grandfather of Alexander.

Elsie Dupuy was descended from Nicholas Depuis and his wife Catharine (Reynard) DeVos. They were Huguenots who fled from Artois to Holland and thence to New York, by the ship "Pemberton Church" in Oct, 1662. Their second son :Moses was a pioneer in what is now Ulster County. Elsie Dupuy was born in Ulsterville, Ulster County, Sept 12, 1813, died Orange, NJ, ,Jan 20, 1848. The Chauncey Depew line is from the third son of the immigrant.

Fannie Dow adggdcb never married. For the 26 years that the Author remembers her she devoted every possible hour to her flower garden, up to a fortnight of her death, Mch 5, 1894. In 1820 or there­abouts every young woman was expected to be a good housekeeper and cook, as well as a good mother. If she had been a good housekeeper, the Dow genealogy would have had another line; if she had been a good cook, this Book never would have been written, for Aunt Fannie made it pos­sible. As it was, she never married. The hard worked farmer needed his supper, promptly and with certainty; would run no chance of coming home at sunset to find the tulips all planted, but the dough neglected and

276 THE BOOK OF DOW

fit only for the swill pail. Not that she lacked desire to be a good house­keeper, not that she did not resolve never to fail again; but other am­bitions always intervened. That is why the biscuit dough fell flat. It took only a short time to plant some particular thing, but one weed led to another, and so on until too late. She was sorry, but that did not restore supper. Therefore Fannie's job became more and more attending to grandfather Gideon, for this could be done in the garden, where he liked to sit and tell of old times. Therefore, after his death, Fannie with little spare horse and light buggy went visiting more and more, long trips, seldom taken unless one was going to stay.

The records of Salisbury, NH, were many years ago taken to Concord to be compiled into a complete State vital statistical bureau. While this was finally accomplished, it was at first a political job. The records were stored for years in a wooden building, untouched. They finally burned, irretrievably lost. When, in 1888, the Author's father inspired by Edgar R Dow, sought to elucidate his own line, there was a gap of two generations. Therefore he daily sought Aunt Fannie, pencil and paper in hand. He jotted down her fugitive memories of visiting days and her grandfather's reminiscences. One thing Father could not understand. The place Salisbury was mentioned for almost every gen­eration. There was no distinction between Salisbury, Mass, N H and Vt. One recollection was always clear to Aunt Fannie, the sound of the cannon at the Battle of Lake Erie. All others came haltingly and at intervals; her memory could not be forced or jogged. The result was a mass of little scraps of paper with a dozen words or so to each. Father never cleared them up. The Author found them many years later and has finally interpreted the very last.

"Grand'ther Gideon had a brother Jeremiah who went to Strafford." Now, the genealogist of the adgge line had failed in 20 years to iden­

tify his Jeremiah. This proved it. "Jeremiah was superintendent of the copperas works at Shrewsbury." This is his son.

"Uncle Daniel had a 2nd wife with very black eyes; she had children. His 1st wife named her boy for grandfather; he died in Brandon maybe 10 or 15years before the war."

"Uncle Insley was good; he married Susan Brown up in Corinth; they 2 boys and 2 girls when I visited them. I think they went to N Y State."

To the repeated question who was her grandfather's father, she never could reply; she generally suggested Jeremiah. Finally: "I don't know, but he m a Perkins girl." This jibed with Salisbury rec and proved the line. She never mentioned Seabrook, always Salisbury.

Aunt Fannie, Aunt Eliza and Uncle George lived together in the Middle St home, a short block from the Congregational church, which all attended regularly, as had their grandparents. The Author's father instructed a local physician to drop in once a month under guise of a

social call, but really to look over health conditions. One day the doctor suggested, Aunt Fannie being 91, a little stimulant now and again, perhaps a little glass of sherry with dinner. Aunt Fannie flatly refused. She had seen many go down to drunkards' graves, and it always came from taking the first glass. The Author's father, ever dictatorial, sent over a case of good sherry and a peremptory command. Aunt Fannie obeyed but never without a p;rayer in her bedroom that she should be spared the drunkard's grave.

Uncle George wore his hair long over his shoulders, was absolutely bald on top and liked his after dinner nap. The Author considered long how the flies must love to slide down that polished pate. It was the work of a minute to get out the oil colors and a little turpentine, Uncle not waking, to paint a fine spider to keep them away. In the parlor, never lived in, used only for marriages and funerals, was a dish of broken candy, to be doled out piece by piece.

Thanksgiving day wds the annual reunion1 always at Grandfather's house. With the Cornish cousins, there were generally 17, with 3 helpers in the kitchen. The menu was invariable; no wine except what father brought. Grandfather bought Angelica a bottle at a time and loathed it. There was a turkey at one end, a baked ham at the other. About midway was a dish of scalloped oysters. There was mince pie, pumpkin pie, plum pudding with choice of hard or boiled sauce.

Sol Dow and his cousin Robert K were boys together in Plainfield, the older adventurous and designing much mischief, the younger mild and willing to follow whithersoever the leader went. Sol had a very small voice and his meekness was much imposed upon. An itinerant tin ped­dler was his especial bete noire, using to declaim sonorously: "Sol, Saul of Tarshish, where art thou? And Saul lifted up his voice and cried,

Here I be, Lord."

Sol's final independence was the result of sudden inspiration. His mother gave him 10 cents, bidding him to run 4 miles to Windsor and buy molasses. Returning with pail full, he met the village bad boy and a colloquy ensued: ''What ye got, Sol?"

"Molasses; going to have gingerbread tonight." "Bet ye ain't." "I be, etc." With the final word the bad boy picked

up a handful of road dust and threw it into Sol's pail. Moments passed, anguish, tears, imprecations; then the inspiration. Suddenly Sol lifted his pail, clapped it over the boy's head, it fitting closely over the ears. Still weeping, he arrived home and told his tale. Aunt Elizabeth hunted up uncle Hiram and got another dime; Sol ran back to Windsor. After he had eaten his gingerbread, he sauntered over to ask the bad boy how much it hurt to sit down after his interview with his father in the wood shed. It did hurt.

In one respect Sol was like Job and they usually came in a place which made it agony to sit still in church. One day the boys crossed the river to pick blackberries. The bark on a log was loose and slipped. As Robert rowed Sol. back across the river, Sol shrieked without ceasing, "I'm dead, I'm dead." "No, you ain't, Sol, if you were, you couldn't holler so."

Lucius H Dow adggdci spent a few years in Cleveland but came back and bought a Cornish farm near the Plainfield border. The death of his brother in law left a much better farm without a cultivator, so Uncle Harmon sold hls own, lived on the other until his death. General farm­ing was still the rule when he began. A farm once mortgaged never gets free, in New Hampshire. One cannot compete with hand labor on rocks and thin soil with the level prairies where steam plows handle a thousand acres. So, after sundry vicissitudes, Uncle Harmon devoted his farm to butter-making only and achieved some success. He was a founder of the Cornish creamery which took 1st prize at 1893 Chicago World's fair. He also had agencies for the sale of farm machinery and acted as local wool buyer for several Vt mills until a democratic tariff drove them into bank­ruptcy. He m Lucilla A Smith of Grantham b 1832, d Mch 2, 1863, dau of Cyrus and Hannah (Abbott); 2nd Mch 6, 1866, Isabella M Tracy b 1846, d Mch 2, 1894, a remarkable woman who at 28 became stepmother of five children, all of whom lived long to revere her memory.

The 200-acre farm in Cornish was a second home to the Author, who knew and loved every acre from the bf)ech grove at the highest point, across the hay meadow, with its brook too small for aught but fingerling trout, up the bare pasturage on the north side. Beyond that lay the earliest cemetery of Cornish. In 1880 many stones were readable, but by 1909 not a single stone showed inscription. There were three fine seasons in Cornish,-maple sugar time, autumn, when it was lawful to shoot part­ridges, and midsummer. In sugar time all had to work carrying sap buckets, but in the boiling shed one might make sugar wax in the snow

280 THE BOOK OF DOW

as much as ·he liked. In midsummer one had to work quickly to get in the hay, if a shower threatened, but there was always raspberry pie for breakfast. The highway was a side road up a very long steep hill, a passing wagon such a rarity that all invariably stopped to see whose it was; but the land was good and the hay stood high.

At supper Uncle Harmon read aloud from the semi-weekly paper and commented with a breadth of knowledge which seemed marvelous to the Author. The labor and devotion of Aunt Belle never flagged. Sometimes there was extra help in the kitchen, sometimes not. In haytime there were always many extra hands to cook for. Around the barns there was a host of pigeons, ownerless parasites on the grain bins. The Author suggested the desirability of a pigeon potpie but was always put off by Aunt Belle with an indefinite "some other time." Venturing one day to disobey, he brought in a score of pigeons carefully plucked, cleaned and larded with salt pork, of which there was always an unlimited supply in a barrel. Aunt Belle smiled and thereafter pigeons, squirrels, partridges were always welcome. Many years later the Author realized that to keep a house clean, cook for ten, wash and care for five children and pluck pigeons might crowd the daylight hours. Aunt Belle felt like going to bed at 8 PM.

Sunday was a great day in Cornish. Food for the entire day was cooked Saturday, leaving only coffee to be boiled at sunset. The min­ister took a day off from farming and con.ducted two services, with Sunday school and an hour for dinner between. In the Author's day the minister was Mr Brick House Jackson, to distinguish him from the White House Jacksons, unrelated and further down the road. He believed in pre~ destination, but was always ready to pray for rain. The high-backed pews were ample to hide in and play our innocent games unseen. At midday the men swapped cattle and women discussed affairs of great moment. Toward sundown we drove home realizing what is the end of a perfect day.

adhaa,c. At this time she was a Friend, he. not. No rec is found of her dismissal and it is probable that in Vermont they drifted into the village church, there being no accessible meeting house. For several years the young couple fr~ed in the Quaker part of Pittsfield. Some time after 1791 they arrived at Strafford, Vt, making a permanent home in the forest south of the village. Here he was a farmer; dying Jan 22, 1837.

Benjamin F Dow made an effort many years ago to trace his own ancestry and the quest was continued by his son Dr Frank F Dow adgg­eiba. They had Jeremiah's family Bible, but never got farther back. The Author of this Book was finally found and had proof of the needed identity, giving to Dr Dow all the forbears to 1.520. Dr Dow then worked all the harder and finally succeeded, as he thinks, in tracing every descendant. Unfortunately he was always too busy to help the Author and in 1927 not one word on the adgge line has ever reached him from this source, Dr Dow having suffered a serious stroke of paralysis.

Dr Dow, when a lad, was instructed by his father to start from a point near the Connecticut River and follow upward a little brook which was well marked with red iron oxide and to report what he found at its source. It was a hard all-day tramp for the youngster, almost pathless. The bi:ook finally ended in a tiny red spring, nothing else to be seen. It was near sunset, so that after many minutes he was relieved to spy in a clearing a hundred yards away an unpainted house farm. He knocked at the door and told a woman who he was. It was his great Aunt Sarah, and there were pancakes for supper.. Next day his father came.

Forty years later one of the aunts visited Rochester, N Y and Dr Dow suggested a memory of his childhood visit. On her return she was to examine two large stones on the cellar floor. These were found to be the original marble gravestones of Jeremiah and Rachel, taken up to make way for better ones, stored in the cellar and forgotten.

Benjamin F Dow adggeib d Buffalo Feb 28, 1901; m Sept 5, 1848, Caroline W Capron b Oct 171 1829, dau of Clark Lyman and Martha (Fowler). In 1851 he began to manufacture threshing machines in Logansport, Ind, and soon, as Dow & Fowler, built another large plant in Fowlersville. This was completely destroyed by fire in 1882 just as an order for 100 machines had been booked. A new plant was improvised, so that work on the order began in 3 days and in 8 days 85 hands had been re-employed. Citizens of Peru, Ind, intervened and subscribed $10,000 bonus if the plant would locate there. This was done at cost of $50,000, Benjamin's brother Luman F being a partner. The Fowlers­ville plant was kept as an auxiliary. In the end the properties were sold to the farm machine combination. Mr Dow was able in later life to take a wide interest in affairs in his part of the state; was an organizer and a director always in Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg R R. In 1884 Robert K Dow adggdcca inspected the property with a view to absorbing it for

While in college his professor of geology remarked that, as a general principle, when any one saw a mountain top which no one else wanted, it would be well to buy it. Ten years later Dr Dow was fishing in the north part of the State and encountered just such a hill top, buying it for a few dollars an acre. He then almost dismissed it from his mind. Fifteen years later a stranger called upon him offering to buy the hill for $10,000. Dr Dow decided to look before he leaped and took another fishing trip, taking along a diamond driller. The stranger finally paid about $90,000 for the property, full of fair grade iron ore.

ELIHU Dow adgx. His great grandson, a man of more than average attainments, lifelong resident of Seabrook, well posted in its traditions, stated that he was told by his grandfather Jacob, son

of Elihu, that Elihu was son of Jeremiah Dow adg. The Author knows that Elihu was brought up as a son of Jeremiah, and for this reason, his place in the letter key. It is possibly correct, but all of Jeremiah's chil­dren appear in extant b rec. Elihu and Judah Dow adai were as close to each other as two men can be. Judging from m date, Elihu was b by 1705. He was of So Hampton 17 48; taxed regularly in Hampton Falls until Seabrook was set off; back in Hampton Falls 1763. Hid d rec not found, nor a will. He paid no minister's tax, hence was at least nominally a Quaker. Hem May 6, 1728, Mehitable (Cilley) Eaton, wid of Thomas, dau of Thomas, sister of Eleanor who m Bildad Dow adah.

292 THE BOOK OF DOW

Jacob Dow adgxf. His gra_vestone still stands, calls him Capt, military rec not found. Was a substantial citizen of Seabrook; will dated 1813, probated 1820, makes son Elihu executor and residuary legatee, son Robert $40, sons Tristram and Edward Dearborn $100 each, to wife Lois half interest during her widowhood and "furniture of her own to do what she likes with." As Lois had furniture of her own, she must have been a wid. This is important. Jacob m 1st Sept 13, 1770, Mary Dow of Seabrook, unplaced; m 2nd Lois Weber of York, Me. A descend­ant now living states that he m Lois Dow, wid of Levi. This, of course, is adaii. Either, this was a 3rd m, or, more likely, Lois Weber was wid of Levi Dow. Our original informant says Lois had considerable family by 1st husband. This is probably correct. A later informant says Lois had but one child, Rhoda m Elihu Dow adgxfb. This cannot be, for the name Levi was continued without interruption in every generation of the adai line. Lois had 3 children by Jacob; marriage was probably in 1803. Others by 1st wife:

a Robert b Mch 14 1776 (son of Jacob and Mary) b Elihu b May 1778 o Jacob b June 7, 1780 (in rec, 4th child; if correct a 1st born d young) d Tristram (Trustom, mother Louese, in rec) b Jan 30, 1804; will provides he

shall be maintained until 14, then bound out to some mechanic e -- son d in infancy f Edward Dearborn, named for a popular Seabrook physician, godfather to many

Robert Dow adgxfa was a puzzle for many years, there being 3 contemporaneous Roberts in Seabrook. Greeley Gen gave to Robert and Sally (Brown) 3 children, barely mentioning names of parents. This was with appearanq~ of finality. Nothing appears regarding their life in Seabrook. It remained for Miss Mary J Greene to find their grave­stones and confirm that they had 14 children. Smithtown cemetery shows Robert Dowd Mch 13, 1843, ae 66; and Sally, wife of Robert Dow d Sept 24, 1857, ae 80. One child din infancy; others:

Elihu and Claude Adams, shoe manufacturers of Newburyport, con­ceived the idea that it would be advantageous to have their plant in Seabrook, instead of getting Seabrook labor to Newburyport. They built a fine factory near the homestead. It was burned, but rebuilt; it has been a great regenerative influence in Seabrook.

JOSIAH Dow adh, weaver, d Apr 18, 1718, ae 39; his inheritance a farm in the part of Seabrook known as New_ Boston. Greatly esteemed by his father, he was named as executor of his will.

Ability, especially business ability, was very unequally divided among the sons of Joseph Dow. Josiah and Samuel were much the abler; Samuel followed the path of least resistance and left the Friends, thus materially widening his horizon. Jos~ah remained within that body, was a leader of it, working to compel recognition of its membe.rs and its merits. Un­timely death cut off a man who was a respected councillor even among the churchmen. Fortunately, he had a son who during a very long life up­held the dignity of the body.

His posterity has been of all the lines the most consistent until the general decay of Quakerism about the middle of the 19th century. His is the only line which contains Friends today without a break, one Mass family now in the Society. As a whole the line is more than usually homogeneous, rather high in standards of morals, very seldom containing marked genius, but from which failure through turpitude is unknown. Its best line is one which left Seabrook early and got the rejuvenating energy of a pioneering environment. Of intermarriages in a small circle of families there was fully as much as in other lines. A majority of the early marriages were with the original Quaker families of Seabrook, Gove, Chase, Purington; Green, C'61Iins, Brown. We have noted in the ab lines that a great majority of early marriages were with other pioneer families of Hampton until every one in town could trace blood relationship with every other one. We note also among the non-Quaker Dows of Seabrook, a majotity of marriages, even to today, have been with Eaton, Felch, Fowler, Walton.

No doubt, an influence lasting through nine generations was the moral standards maintained in the family in Seabrook at a time when the local standards were at their lowest. No doubt, the exceptional abstention from drink during the half century when drunkenness was a daily custom has affected the morale of the family as a whole for over a century.

Mary Dow adhaff moved to the Quaker colony at Lincoln; m there June 2, 1802, Aaron Gove adahad. We note that fully half their family left the Quaker ranks. In all the New England colonies of the Friends the same process was going on. New recruits to the denomination were few.

314 THE BOOK OF DOW

The members of any colony had become closely related from a long series of intermarriages between a dozen families. When it came time for the young members to marry, the choice was limited. It was seldom that a Friend could induce his or her fiance to join the Society. The result was generally disownment. In addition, the emigrants to the west or nearer, unless they were numerous enough to form a colony of themselves, were forced by every association to join whatever religious persuasion was prevalent at the new home. Thus the Quaker colonies of Vermont dis­appeared entirely. The children of Mary (Dow) Gove:

Jonathan Dow adhcb, Quaker preacher, continued for the 4th generation the original ideals of the Seabrook Friends, but realized that a new environment was needed; he located in Kensington; moved 1768 to Weare. The brothers bought full shares in Weare settlement at the same time, Jedediah being the first to move there. There does not seem to have been at any time in Weare any political distinction between Quakers and others. Jonathan was soon elected selectman and served a very long series of terms in the Legislature. His speech of Jan 15, 1788, in opposition to the existence of negro slavery led to its prohibition by the State constitution; he was a member when the Federal constitution was ratified. During his career the Friends of New Hampshire reached their greatest numerical strength and breadth of influence.

Herbert B Dow adhcbbhb grad Harvard 1879, becoming that year principal of Proctor Academy, Andover, N H; taught 1881-3 Orange, N J; returned to Andover; lVI A Dartmouth 1884; moved 1887 to Woburn, Mass, where he has lived ever since. He taught mathematics in Harvard, but some years later accepted the position of actuary to the New England Mutual Life Insurance Co, which he now holds, His aptitude for highly complicated actuarial problems have made him re­garded as the dean of the profession.

He renders a striking example of how much work can be systematized to fit into days of only 24 hours long. He has control of 52 clerks, but likes to put his personal attention and o k to every matter he can. At home he was executor of his aunt's (Mrs Charles Choate) will and is trustee of the home for the aged established by her; has served as executor for a number of members of the family. Is President of the Board of the Woburn Public Library; vice-president Woburn Five Cents Savings Bank; secretary of executive committee of Woburn Hospital; chairman of Finance Committee of Co-operative Bank; trustee of his Masonic Lodge; clerk for over 30 years of the First Unitarian Parish; and serves in quite a number of other matters of trust. It may be readily understood that he has little time for politics, but he found time in 1918 to go to the Texas border, care for and bring home his son, who had contracted typhoid while in the army.

While at Andover his active interest in genealogy was begun, he being the pioneer of Dow Genealogy as far as he knew. As a matter of fact, Edgar R Dow of Portland, Me (coincidently, also an actuary), began a year or two earlier. In 1912, when the Author of this Book began, the collection of Edgar was slightly the larger,-about 6,000 to 7,000 names,-but each had over 2,000 names which the other did not. Their methods of working were radically different. Edgar worked wholly by personal letter writing. Herbert liked to devote much time in the long vacation given by schools to search of probate documents, realty deeds, etc, and in consequence his collection was the much more authoritative. He had also a rare insight to connect the right parents with the right chil­dren. For fully 30 years he was regarded as the one man to whom all queries in Dow genealogy should be referred and he never failed to reply to a letter or inquiry, the total of which ran into the thousands. Stress of work compelled him to slow up a little on this hobby and inquiries were shifted somewhat from him to the Author. In 1926 he is again hard at work, checking, revising, adding to prepare this Book for publication.

326 THE BOOK OF DOW

A bushel or two of let.ters have passed between him and the Author and the relations between them are such that the feeling of gratitude is very keen indeed.

It has been his intention for many years to bequeath his self-indexing card catalogue of Dow and every one intermarried with Dow to the Genealogical Society. His system in making this enormous catalogue (containing every name added by the Author) differs somewhat from the one usually employed by genealogists, but seems to the Author to be the finest existing in the matter of clarity and labor-saving.

HIST Weare, NH, gives a good account of its early days, of pioneer life, carving farms and hamlets out of the forest, for some years fully as inaccessible to civilization as Hampton had been in 1644.

In fact, Hampton had been the more accessible, since it could be reached by water, while stumps had to be grubbed out to make all roads from Weare. The town was not settled by Quakers; in fact, the Dows were the first Quakers there. Jonathan and Jedediah Dow bought each for rather less than $250 an original lot with full common rights. Following them came several cousins and within 10 years No. Weare was a well established Quaker settlement, almost all coming from Seabrook. In fact, New Seabrook would be a deserved name. This region soon became the largest of the Quaker communities in the State.

Jedediah Dow adhcc arrived 1772, a middle-aged, energetic man, with 4 children. Jonathan had been established 4 years. Jedediah at once built a log house and cleared a farm around it. There was not yet a carriage road out. Three years later the brothers built for common occupancy the first 2 story house in town. ,Jedediah was blacksmith as well as farmer and had no idle hours.

The Indian menace lasted only a few years; an occasional captive was made for camp work or ransom. The Quakers followed their usual plan of non-resistance and got along rather better than others. One man returned one day to his home to find it raided and his wife kidnapped. She had been bound and kept in the woods in charge of a one-armed squaw. While secured, her husband and a relief party passed by near enough to have heard her voice, but the squaw stood with tomahawk uplifted and she dared not speak. A few days later she was rescued. Wild beasts were for many years fatal to pigs and hens and occasionally dangerous to man. A bear too old to hibernate is an ugly customer in winter. Such a one Jedediah met one day in a narrow path, not seeing it until the bear had snatched his hat from his head. Jedediah had his woodsman's axe and after some fencing managed to disable a paw, after whiph he got in the fatal blow on the head. Even bear meat was valued food. Weare fare was simple in the extreme; bean porridge a staple; wheat too readily salable for much home consumption. No grist mill existed for several years; each family pounded its corn in mortars hollowed out from rock maple wood.

Jedediah d, ae 87, May 10, 1826, living his later years with his dau Mary, who continued a Dow by marriage.

Josiah Dow adhccb, oldest of three able brothers, was 6 when he came to Weare and about 24 when he left to seek his fortune. He read every book he could get and at 20 was chosen to teach school. In summer he was the usual farmer, but learned tanning. Neal Dow speaks of the tanbark road in front of the Weare home. In 1790 he went to Falmouth and joined his brother-in-law in a tanning business, teaching school during winters. He built a house, which still stands, on tlie bank of the Presumscot about 5 miles from Portland. The meeting house, now taken down, was just across the river, its yard filled with the unmarked graves of 3 generations. Either at meeting or in the school Josiah met the girl he married, seven years his junior. The Allens were well-to-do Friends living in a house still standing, about a mile away but in plain sight of his own home.

Isaac Allen, a slight man not in rugged health, wore the knee breeches and broad brimmed hat of the :Friends but in youth had been a man of carnal warfare. He told little of his experience in this line, but had probably been at the siege of Louisburg. His wife was Abigail Hall b Feb 12, 1740, d Feb 12, 1825, dau of Hate-Evil Hall, descendant of John Hall b Eng 1617, came to Boston and finally to Dover. She was well remembered by Gen Neal Dow, especially as sitting in the chimney corner smoking her pipe. The grandson imagined his abhorrence of to­bacco dated from then. Josiah had chewed tobacco from the time he was 25 until he was about 70, then gave it up as "nasty stuff." The Allens had 7 children, of whom Dorcas was 6th b Aug 28, 1773. Dorcas and Josiah were married Feb 3 1796, in the meeting house, Hate-Evil Hall, then 90, being present and, with 24 other witnesses, signing the marriage certificate. The couple moved at once to a house he had bought in Portland on Congress St, near Green, on which a sto1:e now stands owne,d by the family. Four years later they moved to another house, in which they passed the remainder of their lives. Just prior to his mar­riage Josiah had started a tannery of his own, which prospered until it wa,s discontinued in 187 4 by his son and grandson, then by far the oldest business in Portland. The firm was Josiah Dow & Son from Neal's 21st birthday; it weathered every panic, altho the business grew to be a large one, importing hides and needing from time to time no small

330 THE BOOK OF DOW

credit. It was discontinued because Neal Dow was devoting himself wholly to national affairs and Col Fred Dow had too many other irons in the fire.

Josiah was born, lived and died a Quaker, bU:t he was human. He was 9 and was casting bullets for his hunting rifle when a company of militia, including relatives, came by and took not only his bullets but his lead and mould. Later he regretted he had not cast enough to win Bunker Hill, that being the troop's destination. At the outbreak of the Civil War his sentiments were slightly more orthodox; he might not fire shot and shells, but "would try the effect of some hot water, but I would heat it very hot." One time he was assaulted by a man he had been forced to discharge. He did not strike back, merely grabbed the offender by the collar, pushed him against a wall and held him there in spite of constant blows until he was thoroughly tired and compelled to beg Josiah's pardon.

He was an organizer of the Merchant's Bank of Portland and a director from the first, 1824, until compelled to retire by the infirmities of age; also a director in a number of other corporations. Somewhat isolated during his last years, he retained a keen interest in the affairs of the day up to a few weeks before his death. He was greatly dissatisfied with the national administration in 1860 for its unpreparedness in allowing batteries to be built facing Ft Sumpter. He voted always, Federalist, National Republican, Whig, Free Soiler and Republican, but through infirmity could not vote for Lincoln in 1860. He served several terms in the Legislature and held a few city offices but always with reluctance and from a sense of duty. His health began to fail about the time, past 80, he fell on the ice and broke his hip. There­after he was always lame. His wife also broke her hip and died at 78, July 8, 1851. He himself kept as busy as possible at the tannery. One day when over 90 he offered, in the absence of a teamster, to drive the express wagon to mill to get meal for the horses. Returning, the wagon seat slipped, throwing him backward among the meal bags, from which on account of his lameness he could not readily extricate himself. The faithful old horse stood still. An acquaintance passing by, not recog­nizing the old man covered with meal, helped him up and remarked:

"It's a pity that a man of your age should get so drunk as to be un­able to sit up."

"Drunk," snorted Josiah, "if when thou art my age thou canst sit up, drunk or sober, thou'lt be smarter than I think for."

He d ae 94, 9 mos, June 1, 1861. In all his life neither his personal character nor his business integrity was ever questioned by a breath of susp1c10n. His was a venerable figure, in honor second to none among tbe Quakers; in influence in the upbuilding of Portland second to none. The 1850 census finds him with wife and dau Harriet; realty assessment $10,500. Children:

During the presidential campaign of 1880 the Author was a lad of 11 in a thriving New Hampshire town, much interested in the issues of the day and retaining a vivid recollection of happenings. This campaign brought to him his first knowledge of the existence of a Neal Dow and at that formative age impressions are always the most lasting. The im­pressions of Neal Dow were as unfavorable as his political enemies wished to convey and unfavorable impressions seem always to cling most persis­tently. It was a much hotter campaign than 1876, when the Democrats won, only to be cheated out. The republican machine, fat with 20 years office holding, was desperate, the odds all summer slightly favoring the Democrats. It was felt that a very few votes might overthrow a can­didate for Congress and almost as few might alter the electoral vote. As a matter of fact, Neal Dow polled a much smaller vote than was usual for the Prohibition candidate. This was due to the fear of a national over­turn. He had a prominence which no candidate of his party ever had before or since. The Democratic spell binders said little of him. The Republicans were instructed everywhere to stop at no vituperation of the intruder.

Gen Benjamin F Butler came in invariably for a joke. No one seemed to fear that his few votes would be taken from one party rather than another. Political vilification was at its greatest freedom in 1880. Things said then passed unnoticed, altho they would 'send a speaker to jail at present. The Cleveland election changed all that.

It was not, the speakers generally asserted, that Neal Dow was vicious or criminal, altho by criminal negligence and ignorance he had needlessly sacrificed thousands of lives in the War. It was not that he acked ability, but it was of a peculiar and harmful sort, that he was a visionary and impractical dreamer, a marplot, too narrow to make aught but a muddle of public matters, that he was rich by inheritance, not by brains, and thus irresponsible, not needing to count the cost of any national trouble his peculiar lunacy might bring about. This is the stuff we were told in 1880. Even then we might have been more incredulous, but most of the New York and Boston papers gave no better impression, tho in more guarded language.

Orators were instructed to go easy on the matter of drinking, merely

332 THE BOOK OF DOW

to point out that it was not a national issue and was either local or even individual. This was a matter of great importance to our town, which was "dry." Liquor paid a good share of our taxes. Twenty saloons ran openly; the proprietor of each was arrested and fined $25 on the first of each month. "I do not care," cried one orator, "if Neal Dow does not want to take a drink; that is his privilege. I do not want to drink, my­self; I never do. But I do protest that because some man does not want to take a drink he has no right to impose his prohibition upon the choice of any other man. If this should be, then we should be no longer free and equal and the constitution go for naught." Our local view was that, if happiness lay in a quart of rum, it should be taxed to the utmost but not prohibited. Drunkards should be locked up if troublesome; if not should be fined for the public benefit.

How many of us have ever given the matter thought enough to dis­abuse ourselves of those impressions of 1880? Prohibition finally came, but Neal Dow was forgotten. Who, outside of Maine, listened to laud­atory obituaries in 189T? Nil de mortuis. It is true that in ]Haine many still revere his memory as by all odds the most unselfish real statesman the State ever produced. Most of us have forgotten that in 1918 Neal Dow was a more potent influence than during his life. The very politi­cians who berated him in 1880 voted not only a prohibition law but an amendment to the Constitution, not wishing it but afraid of the votes of women and the silent parties. Neal Dow drew up almost every phrase of the Volstead law, all but the loopholes vainly left.

He was the only son, born when his father had barely developed a promising business. When he came of age his father was wealthy for those days, with a fine business, a bank director and owning much forest land. During the next 35 years the family fortune increased greatly, but even at this it was not great as fortunes are considered in recent years. Beyond doubt, Neal Dow between 1830 and 1870 multiplied the property several times. In other words he became rich, but not by inheritance. He had a good asset in his physique, wiry and of great endurance. His education was good but was largely self-acquired, first at the local Quaker school, then at Portland Academy, finally with his sister Harriet at the Friends Academy at New Bedford, Mass. This was a long journey by Sea. He was a grown man when the first railroad was built from Port­land to Boston. His first trip between the two points took 12 hours and the passengers had to walk at times to enable the train to make the grades. His father did not think favorably of college, altho Neal much wished it. Instead, he applied himself to study at home, reading medicine and history and practicing debate. To become traveled, he first took a horseback trip to the old home in Weare, thence through the White )\![ountains. For business training, his father bought for him a third interest in a forest tract in Aroostook Co, which Neal surveyed, plotted and sold profitably to settlers. June 1825 he started on his grand tour, to Dover,

THE BOOK OF DOW 333

thence to Boston, where he had business to attend to, then suddenly for business exigencies back to Portland. Starting afresh, he visited Weare and took his cousin Abraham Dow adhahe to Boston with him. From Weare he staged it through Vermont to Saratoga, Poughkeepsie, Utica and Buffalo. Thence to Niagara and by water to Montreal. Next to Albany and New York City, through the streets of which, he says, hogs and poultry roamed freely. A trip to Philadelphia followed, thence by stage to Providence, Boston and home. The whole trip lasted only two months.

Business career immediately followed, becoming equal partner and giving the business his daily superintendence for 27 years. From the first his income sufficed for his unextravagant wants and by 26 he felt justified in establishing a home for himself. Hem Maria CD Maynard of Scarboro b June 18, 1808, the youngest of her family. Her father, John Maynard, was descended from John Maynard of Framingham, immigrant about 1660. The grandfather and great uncle had been Revolutionary officers. Her mother was :Mary Durant b St Croix, W I, of a Huguenot family which settled in Conn 1633. Mrs Dow presided over the home for 43 years, devoted to a large family, acting as hostess in a household which entertained much. After their wedding they went directly to a house which Neal had built, across the street from his father's, in which they lived the rest of their lives. Six months later they started by carriage on a belated wedding trip, visiting relatives of each in N H and Mass. In all their lives, when apart, letters passed daily; after Mrs Dow's death her husband's letters were found carefully filed together. There were many separations, one when Neal was in the army and Libby prison, another when iVIrs Dow went to Minneapolis to care for an invalid son.

Mrs Dow was a member of the Congregational church and never a Friend. By this time the Friends had begun to be a little more lax about marrying outside the Society. The Autobiography touches very lightly on Neal's withdrawal from the Friends, laying it entirely on military affairs. In 1841 he became an officer on the Governor's staff, nominally only, a military position. A committee of the Friends waited upon him and suggested that he resign his military title or withdraw from the Society. He did neither, merely automatically ceased to be a member. By this time the Friends had lost at least half their membership through­out New England. ,

:From 1830 the business career of Neal Dow was about what is to be expected from a diligent, able man, imbued with old-fashitmed Quaker notions of thrift and integrity. Fifty years later, in the height of political abuse, not one whisper was ever, could ever be directed against his business integrity or his family life. The tannery became too small a field for ambition. Timber lands in the unsettled portions of the State were incidentally necessary to the tanning business and afforded by far

334 THE BOOK OF DOW

the most promising speculations, as the country was growing rapidly. Only once or twice did a great commercial crisis, like the panic of 1857, endanger large holdings of these lands; once the whole credit of a com­bined syndicate was taxed to its utmost. At 29 he became director of the bank, continuing for over 40 years. He became trustee of a savings bank and president of the Portland Gas Co. A railroad being a public necessity, he pledged most of his means and credit toward the construc­tion of the Maine Central R R, altho refusing its presidency. He was a director in a considerable number of railroads, manufacturing and com­mercial corporations. By 1857 he could no longer afford to give daily attention to business details. This is the actual business career of the man assailed in 1880 as a scatter-brained irresponsible, wealthy by inher­itance.

His interest in public life began before he heard the oration of Daniel Webster in 1825 at the laying of the corner-stone of Bunker Hill Monument. He was in ·washington, guest of Senator Hannibal Hamlin, met and discussed affairs with such noted, hated free-soilers as Salmon P Chase, William H Seward, Charles Sumner. He had talked, too, with Andrew Johnson, the young representative from Tennessee, and with the leaders of the opposition, Henry Clay, John C Calhoun, Alexander H Stephens. Stephen A Douglas, Lincoln's opponent, was in the Senate but young and little known. He was past middle life when James G Blaine first came to Portland, when Thomas Brackett Reed was a school boy. His first vote was cast for John Quincy Adams and he believed that the election of Andrew Jackson would prove a national calamity. In the campaign of 1832, opposed to Jackson, not believing in Clay, he took refuge in the short-lived Anti-Masonic ticket. He supported Harrifon, of cpurse; in 1844 he could not support Clay, the Quaker instinct ~evolting alike against duelling and slavery. In 1848 he favored Van Buren as the Free Soil candidate, and in 1852 worked for Gen Scott. He was one of those who waited to establish the new party and was a charter member when Gen John C Fremont was chosen to lead a forlorn hope. After 1860 he supported the Republican administrations until in 18SO he became the candidate of a party largely of his own creation, existing previously as a name, hardly as an influence.

A Sta_te political party committed to "temperance" was founded Feb 1834 and of this he was a charter member and delegate. Little by little his personal effort was to free local politics from national issues, leaving it in position to make its chief issue the repeal of the license laws governing the sale of liquor. This had been a city issue, it was before long forced to the front as the leading State issue. The first bill to pro­hibit the sale of liquor came before the Legislature of 1839; similar bills introduced each session gained increased support. Most of these State­wide bills were drawn by Neal Dow, modified as considered advisable by friends of the cause. In 1849 the entering wedge was driven, forbidding

THE BOOK OF DOW 335

the sale of liquor at fairs and cattle shows. This was the first statute in the U S providing fine and imprisonment for liquor-selling. In 1850 these penalties were increased, with little opposition, for the liquor adherents thought that by throwing this sop to growing public opinion danger of Statewide prohibition would be greatly lessened. T'he tug of war was to come, however, only a few years later. He had received votes for nomination as Mayor in 1847; in 1851 he was nominated and elected by the largest vote ever cast in Portland, altho by no means the largest plurality,-quite the reverse. From the moment of his inauguration, Apr 24, the policy became to empty the almshouse by closing the saloon, this being constantly declared to be the effect and cause. The war in the Legislature was pushed with the support of the Portland delegation. An act for the suppression of drinking houses and tippling shops became a law that very year and except for two years has been ever since the Maine law, known world wide and the term impossible of conception in any other connection. Free Soiler vote was unanimous for it, Whigs and Democrats 63 to 50. The mental calibre of local politicians in that day was not great,-witness a speech made by a Senator Cary of Aroostook Co, who had been a member of Congress, entrusted with law-making for 30,000,000 people. "This new manifestation of the spirit of fanaticism originated in the city of Portland under the auspices of that prince of fanatics, the present Mayor of that city-embodied the ultra notions of the wringnecks of that city, of whom the Mayor is chief. Has the Leg­islature of Maine, and a Democrat Legislature too, become so lost to dignity and self-respect, as to sit here the registrar of the inquisatorial edicts of the temperance fanatics of Portland, headed by its popinjay Mayor, a Whig abolitionist of the most ultra stripe (interesting light on slavery in politics in Maine in 1851). I met the Mayor the other day on the stairway. He is a pretty little dapper man, goes well dressed, wears a nice blue jacket and a fancy vest and his hat cocked on one side of his head. He succeeded in getting his bill reported by the committee, word for word and letter for letter, as it was prepared for them. I do not expect to make any impression on the Senate. I do not belong to the powers that be. I train in a different company. I do not expect to have any influence in the party until the reign of niggerism and fanaticism is over. A few years ago the jackdaw Mayor of Portland, this man with the fancy vest, who got up the precious document the Legislature is called upon to register, was at the head of the nigger movement in that city. He was formerly a Federalist, but federalism alone was not low enough for his instincts, and he joined the abolition movement; but even abolitionism was not strong enough for his diseased palate, and he has added temperancism to his former stock of humbugs. Is this Federal­abolition wringneck to be allowed to dictate to a democratic Legislature what enactments it shall pass? Talk with the Mayor. Does he pretend to be a Democrat? No. He never had and never can have a Democratic

336 THE BOOK OF DOW

feeling or pulsation. He is a Federalist at heart, of the alien and sedition law stripe. Why should he, the Lord Mayor of Portland, come down here with his rum bill, all cut and dried, for this Legislature to enact into a law? 1Vas it for any good to the Democracy? Why, all he cares about is to overturn the democracy of the State and put himself at the top of the heap by heading this wringneck temperance movement as he headed the abolition movement. We have two kinds of bees, one small but not hand­some, but useful, the honey bee. A swarm of this sort of bees has a king bee or queen bee, bigger than any of the rest. The mode of making him is said to be this: they take the largest maggot they can find and by some sort of process not fully understood continue to grow it into a bee of immense size, and install it as the king or queen bee, whom all the little bees fall down and worship. The temperance fanatics have imitated the example of the honey bee in this respect. They have taken the Mayor of Portland, and by some process blown him up into a king bee, bigger than all the other bees in the hive. There is also another kind of bee, called the bumble bee or humble bee, a very big and pretty bee. It has a fine coat with pretty colors, and makes a great noise. In fact it keeps up a tremendous buzz, buzz, buzz, wherever it goes. The House has been frightened into the passage of this bill by the buzzing of a bumble bee."

Governor Hubbard, a physician and worthy man, signed the bill after listening to great pressure on both sides. Thereafter for seven years Portland and the whole state were in constant turmoil over its enforcement or its evasion, its repeal or its continuance, setting up or throwing down officials as opposed to or in favor of it. The same process is national in 1923. There were no party lines except as a cloak. In 1852 the law was safe but Dow defeated for re-election as Mayor. His Democratic opponent was Judge Albion K Parris, man of the highest character, national and judicial experience. Gov Hubbard was re­elected by an increased plurality, but followed ·by a Governor decidedly opposed to the law. In 1853 Dow was not renominated, the local Whig party being in two factions,-Dowites and anti-Dowites, colloquially the Ramrods and Schiedarn Schnapps. The Whig nominee, former Mayor Cahoon, not opposed to the Maine law, was elected. In 1854 the Whigs made no attempt at a nomination. In 1855 the newly founded Republican party nominated Neal Dow for Mayor and he was elected by a majority of 46. The Governorship was thrown into the Legislature, there being no majority, and the outcome of this was the repeal of the Maine law, lasting for two years. Before this a remarkable riot in Port­land caused a great sensation.

The :i\faine law provided that in each town or city a suitable agent should be appointed under bond to sell liquor for medicinal or mechanical purposes and no other. The stock of liquor throughout the State was soon greatly reduced. It ,was provided that reasonable time should be

THE BOOK OF DOW 337

given to sell all stocks of liquors to go outside the State. Wholesalers at once complied and went out of business; retailers either did likewise or ran the secret "speakeasies." To provide for a medicinal supply, Mayor Dow, chairman of a committee for the purpose, bought a stock for about $1,600, which was to be sold by the local agent from a store owned by the city in the basement of the city hall. An anonymous broadside was then circulated widely: "ATTENTION, CITY MARSHAL. While the city authorities are busy searching private houses for demijohns and jugs of liquor, it is, perhaps, not strange that they would overlook wholesale importations into the city of what are probably impure liquors intended for sale. We are credibly informed that $1,600 worth of liquors have recently been purchased by a citizen of Portland, and brought into the city in violation of law, and are still kept here illegally. Why doesn't the marshal seize and destroy? The Mayor of the city has no more right to deal in liquors without authority than any other citizen. Where are our vigilant police, who are knowing to the above facts, and who think it their duty to move about in search of the poor man's cider, and often push their search into a private house, contrary to every principle of justice and law? Why are they so negligent of the weightier matters and so eager for the mint and cumin? We call upon them by virtue of Neal Dow's law to seize Neal Dow's liquors and pour them into the street. The old maxim reads: Fiat justitia ruat coelum," which means, "Let the lash which Neal Dow has prepared for other backs be applied to his own when he deserves it."

Three citizens, one formerly a distiller, applied for and obtained a warrant for the seizure of the city stores and it was handed to the proper city officer for execution. The officer found truckmen present, come to haul the liquor away, for what reason does not seem clear. He found the liquors all marked as the property of the city and tallying with the invoice. He thereupon left to consult the city marshal and county attorney. Returning, he made formal seizure of the property, leaving it in the store. Meanwhile, the crowd surrounding the building had increased and become turbulent. The police tried to disperse them and did not succeed; two companies of militia were then called upon. The captain of one of them refused to expose his men 'to the mob unless they were properly armed and equipped. This encouraged the rioters. The police by use of revolvers maintained their position inside the building into which the mob was trying to force its way. The Mayor, sheriff of the county and one militia company arrived, the riot act was read by Mayor and sheriff. The militia company was stoned until only eight were left in line: the second company then arrived, firing several warning volleys, then dispersed the mob by bayonet. One rioter was killed and several wounded, either by militia or police.

This ended the riot; its political side was followed up vigorously. One cor~ner's jury found that the deceased came to his death by a gun-

338 THE BOOK OF DOW

shot-by some person unknown acting under the authority-in defense of city property from the ravages of an excited mob, unlawfully con­gregated for that purpose, of which the deceased was found to be one. A second coroner sat at once with jury which brought in a verdict placing the responsibility for murder or manslaughter on Neal Dow and asking the grand jury to act.

All facts were published in every newspaper throughout the country. Excitement in Portland continued great. The grand jury refused to act. The city council took matters into their own hands and appointed a non­partisan committee of 17 to make a full investigation. This committee unanimously decided upholding the city authorities. The only legal proceeding was on the matter of the liquors still under seizure. They were promptly returned to the city. Counsel was eminent, Nathan Clifford, ex-Attorney General of the United States for the writ and U S Senator William Pitt Fessenden for the defense.

Nevertheless, the parties who instigated the broadside and the riot gained much of their point. Neal Dow did not run again for Mayor. That year the Maine law was repealed. Its friends did not push its re-enactment; leaving it to observation of the practical results of license vs no license. Neal Dow was elected without opposition to the Legis­lature of 1858 but never again accepted public office. After two years the law was re-enacted without the aid of a lobby and in 1882 it became a constitutional amendment. Neal Dow divided his time between traveling through this country and Great Britain, always with undivided purpose of furthering prohibition laws, and attending to his business in Portland, his directorates being many.

The criticism of his military career was at one time severe, until the facts were made perfectly clear. He was 57 when Sumpter fell, and nothing farther from his thoughts than military service. As a bank director his influence was great, perhaps the leading one, in inducing financial institutions to lend their credit to the Governor to finance a response to Lincoln's call for troops. Possibly the account in his Autobio­graphy is perfectly fair: "But immediately after the attack on Sumpter I was forced to prepare for the possibility of joining the ranks, as the only way to prevent my older son, Fred, who I thought was not as well able as I to endure the hardships of army life, from going off with the first troops from Maine. On the evening of the day of the call of the President for 75)000 men he enlisted in the first military company of the State which volunteered. Because of his poor health I refused my approval, at the same time promising him that if the war continued he should go if I did not, reminding him that we could not both leave home. The next day I offered my services to the Governor in any capacity in which I might be useful, and the same day began the study of Hardee's Tactics."

That part of the country which entered the Confederacy had been looking forward for years for the outbreak which actually came. The

THE BOOK OF DOW 339

trained officers, supplies, munitions were all in the south. Rank and file had been drilled and only a minority had to be taught how to handle a gun. The north had the weight of numbers, but not 10 per cent had ever used a gun. All munitions, supplies, everything had to be made. The trained officers were not 1 per cent of those needed. The whole country did what Neal Dow did,-started to read Hardee's Tactics. Dow became the best read military man in New England, thoroughly posted on fortifications.

He was promptly commissioned Colonel and ordered by the Secretary of War to raise a battery of artillery for 3 years service. He called for volunteers in Portland and 2,000 responded; of these 600 had to be attached to other regiments. Thus the 16th Me came into existence and after camping near Augusta started Feb 13, 1862 for an unknown destination. They went by rail to Boston, thence by sea arriving at Ship Island Mch 20, attached to the department of Maj Gen Benjamin F Butler. May 20 Dow received his commission as Brig Gen; service followed in command of Ft St Philip, Pensacola, then of the defenses of New Orleans and Carrollton. May 30, the brigade started for Port Hudson, its first field service. A battle was in progress when it arrived, with Gen W T Sherman in command. This was an outlying part of the Vicksburg unit, dependent upon its base. Both Gen Banks and Gen-in-chief Hallock concurred that, if Vicksburg fell, Port Hudson could not hold out. This was found to be true. Vicksburg fell July .8 and Col Gardner at Port Hudson surrendered without another shot.

Unfortunately, independent proceedings against Port Hudson were not postponed, altho the northern troops were not attacked nor in danger of attack. The place had splendid natura'l defense and no frontal attack could be made except over open country swept by the best artillery and rifle barrage the south could afford. Dow's brigade was centered at a farm house seven miles away. Gen Dow accompanied Gen Sherman on many reconnoissances without being able to see clearly the enemy position or estimate its strength. By direct approach there was an open plain of over 500 yards, a gulch into which the enemy had the exact range, then the nearby defenses, ditches, ramparts, sharpshooters. But, as is now well known, many movements throughout the war were on orders from Washington politics, compelled by men who had never seen a battle front. Some such order came here and now, far above the head of Gen Sherman, above Hallock. It was peremptory: "Port Hudson must fall tomorrow." Without discretion, all of Sherman's division had to share in an assault direct and without possibility of success. Dow's brigade, the 6th Mich, 128th NY, 26th Conn, 15th Me, had to cross the wide, open plain. This it did and reached the gulch. The biggest gun in Port Hudson was manned by a New Yorker, who, caught south at the opening of the war, saved himself and aided the north by manning a gun ood deflecting his aim. Even at this, the loss did not stop at decimation;

340 THE BOOK OF DOW

a comparatively small number finally retired to safety. The attack was abandoned. As already said, Port Hudson surrendered a month later without a shot. Gen Dow had a wound on the arm from a spent bullet and a ball through the thigh.

How . or why the next blunder is even more incomprehensible. Altho very weak from malarial fever, as well as wounds, Dow remained to convalesce at a plantation house several. miles in the rear of his former headquarters, far inside the Union lines. From here he applied for and hoped to get a transfer to the Army of the Potomac. Nine days before the fall of Port Hudson, June 30, 1863, a squad of cavalry, riding un­opposed, even unseen, swooped down on the plantation house, captured the convalescent general, who was absolutely unaccompanied. No Union troops were in sight or hearing, nothing to disturb six uniformed Confederate cavalrymen. In fact the entire rear was unguarded and a company of cavalry could at any time rake it from end to end and get away before resistance could begin.

Next day he was put on a horse and started from camp Logan toward Richmond, put first in the Marbleyard prison at Jackson, Miss; thence to Montgomery, Ala, finally to Richmond and the notorious Libby prison. From here he was taken to Mobile and two months later back to Libby.

Why these transfers is not said. It is charged that Gen Dow was a troublesome prisoner, disregarding his paroles to observe and go about as freely as possible. At all events he was able to see that the whole south was almost spent, has no reserve power, must give up the war before long from exhaustion. The only Confederate officer of like rank held by the Union was Brig Gen Fitzhugh Lee. Mch 16, 1864, the two were exchanged. Neal Dow was sent to vVashington and returned to Portland on 30 days leave.

After the war, his entire activity was in furtherance of his views on liquor prohibition, for at least fifteen years a speaker all over the country, a vigorous and polemical writer. The campaign of 1880 was the culmination of his activity. In 1884 he supported his lifelong friend, James G Blaine, but without activity in his canvass. In 1888 he left the Republican party. The time of life had long since come when men generally rest. After 1888 he followed the easy path of life at home and with friends. He had no specific illness, only the natural, not unwelcome, dissolution which comes to the normal person after the full life span. A week before his death he was unable to dress, fainting while attempting it. Then to his bed until the end, Oct 2, 1897. His children:

Jonathan Dow adhccg, for many years sea captain, settled down in Portland; m 1807 Phoebe Greeley. Portland's first Mayor dying in office, Jopathan was elected for the unexpired term. He had some lit­erary taste, and wrote a dozen papers which he called the Jack Downing Papers, the name being a modification of his own. He did not wish his authorship known and even got young Neal Dow to copy the ms so that the printer would not recognize the hand. The printer was Seba H Smith. Jonathan did not continue the work; Smith wrote a few additions and hired a well-known New York writer to do the rest. He had no children but adopted a boy, Hiram.

own, losing year after year whatever winsome qualities he ever had, thoroughly unlovely in his old age. His house was a one-story, rambling affair, with an ell which he built for his son when he married. Local tradition has it that this house was moved from Seabrook into Hampton Falls by merely moving it across the road. The fact is that the ell was so moved and became the homestead of another generation. Benjamin d Jan 28, 1835, will dated Oct 28, 1834; probated .June 10, 1835. His wife's bequest was the use of two rooms and various small items of personal •property. She timidly asked the court what she would have if she did not accept the provisions. The court immediately granted her "thirds." To grandsons Abraham, Edward and Walter P were given $1 each. Bequests were made to dau Hannah Wells and granddau Eunice Wells. The considerable residuary estate went 2-3 to grandson Benjamin and 1-3 to granddau .Mary Ann. Children:

Benjamin suffered under the terrible handicap of being his father's son and inherited something of his narrowness. Always under a thumb from birth, never able to break away, never able to get a home of his own, living with wife and family in the ell built for him by his father, having to account for almost every movement, he din that semi-slavery before his father. His father even had him adjudged a common drunkard and got himself appointed guardian of his property,-value $970. The narrow hand of his father also blighted Hannah Gove, to whom was willed "an estate during her widowed life in the house where she now lives-also a comfortable support as long as she remains his widow." As Hannah was then 50 with no aim in the world except to care for her 5 children, the precautions seem superfluous:

Hist Hampton Falls: "In Seabrook lived the mother of Hussey Hoag, a Revolutionary soldier. She is said to have sold her son for a quintal of fish and to have lived to 105. In after years the son never recognized his mother on this account. With her lived an old lady named Dow, said to have reached nearly the same age." Her identity is not recognizable, probably wid. While their ages are greatly exaggerated, they surely lived to great age, as Quaker matrons often do. In every New England village there is some such derelict. Perhaps Elizabeth was poor and let some family better able to care for her son. In the Author's home town there was a couple of aged spinsters, regarded as witches and criticized for their use of tobacco. It was their

· habit to use a cane with pointed nail in the end and spear all cigar butts they found. They had very beautiful house plants, which they fed with tobacco decoction. Just as sound are the prejudices regarding the mother of Hussey Hoag.

SAMUEL Dow adk by the terms of his father's will was taught the weaver's trade. He also learned, perhaps from his father, the art of surveying. His chain and compass are still kept as

heirlooms by his descendants; these may have belonged to his father, but more likely were bought by himself. He studied mathematics and compiled an almanac extensively used by his neighbors, who chose from it the right days for certain plantings, setting hens and other routine of farm life. This almanac was calculated for 25 years, Samuel saying that by then he would be dead or the world would have come to its end. He inherited a farm at the New Plantation, but July 11, 1718, bought a better from Richard Sanborn Sr. In the deed he is called Samuel of Salisbury, but his lands were in what is now Seabrook, well above the border. An interesting deed is one dated Aug 20, 1711, by which Henry, Jeremiah, Josiah and Samuel Dow sell a piece of Hampton land. It was the last piece in Hampton kept in the ad line.

From the time he reached manhood, Samuel was not enthusiastic about the Friends. He saw service at Ft William & Mary Oct 16 to Nov 1708. His marriage seems to have been at the Friends meeting house 2: 11 mo: 1711, Sarah Shepard b Haverhill Aug 11, 1689, dau of Samuel and Mary (Dow ba) of Salisbury,-Shepard of Salisbury or now living in ye Provins of Newhampsher. There is reason for thinking that he and his wife considered for 17 years the matter of becoming church members and formally leaving the Friends. Unless Sarah Shepard had become nominally a Friend, we cannot understand how she could be married at the meeting house. Mary had been duly bap in Haverhill; there is no evidence that Samuel ever was. Four older children were bap in west parish, three younger at a slightly earlier date in east parish. The oldest dau was bap and owned the covenant Mch 17, 1728, ae 16. None of the Shepards appear among the Friends. Probably Sarah favored the change and Samuel was not especially unwilling.

Samuel's d rec is not found; it was in 1777, for his will was probated Exeter June 10, 1777. It was dated May 20, 1768; so that a legacy to his unfortunate brother Jeremiah came too late. He had been thrifty and able. The inventory showed £1750-17-10. The will mentions sons Jabez, Joseph, Josiah, dau Sarah Clough and Mercy Adams. Son Abner must have d without issue:

a Sarah b Oct 26, 1712 b Abner b July 25, 1715; bap Aug 4, 1728 c Mercy b Nov 27, 1717; bap Aug 4, 1728 d Josiah b Mch 25, 1719; bap Aug 4, 1728 e Joseph b Feb 10, 1721 f Samuel b Mch 15, 1726 g Jabez b Aug 12, 1727; the 3 bap together July 19, 1728

It is rather remarkable that the four sons went their several ways, probably never meeting again.

He was short, his wife tall. At the wedding a young woman, not fancying this inequality, seized a wooden oven lid, about 2 inches thick, and pushed it against his heels. He stepped upon it and thus the pair stood at equal height during the ceremony. Meredith was prim­itive, at first their nearest neighbor being 3 miles distant. Samuel was away lumbering much of the time, but Sarah was a hardy pioneer. One night a neighbor staying by to guard the house shot and wounded a bear found eating corn. Sarah pursued the wounded bear, caught it by the leg as it was clambering over a log and cut its throat with a jack knife. Children:

He moved to his wife's home in Hampton Falls 1795. In his regiment he had been superior officer of James Mon­roe, afterwards President. The latter visited Maj Dow in Hampton Falls 1817, writing that he looked forward with much pleasure to renewing the army acquaintance. The Major had a reputation as a wag and during the president's visit bewailed the change of the times which had left him the under dog. Eheu, tempora mutantur. For many years he dispensed hospitality from the Weare mansion. His eccentricities were wholly of the genial sort and he certainly laughed with glee over his thought that any one must be crazy, if a genuine Dow, and that any Dow claiming to be sane must be an imposter. A man of leisure, of sufficient income, he traveled much around the region, passing the time of day and making a joke to be greeted with laugh and verbal repetition.

Josiah Dow adkdec, clerk, then store owner of Salem, m Jan 5, 1806, Rebecca Maria Phippen b Dec 7, 1783, dau of Samuel. She was born in the house in which she continued to live for 4 years after marriage, d Wakefield July 7, 1875. Her family was originally Penn of Eng, one Philip Penn contracting the name. They moved 1810 to Boylston St, Boston, having outgrown the merchandizing possibilities of Salem. Here he established the first department store in Boston, called Dow's Long Store because it extended through the block with entrances on each street. This was such a success that Josiah decided to retire in 1819 to Wakefield. After six years, deciding to resume, he bought a home in Nassau St, Brooklyn, N Y, and became an importer in N Y. His specialty was the East Indian trade, in which he had made connec­tions before he left Salem. Owning or chartering ships and maintaining agents in the east by the year, he could sell as cheaply as any one else could import. He soon developed into one of the most prominent mer­chants in old N Y. Good sketches of him are in Hist Brooklyn and Hunt's Old N Y Merchants. In Brooklyn he avoided political life, but was active in civil and educational affairs; one of the founders of the Brooklyn Lyceum in Washington St, now the Brooklyn Institute of Arts & Sciences; founder of the Young Ladies' Seminary in Hicks St. In W ake:field he built and endowed an academy attended by students from all parts of the country. Having amassed a substantial fortune and having a son to continue the business, he retired 1840 to Wakefield, buying out the other heirs to the homestead. Here he d Nov 2, 1850. The library on Chinese and Oriental Art in the Essex Institute, Salem, Mass, was begun by him. Children:

358 THE BOOK OF DOW

There is no reason to think that the adke line is smaller than its predecessors, but for 30 years it was as poorly traced as any in this Book. Vital records of its earlier years in Salisbury are unusually defective and from Deerfield are worse yet. In 1922 the Author received from Miss Alice Osborn Dow adkedjb an account set down from memory by an aged aunt, which omits no member of adked line and helps straighten out the whole. Nevertheless, the senior line is left in skeleton shape, com­paratively few rec ever found.

Joseph Dow adke, farmer, bought a farm by or over the Salisbury border; m about 1756 Naomi (Carr) Dow adgd, who brought with her her infant son Robert. D rec of either not found, but they never left the homestead. Children, possibly not in right order:

a Jacob b about 1757; lived Deerfield b Israel b Oct 10, 1761; lived Deerfield c Caleb b Salisbury 1763 (from d rec) d Josiah b Salisbury May 7, 1774 e Polly m Mch 28, 1793, Jonathan Fallington; 1 dau,-Polly f Naomi g Mehitable h Joshua b Salisbury

Jacob Dow adkea m 1784 Charlotte Langley, first of many inter­marriages with this family. Perhaps a disconnected family of Lee belongs to them; others appear provedly in Epsom. Deerfield rec are obscure. Probably more than 4 children:

a Abigail b 1790; known only by mention in 1850 census, name occurring next· to Josiah

b James b Deerfield 1792-5 (m rec does not give age) o --, a son. This merely because Epsom 1850 census gives Nancy Dow b

1793 (guessed to be wid) with (apparently) son Joseph b NH 1837, otherwise unknown

d Esther d Deerfield Mch 29, 1886, ae 88, 8 mos, dau of Jacob and Charlotte Longley

e Josiah b Deerfield 1812; d Deerfield Nov 16, 1867. No proof that band d rec belong to same man

James Dow adkeab. Proof only of m and 1st born; either he or oldest son moved to Epsom; m Aug 15, 1816, Betsey Robinson of Epsom. She must be the Mrs James Dowd Epsom May 28, 1861. Presumably more children than herein:

a John Robinson b Feb 1817 b TI-ue Langley

John R Dow adkeaba, farmer of Epsom, d widower suicide Apr 23, 1887; m Feb 28, 1845, Hannah E Fogg b NH 1827. Rec of son Geo A gives mother Lucinda, may be error, may be 2nd wife. Children, list uncertain:

a John Db Epsom 1846; d Epsom Nov 8, 1867; m Nov 7, 1865, Lizzie E Libby, ae 22, dau of Erah and Olive (not found in Libby Gen); probably no child

b Aura A b 1848; proved by census c James O d Epsom Aug 22, 1858, idientity conjectured d Emma M b Epsom Aug 3, 1860 e George Ab Epsom July 4, 1862 or 1863 (both dates in duplicated rec). Some

John R Dow d Epsom Oct 30, 1863; may be confu,sed f -- child b Nov 3, 1864; conjectured as Nellie B, daU: of John R, m Oct 23,

1887, Charles F Brown, both of Epsom

THE BOOK OF DOW 359

True L Dow adkeabb. No proof of identity, but must be of this line. Lived Deerfield; m Mehitable -- of Deerfield. State rec has a curious garble, evidently belonging here: Mehitable Dow m June 9, 1830, True Langley; son Jacob m 1885. One child found, b 11 years after m (if 1830 is right?), indicating probability of others:

a Jacob b 1841 (date from m rec)

Jacob L Dow adkeabba, name correct in b rec of son, but m rec gives James L. Surely m twice, 1st Hannah J More, both of Deerfield; 2nd Oct 17, 1885, Myra C Brown, ae 24, dau of Benjamin and Martha (Fownes); d, farmer of Deerfield, Epsom Jan 1, 1889. Three children found:

a Rinaldo H b July 14, 1860 b George Eb Deerfield Mch 31, 1880; untraced c -- son b Apr 5, 1886; u.ntraced

He hAd also a dau, in whose m rec mother is given Myra Coffin: d Mabel b Deerfield 1886; of Haverhill, Mass, m June 18, 1904, Aime J Descoteau,

ae 31, son of Desire and Elizabeth (Gautier)

Rinaldo H Dow adkeabbaa d Deerfield Dec 28, 1880, ae 27 ( date presumably 1887), son of Jacob Land -- (Moore); wife was Mary E b Jamaica Plain, Mass. One child found:

a Rinaldo Eb Feb 13, 1879; d Deerfield Jan 11, 1887

Josiah Dow adkeae m July 9, 1829, Hannah Langley, both of Deerfield. In census she b NH 1804; apparently at 17, he m a woman 8 years his senior. In 1850 farmers, assessed $1,500; no children; but 1 child is proved:

In 1808 or a little before a Dow family came from Kensington and occupied the Blake homestead on King St, Hampton Falls; mentioned in Hist Hampton Falls as the "Woodchuck Dows." This nickname arose from their retiring disposition. They worked industriously, but at the approach of any one scurried away like a woodchuck into its hole. As tax list from 1809 carries Caleb and Elijah, the identity is certain. A family rec recalls all the children, only 2 found in vital rec. Census 1790 gives la, 1 b, 4c. Order not accurate:

John Dow adkfbb, sometimes in jest called Colonel, hence mistaken by _one of our genealogists for col of 4th Mass. He was more often Elder John Dow, from a sui generis piety, rather than any church con­nection, albeit a man of great piety. An enthusiastic convert to the second adventist belief, he was from time to t.ime a traveling preacher. He published a small volume of hymns devoted to it, a local imprint with few copies now known. He m June 23, 1805, Betsey Downs (Downer, rec) b Hampton 1794 (obvious error in rec), d Salisbury Dec 31, 1867. They lived at Gill's Corner, Salisbury Plain, where he had a shop for boat building, carriage making or general carpentry. His sons worked with him.

Religious fervor in old Salisbury was occasionally carried to extremes, especially when mixed with Medford rum, of which John and his sons were very fond. As he wished to get sober by Saturday (his Sabbath), it became necessary to begin potations by Monday morning or before. This practice caused more or less trouble for himself and entire family. All were kindly, good-natured, helpful when sober, but most of the time were wholly playful. Their idea of play was invariably assault and battery. One day the sons attacked and beat up thoroughly an inoffensive citizen of Amesbury, who complained at once to the local authorities. The boys

THE BOOK OF DOW 371

had been arrested many times before and had gotten off probably too easily. This time Elder John also had too much rum and announced to the deputy sheriff that not only would he refuse to surrender the offenders but would shoot full of holes any one attempting to make an arrest. The single-handed deputy returned to Mills Village and reported. Sheriff Gilman and militia captain Buswell called for volunteers to uphold law and order. The Dow rebellion included an army of 3, barricaded in the shop, and returned as many shots as the whole posse. The fort was finally carried by assault and, when the smoke cleared, it was ·found that Samuel Dow had been shot through the hat. This time all were properly punished. Dow's Fort is still a name in Salisbury annals. A local bard celebrated the event in an epic, not suited to Sunday School recital, hence left in manuscript. The poet d 1918, ae 91 and toward the end could remember but little of his composition. An elderly lady had preserved afewstanzas, but she refused,-would not repeat them for worlds.

Samuel Dow adkfbbc, the terror of Salisbury, cooled his martial ardor as the years progressed and became a boat builder in Salisbury Plain; d 1872; rn Apr 7, 1831, Mary Greenleaf of Amesbury b Seabrook 1811.

Samuel and John shipped, one time, on a schooner to New Bruns­wick, but had a disagreement with the captain and beat him up. Real­izing that the consequences of such act at sea were serious, they seized a boat and rowed quickly ashore. They gave a :fisherman a shilling to take the boat back again and started afoot overland for Salisbury. In East Livermore they stopped 2 months, for haymakers' wages were high. On another occasion Samuel asked for a job from a Newburyport boat builder who did not happen to know him. On being -asked whether he could cut a trunion, he borrowed the man's glove and a broad axe. After testing the axe with his thumb, he laid a piece of wood on the glove and cut a perfect trunioit without scratching the glove.

The list of children is badly garbled in Salisbury, but the compilation of Edward A Brown, Amesbury librarian, is quite accurate:

This leg was ever after several inches shorter. Nevertheless, it is said of him that he could build more brush fence in a day than he could walk back. He never learned to read or write, able to sign his name mechan­ically, but generally making "his mark." He m early,-Salisbury Oct 10, 1815, Betsey Chase b Salisbury Jan 11, 1799, d East Livermore Jan 1855, dau of James and Mary (Tucker). Census 1850 gives her wid with the younger children, the homestead assessed $1,900.

By the time he came of age Jabez had surveyed his environment and ' drawn various deductions. The necessity for working prevented his ,.

gaining an education, and now he considered it too late; he became particularly anxious that his children should acquire as much learning as was reasonably possible. The liquor question was even more im­portant. Drink was a daily necessity to his kin and neighbors. It took all their spare funds and they got little or no pleasure from it. So, Jabez decided to cut it out, even the hard cider which had cost only the labor of making it. Finally, the atmosphere of Salisbury did not seem conducive to ambition. So, Jabez bought a farm in East Livermore. It must be conceded that his posterity has remained above the average, possibly the cause and effect herein noted. Children:

They had comparatively little fighting, but shared in the Red River campaign and against Mobile. During the year 5 were killed in action, but 41 out of 100 died, mainly from fevers.

The other of the 2 graduates was Myra Amelia Brown b Fitchburg, Mass, May 19, 1849, d Faribault Jan 22, 1908. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, MA, and L HD. After one year as supt of schools, he took up work with the blind and has made this his whole study since 1875; supt of school for the blind established by the State at Faribault. His especial field has been with children born blind and he has world wide recognition as an authority. In 1916 he spent a vacation in Me, seeing many relatives for the first time in 30 years. In 1919 he retired, his place taken by his sister Julia. He d 1927.

Some time between 1880 and 1890 he conceived the idea of a Dow genealogy, as the outgrowth of attempting to trace his own direct line. He sent out blank forms to as many,Dows as he could find, working much as did Edgar R Dow, but he never was able to unravel the confusion between Samuel Dow adk and Samuel adfc, making a composite of them and giving to the net result about half the children of both. Abandoning the task in disgust, the valuable correspondence was stored in a garret and long since lost. Children:

THE BOOK OF DOW 379

John Dow adkfc. For many years he was a slight memory, for a century an almost forgotten legend, considered by many as never real. In 1921 he is found and becomes an episode in American history.

In the spacious garret of Jabez Dow's house in East Livermore were many keepsakes and curiosities brought from Salisbury to Me,-shells, curios from many lands, all suggestive of a traveler by sea. Among them was a box of old letters and a powder horn. The latter was elaborately carved. The lettering was JOHN DOW. The decorations were sketches of harbors, not nearby, but of distant ones, Pacific and So America. James Chase Dow used to play with this on rainy days, but not yet able to read the letters, asked his father about them. Jabez merely replied grimly that they were from the pirate. Some years later the house burned and the relics were lost. Thirty years later James Chase Dow told what he could remember of these things to his son James Jabez, who in later years was inclined to doubt the whole matter. John Dow wrote from a prison in Jamaica, telling of his audience with the Governor, adding facetiously that he was living at the Governor's expense, if not at his table. Finally he wrote that he was to be hanged the next day.

This John Dow was a sailor. Aaron Dow, to whom the letters were probably written, was also a sailor until he came back to the farm; we presume they were brothers. John became a minor officer. During the war of 1812 the US issued many letters of marque and reprisal and many privateersmen scoured the sea. John became one of these. The papers of such matters were lost when the British took Washington, so we cannot tell whether John then commanded his own ship. At all events he was in command of a boat when he was captured at sea and taken to Jamaica for trial. He was executed at Kingston, Jamaica. The Jamaican arch­ives are difficult of access, but the date was about 1814.

There is no possibility that he left a posterity.

THE junior branch of the adk line left Salisbury before 1755 and has ever since been identified with Maine, a majority of its members still there. Edgar R Dow, the first genealogist of the family,

was of this line and gave to it especial attention. Only about 100 names have been added by the present Author.

Jabez Dow adkg m (int pub 8: 11: 1750) Dorothy Wood of Salis­bury b Dec 10, 1727; rec in Salisbury fails to mention parents. After the birth of two children they moved to Falmouth, Me, where he bought a truck farm. In 1790 census la, 2c, the rest grown and gone away:

a Abner b Aug 28, 1751 b Samuel b Apr 22, 1753 c Sarah b Mch 2, 1756; d young d Joseph b Mch 17, 1758 e Jabez b July 17, 1760; lost at sea in Rev navy f Jonathan b Nov 20, 1762; d Dec 24, 1773 g Sarah b Aug 20, 1766 h Mercy b July 5, 1771; d Nov 19, 1773

Abner Dow adkga, shoemaker of Falmouth, was among the first ten to enlist May 12, 1775, Capt David Bradish; made 4th corporal; mustered out as 4th sgt; re-enlisted as master gunner of artillery; com­missioned 1st Lieut Jan 1, 1777, serving 34 months; as captain Oct 1779. His commissions are now family heirlooms in Portland. He was in Col Timothy Bigelow's 15th Mass, transferred Jan 1, 1781, to 9th Mass; :fighting 1780 before West Point. Mass rolls do not mention termination of service. NY rec of Officers contains an annoying entry,-Capt Abner Dow cashiered Aug 9, 1781. This sound strange, coming at the very end of the War, his career having been uniformly excellent. Apparently Edgar R Dow found this entry, but did not pursue it. The Author appealed to Washington and there is no such rec, no cour-t martial, no proceedings of any sort. It seems to be a clerical error; at worst it seems that, the war being ended, he did not wait for acceptance of his resig­nation before leaving for home. At all events, he received a great welcome in Falmouth and for the rest of his life was greatly respected and honored for his war services. He received in 1783 his allotment of 160 acres. He settled in Pearson town; m July 27, 1782, wid Martha (Sawyer) Hinckley d Standish 1794. Census 1790 gives them 2a, 2b, 2c, unin­telligible, as he could not have a son of 16.

An accountant in a Portland Insurance company, Edgar was the pioneer in Dow Genealogy. Like almost all others, he began through his interest in tracing back his own direct line. Early in 1881 he had con­ceived the idea of tracing the entire Dow name in America, little knowing the extent of such task. He was able to get without error the names in the three earliest generations of both a and b lines. With this foundation, he worked mainly as a letter writer, sending a form to be filled by every Dow whose name he could obtain. In those days other genealogists who could help and exchange information were few. The great libraries of today either did not exist or were almost inaccessible to him. His weakest point was in having to jump at conclusions in the 4th and subsequent generations to connect the right son with the right father. Nevertheless, these errors were all of the kind easy to correct in later years. He was a persuasive genius of unlimited patience, getting replies to his inquiries, while the other workers (notably the present Author) failed in that department. It often took an exchange of half a dozen letters to get facts complete which might have been done in the first letter, had the subject of inquiry had any knowledge of what is required by a good genealogy. His health failed more or less completely and he abandoned the work for about seven years, going to Denver. On his return to Port­land he attempted to take it up again, but was able to do little. • His letters show plainly his ambition to publish a Dow Book. His manuscript gave about 6,000 names properly arranged. A second manuscript con­tained about 3,000 names arranged in lines of several generations, but having a gap. There was, in addition, a large folio of original letters, often with data of 4 or 5 generations, which he was wholly unable to connect.

His original completed part added about 2,000 names new to the Herbert B Dow collection. His unadjusted work was considerably over 6,000 names, and when this was edited in 1923, the additional knowledge made over 90 per cent connectible. One thing especially has made his work indispensable to his successors. Most of his names came out of family Bibles and thus had exact dates. Similar information gleaned from wills and deeds had no dates, and many workers inserted approximated dates for working convenience. Such guesses were often terribly misleading. A very good-natured man, he gave to every inquirer all the information which he could acquire and, no doubt, informed a thousand persons for the first time of their genealogy to 1637.

Samuel went to Boston. Some, probably all, the following belong to him. Samuel Dow, blacksmith of Boston, complt:iined 1786 that he had been unable to collect pay due to him while in the Quartermaster's dept 1776-7. The N H pension list carries Samuel Dow in 1840, b N H, ae 87, living with William B Harding i.n Boston. Age agrees and Samuel was born Seabrook, N H. Boston directory for 1789 and 1796 give Samuel Dow, blacksmith, shop on Nassau St assessed $600; house in Frog Lane. This Samuel was constable 1796-7. Samuel Dow of Boston m Jan 17, 1782, Elizabeth Holden. Samuel Dow of Boston m June 12, 1799, Sally Turner. Boston vital statistics show no Dow b before 1800. Census 1790 gives Samuel Dow Boston la, lb, 4c. So far, it all looks like the same Samuel, twice n:iarried, with 3 dau, 1 son. It looks as though he was living 1840 with a married dau. Useless to speculate on the missing son.

UNAVOIDABLY, the destinies of the younger children of Henry Dow, immigrant, were completely altered by the marriage of his widow to Richard Kimball of Ipswich. It involved the complete

separation of the two families, which almost never met again genealogic­ally. True, the distance by air line is but 11 miles. Passage by land was practically impossible. By water it was more than a day's journey. There was no regular post and people had neither time nor money to write letters depending on the kindness of some traveler for delivery. The two halves of the family were as far apart as they would now be if one was in New York, the other in Los Angeles. The oldest son of Margaret Cole Dow was 20 when she married and, as his patrimony lay in Hampton and as he was self-supporting, he quite reasonably elected to remain in Hampton.

Daniel Dow ae m at 32, rather later than usual in those times, 13: 9: 1673, Elizabeth Lamprey, dau of Henry and Gillyen of Hampton. It was a brilliant marriage. Gillyen's mother had been an heiress in England, receiving as dowry a metal bound wooden chest placed on one end of the scales. Gillyen's mother sat on the other and her father poured in gold pieces until the scales balanced,-112 lbs. This chest is now in pos­session of the children of Morris Lamprey of St Paul, Minn. Daniel Dow was of a very different way of thinking, of mode of life, from his brothers. He took no part .in civic affairs, does not even appear by sig­nature in any political or church movement, not even constable, not even on any church committee, when at least three were appointed for a task as simple as moving a stove in or out of church. In fact he did nothing to warrant mention in Hist Hampton. It is quite notable that his pos­terity almost invariably intermarried in a small circle of the pioneer families. There was almost from the first a little local aristocracy and the tribe of Daniel Dow seldom went outside it. Daniel was thrifty;­in 1667 he added to his estate from the luckless NathanielBoulter 21-2 acres of planting ground west of the Southe acre, with one share of the Cow Common and one of the Great Ox Common. "Goodman" 'William Fuller, immigrant of 1635, dying childless, his property was divided among relatives and friends. One recipient was "Elizabeth, now wife of Daniel Dow."

Following a custom still not infrequent in New England to this day, he made no will but deeded all his property to his children during his life. This deed, recorded Apr 10, 1710, gave land "unto my well beloved son-David Dow, my home and barn and houselot where I live, etc; and to my son Henry Dow 2 shares of the great Ox Common of Hampton; and to my daughter-Mary Dow, 20 shares, etc, etc." Wife is not_ mentioned, evidently dead before 1710.

David Dow aed inherited the homestead and was regarded by his father as his well beloved son and heir, proving that at the age of 30 he was not deficient mentally or morally. Yet, from that moment the man drops absolutely out of sight,-the unsolved mystery of the whole 3rd generation of Dow. In the table of births Hist Hampton gives d Jan 10, 1755. This rec seems to belong to a lad of two generations later. How could any man live in Hampton for many years, a land owner and member of a most prominent family, and escape notice to the Historian of Hampton? David must have moved away, as did his brother.

The logical way of procedure is to search other towns for disconnec­ted Dows, possibly children of David. Hist Hampton always loses its grip over Dows who moved to adjoining towns. Only one candidate is found, a man who had Salisbury and Hampton connections, who was in youth in or near Greenland:

a Amasa; rec not found; b presumably about 1704

Amasa Dow aeda by inference, first appears as int pub Sept 14, 1728, to Hannah Briant of Greenland. Oddly, this is Salisbury rec. Also, Salisbury rec: Amasa Dow int pub June 28, 1729, to Lydia Robey of Hampton. Whether Hannah Bryant d, was jiltor or jiltee, we know not. Rec errs in giving Lydia Robey of Hampton. She was then of Kingston; m Kingston Aug 4, 1729. The rest of Amasa's career is a tale soon told. His will probated 1730 names a son:

a Amasa b Kingston Jan 17, i 729-30

Amasa Dow aedaa is traced occasionally. Kingston rec has an error, Amasa m May 2, 1742, Elizabeth French. The truth of this garble is clear in Kingston church rec: Amasa Dow bap May 2, 17 42. The next rec is accurate: Amasa Dow m May 16, 1750, Hannah Buswell. They left Kingston after 1755. Amasa is in the Canterbury tax lists 1767-72, as Amaziah (amazing spelling was then frequent). In 1772 Amasa and Samuel, his son, were among the petitioners for a separate town and parish of Loudon, the nearest church being 13 miles away. His last appearance is in the 1790 census of Bow, Emersay Dow la, 2c. This census credits to Bow many inhabitants of Loudon, Pittsfield and Chichester. Kingston rec prove 2 children but the census indicates a 3rd, the oldest dau being m and gone long before 1790.

Samuel Dow aedaab seems to have associated closely with his father, appears in Bow 1790 census la, lb, 2c. This indicates 1 dau and a son b later than 177 4. All else concerning him must be conjecture. He cannot well be the Samuel, pensioner in Chichester 1840, for he was born 1760, according to pension rec. There was a considerable number of Loudon Dows, probably many descending from aedaab, but the frag­mentary rec permit no reliable continuation. Samuel continues a favor­ite family name there.

Three unconnected Loudon records possibly belong here:

Deborah Dow aedb of Loudon m Nov 27, 1806, Ebenezer Bean of Barnstead.

John Dow m Mch 9, 1835, Susan Jackson, both of Loudon.

Meshech Dow m Nov 22, 1835, Rachel Johnson, both of Loudon. He lived a few years in Northfield, making linen wheels and shuttles; an odd character called there "Old Shuttle Dow."

WE have noted, with much interest to ourselves., at least, the tendency of all Dow lines so far toward marriages confined in a great majority of instances to a small circle of families. This

is most marked in the ae line, five generations allying exclusively with other pioneer families of Hampton. The tendency is almost as complete in all the ab lines who remained near Hampton; a dozen other pioneer families supplying most of the marriages. In the ad lines those who remained Quaker married comparatively little outside Perkins, Hussey, Phillips, Collins. The non-Quakers of Seabrook did likewise, Eaton, Brown, Wal ton, Felch supplying most of the names. This tendency toward inbreeding was absent from the ah lines, Ipswich being a larger place, with other larger towns nearby, giving a much wider range to natural selection. In all this line there are almost never more than three marriages with the same family. The exception is the line of Epping and Gilmanton, about 30 intermarriages with Gilman. In the long run this seems to have had little effect on posterity, numerically or in personal ability. One is apt to think that hereditary influences follow a name, rather than the female lines. True, characters often persist in a family, unaltered from father to son, regardless of the influence of the mothers. A Dow of the 9th generation has but 1-512 of the blood of the immigrant. Gideon Dow's mother was a Perkins and grandmother was a Perkins. Clearly, his posterity have twice as much Perkins in them as they have Dow. The old Scotchman was no more in error than most of us, when he remarked:

"Had I kenned one of my sons would be a doctor, the other a minister, I never would have had auld Jeannie Cosh for their mither."

Resemblances are more apt to follow localities than blood. A whole town comes to look more alike, as well as act more alike, than a whole family divided up among a dozen towns.

Altho Richard Kimball, wheelwright of Watertown and Ipswich, became a very rich man, as times went, accumulating an estate of over £4,000, and altho he naturally desired that it should go to his own blood, he was a little "near," as the New Englanders say. He made a prenuptial contract with Margaret (Cole) Dow, whereby she should have £40 in her own right and "all the stuff she brought with her." Both d about the same time, she Mch 1, 1675, so there was no widow to spend his accumu­lations in riotous living. True, he brought up his step children and taught the boys a trade, but his legacies were not fortunes. To Thomas Dow ah, who needed nothing, he left 40s, payable a year and a half after his death. To Mary Dow af he left the s;tme, altho she never married and was maintained always by her brother. To Jeremiah Dow ai he displayed his wildest extravagance,-£15 when the latter became of age.

Thomas Dow ah, Ye Wheelwright of Ipswich, was a prolific ancestor equal to his half brother Joseph. The two have a much larger posterity than all other Dows of eight families combined. The brothers differed much. Henry ab was a public character always, Joseph ad devoted his best self to his religious association. Daniel ae did nothing. Thomas built his life closely around his home and his business, avoiding publicity either civil or church. He was a soldier when required, publicly unknown otherwise, except as occasionally surveyor of highways and for ten years tything man. He went to church, as did every one; no one could afford to stay away. He and Jeremiah ai had seats together in the new meeting house 1710. Ipswich commons were divided 1693, the share of Thomas being 6 acres. He was a keen judge of real estate and a successful specu­lator. His name appears often as witness to deeds and to wills. Of 9 children, he lost but 2, and many grandchildren were maintained under his roof.

Twenty-seven years ago his shop, then a crumbling ruin, existed on the edge of present Ipswich City. It was then visited by Joy W Dow and Arthur W Dow, both descendants, driven to the spot by Harvey Nourse, authority on Dow temperament (see quotation in preface). Said Joy, many years subsequently: "I had studied genealogy hard for over 20 years, Arthur never except when I stirred him up. I took a very little piece, but Arthur took a whole brick."

Thomas is noted in all the genealogical compendiums, his career well known, yet almost no one has noted the discrepancies in his vital statistics. Hoyt, Old Families, noted but offered no correction. ff <>rnpton rec is clear that he was b Apr 28, 1653. Savage Genealogical Dictionary. gives him m 1663. Original entry of m not found. Hall Gen gives 1675; N E Gen Reg (vol 6, p 250) 1673. The actual date was prior to June, 1668. It may be noted that in the list of children of Henry Dow a, there. is a gap of nearly ten years. Herein is the error. The date is not wrong by a single figure; it could not be 1643, for instance. Men of his time married mostly when 21 to 24. He was born soon after 1644. The name of his 1st wife is given Wall as frequently as Hall. James Hall of Hamp­ton ·m 2nd wid Mary Tuck, dau of James Philbrick.

Acknowledged by Sarah Wall, now wife of Thomas Dow June 25, 1668. Another: Apr 3, 1669; Tho Harvey & wife Elizabeth, dau of said James Wall, and by Sarah Wall, ye present wife of Tho Dow. Savage's error lies clearly in taking the date of the deed, not its acknowledgment. These acknowledgments were made when Sarah came of age, this was 1668, she having been married just previously.

Hoyt, Old Families, Feb 7, 1680-1, and Hoyt is as careful as any one. No authority is quoted. There was only 1 child. Thomas m 2nd in 1684, name of bride being Susannah. This is only known from the mention in his will. Her identity is the subject of many queries for over 30 years in the genealogical periodicals. If the rec is extant, which is more than doubtful, it is too garbled for recognition.

He enlisted, Capt Samuel Appleton, for the Narragansett war; was in camp when it burned, losing his belongings. For this he was indem­nified in £2-10-0, paid May 1676, or over a year later. For the attack on the swamp fort he was in the center of the line. He charged with the rest but fell with a bullet through the knee. The fort was carried. He and 20 others were taken by boat to Road Island to recuperate. There­after he was always lame but it was not until Apr 1684 that he filed a petition to be excused from drill on this account.

Thomas was impressed with the conviction that land of his choosing was the best form of property for his posterity. For many years he traded actively in Ipswich, often together with Jeremiah ai, a less venture­some speculator, but more often alone. Not only Ipswich town lots, but farms, water front, shares in new tracts, anything promising. A farm in Rowley is notable, for when he sold it he reserved the right to cut firewood for his own and children's lifetime. This incident served to locate his son John, genealogically missing, who availed himself of the privilege in 1729. In 1715 the proprietors of a large tract in Windham Co, Conn, advertised very low prices for bona fide settlers, with long credit. It is probable that Thomas himself visited the place, which became the home of three of his sons.

He d July 12, 1728, will probated 13 days later. It had been made Nov 15, 1720, and provided for wife Susannah, who had d Aug 29, 1724. Most of the property had been distributed as land before he died. The whole property was about £4,000. Sister Mary was to be. maintained for life. Dau Hannah was to have the household goods, but she had married and moved away 7 years previously. Legacies of £50 in corn or cattle were made payable 1, 3, 5, and 7 years later to John, Ebenezer,

Thomas, Jeremiah. John received a special legacy of £10 payable in 10 years. Ephraim was executor and residuary legatee.

A crown act resulted unexpectedly to Ephraim's benefit. In 1730 grants of land were made, after many years delay, to veterans of King Philip's War, or their heirs. Five or six such tracts were granted, as more and more claimants were proved. The allotment for Thomas Dow was in what is now Buxton, Me. Ephraim Dow proved his claim and in 1_735 the land was in the name of Nathan Simonds. Probably Ephraim sold it without ever seeing it.

He left £30 each to brothers John, Ebenezer, Thomas and Ephraim; books and spinning wheel to sister Hannah.

John Dow ahb seems to have lived in Newbury, Ipswich and Rowley, as h.is vital data are generally found in all three. A small law suit over right to cut firewood finds him of Rowley 1727 on a piece of land bought many years before by his father. It is quite certain that his oldest two children were b Rowley. He was of Rowley when he receipted for legacies from father and brother. What was his trade we do not know; his children spent most of their early years with grandfather Dow in Ipswich. He seems to have been a widower for 11 years. His 1st wife Mary d Ipswich Sept 1724. Her identity has not been found. Int pub Ipswich Nov 1725 to Elizabeth Smith.

F OR nearly twenty years D Webster Dow of Melrose and No Epping followed industriously the search of genealogy. He had married Alice Burleigh Dow of Epping, like himself of an old

Epping family, and to determine their relationship was his goal. Almost all old Epping rec were burned many years ago, the exception being the rec of second church. Altho he had access to many family Bibles and traditions, he came soon to a point beyond which he could not get. Mrs Dow's line easily went back to Zebulon Dow, Revolutionary soldier, whom Alice Elsie Burleigh. His own line stopped at Daniel Dow, Rev­olutionary soldier. There was a vague tradition that Zebulon was son of John. But, what John? There were about five in Epping. Only one is found in any vital rec: Lieut John Dow, gentleman, d Epping 1775, leaving wid Judith. He assumed that Zebulon and Daniel were brothers, altho 18 years apart.

This mystery which defied all Dow searchers was solved in 1917 by a happy discovery of John Mark Moses, a keen student who wished to :find a will of Beniah Dow adada. None being found in Exeter, he went to Concord. Incidentally he searched the rooms of the N H Historical Society as never before. Here he found a bound manuscript of the late Gov Samuel Plumer, who at one time considered writing a history of Epping. He got only as far as transcribing the town rec and those of 2 churches. His rec are the very ones which have been lost. He seemingly did not know of rec of the second church. The vital statistics in the ms are from 1678 to 1842. They are imperfect, many seem not to have ever had original entry. They give, however, the data needed to prove the identities sought.

Benjamin Dow ahba. The ms proves that Benjamin was father of Lieut John and Daniel. It also proves identity, as Benjamin and Elizabeth were charter members of church in 1748. Elizabeth is ahbd, then keeping house for her widowered brother. Benjamin settled in Epping not many months before 1748. How or where he spent his married life, what was his trade is not known. His brother Isaac had settled 17 42 in Amesbury; his brother Moses and his sister Miriam have never appeared. He had 2 sons and had at least 3 more children by 1755. His 2nd m must have been very close to 1748. She was not an Epping girl and that her name was Sarah is known only from real estate deeds. No trace of 1st wife has ever appeared. The Plumer ms gives his death: 1786 (year blurred, but probably correctly given), ae 65, Benjamin Dow. Also in Plumer ms: 1811, ae 83, widow of the late Benjamin Dow, & noted midwife. , Benjamin's 1st born was but 7 years younger than she. Wm G Nichols of Griffin, Ga, inspected every deed in Exeter bearing the name Dow. As Benjamin was a constant land speculator, his career is

400 THE BOOK OF DOW

now easily followed. His first purchase was in 1749; by 1758 he had bought 11 parcels and sold 2. This proves he was comparatively well to do by the time he reached Epping. T;wo purchases were of expected inheritances, each with a life intervening. His homestead farm finally amounted to 210 acres. In 1758 he sold 2 plots which he had owned for 5 years. He then made a purchase most notable in the history of the Dow family,-from Samuel Gilman Jr a slice of the newly organized town of Gilmanton, N H. Much of this land was inherited by his son Noah and Gilmanton became the home of more Dows than any other town in this country. This deed contains another remarkable circumstance,­witnessed by Benjamin A Dow, otherwise wholly unknown. There is no tenable hypothesis about him. In 1758 Benjamin transferred to his son John a homestead bought 2 years previously from Samuel Gilman Jr. In 1774 he deeded to son Daniel land of equal value, being half of his own 140 acre homestead. The three pieces adjoined and were kept by the sons all their lives. That Benjamin deferred his gift to Daniel indicates that Daniel lived elsewhere until 1774. There were no later real estate transactions. It is improbable that any children were b later than 1755. The list:

a John. Plumer ms gives: John, son of Benjamin, b 1735 b Daniel. Plumer gives: Dan,iel, son of Benjamin, b 1737. This date agrees

with Daniel's enlistment papers c •Noah. Rec of Epping second church seem to have been transcribed, the writer

taking liberties in condensation, stating Noah, Rachel, and Josiah were hap prior t? Dec 25, 1755. This may or may not mean that they were bap at the same time

The possibility of sons Nathaniel b 1758 and Benjamin b 1759 is discussed under adaab

John•Dow ahbaa, generally called Jr, an older John Dow in town being adaab, was little known until the discovery of the Plumber ms, rec of second church, Exeter deed and his own inventory made reconstruction easy. He d at 40, Nov 1775, having promised a notable career. The Plumber ms says: "John Dow, son of Benjamin, bold, active, enter­prising man & very ambitious, Lieutenant of Militia, of good under­standing and great decision of character." He had grown enormously stout, could easily button his vest around 4 of his children.

Hem at 21, but rec not found. Hist Newfields says Judith Gilman m a Dow of Epping. There is here a little break in the Gilman Gen. Judith was dau of James by a 1st wife. Lyford Gen gives Eliza Lyford, descendant of Francis Lyford and Gov Paul Dudley, m James Gilman. James Gilman in his will bequeathed to Judith Dow all the clothing that was her late mother's (Hannah Leavitt's), all his cattle and sheep not otherwise disposed of. It seems that James Gilman neglected to make a will after his 2nd m. This will was probated July 1779. Elizabeth Gilman at once makes application to the court for relief. This is surely Eliza Lyford. She represents that her late husband ,James Gilman had

THE BOOK OF DOW 401

left her destitute. The court at once granted her petition and presumably Judith had to relinquish her legacy. Judith was a good woman of bus­iness,. John Dow d intestate and unexpectedly, still involved in heavy speculations. He owed money and the estate had not enough personal property to pay it off. We note that he owned 16 notes of hand. No value is placed upon them in his inventory. They could not have been worthless, probably they were not collectible at short notice. Judith applied for permission to sell some of the real estate, and while the court had her petition under advisement, she married Timothy Jones, her neighbor, recently a widower, with a dau Eleanor to be added to Judith's large flock. , John Dow was a more daring land speculator than his father. He

had doubled the size of his homestead; had backed the founding of new communities upstate. He took an original share in Tamworth, N H, and was one of the largest original proprietors of Sanbornton. Tamworth hung fire for about 20 years. Sanbornton prospered quickly. In 1771 John was one of the three to survey the town, laying off the lots for individuai ownership. He bought and sold freely, but there is no in­dication that he ever intended to leave Epping. Speculation in shares of new towns was about the only form of speculation in those days. Fluctuations were lively, sometimes astonishing.

If old tenor were worth present sterling John Dow would have been a very· rich man for his time. His estate was inventoried by Joseph Sias, afterwards Revolutionary captain and father-in-law of Josiah Dow ahbae, and David Folsom:

As we have said before there were a number of John Dows in Epping. All the bap rec of children specify "of John," mother's name never given. Therefore we cannot be absolutely sure that all the children listed here belong to ahbaa. We are merely reasonably certain:

a Zebulon; rec not found; enlistment says b 1757 b James Gilman bap Nov 23, 1761; d young?

Dow of Walden, Vt, 1805, was he. Cf adaabdd in Book and adaabdd in Sup­plement.

Zebulon Dow ahbaaa d Epping Dec 20, 1843. A family statement that he was the oldest Revolutionary survivor in N H is nearly correct. He enlisted 1st in Capt Clark's Epping company 1775; a year later under Capt Daniel Gordon, serving over a year; receipted at Saratoga 1777 for a month's pay.

Benjamin Dow ahbaaab. It is remarkable that the Epping Dow genealogist never mentioned his existence, also remarkable that he, a man of wealth and prominence, executor of his father's will, lifelong resident of Epping, should not be even mentioned in town vital statistics. Census 1850 finds him b 1805 (obvious error); wife Susan b N H 1798; farmer, realty assessed $6,000. Census shows a child:

a Lavina b 1824; untraced

John Dow ahbaac. We are here apparently hopelessly confused, 3 Johns of about the same age and circumstances in Epping. In 1885 Freeman Augustus Dow, mariner of San Francisco, unm, corresponded at length with Edgar R Dow of Portland. He reported that Miss Laura E Dow of So Lee, N H, was an authority on this family. He stated with utmost positiveness that his ancestor John was brother of Zebulon Dow ahbaaa, and this is strengthened by the circumstances that John named one son Zebulon. He stated, moreover, that John moved to Newmarket, thence to Gilmanton, where he lived, a pensioner, to extreme age; that by a 1st wife he had 3 sons; m 2nd Rebecca Knox, by whom 4 sons, 1 dau.

This may be absolutely correct. The rec shows that John Dow arrived in Gilmanton 1776; that Sept 25, 1776, he was on the roll of Capt John Moody, Col John Badger, with travel allowance 320 miles; afterwards in Ool Stickney's reg. Enlisted July 14, 1779 Capt Ezekiel Worthen; disch Jan 9, 1780. The pension list shows that this John was a pensioner in Gilmanton 1850. Gilmanton vital statistics are frag­mentary and give no item attachable with plausibility. Census of 1850 gives John Dow, farmer, b NH 1758, wife Rebecca b NH 1784. This must be Rebecca Knox.

John Dow ahbaac was hap 1762; perhaps he was b 1758. If so, all well. There is just this element of doubt. It is just possible that Freeman A Dow, trying to find his own ancestry, groped among the various Johns and jumped at the conclusion of ahbaac. Three sons by John's 1st wife are given. These are unknown. There is at least one more Benjamin in Gilmanton than is accounted for. The son John is lost in the multiplicity of John Dows. The son Gilman is evidence of the Epping connection.

However, the children of John, by the list of Freeman A Dow: a John b Benjamin c Gilman; none living 1885; these by 1st wife; b presumably 1782-93

John Dow ahbaacx. Until reading the 1885 letters of Freeman A Dow, the Author identified ahbaac with the John Dow of Epping known as "Little John," to distinguish him from ahbaaaa. Plumer ms gives: Mch 8, 1815, ae 50, 1st wife of John Dow, dau of Thomas Noble of Lee. It is not at all impossible that this is ahbaac, the m to Rebecca Knox occurring 1815-6. Plumer ms gives: John Dow of Epping m May 12, 1823, Ruth James of Northwood. This cannot be the same John. Still another unknown John appears, but without discovered date, for Sally, wife of John Clough of Strafford, signed a receipt for a dower provision to John Dow, executor of John Dow. Evidently some Sally m John Dow who had a son John and before her husband's estate was fully administered had a 2nd m. Until we can disentangle the two Johns, we call (for con­venience) John, now either identical or confused with ahbaacx. There follow, however, in Epping rec some children of John, mother not stated. The 1st born sounds identical with the 1st born of Freeman A Dow's account,-all the more so, as there was a dau Laura:

Daniel Dow ahbab. So far not one of his children's b rec have been found in Epping, altho he lived there all his life except for a hiatus of about 12 years. Apparently, he m away from Epping and returned there just before the war, receiving the 70-acre gift of his father. Gov Plumer in his ms notes: 1780 (year not certain), ae conjectured, the first wife of Daniel Dow. The ms notes that the original entries are not wholly legible, and it is evident that the ms entry was after the 2nd m.

THE BOOK OF DOW 409

If she had been an Epping girl, her name might not have been given, but surely her age would not have been conjectured. He did not stay long to cultivate his patrimony, for he appeared in Haverhill, Mass, to enlist Aug 1, 1775, 5th reg, Capt Jeremiah Gilman, Col John Nixon; at Winter Hill Dec 1775; re-enlisted twice; finally disch Nov 30, 1777. Plumer ms notes his death Sept 18, 1816,-Daniel Dow, son of the late Benjamin Dow, Baptist Society, age disagreeing 2 years with enlistment papers, which gave him b 1737. Plumer ms is quite prone to such minor errors.

Soon after his disch Daniel returned to his Epping farm; m 2nd Mary Grant of Exeter, d June 4, 1831. She was considerably younger than Daniel, and it is doubtful whether she had more than one child, altho the Epping hap rec attributes some to her, now known to be born before 1780.

The homestead has never left the family,-it is now the 400-acre nursery farm of D Webster Dow ahbabjib. Daniel was not satisfied with his old house and built a new one. He was his own architect, not even consulting his wife, for the house had not as much as a single window, and wives generally demand plenty of windows as well as closets. The whole family moved in, but, happ'ily for the health of all, it soon got the reputation of being haunted. The former house had been demolished, so a third had to be built in a hurry. After Daniel died his children altered the haunted house, putting in extra windows to make up for lost time. This structure with massive timbers was the homestead until about 1900. when a more modern house was built alongside, the old timbers being used. Daniel had no eye for architectural beauty, only a keen sense of stability.

His will dated Mch 3, 1816, made his son Noah executor, names 9 children, 3 grandchildren. Family tradition, surely correct, says there were 12 children. Bap rec finds 3, rest from family rec or from subsequent rec:

a Lyford bap Sept 4, 1763; d Apr 7, 1841, ae 78, 5 mos . b Betsey (hap Betty May 20, 1764); called in will Betsey Parsons; m --

Parsons and d old age Ripley, Me; had a son Job of Dover c Benjamin b May 25, 1766 (family Bible) d Chandler hap July 3, 1768 e Asa hap Aug 5, 1770 f John; probably b later than here g Abigail d Feb 11, 1867, ae 92 1-2; m -- Barker, as she is called Abigail

Barker in will h Sally b Apr 12, 1779 (year wrong); m (int pub Feb 7) Dec 9, 1796, Joseph

Robinson of Exeter; d Aug 12, 1825; had a son John i · Polly j ·Daniel b May 18, 1778 (family Bible)

k Noah b 1780 (probably earlier) I Lucretia; not in will; presumably d young

Epping church has a rec not easily explicable: Nov 6, 1773, Daniel Dow, son of Daniel, hap on his own account only. A family tradition says that Noah Dow ahbabk had an illegitimate son, whom he recognized. This is unlikely of Noah (q v), and it is not improbable that Daniel ahbab was the father of this youngster, who din young manhood.

410 THE BOOK OF DOW

Lyford Dow ahbaba. The Lyford family of Epping is connected with Dow almost as frequently as Gilman; the recurrence of the name here suggests that the first wife of Daniel was a Lyford. The gap in the narrative of Daniel's life prior to his return to Epping may be filled by guessing that he went to sea for some years, leaving his first wife ashore at Newbury or elsewhere and that his wife d there. Lyford left Epping early, as did Daniel's other sons, leaving the homestead to be inherited by the tenth child. Lyford m Nov '11, 1783, Miriam Morrill, both of Epping. If identification of their oldest son is correct, he probably lived some years in Newburyport. His next certain mention is in 1798 as surveyor of highways in Sanbornton. He is not found in the 1790 census, which mentions an Eliphalet Dow 2a, lb, 2c. This is probably error for Lyford. Hem about 1791-2 Eunice Parsons of Epping b about 1770-1, d Dover, Me, 1862, and had by her 5 children. In 1805 they moved to the Piscataquis Valley, Me. Parsons Gen does not give Eunice nor her brother Job, who m Lyford's sister Betty and was a pioneer of Ripley, Me. Lyford was the second settler of what is now Dover, Me, where he lived until Apr 7, 1841. His sons cleared land while he occupied him­self with hauling goods for incoming settlers, having good ox t1ams.

Mrs Reuben B Edgerly of East Dover began over 20 years ago a monograph of his descendants. Not knowing Lyford's parentage and getting a clue that he came from Epping, she wrote to D Webster Dow. The unanswered letter fell 20 years later into the hands of the present Author and Lyford's ancestry was made clear. Mrs Edgerly's work is very complete and careful. Children; 6 b Sanbornton:

a Daniel b and c -- two dau, unknown d John b Sept 1793 e Benjamin b Sept 18, 1795 f Sarah (Sally) b Apr 12, 1797 g Betsey G b Sept 3, 1800 h Lyford b Apr 8, 1802 i Eunice b Nov 7, 1804 j Job b Jan 3, 1807; 1st white male bin Dover k Deborah (unaccountably skipped in family Bible); recalled by two of her

brothers as a playmate; surely d young Asa Parsons (the father of Eunice was probably John of Epping, who moved

upstate) m Josiah b Feb 23, 1814

Daniel Dow ahbabaa of Newbury is placed here solely because Lyford had an untraced oldest son and the name Lyford recurs. He m Aug 13, 1810, Johan.na Morse JJettingell of Newburyport. Census 1850 gives him b NH 1785, merchant of Salem, assessed $2,500; wife Joanna b Mass 1795. Children:

a Elijah W b NH 1805 b Noah b NH about 1807

Elijah W Dow ahbabfa appears in Milo 1850 census, assessed $150; wife Hannah b N H 1805. Census gives 1 child:

a Rice Sb 1828; untraced. This name, occurring 3 times in ahbab is good proof of identity

Next name in census is Eliza Dow b Me 1818, assessment $1,500. Age forbids that she was wid of a son of Elijah W. Two names next following must be akin:

b Caroline b 1831 c Emma J b 1845

Noah Dow ahbabfb is found only in d rec of dau; wife Sally Dow (maiden name??) b Sebec. The dau:

THE BOOK OF DOW 427

Noah Dow ahbabk, executor of his father's will, is neglected in the ms of the Epping Dow genealogist and does not figure in Epping annals. It is said that he had a son in Epping by a Miss Cilley, whom he recognized but who d ae 18. This may or may not be true. It will be noted that all other sons of ahbab, except the one who inherited the homestead, emigrated to Maine. We believe that Noah also settled in Maine, perhaps a pioneer, for a Noah Dow b about 1780 was a farmer of Exeter, Me, dying there of old age at the home of a married dau. His line was barely touched upon in the Edgar R Dow disconnected papers and a few continuations have been found in miscellaneous Me rec. He m a Miss Herrin; had 4 sons, 3 dau, order of birth not known:

a David; lived Waite b John b Exeter Nov 14, ]803 e -- son d unm d Benjamin d young e Sally m 1830 Elias Titcomb; had sons,-F W of Houlton; Charles of East

Dover; -- dau m Calvin Ireland of So Dover f Charlotte m George Henjston of Exeter g Celinda m Henry Dearborn

David Dow ahbabka. It is known that he settled in Waite and had considerable family; 1st born was John. There have been many Dows of Waite, presumably of this line. David seems to have been the Capt David Dow of the Aroostook war of 1839.

John Dow ahbabkb d (teamster of Bangor) Mch 9, 1876; m Lydia Libbey, ae 29, d Bangor Apr 29, 1834, leaving 1 dau; 2nd (her sister) Abigail Libbey, dau of Jonathan and Hannah of Livermore; 3rd Oct 17, 1858, Mary A Weed b Bangor Oct 11, 1833, d Bangor Mch 4, 1886. Apparently only 2 children:

a Charlotte L b Jan 1, 1834 b William H b Sept 23, 1860

Charlotte L Dow ahbabkba m Oct 29, 1860, Isaac N Jones b Litch­field Jan 12, 1831, owner of Litchfield stage line. Children:

a Alice Mae b Jan 29, 1894; of Bangor, recent directory

Joel Dow ahbabkx (for convenience). The only known Dows of Atkinson are of the ahbaba line. The 1850 census shows six families there, apparently with a common ancestor Joel b NH 1780. The name Joel recurs often, and it affords no clue,-no missing Joel known. If this family is Dow at all (and it is not likely, since they are not now recognized by old residents); they must have moved away not long after 1850. We notice that there was in the neighborhood a family of Doore, frequently intermarrying with the ahbaba Dows. This name appears to be a cor­ruption of Dorr. Quite possibly the right name is Jo0l Dorr and the census

Noah Bow ahbac. No will or administration papers of ahba have been found. We have seen that 1-3 of his homestead was given to each of the 2 sons by 1st wife. Another son Josiah probably inherited the remaining third. Noah apparently had for his share the Gilmanton land. The old-fashioned, non-genealogical, inadequate Hist Gilmanton gives little aid. Noah was the first Dow to reach Gilmanton, 1772. He m Belmont Dec 2, 1772, Hannah Folsom. A town Hist calls her dau of William and Hannah (Gilman); this errs. William Folsom, selectman of Newmarket for 20 consecutive years, d 1755; his son Maj David m Sarah -- and was father of Hannah.

Noah signed the Association Test; in 1777 he enlisted for Ticon­deroga, the expedition which turned back after a few days. In later years he was always known as captain, perhaps a militia title. An inn keeper, he gets a mention as on an important church committee in 1793.

THE BOOK OF DOW

Nothing more about his career has been found. The 1790 census gives him la, 3b, 3c. This means 2 sons under 16 and 2 dau. No b rec found in Gilmanton. Folsom Gen, an old work, gives 2, also proven by vital statistics. It is useless just now to speculate on the identity of the younger children.

Josiah Dow ahbae grew up in Eppjng; appears in muster roll of Capt Clark's Epping Co; later enlisted, Capt Joseph Sias, Col Moses Nichols; mustered out R I Aug 5, 1778, service 28 days. He m a dau of Capt Sias, and they went with others of the Sias family to Belfast, Me. Here his wifed, oldest child probably hers. He seems to have returned to Epping.

Some of the Epping Lyfords became original settlers of Canterbury and Josiah Dow may have gone with them. At all events he was the original owner of lot 34, school district 2.

Enlisted as private in 112th Ill inf, chosen as Capt; promoted to Major Feb 1863, to Lieut Col Apr 1, 1865; resigned 2 months later and returned to Anna­wan. For 2 years acting Col of 112th, with Burnside and Sherman, taking part in the latter's march to the sea. He commanded a brigade in several actions and directed the parole of a corps of the army of Gen Joe Johnson.

In 1866 he entered the lumber business in Chicago; in 1868 moved to Davenport, building the Crescent Flour mills with 2 partners, one being S F Gilman, his son-in-law. He continued this business until his death. In 1872 Alderman, 1878 Mayor of Davenport; 1872 director, 1876 president of First Nat Bank. Of 4 children, 1 survived:

He was for 18 years blacksmith of Amesbury. May 18, 176d, he and wife obtained dismissal from Amesbury second church to the new church of Sandown. Here he built a new smithy. A short, stout man, he went one day in 1784 to cut weeds in the field beside his shop. Not returning to dinner, his children searched and found him dead, leaning against the fence.

The Barker family had come from Newbury and owned a great tract of undeveloped land beyond Haverhill. The present city of Lawrence is on that land. Presumably owing to this marriage Thomas located in Methuen, setting up his own blacksmith shop, but he was in close touch with Sandown, his sister Hannah marrying Mary's brother John.

heavenly blue. This pronounced blonde type has recurred occasionally in her descendants, most of whom are dark.

In the preliminaries to the Revolution all the Methuen Barkers and Sandown Dows were active, organization and drilling having begun many months before hostilities. All were so-called minute men, having engaged to leave home for the fight at a minute's notice. Who carried the alarm of the British troops leaving Boston is not known. The Methuen and other contingents met punctually at the Alarm Post, a huge boulder at the edge of Lowell. Maj Samuel Bedwell was in command; John Ford was sgt and Thomas Dow corporal. Parson Bridge was at the alarm post demanding that before the start all should repair to his meeting house, but the men refused. Sgt Ford explained particularly that there was more important bb.siness on hand. Some were on horseback, some on foot, the latter speeding up by holding a stirrup. They arrived at Lexington Apr 19 and took part in the fray; The rolls give them 4 1-2 days service on this occasion. The organization was the same at Bunker Hill, arriving to find Capt Reuben Dow bcdea already behind the earthworks. It is family tradition that two or more of Thomas' brothers were at Bunker Hill, but there is no record to substantiate this. It is certain, however, that there were nine Dows in this fight. The only reason the Author has for thinking that Simeon Dow ahbce lived to this time is that family tradition says that one brother, supposedly he, came home after the fight and told an anecdote (which stuck in memory) of his neighbor in the ranks loading and firing as fast as he could and praying incessantly: "Oh, God, help us to fight this battle and give to us the victory."

The Revolutionary rolls seldom give enough to trace the movements of any man through the War. Thomas Dow was at the pre-arranged rendezvous after all had come down the hill together. He appears but twice more in the rolls, under Capt John Calfe, Col Timothy Bartlett, in 1776, and receipting, under Capt Stone, for £1-6-8, travel allowance for Charlestown. His permanent return home was probably in 1777. He had been home, laid up with rheumatism, but had reported again for duty. One knee was always afterwards stiffened from rheumatism.

His business in Methuen had been prosperous and in 1775 he had three appren,tices. They left, however, and Mary (Barker) Dow was alone to care for her four children. During the summer all went reasonably well, but before the winter had far progressed they became short of firewood and food. Another baby arrived before Spring. Mary Barker explained that to conserve food she would apportion a supply at each meal and even greater scarcity might follow. Thomas Dow ahbcab was then seven years old. When his mother was housecleaning next spring she found in his room small portions of bread, rice and the like. The youngster had silently saved them against the feared times

of greater need. Continental money did not go far. Mary Barker paid $80 for a cheese.

Thomas Dow was several years in Methuen after the war; and located where is now Danville, Vt. He sold his Methuen farm and shop and with the proceeds built in Danville a new blacksmith shop and a public house known as Gore Inn. The place is still called the Gore, on a point of Danville Village Green. Here he prospered, serving fourteen consecutive years in the Legislature. He and Aaron Hartshorne, presumably his partner in the inn, sold (Vt Hist Gaz vol I, p 314) Sept, 1796, for and in consideration of £30 to the County a parcel of land containing 4 acres situated in Danville Green Village, to have and to hold the same so long as the public buildings should remain at Danville. This condition was broken many years ago but no 1Dow has ever laid claim to the property.

In 1819, two of his children being settled in Yorkshire, N Y, Thomas left these children who had elected Danville for their home and went to Yorkshire. Here he lived three years, dying Mch 15, 1822, his wife dying the following year. Their gravestones still stand in Arcade cemetery. The first eight children b Methuen rest in Danville:

A NDOVER rec fail to show any children to Elizabeth (Moody) Dow by her 2nd m. Ebenezer Dow ahbg lived with his stepfather until he enlisted

at 15, and thereafter made his home in Andover until, in old age, he joined a son in Concord, NH. Hem June 12, 1760, Elizabeth Wilson, wid of John Danforth of Andover. She had 2 children,-Elizabeth b 1755 and Hannah b 1757. Ebenezer was away fighting as much as he could be, and probably his wife was often put to it to care for her total of 11 children. A dau-in-law compiled many years later some account .of the family and speaks rather vaguely of a 2nd m. Ebenezer d Concord Nov 1817 and his wife Elizabeth June 27, 1824. So, if a 2nd wife, her name was also Elizabeth. Hist Concord, Boughten's, gives quite a sketch of Ebenezer but knew little about his married life and went wrong on his children, putting in Timothy Dow, who is bcbebb. All the children were b Andover. In 1918 the Author received from Chas Asher Dow a ms of Phoebe Wells Dow ahbgi tracing Ebenezer's posterity as best she could, with additional notes by her son Isaac Wilson Dow to 1820. This ms, faded almost to illegibility, does not give the children in right order,­John, Edmund, Sally, Eb, Moody, Joseph, Isaac, Jacob. From this, Andover and Concord, we collate a list:

a Ebenezer b Feb 21, 1761 (Andover and Concord agreeing) b John b Jan 27, 1763. Hist Concord says d young; Andover says a son din

army 1776. This is complete error c Sarah b Feb 19, 1765 d Moody b (Hist Concord), or hap (Andover) Sept 28, 1766 e Jbseph b or bap (rec differing as before) June 19, 1768 f Edmund bap June 24, 1770.

Jacob b Apr 5, 1775; bap Apr 14, 1776

Hist Concord gives very imperfectly two more generations, then ends abruptly. In 1917 the Author caused to be published on the front page of the Patriot, Concord's leading newspaper, a recital of Ebenezer Dow's career, with fresh incidents and proofs, requesting data of his descendants, promising in return the full ancestry of the Concord Dows to 1544. Not one reply was ever received.

For many years Ebenezer lived with his son Moody in west parish. He had his pension and was tho'ro\lghly comfortable. Thus he was able to sit by his doorway, shoulder his crutches and tell many tales how battles were won. There were grandchildren aplenty to listen, lots of other children and not a few grown-ups. Some of the latter thought from time to time that Ebenezer's stories grew bolder and a little ex­aggerated as time went on and with endless repetitions. Maybe, maybe; but the official records always bear him out. If his tales were collected they would make a good history of two wars. He told of being a ranger

THE BOOK OF DOW 445

and scout at 16. Newbury rec back him up, showing he enlisted 1755 under Capt James Smith. At 17 he was serving as a ranger in the French war. In old age his hands were curiously disfigured, one mass of scar tissue with almost no nails. This, he explained, dated back to the French war about 1759. He had gotten information of an Indian camp in the forest about 3 days journey distant and guided a company to take it by surprise. Lamentably, they counted on re-provisioning by capture from the Indians. On arrival they found that the foe had suddenly decamped, doubtless warned, the only eatable left being a freshly killed deer hide found hanging on a tent. This they boiled for soup after cutting it into equal strips. On this they started back but the privations were such that only four survived. vVhile crossing a lake, Ebenezer's show shoe became untied; taking off his mittens to fix it, they blew away and he made 20 miles bare handed. At the first house encountered, he found a goodwife boiling a pot of bean porridge. Frantic with frost bite and pain, he thrust both hands into the boiling mess. He was present at the capture of Ticonderoga, the battles of Crown Point and Ft William Henry; at the capture of Louisburg and next year at Quebec. At Quebec, he said, the fighting was the worst, hand to hand with knives. At the massacre of Ft William Henry he heard ''the groans of the dying,­praying and cursing,-and yells of savages, all mixed together." He was in the service in 1760, apparently quitting at the time of his marriage.

Of course, he was too much of a war horse to stay at home in 1775. He left a newborn baby to be at Lexington and there he saw the dead patriots laid out. He was a minute man at Concord when the redcoats came to destroy the stores there. Again, he was at Bunker Hill, saw the whites of the British eyes and joined in the volleys, one, two, three, but this was easy, he remarked, nothing like the fighting of earlier days. He appears as sgt on the payroll for Lexington, 1 1-2 days, Capt Samuel Johnson, Col Wigglesworth. He next volunteered in the ill-fated expedition against Canada, headed by Benedict Arnold, suffering almost incredibly from cold, hunger and fatigue. At Quebec he was taken prisoner but was among those exchanged. So, he promptly re-enlisted and was present at the battles of Bennington and Saratoga. There are four rec in Rev rolls not clearly to be distinguished between adadh and ahbg. One or the other receipted Sept 12, 1777, for £6-13-3 in Col Gilman's reg. He was probably the sgt Ebenezer paid for' 3 mos, 27 days Saratoga expedition Sept 1777, Capt Porter Kimball, Col Stephen Evans.

John Dow ahbgb enlisted Gilmanton, ae 16, Capt Worthen, Col Mooney. One presumes he traveled to Gilmanton on account of some especial bounty offered by that martial town. The practice of going to enlist where bounties were attractive was rather general. A favorite tale in later years was his experience in riding Gen Benedict Arnold's horse. John certainly never lived in Concord, hence unknown to Hist Concord. After the war he went to Portland, Me, where he failed as a manufacturer. He then movf'd to Durham and taught school to save money for a fresh start. He opened a potash factory in Durham and succeeded. He was recalled by a grandniece as a tall, spare man with dark complexion and thin face. He was a genuine Dow, for one of his many habits was to hold lengthy conversations with himself, avoiding any talk whatever with others. When a neighbor asked why he did it, he replied that he liked to talk occasionally with a sensible man and this was the only way he could do it.

Mrs Eliza (Haines) Dow wrote in 1887 that three brothers, ,John, Rev veteran, Edmund and :Moody, came from Concord, NH, and settled in Me; that Moody was a physician of Bowdoinham, that he had a son David. This is by all means too circumstantial to b2 dismissed. Un­fortunately, the career of Moody Dow ahbgd is well known throughout. Also, every son of ahbg is accounted for, unless we have erred about Ebenezer ahbga.

Can Eliza H Dow be wholly mistaken about her own uncle? Let us consider the family here.

The earliest known Dow of Bowdoinham is David b probably by 1800. David Dow ahbgbx b Bowdoinham, shipbuilder of Bath m Nancy Cassidy b Bath. Children, by own rec:

a Reuben b Bowdoinham 1825 b David b 1829 (d rec ~ays at Bath) c Abby Cd Lisbon Mch 2, 1880; m Nov 1860 James Horace Woodard d Soldiers'

. Bowdoin 1850 census had Eleanor C Dow b :vle 1782, apparently wid with dau Mary b 1821. This probably has no connection.

Bath 1850 census has a David Dow b Me 1806, carpenter; realty $300; wife Sarah b Me 1824. Barely possible this is identical with 2nd wife. Six children by census, untraced:

d Peter b 1841 e Abba b 1843 f Sophia b 1845 g George b 1846 h William b 1848 i Frances b 1849

Feb 24, 1830, he left his home in Concord and joined the Shakers of Canterbury. He did not desert his family in the usual sense of the word. He invited them to come with him; his piety and well meaning are not doubted; his fairness and wisdom wholly questionable. Shakers had a community of property and it is not easy to see how a divided family should be financed. Happily, the children were by this time self-supporting:

A MORE complete account of the so-called "Connecticut Dow" has been the work of many years of Joy Wheeler Dow ahgchhc. This account is as complete as our ability has permitted. The

Connecticut Dow are our lines of ahc, ahd, and ahg. Ebenezer Dow ahc arrived and took his lot, with 29 others, in the

unorganized district known as Volunteers' Settlement in 1715. He proceeded at once to build himself a house and clear land for planting. This done, he bent his efforts toward organizing a town, getting a church, and entering the body politic. Being diplomatic, he readily abandoned his Ipswich Congregationalism, which his brothers refused to do, and was elected deacon and was all his life presiding elder. In 1721 he was the first selectman chosen, was tax collector for the church, and on committee to locate the burying ground. The church organized in 1723, Ebenezer being on the committee to call a pastor. He was town clerk for 40 years. He d Oct 2, 1775; m Dec 29, 1720, Martha Harris b Oct 27 (Nov 26, Plainfield rec), 1696, d Voluntown Feb 4, 1791, dau of Ebenezer and Rebecca (Clark). Children:

It is doubtful whether there were sons Joseph and James, the latter leaving 2 sons. Both seem mistaken identities.

Cyrus Dow ahcba m Nabby Rogers. By reliable family rec, they had but 2 children. The 1790 census gives him 4a, lb; 2c. This must be doubling up with some other family. They moved to Sherburn, N J, where a son was living 1885. Children:

Daniel Dow ahcbf, as well known for fifty years as a clergyman can be, :figures in a remarkable aggregate of baptisms, marriages and funerals in Rhode Island, Mass and Conn; grad Yale 1793, supported himself for two years by teaching psalmody while studying for the ministry under Rev Elizur Goodrich of Durham and his own pastor, Rev Enoch Pond, grad Brown 1777. He became pastor Apr 20, 1796, of the Thompson Congregational church; had already m (Aug 20, 1795) Hannah Bolles, dau of Dea Jesse of Woodstock. Salaries were small; he began at $300, soon increased to $400. There was a great increase in cost of living after the 1812 war and this drove him into debt about $500. He asked dis­mission from his church that he might go to work, but instead they raised his salary to $500. On this he got debt free in 1848. He was elected a fellow of Yale 1824; one of the principal founders of the Theological Institute of Conn, East Windsor Hill, 1833; received honorary D D from Williams 1840. He was a vigorous preacher, always speaking without written notes, his style unostentatious and earnest. His theology was of the old style, seeming ultra-conservative even in his own day. He deplored deeply the liberality of the Yale Divinity School and felt com­pelled to combat many of its doctrines. He was active in the ministry and with clear mind when he d suddenly July 19, 1849. His wife survived until Sept 8, 1853. His portrait is in Larned, Hist Windham Co, and many other places. Of nine children, only 3 survived him:

He left the farm to become a news reporter on the Springfield Republican, even then a famous paper. In a few years he took a wider position with the Providence, R I, Star; then abandoned newspaper work to become manager of a mine in Leadville, Colo. Not liking this

THE BOOK OF DOW 463

he formulated plans to enter the news field in N Y City with Edward D Jones, with whom he had been associated on the Star. They took a third partner, Charles M Bergstresser of NY, who supplied much needed capital. The essential idea was to improve upon existing methods of disseminating news, chiefly of financial interest, from moment to moment, with better facilities for gathering it. This had been done for some years by the late senator John J Kiernan with a few reporters and with slips printed slowly and distributed by boys from office to office, each boy visiting 10 to 15 offices. The service later developed into the sporting ticker. The method was crude, much time wasted in printing. Dow, Jones & Co began by systematizing the delivery, then by building up its collecting service, getting their own correspondents in all large cities and in Europe and maintaining a large staff of reporters in the financial district. They made reciprocal alliances with the press associations. Already the payroll had become fifty times greater than its predecessors. The service was at first sold at $20 a month, raised to $25, then to $30, later $75. Almost every bank and Stock Exchange house found the service a necessity.

The telephone service was greatly augmented. Often at some important dividend meeting a wire was especially strung, ending in the hand of a reporter in front of the meeting door. A small rotary press was invented inside the firm, by which about 200 words could be printed on slips at 500 or more per minute. This was used for "rush" news; longer articles were as before printed on slower flat bed presses. ·

The invention of the page printing electrical ticker, first seen in 1896, revolutionized the industry and Dow, .Tones & Co quickly secured rights to it. A paper tape about 4 inches wide carries the news. The parent keyboard, like a typewriter, can transmit easily 30 or more words a minute and without any relaying delivers simultaneously and instantly in several thousand offices. Already leased telegraph wires were main­tained to other cities. The page printing ticker now prints simultane­ously in Boston, Chicago, Montreal, Washington and way points. Similar service to London consumes not over 50 seconds in transmission. The announcement of any important act is now made throughout the land in less than 10 seconds.

At the close of the day, all the news was summarized into a newspaper, with much editorial matter, financial analyses, etc, added. This is the Wall St Journal, now on the scale of a metropolitan daily paper. Until 1886 it was the whole endeavor of Charles H Dow to build up the news service. Then, for five years, he was the Stock Exchange member of Goodbody, Glyn & Dow, in which office the Author received his early financial training. In 1891 he returned to give his entire time to the Wall St Journal, his partners, of whom several were added, hand­ling the news service. A building was bought to accommodate the enlarged business.

He enjoyed the confi<ience of all the captains of industry and was personally known to every financier in the country. He was known to be discreet and unbribable, his integrity tried again and again, when a piece of doctored news, a colored statement, would have brought him a fortune. On the other hand, his way of telling truth about a mismanaged corporation made him many enemies in high places. The firm was never sued for libel.

In later years he took some interest in his genealogy, feeling keenly that with his death a historic line would become extinct.

Aaron Dow ahcg disappears from Voluntown. He might fit an Aaron Dow of N Y City "out ward" of the 1790 census 3a, 3c, i e, with 2 sons of over 16 and 2 dau.

James Dow ahchfh, physician, d Longmont, Colo, Apr 3 1873; m Clarista Moore. Just prior to the Civil War he was a member of the faculty of William and Mary College. He made no concealment of his abolitionist views and a mob gave him 24 hours in which to leave. Realizing; that a live abolitionist was more useful than a dead one, he left for the west. He left a dau, possibly other children.

Aaron Dow ahchfi d College Springs, Iowa, Sept 4, 1864. Like his brothers, cousins and all of his family who went west, he was an outspoken free soiler and abolitionist and, like them, was always suspected of participating in the "underground railway" by which runaway slaves were aided into Canada.

Aaron inherited the strong religious tendencies of the ahc line. His ambition was to become a foreign missionary and toward this end he en­tered Oberlin College. By this time the family had started west. He was unable to graduate on account of ill health, but acquired a knowledge of Latin, Greek, some Hebrew, and mathematics through calculus, which enabled him to become a college president years later. After leaving college, he taught "subscription schools," these becoming the usual method of education in the west at the time. In southeast Iowa he m Feb 10, 1842, Amy Hampton, a Quaker whose parents were among the Quaker migrants from the east through Indiana to Kansas and Iowa, where many of the original monthly meetings ar0 still maintained.

Aaron readily gave up his membership in the Presbyterian church and joined the Society of Friends and the children by his 1st wife were brought up as strict Quakers. They located in a small village of Iowa very favorably situated in regard to a number of fine springs. He started a Quaker college and the name of the town was changed to College Springs. Aaron helped set out the extensions of the town and presided several years over the college. His wife d Jan 25, 1857, and Aaron m 2nd Apr 3, 1859, Mary J Wolf, returning at her request to the Presbyterian fold. Other men had taken over the college and Aaron staked out a homestead claim, farming for the rest of his life. In old days, once a Quaker, always a Quaker. About this time the custom began, especially in the middle west, of regarding the sect as merely a denomination of the evangelical churches and transferring memberships with freedom and as much frequency as desired.

The Hampton family Bible gives her m date as Mch 2, 1842. This is probably correct and Feb 10 would date the publication of the intention. Children:

Nathan Dow ahci is untraced; may be the Nathan of Voluntown 1790 census. He is in all probability the Nathan Dow enlisted Apr 18, 1760, ae 22, from Suffolk Co, NY, Capt Jacob Smith. In this company there enlisted 1758 a Joseph Dow of Huntington, LI, and he is identical with Joseph who enlisted again, ae 48, in the Revolution. A considerable family of Dow were in Huntington before this time, but they cannot possibly be of ahc line; either of c line or an entirely distinct family. Of a posterity for ahci we get no trace.

There is left unplaced a member of ahcb: Horatio Dow b Ashford Jan 30, 1793; began medical practice Vernon 1818; m Vernon Nov 15, 1821, Mary Skinner; went to Ellington 1832, to N Y 1848; soon came back, d Ellington Sept 28, 1859. No children in rec.

L ONG headed Thomas. Dow ah never let an opportunity to secure new land slip by; -so,. when he learned that bona fide settlers were wanted for the Volunteers' Land, east of Plainfield and

north of Voluntown, Conn, he sent at least three of his sons thither. There is some evidence that he went himself. At all events three sons arrived there in 1715 and took lots, there being 30 original lot holders. The new settlers applied at once for annexation to Plainfield but this was refused and the place annexed to Voluntown in 1719. The home­stead of Thomas was near the Plainfield line, so that all his rec are there.

Thomas Dow ahd became the Squire of Plainfield; d May 20, 1760, his will dated May 17, probated Oct 17, mentions wife Mary, which is the only rec we have of her. Thomas felt strongly, as no doubt did others, that his community should have a church and worked hard for one. It was accomplished in 1723 and Thomas was deputed to build it himself. A minister's tax was levied and a pastor called. Bu.t, the community was Presbyterian. Ebenezer Dow signed the Westminster confession of Faith, but Thomas and Ephraim refused. Nevertheless, Thomas went regularly to the church of his own handiwork. He was, of course, a farmer; every one was then. The early vital statistics of the place are wholly absent. They begin just in time to show that Thomas lost 5 children by a dysentery epidemic. For a century and a half it was the custom to build a well just by and below the cesspool. The children, except the 5 unfortunates, are arrived at from family rec:

a Jorun b probably about 1730; pethaps his father m later than usual in that early time

b Lydia b about 1732; m Jan 1, 1761, Ezra Whipple? c Hannah b about 1734; probably not the Hannah m Coventry Oct 22, 1778,

Samuel Babcock d Sarah b about 1736; m Canterbury June 3, 1762, Daniel Long Bottom? e Abigail b about 1738 f Samuel b about 1741: 1790 census gives a Samuel Dow 2a, lb, le, and this is

the only evidence at hand that he ever existed; identity, of course, a guess g Thomas b abou.t 1744; bap Apr 12, 1752; d Nov 1, 1754. It may be that a son

b after 1754 was also named Thomas. It is certain that some Thomas Dow shared the homestead of John Dow ahda, m a Miss Holmes of Salisbury, Mass, and d ae 44

h Daniel b, say, 1746; d Oct 1.5, 1754. The epidemic evidently took the young children

Jeremiah b about 1748; d Oct 15, 1754 j Mary b about 1750; d Nov 1, 1754

k Edward b about 1752; d (Ede) Nov 8, 1754 1 Olive hap Sept 25, 1748; probably din infancy

m Olive bap Apr 21, 1750

The order of children is somewhat arbitrary; possibly early rec from ahc or even ahg line have crept in. No other Dow family were of Plainfield. It is quite possible that ahd had two wives.

John Dow ahda succeeded his father as village Squire, living to great age, tilling the inhe;ited farm, having the full measure of yankee

The 1790 census gives John 4a, lb, 6c, indica­ting 9 children. Reliable family rec says there were but six. Perhaps the discrepancy,is from the inclusion of Thomas Dow. Children, apparently from a family Bible:

COVENTRY, Conn, has been the home of a very large number of Dows, all of whom originate from a large farm situated close to Coventry Pond. This family has been especially rich in men

of talent, even of genius, often coupled with impracticabilities. It has been strong in musicians, writers, preachers, marked men. Imperturba­bility has been a characteristic,-comparative indifference to the fluctua­tions of fortune, whereby one man was village squire, his son an inmate of the poorhouse without loss of interest in life or his own self-complacency. It has included many millionaires; its best known representative for many years seldom knew whence was to come his next meal. Its members who have been of mechanical turn of mind have been good inventors.

Ephraim Dow ahg was the financier of his family, went with his brothers to Voluntown, Conn, and established a home. He m Nov 8, 1726, Elizabeth Clark of Rowley b 1704, d Mch 26, 1790, dau of Rev Humphrey and Elizabeth. The death of his father required his presence in Ipswich, for he was executor and residuary legatee. In 1735 he got possession of some unexpected land,-the Narragansett grant to his late father, situated in Buxton, Me. Whatever it realized, it was part of the residuary estate, for all legacies to the other children had been met. It was almost 1740 before he was able to settle down, and he then bought the Coventry farm. Its price then was thrice as great as its present value, but it came at a time of depreciated currency. This did not worry Ephraim, whose assets were land, rather than cash. He lived about ten years to enjoy his new home, dying 1750. His estate (will probated Mch 12, 1750) inventories £3,.588-7-6.

Daniel C Dow ahgcj became estranged from the family on account of money matters. He moved away, married and had a family; untraced. Perhaps his older brother Jesse went to the same place.

Levi Dow ahgd, born, lived, died in Coventry, was an institution of the community, his wife Phoebe Taylor just as much an institution as he, in later years known for miles around as Uncle Levi and Aunt Phoebe. In many ways he was the typical Dow. He had his own way of doing things and that way was generally different from that of any one else. There had been many heirs to his father's property, his own inheritance small, little but his land. It took very long hours of very hard work to produce enough from it to pay taxes, feed a big family, clothe them, afford some protection to an unthrifty brother, and leave time to help a neighbor whose barn was being roofed or whose corn lay unshucked. No wonder that Aunt Phoebe sometimes peddled her own applesass through Coventry streets. Levi was a philosopher, mused as he worked, took his ups and downs as a matter of course, always with apt remark, always with helping hand. Mindful of the custom of regaling neighbors at huskings and other meetings, he provided for those who helped ex­tricate the body of his youngest son, drowned and caught under a log: "Now, boys, heave har_d for the cider." To their children they left a sterling pedigree :

DARTMOUTH College, Hanover, N H, founded by Rev Eleazer Wheelock as an Indian school, drew to its neighborhood many associates of the founder, who drove up the river from Conn and

took up land. Local history of many towns along the way mentions the original procession of ox teams and earnest pioneers. Before many years the Indians were no longer here, leaving the school to serve the whites and gradually develop into a college of countrywide service.

Among these early settlers were two Dows from Coventry, whose posterity were powerful for a century in Hanover life. They have long since disappeared, no Dow now in Hanover. Strange,-not a single Hanover Dow is an alumnus of Dartmouth.

Both were in full possession of their faculties until the day of their deaths, taking active interest in passing events. They came finally to Sycamore because their oldest son was located there.

She had been his pupil and then teacher in Dow Academy. They celebrated their golden wedding. When the first Congregational church of Sycamore was organized Theresa sang in the choir. On its 70th anniversary she and another charter member sang.

Roswell began teaching at 17 to get money to go through college. In 1843 he entered Norwich University, from which his youngest son graduated 52 years later. Contracting a chronic asthma, he was com­pelled to leave and started west for his health, staging to Troy, by canal to Buffalo, then by boat to Racine, Wis. In 1847 his parents joined him and he pre-empted 160 acres in Mayfield, Wis. By next year he was called to teach in Sycamore at the first graded school in De Kalb Co. A year later he began his own select (subscription) school, holding it in the court house, then moving to Temperance Hall. The next year h<:l built Dow Academy, and it was in the big study room that he was married. They lived several years at the Academy, which he finally gave up, his time needed in public life. In 1855 he opposed the re­enactment of the Missouri compromise on the ground that it would hasten the inevitable contest to end slavery. He was always charged, and probably rightly, with aiding the underground railroad. Of course, he was a charter member of the Republican party, altho he abandoned it in 1886 for the Prohibition party.

He was forced into politics. The tax assessor having failed utterly, he was nominated in 1852 and defeated; but his opponent refused to qualify and the selectmen appointed Mr Dow, taking no refusal. He was later re-elected and the basis of his assessments has been lasting ever since. He was then forced to reform the county finances and two re-elections were without opposition.

Having a desire to become a farmer, he took and cleared a tract of "cut over" land a mile north of the town. This was his home for the rest of his life. He was the war supervisor of the town. Children:

Lemuel Dowe ahgfd from a sickly childhood developed into a man of strength and unusual ability; went to school in Coventry to prepare for Dartmouth but health compelled him to abandon this. He nevertheless became a thoroughly educated man. In 1787 he bought 50 acres of wild land in Hanover, the clearing of which restored his physique. He taught school and singing school, practiced surveying, was 5 years selectman.

HUMPHREY Bean Dow ahgh either inherited or bought a small farm in Coventry, but depended on his trade of shoe making, tanning and currying his own leather. A shoemaker is apt to

be a philosopher and Humphrey surely was. From all accounts he was an amiable, highminded man, occupying through his attainments a higher position in Coventry than depended on the mere possession of money. He saw considerable service in the French and Indian war, a private in several hard battles. Upon discharge he returned home to Coventry. His son Lorenzo in his journal, Sept 25, 1815, notes: "I find that my father is entitled to some crown land,-but probably he will be cheated out of it." The fact is that Humphrey could have applied to the Provincial government for and received a land allotment, probably 640 acres, but he never did so, and when fifty years later, the matter was brought to his attention, the United States government had been set up and it would have required a special act of Congress to reward a veteran for British service.

Humphrey m Oct 8, 1767, Tabitha Parker, member of an original Coventry family, whose members are still prominent in the community, a good wife and mother, who lived to see all her six children grow up and marry. Lorenzo makes note of hearing of her death while he was in Ireland, Dec, 1804. Her gravestone, a marble slab, is beside that of her husband in the Nathan Hale cemetery of Coventry, a little difference in wording probably due to the fact that the inscriptions were many years apart:

"The ashes of Tabitha Parker, wife of Humphrey B Dow, are buried here"

"The dust of Humphrey B Dow is buried here."

Humphrey appears in the 1790 census, 2a, 2b, 5c, indicating some youth in his household, perhaps an overlooked son, more likely an apprentice, possibly a pupil. The cobbler had an intellect of high order, acquiring unaided an unusual education for the time, especially fond of Latin, which he was qualified to teach through college grades. His surplus income went wholly for books, his library finally being divided among his children. They all received an excellent education; all four daughters taught school before they were married. Lorenzo, the best known son, received the least education, but was a diligent reader in his

· boyhood. His old age may not have been lonely, for, altho his sons were far away, two daughters had homes in Coventry. Peggy Dow, Lorenzo's wife, devoted much time to him while Lorenzo was away on trips for many months at a time and was greatly endeared to him by her gentle

ONLY one school existed in the thriving old town of New London, Conn, prior to 1834. This was taught from 1801 by Ulysses Dow, a true scion of his ancestors, striking in originality and

force of character, who d New London Dec 2, 1844. A pamphlet pub­lished 1907 by Richard B Wall contains much anecdote of his career.

Ulysses Dow ahgha was brought up in Coventry, but after coming to New London seldom found time to revisit it. A few times Lorenzo visited the school, received with much ceremony. There were no grades in those days. In a single room sat as many as 300 pupils with only one teacher. They were of all ages, some learning the alphabet, others men who shipped before the mast in summer and learned higher navigation in winter. When Lorenzo approached the teacher's desk, he was met with the stern admonition: "Lorenzo, you will make obeisance to this school." This done, Ulysses stepped down, embraced his brother an<l said: "Welcome, Lorenzo." In taking his departure Lorenzo failed to recall the required etiquette. "Lorenzo, I demand that you make obeisance to this school." Lorenzo complied and went back to his ox carts. There were a few years of Lorenzo's material prosperity during which he was accustomed to do his marketing in Norwich, coming from Montville, apparently in state, never with less than two ox carts driven by a huge negro, who had come with him from the south. Only a partial reason for this seemingly useless display was Lorenzo's inability to walk far or easily, a weakness inducing him to adopt a close fitting leather vest. He was thus equipped when he came to visit his brother in New London.

Ulysses had every educational advantage not precluded by com­parative poverty. The library in his father's home was unusual and Coventry had unusual advantages in the presence of Rev Joseph Hunting­ton, an original trustee of Dartmouth college, who prepared many boys for college, among them Ulysses. The young man went to Dartmouth but did not graduate. Like many others, he went to stay as long as his finances permitted; all his money gone, he returned home. He then studied medicine with Dr Gardie Parker, his mother's brother, who stood high in the profession. While studying he taught school to support himself. In due time he was licensed to practice and from the point of view of medical ability succeeded well enough. Practically, however, he was a failure through supersensitiveness. The shock from the death of a patient endangered his own life, and if a patient failed to get well as soon as expected, the doctor took to his own bed until the case was relieved. His brother-in-law was asked to nominate a teacher for the New London free grammar school and Ulysses gladly accepted the position. The salary was nominally high,-$1,000 a year, he to find his own firewood.

THE BOOK OF DOW 503

Ulysses was thrice married,-lst June 26, 1788, to Anna Tilden of Coventry, who d with her infant child,)eaving him a widower at 22; 2nd to Ann Tappan, who lived but a short time; 3rd Phoebe Griswold became his wife and companion for 44 years, surviving him three. On his death she retired to a little farm in Salem which he had bought many years before from his brother Lorenzo, somewhat sterile and somewhat isolated. No children came to them, but they had an adopted dau Cynthia, who survived them. For more than 30 years he and his wife had a daily custom of exchanging notes during school hours. The duty of carrying was given to some boy as a sort of reward of merit. Mrs Dow met him at the head of the cellar stairs on which stood a stone crock containing doughnuts. In cold weather he was given a seat to warm himself beside the kitchen :fire. But woe to that boy who came not well washed or who misbehaved in Mrs Dow's kitchen.

Ulysses never departed from his dignity, never appeared without his high, white starched stock. His friend Elder Swan was different, mounting his pulpit in summer, taking off hat, coat, stock and tie, before running his :fingers through his hair and launching upon either prayer or sermon. True, the school room was not swept once a year. The noise of small boy's creaking shoes was annoying and the thick layer of old paper, discarded goose quills and other waste material tended to deaden the sound. He gave a prize to that boy who appeared barefoot :first in the spring. "Creaking tanbark" was his own expression. Ulysses never used tobacco; when some youth from the shipyards came with quid in mouth, observant Ulysses soon made him roll the quid in wood ashes until the lye gave him a sore tongue for the rest of the day. There was a sort of school committee in New London, but they were all elderly men, friends of Dr Dow, who never interfered in any way with the school government. The salary was not big enough to leave him anything but poor in his old age, penniless at 76. He lived well, bought many books, subscribed to any public charity. But, the bulk of the money, after the :firewood was provided, went to those "little Jimmy boys" at school whose winter shoes were mostly holes or whose other wants were pressing. He ran a steady and large account with a nearby cobbler. In forty years fully 5,000 boys must have eaten Mrs Dow's doughnuts, been cobbled at the doctor's expense, or otherwise fathered. No matter how severe, the good boys loved the stiff old doctor. The best boy was allowed to come to the house and get the school key. Three or more were permitted to ring the bell, :fifteen minutes before each session sufficing for any part of the town. If the ringing was not three sharp strokes at a time, the doctor would angrily demand: "Who boggles the bell?" Upstairs in the attic a drill master came at intervals to exercise the boys with wooden guns, otherwise there was only one teacher. Classes were so large that all read aloud in unison to save time. A majority were in :first or second reader stage. Older ones, who had been to sea since childhood, might

be struggling with the alphabet. On the other hand, there was a class in Latin and the doctor, if called upon, would teach Greek, Hebrew or calculus. One course of study was taken by all with as much diligence as the daily Bible reading. This was boxing the compass. Astronomy and navigation were always in demand. The greatest career New London offered was to be captain of one's own ship.

The doctor had nicknames for most of the boys and a large vocab­ulary of invented terms. All winter long some boy looked anxiously into the stove at the question,-"doth it hoozle?" If it burned well without smoke, it hoozled. One of the boys was Findoodle, whose fondness for truancy made occasional trouble. A delegation in search · of the wayward once called at his mother's house and addressed the lady as Mrs Findoodle, she being adept with the broom as a weapon. Truant boys were generally to be found by the shipyards and thither repaired the monitor boys armed with cord and a huge basket. The truant was tied in the basket and carried back to school. About 1834 a rival school was opened by a Dr Bull. His boys were at once known as Bullfrogs, the others as Dowhogs. A Saturday battle was the regular thing. Against the bullfrogs' wooden guns, Dr Dow armed his boys with brooms and charged them to "spud them well."

No reports to parents were made, no marks recorded. That boy who seemed to do best was given his choice of seat, naturally near the stove in winter and the window in summer. The methods of punishment were many and no one believed in spoiling a child by sparing a rod. The doctor was slender, 5 feet, 10, but he was strong and needed his strength. There were pupils as big as he and stronger. On one occasion a big fellow defied him and to prevent his removal to the seat of punishment locked his leg around the leg of his chair. He was yanked out but was lamed for life, a circumstance which the doctor mourned deeply. He had many a fight, but the big boy in the end was invariably thrown on his back and forced to turn over in the proper attitude for "spanchazling." This was performed with a large flat ruler. The hole in the chimney was reserved for major offences. The culprit had to crawl into it, only his head sticking out. If unrepentant, he might get a pitcher of water down the back of his neck. The gibbet, the stocks and the place for toeing the mark were mild, altho in the stocks one leg protruded above the bar, the other below. Boys who stuck pins through flies were struck on the nose with a goose quill.

After thirty odd years of this system, New London elected a school board of political appointees. Then began the doctor's troubles, for he was not a whig nor a democrat or any other partisan. He did not vote at all until 1840, when there was a tie in the mayoralty election and he was persuaded to break it and put into office a lifelong friend. In religion he also found troubles, steadfastly refusing to be Baptist, Con­gregationalist, Methodist or Presbyterian, avoiding consecutive atten-

dance at any church, altho personal friendship might lead him to Elder Swan. When the Universalists organized, no one would sell them a site at any price. Doctor Dow let them have a building lot at the low price it had cost him years before. This heresy made him enemies in all the other denominations. In 1837 the democrats carried the city and Dr Dow's was the first head for political decapitation. He was removed and a new teacher, more up-to-date, appointed. Ulysses accepted the situation, rented quarters.for a private school. This drew all the scholars, in spite of its cost, so after two years the new teacher was dismissed and Dr Dow reinstated. His years, however, had begun to tell upon him. Things became not wholly satisfactory. People began to whisper that he was not altogether right in his head. It was even rumored that he had spat on a boy in the stocks. Only the pupils seemed satisfied, they had no complaint. Early in 1844 the school board was able to dismiss him, a tie broken by the absence of a member who would accept a resig­nation but not vote for a dismissal. 'nhe committee called and broke the news. Dr Dow, then 76, showed great inward emotion but merely said: "I presume I shall have to abide by your decision, gentlemen."

It was then found that in forty years he had not saved a cent. His unsalable farm, several hundred books and the little necessary furniture were his only assets. Quickly his former pupils rallied to his support with house rent and money as needed. By this time he had taken to his bed, his illness lasting several months. But, to the cemetery, one bleak December day, followed more men than ever before had attended a funeral in New London.

TO the genealogist the facts of life are three, birth, marriage, death, all between merely incidental. To the historian, the student of heredity the three facts are as nothing, the incidental betweens

constituting the whole,-all the story of self advancement or debasement, of altruistic endeavor or its absence. Altruistic endeavor is the only thing which can delay the final engulfment into the River of Oblivion. Of all the men who bear the name of Dow three stand out as by far the most widely known:-Capt Henry Dow ab, Marshal of New Hampshire, Neal Dow adhccbb, legislator, and Lorenzo Dow, crazy preacher. Two of these experienced great material prosperity, altho such was not their first aim. To Lorenzo Dow, except for the few years before his death, came nothing but his own altruism. He lacked almost through life most of the ordinary human comforts, including health, sufficient clothing, sufficient food. For a hundred years any Dow traveling through the south has found his own name the best "open sesame" he could carry. From Virginia to Arkansas the first question has been: "Are you related to Lorenzo Dow?" During the year when LaFayette toured this country Lorenzo was preaching in Ohio. The census shows a close race in the naming of children,-La Fayette and Lorenzo not far apart, George Washington and Andrew Jackson well behind. LaFayette was in vogue only a year or two. Lorenzo's namesakes are still appearing. A few years ago an attorney had to go on a land title errand to a place in the Ozark region of Missouri, and found there, many miles from a railroad, the most primitive people he had ever encountered. The justice of the peace and judge of probate, registrar of deeds were one,-Lorenzo Dow Haskins, towering far above 6 feet, barefooted, with bearskin cap, rags for coat and trousers, dispensing justice with dignity and spotless integrity, interpreting the law to the best of his lights. In the community were many named Lorenzo Dow 4th or 3rd. On inquiry it was found that these mountaineers were descendants of a colony which had come about 1830 from eastern Tennessee, where Lorenzo had occasionally preached. Throughout the south memory is kept alive of Lorenzo's customary farewell announcement: "Brethren, by the grace of God I shall be with you to preach again this day, four years." He might say two or five years, but he never failed to appear on the day and hour.

It goes almost without saying, then, that this man who seemed to have no other thought for fifty years than of his religion and its promul­gation should be carefully weighed in the scales of criticism without prejudice against or favorable predisposition. Altho iµuch of the anecdote of his later life is apocryphal, the essential facts are provable and there is ample material in his own daily journal which he kept for over thirty years.

THE BOOK OF DOW 507

Lorenzo was an itinerant preacher never wholly in favor with the church authorities, seldom, if ever, accredited to any organization and never with salary or allowances. His only support was the gifts of his hearers. His method of preaching was his own, abounding in gesticu­lation, in picturesque phraseology, emphasis and abruptness. His abruptness often brought trouble. He might at any time point his finger at some young woman whom he had never seen five seconds previously, about whom he knew nothing, and tell · her without pre­liminary that she was surely going to Hell, that eternal fire was her lot. This often made a hysterical victim and Lorenzo was often thrashed under similar circumstances by some angry brother or father. The ,spontaneousness of his speech, the squalor of his person, absence of what are generally termed good manners, fastened attention upon him wherever he went. His preaching was as free as he could make it. He seldom allowed a collection to be taken, as the devil was always lurking near to induce some enemy to charge Lorenzo with being mercenary.

The history of the first five years of his ministry is well summed up in a single paragraph of his own journal: "But now arose a difficulty from another quarter: I had lost my great coat on the road whilst traveling, and my coat was so worn out that I was forced to borrow one; my shoes were unfit for further service, and I had not a farthing of money to help myself with, and no particular friends to look to for assistance. Thus one day whilst I was riding along, facing a hard, cold, northeast storm, very much chilled, I came to a wood, and alighting from my horse and falling upon my knees on the wet grass, I lifted up my voice and wept, and besought God either to release me from traveling and preaching, or else to raise me up friends. My soul was refreshed, my confidence was strengthened, and I did believe that God would do one or the other, and true it was, people, a few days after this, of their own accord, supplied all my necessities, and gave me a few shillings to bear my expenses."

It is not easy to comprehend the intensity of religious feeling which almost amounts to mania. From his fourth year Lorenzo's thought and dreams were of heaven, hell, damnation, salvation, prayer, free will, elec­tion, calling, predestination, and many other points of doctrinal difference. At the age of 12 he dreamed of a man calling him to preach. Long after­wards he saw for the first time a picture of John Wesley and at once be­came certain that he was the man of his dream. A revivalist held the village of Coventry by the ears. For some reason, not clear even to himself, Lorenzo could not bring himself to the mercy seat. Confident that, steeped in unpardonable sin, he would die and be in hell that very night, he spent his hours in alternate prayer and shrieks. His cousin had a like experience; he wrestled with himself in his garden "and his shrieks could be heard for upward of a mile; but in the evening he found peace."

By the age of 12 he developed a chronic asthma which discomforted

508 THE BOOK OF DOW

him always, often preventing his lying down at night. His illnesses were frequent and a stomach trouble engendered by unintelligent eating never left him. Very often he had to abandon a sermon because of fainting or nausea.

Lorenzo's journal covers his life to the end of 1816 and is an auto­biography of such completeness as he wished. By a little reading between the lines it becomes a basis for character estimate than which there can be no better. Jan 7, 1796, is the date of the beginning of his ministry, for then he received orders from the circuit preacher to join the brethren at Tolland. After one week of constant traveling and preaching, Nicholas Snethen, head of the Methodist organization in Connecticut, spoke to him frankly:

"You are but 18 years of age; you are too important, and you must • be more humble and hear, and not be heard so much; keep your own station, for by the time you arrive at the age of 21 years, you will see wherein you have missed it; you had better, as my advice, learn some easy trade, and be still for two or three years yet; for your bodily health will not admit of your becoming a traveling preacher at present; although considering your advantages, your gifts are better than mine were when I first set out to preach, but it is my opinion that you will not be received at our next conference."

The next day C Spry, circuit preacher, spoke a little more delicately: "There are many scruples in my mind with regard to your traveling, as many think your health and behavior not adequate to it."

There does not seem to be anything in these warnings that could be regarded as persecution or improper self-interest, yet Lorenzo felt a life­long resentment against both, although he had fainted more than once during a sermon that week and was ill most of the time. He rejected their counsel and traveled through Rhode Island. His experience with the Methodists of that State was precisely similar. At the end of three months Elder Jesse Lee wrote to the Methodists of Coventry: "In several places Lorenzo Dow was liked by a great many people; at other places he was not liked so well, and at a few places they were not willing he should preach at all; we have therefore thought it necessary to advise him to return home for a season, until a further recommendation can be obtained from the Society and preachers of that circuit."

Upon receipt of this, kind-hearted C Spry, circuit preacher, gave to the broken hearted Lorenzo what the latter describes as a written license and orders to come to the quarterly meeting in Enfield. Somehow his plan failed, for at Hanover, N H, he met Elder Lee of Rhode Island, who had dismissed him and who questioned his present authority. At the quarterly meeting he was examined and rejected. He joined a preacher on the Orange circuit and preached as often as possible. The following June he met in Vershire, Vt, N Snethen, who practically forbade his preaching, and Elder Lee did the same at the next quarterly meeting.

THE BOOK OF DOW 509

Lorenzo declared that it was not the right of any man to stop his preaching for that was between God and his own soul, and it only belonged to Methodists to say whether he should preach in their connection. After this he returned home for a short while, having traveled constantly and over 8,000 miles.

In an appendix to Lorenzo's journal appears a letter from Rev N Snethen to the Irish Methodists in 1805. We doubt its genuineness; possibly it was handed to Lorenzo, whose use of it may be as unjustified as was the writing of it. Mr Snethen writes that Mr Lorenzo Dow had again embarked for Europe, "better furnished perhaps for success than when he was with you last. His confidence of success must at least be very considerably increased having succeeded so well in deceiving or duping so many of the preachers in the American connexion. I hope that our brethren in Europe will resolve to have nothing to do with him,-the lines of distinetion should always be kept very clear between the Methodist preacher and his ape. I am sorry, my dear friend, that we can give you no better specimen of the fruits of Methodism in this country. Alas! Alas! Shame! Shame! It shall be published in the streets of London and Dublin that Methodist preachers in America have so departed from Wesley, and their discipline, as to countenance and bid God speed to such a man as Mr Dow, the last person in the world who should have been suffered to trample Methodism under foot with impunity or counte­nance. His manners have been clownish in the extreme; his habit and appearance more filthy than a savage Indian; his public discourses a mere rhapsody, the substance often an insult upon the gospel; but all the insults he has offered to decency, cleanliness and good breeding; all the impious trifling in the holy ministry; all the contempt he has poured u'pon the sacred scriptures, by refusing to open them, and frequently choosing the most vulgar saying as a motto to his discourses, in preference to the word of God-all this is as nothing in comparison. He has affected a recognizance of the secrets of men's hearts and lives, and even assumed the awful prerogative of prescience, and this not occasionally, but as it were habitually, to pretend to foretell, in a great number of instances, the deaths or calamities of persons, etc. I have confidence that---disciples of the great Wesley will make a stand against this shameless intruder, this most daring imposter."

This document does not look genuine. It terms Lorenzo as a specimen of the fruits of Methodism; then disavows it. It would have been perfectly simple and straightforward to have written as presiding elder to the official Methodist bodies of the United Kingdom stating that Lorenzo Dow had no connection with Methodism. At all events, genuine or not, it is clear that Lorenzo was an irregular, unaccredited preacher. He had by this time traveled for years through New England, New York and Quebec, preaching, exhorting, generally in a barn or a school house, as churches were seldom open to him. At

510 THE BOOK OF DOW

Williston, Vt, his uncle (*) and family came out to hear him but "behaved very rudely" and strove to persuade him to leave the town. In Orwell, Can, he met his uncle, Daniel Rust (t), formerly of Coventry. At Danby, Can, he became ill; a Quaker by the name of Dow (t) who by accident heard him preach, came to see him and brought a quart of wine, a pint of brandy, a pound of raisins, and half a pound of loaf sugar. Another man walked fifteen miles to give him a dollar. He mentions meeting in Hanover, N H, his two sisters and brother-in-law, Joseph Bridgman.

Oct 16, 1799, his 22nd birthday, saw him in Montreal; a ship captain told him he was about to embark for Dublin, and Lorenzo at once resolved to go.

"What shall you charge?" "Sometimes people give fifteen guineas, but I will carry one for

eight." "I'll give you five guineas and find myself." "I will; but you are a devilish fool for going from a plentiful country

with peace to that disturbed island." So Lorenzo gave him five guineas and bought some provisions, and

had a few shillings left. Nov 27, he landed at Larne, north of Ireland, and reached Dublin Dec 15. He managed to travel throughout the island with experiences not unlike his American ones, occasionally raising firm friends, sometimes running afoul with the authorities and generally at odds with the church officials of all denominations. In August he contracted smallpox, coming near death and being heavily marked for the rest of his life. His trip ended as usual, he penniless with no clear course. Some Dublin Quakers (§) gave him passage money and he sailed for America Apr 2, 1800. A Dublin physician had given him a quantity of books to sell and buy a horse with the proceeds. He kept the books and went afoot. Arriving in New York he sold the books for £115 to a dealer who took advantage of his ignorance of values, and sent all the money to the donor.

Returning to Connecticut, he sought at once to attach himself to some Methodist circuit, but his proposed colleagues generally objected strenuously on the ground that "Crazy Dow"would break up the meetings. So he toured the various circuits independently. His nickname of Crazy Dow went ahead of him and tended to draw crowds. Some of the meetings were "large and tender," others much less so. Occasional gifts of money apparently sufficed for his needs. At New Hartford he hired a ball room for $1.50, that being the only available meeting place.

*Lemuel Dow ahgf tDaniel Rust m his mother's sister tThis Quaker, member of adb, adf or adh, has never been identified. Lorenzo was unaware of any relationship, however remote. His own impression was that he descended from three brothers who came direct.from England to Connecticut. §It may be noted that the Quakers more than all others throughout his career helped frlm out of trouble.

THE BOOK OF DOW 511

Oct, 1800, he decided upon more travel, considering either Bermuda or Georgia. He spent four days with his parents and started out, leaving horse behind. The ship captain for Bermuda refused to let him embark on account of his religious persuasion, but the captain bound for Savannah reduced his fare 20 per cent for the same reason. His finances were fairly satisfactory to himself for, altho he had only $1.50, there was $18 owing to him in Connecticut. His trip lasted only four months, but he travelled through most of Georgia. The next season was spent in travel as far as the Maine border. On return he crossed the Hudson, thence to Philadelphia. Here he was disowned by the Methodist connection and found it almost impossible to preach, so he proceeded to Wilmington, Del. At Baltimore some one gave him $3 and at Culpepper a gift was $1.50. He always noted with care such gifts in his journal. At Stetsville he sold his watch for $8.50 and a supper, which was quite satisfactory, since it had cost only $19 the month before. The buyer, however, persuaded the community that Lorenzo was a horse thief.

At a camp meeting in Georgia upward of $100 was given to him, and the Governor gave him a pass through the Indian reservations. The money did not last long. He sold his lame horse on credit,-which means he never got anything for it, and bought another for $150. The second beast was such that Lorenzo rather bitterly remarks that the seller was a Methodist so-called. A half breed Indian mulcted him for $1.50 for a night's lodging, and he finally arrived at Natchez, an 800-mile trip, without a cent in his pocket. He refused to accept a collection, but took corn for his horse. Six towns distant he sold his saddle cloth for more corn. In seven months he traveled 4,000 miles. His horse fetched almost nothing. He got back to Georgia barefoot, coatless and without a seat to his trousers. It is true, however, that he had rejected many offers of money, wherewith he could have reclothed himself. As he says: "It was with seriousness and consideration that I took these journeys, from conviction of duty, that God required it at my hands. And knowing that impostors are fond of money, I was convinced that Satan would not be found wanting, to whisper in the minds of the people that my motives were sinister or impure."

In the last paragraph camp meeting is mentioned for the first time. Lorenzo was the originator of this idea. It arose from the difficulty or impossibility of getting a church in which to hold a meeting. In pleasant weather some grove was chosen, for thereby his hearers were saved the cost of a room or the inconvenience of a barn offered freely. If the service was successful, the preacher and hearers preferred to have it last two or more days. The first camp meeting on record was held by Lorenzo at Bolton, Mass. A huge glacial boulder, from the top of which he probably preached, is still known as Dow's rock. Throughout the south, camp meetings became the usual form of religious gathering and were often

512 THE BOOK OF DOW

planned to last a week. The Methodists (who rejected Lorenzo) were the ones above all others to adopt this form of meeting.

It is also mentioned here that Lorenzo reached Natchez, Miss. At the time there was not a single church in the whole State. In later years Lorenzo and his wife gave land for the first church in the State. It is where Jefferson College now stands, and the deed, signed by Lorenzo and Peggy Dow, is preserved in the archives of that institution. In the Government compilation of land grants is an entry that Lorenzo Dow claimed July 1, 1778, 600 acres in Bear Creek, Miss, originally granted to Joseph Jackson. There is no other Lorenzo Dow. The date must be that of the original grant, and Lorenzo's claim, the grounds for which are not stated, must have been after 1805.

At Petersburg, Va, Maj John Oliver gave him vest, pantaloons, umbrella, stockings, handkerchief, watch, etc. Others gave him shoes, a coat, cloak, and a few shillings. Thus he was equipped for a new tour,-the- Carolinas, and Tennessee. This was a great success, a series of camp meetings. A daughter of a President of the United States came out to hear him preach and the Governor of South Carolina gave him a certificate of recommendation with the State seal attached. His very name drew thousands anxious for a sight of him. He was at peace with the local Methodist connections and as much so with the whole body as he ever could be. Here Elder Jesse Lee of Rhode Island greeted him. As for Elder Nicholas Snethen,-"God had knocked him down at a camp meeting, and gave him such a baptism as he never felt before."

Next season Lorenzo started for Boston but, wishing some printing done, sold his horse to pay for it. This made his progress much slower. By this time he had resolved to publish his journal. How to pay for it he did not know. The unprinted book, however, was a delightful perpetual asset. He gave away many thousand copies, to be delivered when published, as endowments to chapels and the like. When back to New York, planning anew 6,000-mile journey, he had not a cent in his pocket but found an interested printer. The latter would proceed on $100 down and a bond for the rest, willing to put up his own money for the actual cost. Either money or bond could not be obtained. As a matter of fact, the first edition of the journal was printed in Ireland, less than half its subsequent length. The Author has never found a copy of this edition. The American editions are over 100 and by 1860 the book had circulated second only to the Bible. Clean copies are often found in second hand book shops at 50 cents.

At Danbury, Conn, he got enough money to release his watch from pawn. He started on foot for New York State but fell in with some Quakers who drove him by carriage as far as Litchfield. Here he prepared for a long walk, but at the last moment a man brought up a good horse to be his on unlimited credit. Lorenzo felt badly because he was unable to pay in full until nearly four months had passed.

THE BOOK OF DOW 518

In "\,Vestern, N Y, Lorenzo encountered Smith Miller, an inn keeper, who came to arrange for a service in that town, and accepted an invitation to his house. Miller's wife was an orphan and had taken a young sister to live with her. The first evening not a word passed between Lorenzo and the young girl. Next morning he asked Miller "if he would object if he should talk to his daughter concerning matrimony." The reply was that if the girl had any regard for her foster father she would not marry so as to leave his house. Thereupon, Lorenzo walked straight into the house and asked Peggy: "Do you think you could accept such an object as me?" Peggy left the room without a word. Subsequently her people advised her against the marriage on the ground that Lorenzo would probably fail to survive his already planned trip to Mississippi. Lorenzo took that trip and planned another to Ireland, but on second thought that letters from Ireland might be intercepted, and cause gossip, pressed for the marriage, and it was performed Sept 3, 1804, by the first preacher who came along. No couple was ever more devoted. If one's wife is the best judge of a man's inmost self, there can be nothing but praise for Lorenzo. All her life Peggy was constantly impressed by his tenderness and she felt for him the highest admiration. Another trip to North Carolina was taken, followed by a tour of New England. Dec. 1815, saw him once again in Dublin, with his wife. Peggy had been left behind on many trips, but this time Lorenzo contrasts his two Irish experiences, the first alone and discredited, now "with wife and daughter, and the way opening before me."

The journal is very brief after 1806. Only a few of his many trips are mentioned with detail. June 9, 1813, "leaving Peggy in Buckingham Co, Va, where she was confined with --," Lorenzo went on to preach in North Carolina. The last entry in the journal which bears a date is Mch 22, 1816. Lorenzo had returned from the Bahamas and found Peggy the happy guest of his father in Coventry. Lorenzo was then approaching forty and spoke of a probable early death. As we know, however, eighteen more years were given to him for constant traveling, constant preaching in almost every State of the Union.

The journal of Peggy Dow is included in all late editions of Lorenzo's; it covers also to 1816; its narrative more simple, sweeter in tone, none of the complaints about business unfairness of men, of being cheated and persecuted, which became common in Lorenzo's later narratives. She mentions her birth in Granville, Mass, 1780, of Presbyterian parents, but does not mention their names. Her mother died when she was six; her father married again six months later, but became very poor. So, when her sister, nine years her senior, married, Peggy went to the new home. Here her chief delight "was in going to meeting and praising and singing praises to my God and Savior."

514 THE BOOK OF DOW

Her courtship is described with simplicity: "My brother-in-law invited Lorenzo Dow, then on his way to Canada, to preach at our meeting house, and sent on the appointment a day or two beforehand, so that the people might get notice. As he was a singular character, we were very anxious to see and hear him. The day arrived, and the house was crowded; and we had such a good time! I was very much afraid of him, as I had heard such strange things about him!

"He was invited to my brother-in-law's1 but did not come for several days. He had appointments to preach twice and thrice in a day. How­ever, at last he came, and tarried all night. The next morning he was to preach five or six miles from our house; and little did I think that he had any thought of marrying, in particular that he should make any proposition of the kind to me; but so it was; he returned that day to dinner, and in conversation with my sister, concerning me, he inquired of her how long I had professed religion. She told him the length of time. He requested to know whether I kept company? She told him I did not; and observed that I had often said, 'I had rather marry a Preacher than any other man, provided I was worthy; and that I would wish him to travel and be useful to souls.' By this time I had happened to come into the room, and he asked me if I had made such a remark. I told him I had. He then asked me if I would accept of such an object as him. I made no reply, but went directly out of the room-as it was the first time he had spoken to me, I was very much surprised. He gave me to under­stand that he should return to our house again in a few days, and would have more conversation with me on the subject. Next day he told me he would marry provided that he could find some one that would consent to his traveling and preaching the gospel; and if I thought I could be willing to marry him, and give him up to go, and do his duty, and not see him or have his company more than one month out of thirteen, he should feel free to give his hand to me. Although I felt myself inadequate to the task, without the Grace of God to support me! Yet, I felt willing to cast my lot with his, and be a help, and not a hindrance to him, if the Lord would give me grace, as I had no doubt but He would, if I stood as I ought---and I accepted of his proposal. My Lorenzo was gone about seven months before he returned to me."

Several years later she writes: "They carried my sweet little Letitia, and consigned her to the tomb, there to rest until the last trump shall sound, and the body and spirit be re-united again; and then we shall see how glorious is immortality. I wrote to Lorenzo the day that our child died; but he did not get it.''(*)

Peggy Dow was never compelled to be alone twelve months of the thirteen. She made many long tours with him and became almost as well known through the south. Hers was a quiet simplicity, her universe

*Lorenzo was making a third tour of Ireland at this time.

THE BOOK OF DOW 515

divided into four parts, her God, her Lorenzo, her child and her neighbor. Lorenzo was mobbed many times by those who disagreed or resented his ways; he was imprisoned and fined for slander, was often treated with great severity as a vagrant, was robbed and assaulted; but Peggy was invariably treated with the utmost respect by all and with love by those who knew her.

Her death notice: Peggy, wife of Lorenzo Dow, near Hebron, Conn, Apr 4, 1822.

The manner of the second marriage of Lorenzo Dow was thus: At the conclusion of a sermon he asked in a matter-of-fact tone: "Is there any woman in this audience who would like to marry Lorenzo Dow? If so, will she kindly stand? One woman arose, approaching middle age and in rusty black. She was the daughter of a local farmer. Lorenzo gave her a short examination wholly in reference to her "Godliness," then demanded that they be married on the spot. It was with the utmost difficulty that his friends prevailed upon him to wait until the following day. The marriage on the whole turned out quite successfully. The bride inherited a piece of farm land, hardly sufficient to afford a living, but always a home with reasonable comfort. She outlived her husband many years, well maintained by the royalties accruing from the journal.

Lorenzo himself got in later years enough from the sales of the journal to keep himself in comparative luxury. That he made many enemies there can be no doubt, that he was not able to keep on good terms with his neighbors, that he always saw a wrong done to him but was less charitable about wrongs he himself did. After his second marriage, al tho he was traveling much, he often stayed home months at a time. He dammed a small stream on the farm, intending to build a mill, but was sued by those below him on the stream, whose water he had !mpounded. Judgment being given against him, he tore down the dam to give them a flood, all the water to which they were entitled and much more than they liked. Thus he was liable for damages again. His ostentatious way of living was criticized, being in remarkable contrast to his half starved earlier life. No doubt, the huge negro who was his constant body servant after 1816 was virtually if not legally a free man, but his enemies called him a slave holder. He traveled in state at home with two or more ox carts, a luxury laughed at as much as criticized. He became anxious to acquire property, land in Mississippi or the grant which might have come to his father for military service.

From his journal he omitted most that was disagreeable to him. For example he passed over his ministry in Claremont, N H, as unfruitful owing "to the opposition of the better classes." He found in Claremont a Methodist colony already inclined to revert to the older Congregation­alism. Under the intensity of his vituperation they all "backslid" and at last a crowd of his angry parishioners escorted him to the town line.

516. THE BOOK OF DOW

Here Lorenzo with much ceremony took off his shoes, shook the dust of the town from his feet, and went on never to return. In 1822 he was preaching in Maine. In one town a congregation gathered taxing the standing room of the place. Lorenzo offered the customary prayer and preached a long sermon. At its conclusion he gave out a long hymn. While it was being sung, he jumped out of the window, mounted his horse and was out of sight before many knew what had happened. He delighted more and more as time went on in abrupt lack of good manners.

In his talk of his own persecutions there is much that suggests self delusion. Some of this in his own language: "When Cosmopolite (thus he always termed himself after he had become traveled) was on his last tour through-(Ireland) orders were sent from the "Castle," somewhere, by somebody, that he must be taken into custody; which body returning, replied for answer that Cosmopolite could not be found ( Cosmopolite was on the chase seventeen hundred miles in sixty-seven days and held two hundred meetings-such being the distance from the people, without intimacy-and the velocity of the journey, that they scarcely knew from whence he came or where he was gone?)-this, more then once or twice. Moreover the Threshers pursued him two nights and one day for a noted heretic; but he unwittingly escaped from them likewise. The martial law was now proclaimed in four counties, which made it dangerous travelling without a pass; but Cosmopolite was providentially kept in peace."

On board ship: "Cosmopolite was accused with 'hush money' clandestinely, by some who were on board-on getting wind of it he had the agreement stated, and then produced the receipt of the full amount, which answered to the articles. Then he was accused of having received a present of ten pounds from the Captain, which they said should have been divided among the passengers--Cosmopolite said why? Was there any such agreement? They acknowledged not. Nevertheless ungenerously did some persist to make the impression that Cosmopolite was a swindler."

Whilst in Europe Cosmopolite was attacked with spasms of a most extraordinary kind, whi.ch baffled the skill of the most celebrated of the faculty, and reduced his nervous strength, and shook his constitution to the center, more than all his labors and exposures heretofore, which had been from seven to ten thousand miles a year and attending meeting from six to seven hundred times; but now his sun appeared declining, and his career drawing to a close. But the idea of yielding and giving up the itinerant sphere was trying to Cosmopolite, seeing that it was his element and paradise to travel and preach the gospel. Hence he got a stiff leather jacket girted with buckles to serve as stays, to support the tottering frame, to enable him to ride on horseback, to which the doctors remonstrated against; when they would answer no further, he took the gig and a little wagon, but was obliged to sit or lie down some part of the meeting to be able to finish his discourse, mostly for seven years."

THE BOOK OF DOW 517

Almost invariably he considered himself (and probably often was) cheated in buying a horse. "Cosmopolite bought a pair of mules, which were to. have been fitted to the carriage against his return; but in lieu thereof, were put to a wagon and so broke down they were unfit for service; and hence he had to part with them for about half value, to be able to prosecute his journey; and the horse he had was shortly starved so as to fail, and he was obliged to part with him for one of little worth."

A criminal proceeding against him for slander resulted in a nominal imprisonment and a substantial fine. About this he wrote a volume of protest and self-justification, but the impression it leaves is unpleasant. He had slandered a man most grossly in print, in a way which, if un­rebuked, would be the man's ruin. It is evident that he took some idle hearsay without any knowledge on his own part. In fact, his attitude was almost throughout that he could do no wrong and his was a happy irresponsibility. He had a long series of law suits, all of which went against, as justice could go no other way. Most of these were as endorser of some one's note, and he never had any assets on which to levy. "Reputation attacked on all sides, and in remote parts through the States, that he was revelling in riches and luxury, with a fine brick house, sugar and cotton plantations, flour and saw mills, slaves, and money in the banks, etc, like a nabob in the east. Whilst others made use of everything they could that would be to his discredit, among which, some few who had subscribed for his journals and paid in advance, but not getting their books, no allowance was made for the books being lost, but all was construed, "a design to cheat, and has got the property, and gone to the Mississippi to feather his nest."

Almost all the editions of the journal contain portraits of both Lorenzo and Peggy. So far as the Author has been able to ascertain, there are but three original pictures of himself and only one of Peggy. These have been re-drawn many times, and indifferently. An oil painting of him was made in South Carolina, but the local artist was so carried away with admiration for Lorenzo's character, that he did not attempt to make a single feature true to life, merely adapted the conventional idea of the likeness of the Christ. A drawing made when he was about 25 to 30, is idealized beyond recognition. At 28 he was described in an application for a passport as about 5 feet, 10 inches, heavily pockmarked, with pale blue eyes, brown hair, darker eyebrows, with a, scrophulous mark under his chin. At 50 a drawing was made, the only one worthy of consideration. He had then changed as age and health dictated, slender nose with sunken bridge, pockmarks very distinct, a long beard which had no acquaintance with a comb, matted hair hanging on· his shoulders. Tradition states with unmistakable emphasis that he disliked to waste the time to wash himself. If given a new suit of clothes, he either gave

it away to someone less fortunate than himself or reduced it to rags in a few weeks.

Peggy's portrait varies only with the skill or lack of it of the en­graver. While heavy featured and not beautiful, it suggests charm from freedom from affectation and simplicity of manner.

Tabitha Dow ahghf m Samuel French b Hoosick, Mass, came to Hardwick, Vt, about 1800; d 1848, ae 69. He was very active in town affairs and an energetic orator. There was no church in town when he arrived, so he set apart the most accessible corner of his farm and built one, a substantial affair designed to last, at his own expense and mostly with his own hands. He himself refused to have anything to do with any denomination or organization. His church was to be free to all, and pulpit open to any applicant. All his neighbors were Congregation­alists and had the church to themselves about fifty-one weeks per year, but if an itinerant preacher came along Samuel gravely told the usual incumb.ent that he must wait until Monday or next week. The people tried to buy his church but he held it as long as he lived.

Calvin Dow ahgi never married but lived at home until his mother died. She gave him what pocket money she could and perhaps babied him a little more than his best interests called for. His mother was greatly devoted to casting her own horoscope, and in this Calvin could help. The horoscope always predicted her death at some early date. Each time the day came and passed finding her alive, she seemed neither pleased nor disappointed. She began at once to cast a new horoscope. Calvin was a amiable youth who never did any harm, any good or any work, if he could avoid it. When at last his mother died and his brother­Levi insisted he should work, Calvin drifted with genteel indifference into the poor house, living until about 80. For a long while he seemed quite contented, but at last grew rather bitter against Levi, who had, he considered, deprived him of his inheritance. However, the almshouse fare was better than Levi had, and Levi was working fourteen hours a day. Calvin d Feb 25, 1834.

F INALLY the line of Henry Dow, immigrant, through his youngest son disappears in two generations.

Jeremiah Dow ai was an infant when his mother and step­father took him to Ipswich, which was his home always. He probably followed some trade, but has appeared only as a farmer. He was a considerable speculator in land, sometimes jointly with his brother Thomas, and was well to do for the times. In 1710 seats together were assigned to the brothers in the new meeting house. Both were surveyors of highways in 1694, and Jeremiah again 1710-11. Both were tything men 1698 to 1708 and both appear very frequently as witnesses to wills or deeds. Jeremiah was half owner of the Bradstreet farm on which Thomas lived and farmed for eight years. His last home was a farm at Jeffreys's Neck, which Thomas deeded to him Mch 27, 1712. Apr 18, 1722, he sold land in Hampton to Jabez Dow abd,-"granted to me by my mother-Margaret Dow." He d soon after, his will proved June 11, 1723, naming his nephew Daniel Dow aha as executor. Hem (int puh.. Sept 30, 1706, says Elizabeth) Susannah Sutton, wid. Inventory of his estate taken June 10 amounted to £504-4-0, "Sett out by a commission from ye Honorable John Appleton, Judge of Probate of Wills & in sd County of Essex, to widow of Jeremiah Dow, as her thirds or right of dower, ye great Loor Room in the Mantion House, next the street & ye Lenten Chambre." Susannah receipted as follows: "Jan 4, 1783 (sic) Rec'd of Daniel Dow Excetr of the Last Will and Testament of my late Husband Jeremiah Dow, one third part according Inventory of ye Personal Estate for my own use and benefit and am therewith fully Satisfy'd and contented.

THE LINE OF J<:,HN NUPD

SINCE Henry Dow, immigrant of 1637, kept his promise to his first wife, Joan Nudd, and provided for her little Tommy as his Owne Sonne, it is but fair that he should not be genealogically forgotten

in the Book of Dow. The History of Hampton, N H, treats of him fairly fully and gives without omission one line of descent-that which stayed in Hampton and is well represented there today. The original homestead of Thomas Nudd remained in the family about 250 years. But, as Hist Hampton is out of print and inaccessible to most owners of the Dow Book, this line is reproduced here with minor alterations and recent additions. The American Nudd family is relatively small. In the third generation it divided into two branches, one in Hampton, the other moving to North Hampton, thence to Greenland, from where the fourth and fifth generation divided into branches, one to W olfboro, one to Canterbury, one to Kensington. A sixth generation went into Maine. While the Author has not worked as hard on this chapter as on the Dow lines, he has for many years preserved every accessible reference to N udd. Hist Canterbury followed one line to date. The Author connected this easily with James 4 Nudd of Greenland. The census of 1790 and 1850, the war rosters and vital statistics failed to trace any one line consist­ently and for many years the N udds of Greenland were left in more or less fragmentary state. No one of the name ever seemed to take the slightest interest in the family genealogy. At last two ladies were found, both born Nudd, who untangled much of the confusion, carried the Kens­ington lines to date and cleared up at least one complete line of the Nudds of Wolfboro.

The Nudd family is one of the, oldest in England. The Cymric , Lludd (Lhuth) was a sky god and is the original of the famous king Lot

of Arthurian times. The Gaelic equivalent was Nudd, Nuada or many other variations in spelling. Apparently, a family assuming this name descended from Gaelic times and remained in its original home in Norfolk Co, near the coast and survived the many Danish. raids from the seventh century onward. By 1600 the family was numer'ically strong but almost wholly confined to the two parishes of Ormsby. This small town was surely the father of Hampton, N H, for on the boat which carried Henry Dow to Boston came also Thomas Nudd, John, Thomas and William Moulton, Robert Page, Robert and William Marston, William Palmer, all intermarried many times with Nudd and Dow of Hampton and their descendants elsewhere. From Ormsby also, but at a later date, came Margaret Cole, 2nd wife of Henry Dow, with the Metcalfe family, settling in Dedham. One more Nudd came to these shores. A deposition was made in court in Suffolk Co, Mass, 1648, by one Richard Nud, ae about

522

32. No other mention of him.has been foun:d:.and'it is possible that the name is garbled and not Ntid. • ·

The first known Nudd of our line was John, citizen of Ormsby, who had a son Roger; no other fact being found. The Nudds were numerous in St Margaret's parish, on the coast side of Ormsby, but there are extant no parish records prior to 1675. The St Michael parish registers go back to 1586, but this was neither a Nudd nor a Dow home. A rent roll of Ormsby manor for 1610 is extant and shows a score of Nudds, either with planting ground or cottages. There is nothing to show a seafaring branch of Nudds. A bare possibility for our line is one William Nudd, farmer, with sons Thomas and W-. There was the late Robert Nudd Junr, late Nicholas Nudd, Robert Nudd pedder, another William Nudd, Agnes W wid, James, late Walter Nudd, whose yearly rent was 5d.

Roger Nudd was bap St Michael's parish June 11, 1598, the isolated entry indicating that his parents were recently from St Margaret's. His marriage to Joan has not been found. He was bur: Ormsby churchyard Dec 24, 1630, leaving an only child. This was Thomas, surely born 1628, as his inheritance from Henry Dow came 1649, to celebrate the 21st birthday of the quasi adopted son. Eight months after Roger Nudd died Henry Dow married his widow, the two families having been neighbors and friends.

Thomas Nudd ak (this arbitrary key separating by one letter from the Dow family), at one time official keeper of the calves with a large

- salary, to wit £11 per year, later selectman and prominent citizen of Hampton,-inherited from his stepfather ten acres off the easterly side of the homestead ( on the road from Hampton to Great Boar's Head, about 11-4 miles from the present village); one share of the cow common and a proportionate share of the fresh water meadow and the salt marsh, being the Hampton estate of Henry Dow, gent. Thomas Nudd built himself a house on his ten-acre lot and did there take unto himself a wife,-Sarah dau of Godfrey Dearborn, weaver, leading pioneer of Hamp­ton, hap 1603 in Lincolnshire, Eng. Sarah was the fifth child, b Exeter about 1641 and about 13 years younger than her husband. Apparently Thomas N udd never knew exactly how old he was, for in a deposition made May 8, /695, he gave it as a,bout 66. Jfe then stated that he had lived many years a servant for Timothy Dalton. , Apparently the job of keeper of the calves was no sinecure, as he had to collect all each day at sunrise, drive them to pasture, gather them at sundown and return each to its owner. The position with Dalton was easier and fully as responsible. As a matter of fact, he managed one of Dalton's estates, that gentleman being very rich in land.

The Nudds had seven children, but only two grew to maturity: a Samuel b Sept 13, 1670 g Hannah b Oct 23, 1678; d 1751; m Francis Page

Samuel Nudd ake d Mch 26, 1748; m Feb 27, 1701, Sarah Maloon, dau of Luke and Hannah (Clifford) of Dover. She d Feb 14, 1756, ae 77. Samuel retained and cultivated his inherited land and was backed by his father-in-law in the ownership of a small vessel carrying and trading between Hampton and Boston. This was the beginning of the family fortune, which by the end of the Revolution was considerable. Three children:

a Mary b about July 1705 b James hap Aug 10, 1707 c Thomas b Oct 8, 1708 (progenitor of all the Hampton Nudds)

James Nudd akeb was by far the most prolific of his line. He d May 27, 1753; m Aug 10, 1726, Abigail Thomas, dau of Capt Benjamin and Mary (Leavitt) of No Hampton. The Thomas homestead was in

, the present town of Greenland and was much better than the half of the Hampton property which would accrue to James Dow. Therefore James moved to Greenland and became lost to Hampton annals. Hist Hampton gives the list of his children and ends there. Abigail d Green­land Oct 13, 1749, her husband continued the home farm. Every one of their sons saw Revolutionary service. Their genealogy has been difficult to trace, for until 1923 the Author was unable to find any one of the name or blood interested in the subject. As a whole, the family has been inconspicuous. So far as the Author can learn, not one has been selectman and all have avoided the Legislature and all public offices. None has held high military rank, per contra, not one of them has ever been in jail and none in the county farm.

Samuel Nudd akebb. Family rec says that Benjamin Nudd akebc moved about 1806 to W olfboro with his brothers Samuel and William and that they bought adjoining farms in the north part of the town. This statement is our only actual record of the identity of William, altho his mature record is well known. Samuel m Hannah Tarlton, according to Hist Hampton, but this seems confused with his nephew. Kensington rec is clear: m by Rev Jeremiah Fogg Dec 15, 1750, Jemima Weare. Of their children, only a son Weare appears in actual rec. Census 1790 gives two Samuels, of Chester, N H, la, lb, 5c, and of Greenland, la, lb, 3c. Presumably the Chester rec is akebb, coming to W olfboro at age of about 75. There is no proof which enlistment is of akebb and which of akebba.

One enlisted June 26, 1775, and receipted for $4 for an overcoat. The other was under Capt Richard Shortridge June 27, 1775, rec of Col Enoch Poor. One or the other was under Capt Thomas Berry Nov 5, 1775, and one was at Pierce Island Nov 25, 1775, Capt Henry Elkins. Children, all but one conjectured:

a Samuel. Probably he m Hannah Tarlton. His enlistment June 27, 1780, gives him of Greenland, ae 25__, 5 feet, 7, dark. In July 1780 he was at West Point, receipting for a pound of sugar and a pint of rum. His position is certain in the 1790 census,-ofGreenland la, lb, 3c. Beyond these data, he is untraced

b David. Rev rolls lists four men as deserting, David having enlisted Aug 29, 1782, to fill vacancy in company of Capt Titus Salter. The odd thing is that there is no record elsewhere of any such company. Such desertions are usual and mean little, especially from Greenland and thereabouts. Men enlisted for some fixed term, at the conclusion of which they went home without formality. David surely existed, for he m June 9, 1793, Sarah Smith, both of No Hampton

Only one William Nudd appears in 1790 census,-of Pittsfield la, 2b, 3c. We take this to be the uncle and have attributed the other records to him also. This may be error, altho W olfboro annals give nothing safely attributable to a younger William.

He m Hampton Falls by Rev Sam Perley Nov 14, 1771, Mary Davison, she of Hampton Falls, he of Greenland. There is no proof of children by this marriage.

John Nudd akebe is surely he who enlisted from Hampton Falls 1759 in the same company as Ebenezer Dow adgf and Gideon Dow adgg for the Canadian campaign. Presumably he was the John N udd of No Hampton corporal from Nov 5, 1775. Census 1790 mentions but one John Nudd,-la, 5c. This probably indicates wife and four unm dau. If he had sons, which is not improbable, they were married and gone by 1790.

Thomas Nudd akebf was a veteran, as was every Nudd. Two Thomas Nudds are on the rolls,-enlisted Apr 4, 1780, dischDec 30, 1780, Lieut Col Dearborn; and enlisted No Hampton July 29, 1780, ae 19. The latter is presumably the son 1st born. Census 1790 gives Thomas Nudd of Wakefield 3a, 4c. This grown-up family can only come from one b by 1740. Thomas Nudd of Greenland by census la, lb, 4c must be the junior. The inference is that Thomas Nudd settled in Wakefield, leaving some older members of his family in Greenland and that the

532 THE BOOK OF DOW

Wakefield Nudds are his posterity. Possibly some of the akebe line are of Greenland disconnected. We find (index letters for convenience):

John Nudd akebfb m Greenland May 9, 1792, Martha Blaze.

Thomas Nudd akebfc m Greenland Mch 15, 1784, Susannah Simp­son.

Thomas Nudd Jr m Mch 13, 1794, Betsey Wiggin, both of Wake­field. This last makes it not improbable that Thomas Nudd of Greenland 1790 census is son of John akebe.

Stephen Nudd akebfd m Newmarket Sept 20, 1817,-both of Durham. Name of wife overlooked, but she or her mother was Wiggin. Probably identical is Stephen Nudd d Stratham Aug 21, 1833. Pre­sumably the next is his son:

William Nudd akebh. We have already noted the confusion between him and William akebbd. Our William moved about 1806 to Wolfboro and we have seen that his homestead farm was bought about 1846 by his nephew George E Nudd. Census gives him children and apparently at least one son was of W olfboro in 1846. We cannot under­stand then why the homestead should be sold. Of his earlier career, we attribute to him, rather than to his nephew, a number of data. En­listed in 3rd militia July 5, 1779, for 6 months, Capt Samuel Runnels, Col Hercules Mooney. Married July 5, 1784, Polly Bean, both of Green­land. The William Nudd of Pittsfield by 1790 census had 2 sons, 2 dau, rather rapid progress for 6 years. William Nudd m Wolfboro Dec 6, 1798, Polly Moore. Children, attributed with some uncertainty:

Samuel Nudd akebhb. We suppose him to be the Samuel d married Wolfboro Feb 26, 1875, ae 84; m May 9, 1816, Nancy Perkins, both of Wolfboro. Census 1850 gives Nancy b 1795 and only 1 child:

a Ira Pb 1828-9 (census duplicates him), in 1850 merchant of Wolfboro, unm

THE BOOK OF DOW 533

An elderly resident of Wolfboro recalls 1923 that Samuel Nudd had 1 son, and 1 dau, but cannot differentiate between the various Samuels:

a Charles H, grew to maturity b Ruth Pm (int pub Sept 4, 1848) Nathaniel Huggins; they were cousins, but

perhaps not 1st cousins

There are left unattached many Nudds of the akeb line and this is especially so in W olfboro. Vital statistics here included a church register containing a great number of marriage intentions, unaccom­panied by any other data. We index all here for convenience, hoping to attach many as times goes on.

Howard M Nudd akebje, prominent 1910-23 in educational work N Y City; has 2 unm aunts in Philadelphia; promised 1918 to send what he knew or could ascertain from them of his ancestry.

ONLY two grandsons of Thomas Nudd, immigrant, left posterity. As we have seen, the senior branch, spreading northward from No Hampton, is poorly traced, only two lines developed through

to the present. The junior branch, like the senior branch of the Dow family, remained closely identified with Hampton, the resemblance being all the closer in that few are left, the male lines dying out. The homestead remained in the family for a little over 200 years.

Thomas Nudd akec can be fairly said to have occupied a rather more prominent place than his father, who, in turn, had improved the family position over the status of the immigrant grandfather. As justice of the peace, he got the title of Esquire, by which he was known over half his life. He also served as coroner and selectman; continued to farm the homestead; m May 23, 1733, Deborah Marston, dau of Simon (abbefe). Children:

a Simon b Feb 6, 1735; d Oct 30, 1818 b Hannah b Oct 19, 1737; d Nov 9, 1819 c Samuel b Feb 5, 1739; d Aug 26, 1739 d Sarah b Jan 10, 1741; d Nov 12, 1820 e Molly b Dec 5, 1746; d Apr 28, 1838

Simon Nudd akeca arrived at the highest point of prosperity to which the name has developed. His business interests were many and as he made money, he invested it constantly in additional lands contiguous as far as possible to the homestead. In this way he was able to leave a substantial farm to each of his sons. He was known throughout his adult years by his military title of Cornet and was active in preparations for the Revolution. He himself found a wife out of town, but his chil­dren: married without exception into pioneer families of Hampton. He m Elizabeth Hook of Salisbury, who d Oct 14, 1799, ae 59. Children:

BOOK TWO

Descendants of Thomas Dow

of Newbury in 1639

BOOK TWO DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS DOW

OF NEWBURY IN 1639

HERE beginneth the chronicles of a family of Dow, absolutely unrelated to the preceding, of unknown origin, possibly of different nationality, surely poor, much poorer than their

average neighbor, actually suffering from lack of suitable food, illiterate (altho ability to read and write was not general in the colonies). On the new soil this family developed wonderfully,-one member in the second generation rising decidedly above the average in ability and prosperity. The fourth generation included very substantial men. The family progressed until its influence on the nation as a whole has been second to few. It has been distinctly a warrior race, sharing in the earliest fighting for preservation against the Indians, then for colonial defense, for independence, and in the Civil war. It is remarkable that among the home towns of this family,-Salem, Methuen arid Plaistow, not one adult male Dow of good health remained at home during the Revolution.

In the list of original grantees of Newbury, Mass, 1639 occurs the name of Thomas Dow. The origin of Newbury is strangely absent from the records. Nothing is known of the vessel which carried them; none of them appear on other lists or in other places. There is a vague tradition that Thomas Dow came in lt37, but this seems error arising from the fact that Henry Dow caine in 1637. The best presumption is that the founders of Newbury came together and in 1639, probably from some English seaport. All else is speculation without evidence. At all events he was in Newbury in 1639 with wife Phebe and at least one child. His house was in what is now called Newburyport, on the southerly side of Greenleaf's Lane (now State St) leading to Watt's Cellar. He next appears as being admitted a freeman by the General Court June 22, 1642. This does not imply any previous condition of non-freedom, indenture or lack of property qualifications. The term "freeman" was established in the first charter of the Massachusetts Bay Colony applied to such persons as took an oath of allegiance and were admitted by formal vote of the General Court. It lasted until the second charter changed the colony into a province'. A freeholder was one who by grant, purchase or in­heritance was entitled to a share of the "Commons," or undivided lands. The freeman alone could vote in the nomination of magistrate~ and deputies to the General Court. A freeholder need not be a freeman, or vice versa. He might be neither, yet be qualified to vote in all town affairs. All inhabitants could vote on any question involving raising money. Thomas Dow was a freeholder from his arrival by reason of

546 THE BOOK OF DOW

the original grant of his Newbury homestead; he continued a freeholder when he sold this and bought land in Haverhill.

There is probably no immigrant to America for whose antecedents more vigorous search has been made by professional and amateur genealogists. Yet, not the slightest trace has ever been discovered. At one time Richard Sylvester Dow bcdebejc undertook the task, hoping to make the needed discoveries in time for a forthcoming history of Essex County. He himself could give no time to the work and employed professional aid. After sending an expedition to England and collecting

· a mass of data (all wholly irrelevant), and after spending several thousand dollars, his only reward was in proving that Thomas was none of the numerous of the name whom it was suspected that he might be. His professionals got together considerable material on the Dows here, but their work is often so misleading as to be rather worse than useless, no part of it usable without independent proof. The antecedents of Henry Dow, immigrant of 1637, being known, the searchers began by assuming that the two were brothers or near relatives. This gave them a pleasant outing in Norfolk Co with salary and expenses paid. They even failed to hit upon the item in Runham parish register showing that Henry Dow had a brother Thomas 14 years too old to fit the Newbury man and that this Thomas had a family and died on his inherited property in Runham. Moreover, they ignored the obvious fact that, while Henry Dow had more than average education, Thomas Dow could not read; that for five years Henry and Thomas lived in adjoining towns and for ten years thereafter they were but 15 miles apart, without the slightest evidence that one knew of the existence of the other.

The investigators next turned to Wiltshire, because one Francis Dow had come from there and returned there; but he had an only child, Peter. This made no difference; they searched for some kinsman Thomas, disregarding as before that our Thomas could not read and Francis was of the landed gentry and mayor of a city. To Stratford they next went, bece,use a Thomas Dow of Stratford had a wife Phoebe. They did not hurry to weigh the patent evidence. Simon Fenn, clothier of Dedham, Essex, bequeathed money Jan 16, 1609, to his dau Phoebe, wife of Thomas Dowe of Stratford. Jan 10, 1615, Phoebe got another legacy from a kinswoman, being then called Phoebe Dow, wid. This Thomas Dow is about 40 years too old to fit and some curious searcher has since located all his family in Stratford. The investigators were then compelled to turn to a general search, published· probate records being the most accessible field. They · prepared lists of wills, over 200 of them, from every county in England, of Dow, Doue, Dove or any other similar spelling. Results wholly negative. They scanned every legatee, in hope that they might find from some parish rec that such had a son Thomas. They found of about right age a Robert Dowe of London, Bridget Dowe, wid of Thomas, legatees of their sister, Ann Colston, wid

THE BOOK OF DOW 547

of Bristol 1620. They canvassed William Dowe and Mary, his wife, of 1620, she the dau of John Cossie of Baudsey, Suffolk. James Deowe is a new spelling; he was an appraiser May 1620 in Beamister, Dorset. Robert Dowe was a legatee in Exeter 1620. Thomas Dow, witness to a will in Newburye, Berks, 1620, raised their hopes from coincidence in name of place, altho presumptive age forbade. The number of Dow in Ireland can be imagined from the circumstance that 12 Thomas Dows were buried in Dublin in a single year. In Scotland during the 50 years preceding 1639 the number of recorded Thomas Dows could not be confined to a page.

One can only turn to evidence drawn from Thomas and Phebe themselves. There is nothing in the religion of either to afford a clue, for there was but one church in Haverhill, and Newbury. Thomas Dow was as religious as his neighbors, but this proves nothing except that he was a Puritan in Massachusetts. Could he be a Scotchmll,n? The Scotch Dow were never an independent family; many of them were in Clan Buchanan, but there were some in almost every clan, indicating that the name was assumed by individuals without any concert whatever. The investigators did not look up any Scotch records; hunting would be like seeking a needle in a haystack. There was a Thomas Dow of Berriehell of Tullibagles, Methven Parish, near Perth, who made a will Aug 19, 1609, but he had no son Thomas; and there were a score of Thomas Dow within a few miles. There was no Scotch migration to America for many years after this, but this does not preclude the pos­sibility of some individual getting from Scotland to England and joining a party to America. Moreover, any Scotchman joining a party of emigrants would be a marked man, living socially more or less apart.

· An idea that our Thomas Dow of Newbury possessed a distinctive plaid or tartan is based wholly on a misunderstanding. Over 20 years ago a lady of Dow descent while visiting Edinburg was shown a Dow plaid and bought a quantity, distributing samples to such Dows as she knew or subsequently met. Some one who knew of the interest taken in the identity of Thomas Dow suggested that this might be his plaid and so the story grew. There are now some who assert positively that this plaid was worn by Thomas Dow of Newbury. This is absolutely untrue. It is well known that the canny Scotch manufacturers keep lines of plaid labelled to suit any name ever known in Scotland. There are plenty of retailers who. will supply a plaid for any name and will swear that the Schmidts or O'Flahertys have worn it for a thousand years. The patterns are generally chosen with some care, so this particular plaid is a variant of the Buchanan. A few years ago experts looked at it once again. None a:dmitted knowing it. Only a few were bold enough to call it a fake. One said plainly that it was a fabrication, not a true tartan, and was designed recently as resembling and varying from the Buchanan.

548 THE BOOK OF DOW

Whatever presumptive evidence there inay be (and there may not be any) comes from the will of Thomas or the ati;ached words of Phebe, his wife. Here and there a phrase faintly suggests the language or national canniness. Phebe's name was either Latly or Latty. The exact wording in the will seems to be "I, Phoebe Latly wife of Thomas." A photographic copy proves that latly begins with a small 1. It also shows the cross bar of the t prolonged, as tho the writer began to write latty when his ink failed. The Author believes her name was Latty, because that is a name, while Latly is not. Perhaps this couple came from that part of the Highlands where Thrums might be, perhaps truth is stranger than fiction, perhaps Sir James Barrie is unwittingly a better genealogist than we, and Rob Dow, literary sawyer of Thrums and Aaron Latta, weaver of Thrums, are the true kin of this Newbury and Haverhill couple. This entails an unwelcome suggestion, as there was at the time no Scotch migration. Thomas, gillie, might have married Phebe, dairy maid, and had a son John; not liking his outlook, ri.1ight have crossed the border and joined a Puritan party to America. In those days

· a runaway gillie was hauled back as ignominiously as a negro in 1850. If there was a runaway of this kind, it would be likely that the man would take a new name for concealment; if so, Dow was a common and general name, not attributable to any one clan or locality. The Author does not entertain this theory; merely cannot dismiss it until the truth comes out. Some day the marriage rec or birth of their son may be discovered, but if so, it will be by chance.

The American career of Thomas was neither obscure nor conspicuous. He was poorer than most of his neighbors, for his whole estate was appraised at less than £96. He lived 14: years in Newbury, during which time (as we shall see under be) his children had not sufficient nourishment. The rec shows that his Newbury house was conveyed to John Bartlett May 29, 1660 (book 3, p 177, Ipswich series). Thomas was dead by this time so that the date must be of a belated recording. Norfolk rec I, p 122, shows: Richard Ormsby of Haverhill to Thomas Dow of Newbury, house and house lot cont 4: a more or less, with all appurtenances and 5 accommodations for two and fifty pounds, tenn shilling to be paid as appears by a bill of sale which the aforesaid Thomas Dow has given me under his hand. Dated .10 November 1653

Rec 18 May 1662 Richard Littlehale } wit John Clement

Here is a house and 9 acres of land for less than $260. Haverhill real estate was cheap, probably far cheaper than Newbury, it being a new town, on the frontier, a bulwark of the region of which Boston was the well protected center, soon to be the scene of the greatest amount of Indian fighting, where no one was safe and every one walked with

THE BOOK OF DOW 549

ii,un in hand. Thomas did none of the fighting; he died May 31, 1654, "ae about 39." This must be nearly correct. It is also defi:p.itely stated that he was the first white adult to die in Haverhill. Not that Haverhill was an unusually healthy place, nor its inhabitants gifted with longevity. It was a new town; some one had to go first, and Thomas Dow happened to be the one, living there scarcely over 6 months.

His will is nuncupative, made two days before his death:

"The last will and testament of Thomas Dowe as it was delevered or expressed by him on the 29th day of May being in ye yeare 1654.

I, Thomas Dow, although weake in body yet of perfect memory i doe desire to submit my will, to God's will and to dispose of my estate to my wife and children as followeth, leaving my wife to be the sole executor at present of all my vesable and personall estate.

First I do give unto my loving wiffe Pheby my tow oxen that are now hers and mine and three young beastes beinge now . one yeare and upwards ould and on cow and two swine and al my houseold goods to be at her disposinge for ever.

Also my will is that my oldest son John Dowe at the age of twenty and one yeare ould shall ingioy as his inheritance al the land and housinge that I have bought in Haverhill and to pay in to his · other brothers thomas and Stephen and to his 2 sisters mary and martha as I shall apoynt the house and land being thought to be worth three score pounds; my second son Thomas shal reseave at his age of 21 ten pounds or 5 pounds at his age and 5 pounds when he is 22 yeares and for my son Steven he shall reseave at his age of 21: or 5 pounds at 21 and 5 pounds at 22; as to my will is that John my son shal pay to his sister Mary and his sister Martha at theyre age of 21 ten pounds or 5 pounds apeace at 21 and 5 pounds apece at ther age of 22; as there brothers reseave theres.

Also I Pheby latly wife to Thomas Dow doe joyne my consent to this will of my husband in each perticular and for my son John Dow I doe fully and freely resigne up al my wright in the house and land when my son shall come to the age of 21 yeares ould. wittness my hand prouided he shall pay to his brothers and sisters as his fathers will is.

John Eaton {P) Theo: Shatswell

The marke of · Phebya (F) Dowe

This will was testified upon oath by ye witnesses in ye court held at Salisbury the (8) th off ye (2d) Mo: 1656.

John Eaton's mark resembles a P and that of Phebe an F, both showing unfamiliarity with the exact shape of the letters. Nevertheless, an effort was made to claim that this mark indicated her name was Fenn. The actual writing was done by Shatswell, of whom it may be

550 THE BOOK OF DOW

said that he frequently spells a word twice the same way. It is quite clear that the first two paragraphs were composed by him and written down in advance as sure to meet the requirements. One can imagine the unction with which he put in the word vesable; it had a good sound, looked erudite, almost a legal term, and would add dignity to any will. The rest, which does not parse, was surely put down word by word as spoken laboredly by the dying Thomas. The last paragraph may have been dictated by Thomas, his wife assenting by a nod from time to time, but the final "prouided" is surely her own. A distinguished genealogist of Dow descent still claims that the mark of Phebe proves that her maiden name began with F and he reads: "I, Pheby, lately wife of Thomas." Now, Shatswell is just as liable to spell a name with a small as a capital letter, and it is inconceivable that Phoebe, just called "my loving wiffe," and sitting beside her husband, who lived two days longer, could call herself lately a wife.

Hers was not a vast dowry, the cattle and household goods worth less than £10. It is a pleasure to record that for seven years she had a home with her son John and that John made all the payments required in the will. After that, she married John Eaton, witness to the will. He was a cooper of Salisbury, who came to Haverhill 1646, was selectman 1648, thrice married, with 7 ·children, 6 surviving to become step children of Phebe Dow. They returned to Salisbury, where he d Oct 29, 1668, she Nov 3, 1672.

John Dow had Nov 26, 1672, cooper of Haverhill; freeman 1666; on muster roll of Ensign Moses Higgins, assigned to sixth garrison. The sons of Thomas Dow were not strong, possibly early privations worked against them. John prospered moderately, for he made all payments charged to him in his father's will, kept his own land and was able to buy the allotment made in the fifth division to one Coffin. He and his brother Thomas appear as signers of the petition for-the pardon of Maj Robert Pike, a high minded· man always in trouble with the authorities for denouncing the witchcraft persecution and supporting the right of free speech by lay preachers in the absence of regular preachers. He m Oct 23, 1665, Mary Page b May 3, 1646, 4th child of John and Mary (Marsh) of Hingham, later of Haverhill.

Apparently Joseph was entitled to some overlooked property, for seven years after his death, May 4, 1696, Samuel Shepard and Mary, his wife, formally refused to administer Joseph's estate. After considera­able delay it was administered by his cousin Samuel Dow bcb and the property divided among his surviving uncles and aunts (Essex Co Prob, vol 305, p 128). This argues that John Dow bac was not living and had no heirs, for such would be heirs-at-law. The matter needs more search, for there is a Haverhill line still unconnected, whose most frequently recurring name is John. ·

Mary (Page) Dow had 7 children by Samuel Shepard, of whom the youngest m Samuel Dow adk. ·

Thomas Dow bb, husbandman, d Haverhill June 21, 1676; will probated Nov 14. He evidimtly shared the family lack of vital resistance. He started toward prosperity; was able to buy land in 1662. It does not appear that he was admitted a freeman. Hem Dec 17, 1668, Dorcas Kimball b 1649, dau of Henry and Mary (Wyatt) of Ipswich. Henry was son of Richard Kimball who m 2nd Margaret (Cole) Dow a. A statement has been printed that Mary Wyatt 'm 2nd her father-in-law., This is obvious e:rror, for Richard (1) Kimball d the same year as his 2nd wife. Richard (2) Kimball had two wives, both named Mary. Hoyt gives the 2nd as Mary Gott(?). She must be Mary Wyatt Dow. Titcomb, Early New England People, apparently started the widely printed error that Thomas Dow m Elizabeth Duston (Dustin or Dunster). Dorcas Kimball survived Thomas by eight years. Apparently she did not serve as executrix, for the estate was administered by Henry Kimball, another brother, and receipts for all legacies were made to him. Children:

a Thomas b Oct 23, d Nov 4, 1669 b Henry b Mch 5, 1670-1. In his will his father gave this child to Joan, wife of

John Haseltine. This step must have had the consent of Dorcas. From Henry comes a large posterity,-roughly, one tenth of all the b Dow family

"Joseph Dow bbbf had a home of his own by 1735 in west parish, Amesbury, near the Haverhill line. Records of this line were very meager, but Alton L Smith of Worcester, whose wife is a descendant, made a study of it of remarkable completeness, seeming not to have overlooked a single deed or any other reference to him. He bought and sold real estate often and moved from town to town with a frequency very unusual in those days. A man of ability, he began a business which

558 THE BOOK OF DOW

reached its height under his grandchildren. From deeds he appears as a joiner in 1735, housewright 1739, inn holder, trader in 1754 and 1762, shipwright 1767; moved from Amesbury to Kingston 1744; in Haverhill most of the· time 1760 to 1771; d Dec 8, 1780. Oct 13, 1771, he and wife were dismissed from Second church Amesbury to the new church in Goffstown. Hem Amesbury Jan 12, 1731, Judith Butman (Bootman in rec), dau of Joseph and (wid) Rebecca (Harris). Joseph was son of Jeremy of Beverly and Hester (Lambert). Hester was dau of Richard Lambert of Salem. The oldest 5 children were hap together Nov 8, 1741, in west parish, Amesbury. Probably this was due to the changing sentiment in favor of infant baptism:

lchabod Grindall 1 Lois hap Jan 9, 1755

Joseph Dow bbbfa m Haverhill Apr 20, 1768, Judith Emery, whose sister Mary subsequently m his brother Henry. This line is not in Emery Gen. They had a brother who moved to N. Y State. Another brother (or close relative) emigrated with the Dows to New Brunswick and has a posterity now in that Province. A grandson says that his grandmother was Eliza Ann Emery, it is likely that Eliza was a niece and a 2nd wife. Judith's name appears in deeds until the family disappears from Mass in 1771. Joseph remained closely associated with his father in shipwrighting and land speculation. It is not easy to dis­tinguish between them in deeds, as both had wives Judith. The Chelms­ford roster of troops for the 1760 Canadian campaign contains Joseph Dow b Amesbury, 17, of Chelmsford. For some campaign (probably this one) he secured his cousin Gideon Colby as substitute. In 1765 he received land in Haverhill from his father, which he sold Jan 5, 1771, to James Mellard. From this time he drops absolutely out of sight until he reappears in New Brunswick 1801. He had business interests in Dracut and Goffstown and family tradition calls one of his sons Ipswich, a suggestive name.

Prior to 1783 New Brunswick had almost no population and was part of Nova Scotia. In the spring of 1783 a large party of colonists from Mass and adjoining States landed at the mouth of St John River and. took up lands. They had been tories and this was their first oppor­tunity to reach British soil. Their lives had been made most unpleasant since 1775 and many of them had lived in strict seclusion. This party, however, contained no Dow.

The Provincial government was liberal in the matter of granting land; indeed it could well afford to be to get bonaf ide settlers. Land had been "squatted upon" and such was readily confirmed by Government title.

THE BOOK OF DOW 559

To William Dow bcdhd land was granted in Charlotte Co in 1791, on which his kin had settled possibly as early as 1772. William Dow, probably not identical, got York Co land by grant in 1815. On Deer Isl, N B, there is a place known for 150 years as Hannah Dow's Hill, origin of name uncertain.

The grants of land to the bbbfa line did not begin until 1803. A series of accidental discoveries have brought to light the movements of this family throughout. Joseph Dow and wife were in Boston 1774 and he took part in the so-called Boston Tea Party. Just when he was converted to the tory cause we do not know. The people of Boston had no chance to join the Federals at Bunker Hill. They had to look on in silence, whatever their sympathies. Joseph was a ship builder already; under the British occupation of the city he was the best man at that trade in the place. He was kept busy and well paid. Family tradition says that a son of Joseph was born in or near Haverhill 1783. This is absent in the well kept Haverhill rec, and is doubtful, unless the family was there in hiding. When the British evacuated Boston, the position of the tories was precarious. A fairly large party fled; among them was Joseph Dow and at least three members of the allied family of Emery. These subsequently followed Joseph to New Brunswick, where their descendants are plenty, some being quite prominent merchants in St John today. They took refuge first on the uninhabited island of Southport, just outside of Wiscasset, Me. Possibly Henry Dow bbbfh wen~ there first. They traveled in a boat of Joseph's own making and were successful in taking all portable property, tools for ship-building being a prime necessity.

The stay at Southport lasted twenty years. Here Judith Emery died and Joseph took a second wife, Eliza Ann Emery. Here were born probably eight children. Here a ship yard was built and many vessels launched, mostly of the schooner type. It is a family tradition that Joseph built the first schooner known to Maine. Altho Southport had no money and needed none, except for taxes, no government existing for years, Joseph and his associates became comparatively wealthy, wealth consisting of vessels. They set up a coasting trade and their boats became well known from Halifax to Boston. St John, NB, was of course a regular port of call and the Dow vessels became well known to the Provincial government. · The Governor himself, realizing that the Province lacked good builders, invited Joseph Dow to locate there, promising ample lands, virgin timber tracts and deep water. Joseph accepted, and the place chosen was at the junction of the St John and Oromocto Rivers. The first grant, in Sunbury Co, was made in 1803 to Aps Dow. This is Absalom bbbfaf. In 1810 John and William got additional grants. Joseph Dow Jr got a grant in 1810 and another in 1818. He was by this time Joseph Dow, as his father had joined the great majority. If our theory is correct, a 1st born of Joseph and Judith

560 THE BOOK OF DOW

remained in Southport. The rest developed the great ship-building business begun at Oromocto. There was some sort of partnership, but how extensive or lasting is not known. Very naturally, however, the whole family, wealthy and aristocratic, considered themselves tory of tories. In Oromocto dwelt 6 sons, I dau:

F OR the benefit of the family and for the preservation of what information we have, there are gathered here the fragments of knowledge we have of John Dow. The records of some of his

children are not easy to trace, even though they come within the ken of relatives now living. No written word of him, of his times and environ­ment exists, so that our sole source of information is the stories and accounts which have been handed down by word of mouth. More than a century has passed since his departure from Haverhill, Mass, to ( what must have been) the wilds of New Brunswick, and 65 years have rolled around since his death at New Limerick, Me. How quickly we pass on and are forgotten and how many difficulties bestrew the path of him who attempts to reconstruct the lives of those of his line who passed on but a few years before! How much of interest would be added to this meager narrative could we but know the characteristics of John Dow, who his associates were, what motives actuated him and why; in fact, a thousand and one things of human interest which would picture him to his des­cendants. No one of his 17 children is now alive, so that the opportunity for securing first hand information about his home and business life is gone and we are forced to rely upon the scraps-and few enough they are at that-which these children have passed along to the next generation.

Even the parentage of John Dow is obscure, and while it is believed that he had brothers and sisters, the records of his native Haverhill reveal the names of none of them. Possibly in course of time it will be established that there were such, through a search of the parish records of Oromocto. Family tradition says his father was an immigrant to Ipswich, Mass, in 1773, but does not give his father's name. The same source names two brothers, Absalom and Ipswich, and one sister, Eunice. We have the record of Joseph Dow and of his marriage to Judith Emery in 1768 in Haverhill. The name of Emery had been well known in Haverhill for a century and this representative of the family is described as a woman of very superior character and of great native worth. Our Genealogist assigns these two to John Dow as his parents and much color is given to the assignment because the name of Emery persists to this day in the family. Indeed, no name has been :used more, as may be seen if you have the interest and 'patience to read on. Obviously Joseph Dow could not have been an immigrant in 1773 and married Judith Emery in Haverhill in 1768. Assuming, then, that Joseph Dow was the father of John, one

562 THE BOOK OF DOW

naturally asks: "How much farther back can his ancestry be traced?" Here again we refer to our Genealogist, who writes:

"You are descended from Thomas Dow and Phebe, his wife, original grantees of Newbury, Mass, 1639. We do not know whence he came; he was a Puritan."

What then do we know about John Dow? No personal picture of him is extant, so that we know nothing of his appearance, manner, or traits of character. The reader can only deduce, however, from the following that he was a man of more than average intelligence and abiHty. He was born in Haverhill, Mass, Jan 12, 1783. If, as it is believed, he was the son of Joseph, it is altogether probable that other children preceded him in the 15 years since the marriage of Joseph and Judith Emery. In 1803 he went to New Brunswick. Family tradition steps in once more with a reason for this change_.:__because he was a Tory. This may have been, although the large number of Tories left New England at about the time of the evacuation of Boston by the British in the War of the Revolution. Without doubt feeling against the mother country still ran high in 1803, and in going to a British province he might have let it be known that he had tory sympathies in order to secure peace in his new surroundings and to keep on good terms with his neighbors. It is not believed that he became a British subject as he afterwards held town office in New Limerick, Me. The lack of record of his brothers and sisters in Haverhill leads to the belief that they accompanied him to the Province. At the junction of the Oromocto River with the St John he settled and became a builder of ships. His business prospered and he became a man of substance and of local prominence at least. Several full rigged ships came from his yard, among which are remembered the names of three: the "Rival," the "Sir Howard Douglass," named for the Governor of the Province, and the "Phoebe," named for ,his wife. Some of the vessels he built he operated himself between the Province and British ports. The Phoebe was one of these and was lost on a voyage to Liverpool, with no insurance.

On his 26th birthday John Dow was married to Phoebe Smith in Watertown Parish, Queens Co, New Brunswick. She was but sixteen, the date of her birth being Aug 30, 1793. Miss Margaret A Swift of Brunswick, Me (her great granddaughter) writes thus of Phoebe Smith:

"Mother tells us that her grandmother Phoebe Smith Dow's father was a rich man, so she was well educated and brought up in affluence, with her own pony and carriage, etc.

Another extract:

"After which they came to New Limerick to farm and Phoebe we,nt right into the work to help retrieve, is even said to have picked up stones for their boundary, and how she was a very busy woman, was very generous in helping every one and gifted in many ways. They finally

THE BOOK OF DOW 563

built themselves a fine new house and were in readiness to move in when fire destroyed their possessions. She (Mother) remembers her grand­father as a very grand old man, had very beautiful white hair worn longer than usual, and was of a very religious turn of mind." ·

Here is another picture from the capable pen of Mrs Mary E Dow of Briarcliff Manor:

"-· - used to tell me a great deal about the Dow family and I have a vivid impression of the patriarchal life in your great grandfather's family. Your grandmother told me that when she visited this large dignified house the farm laborers were all fed in a large basement dining room-often as many as sixty men at a time, and that your great grand­mother, still Y.9Ung, very handsome and very "capable," managed the whole great establishment. She also found time in her leisure moments to hemstitch the ruffles for her little girls' white gowns and very possibly your great grandfather's ruffled shirts. I often wonder whether a large part of the good looks and great physical vigor of the Dow family did not come from her.

Here is portrayed a woman of no ordinary mould, and. when it is remembered that seventeen children were born to her between 1811 and 1835 at Oromocto (eleven of whom reached adult age) our wonder increases. She is described as being of very slight physique but her strength must have been nothing short of marvelous. Just stop and review for a moment: brought up in affluence, married to a man who had his own way to make and whose successes and failures were large, the management of large establishments at Oromocto and New Limerick, the hardships incidental to life in a new country and the care of a family the size of which is well nigh unheard-of in these days, do you wonder that she lived to only 48?

John Dow prospered in his shipping business. His sons helped in rafting logs down the St John River to the mills which sawed them into lumber which . constituted the outgoing cargoes of his ships. With increasing means came an increased establishment and we can readily understand why the family grew into the ways and habits of the well­to-do. Why should they not enjoy the fruits of their · labor? One recorder reports that they became quite aristocratic, holding themselves in high esteem. We have all seen the like, have we not?· About 1835 prosperity began to wane, due to two probable causes. The first was the loss of the good ship Phoebe uninsured [another vessel, the Eliza Ann (named for Eliza Ann Emery), is also spoken of as lost under similar circumstances]. No doubt this was a severe blow to the family finances. The second cause is given as the remission of duties on lumber entering British ports from the Baltic Sea, with which the provincial product could not compete. This put a quietus on the lumber export trade of New Brunswick, and, along with many others, John Dow failed.

564 THE BOOK OF DOW

The date of the departure of the family from Oromocto to found a new home at New Limerick is not known, but inasmuch as all but one of the children were born at Oromocto, it must have been very shortly after 1835. Knowing something of the farm he conducted there, it is inconceivable that his failure deprived him of everything. He had passed the age of 50 and had the numerous family hereinafter recorded. Some of the children were old enough to be of material help. We have read of the patriarchal home he and his able wife made for themselves at New Limerick, and it is difficult to believe that something was not saved with which to start it. The farm is known at this date as the Edward Hennigan place:

As Phoebe Smith died Nov 27, 1841, she did not live long after leaving Oromocto. John Dow lived on at New Limerick, his daughter Mary Frances taking the mother's place, and on Apr 21, 1852, surrounded by his family singing

Eleven of these children reached maturity, and your recorder owns with considerable regret that his information regarding some of them is still only fragmentary. It is also a matter for regret that the statistics which follow are not enlivened by more anecdotes and incidents from the lives recorded. To make an account of this kind alive and interesting, and to make our forbears alive to us again, such incidents are vital.

Ann Eliza Dow bbbfaba. The tale is soon told. The sum total of our information is that she m Henry Bonnell and went to Digby, N S, to live. Inquiry of the postmaster as to Bonnells living there brings no response. · Mrs Swift says there were a large family of children, among them:

THE BOOK OF DOW 565

b St John June 27, 1810. They made their home at Sheffield, not far from Oromocto, where all but the youngest of the children were born. Once more let us pay tribute to the wife. Mrs Mary E Dow writes thus appreciatively:

Perhaps you remember your grandmother as I so well remember you as a child in the house in Myrtle St-but you could not have understood the rare intelligence and innate refinement and absolute integrity of her charactsr. I consider the really intimate friendship she gave me was a great honor.

Coming from a woman who has influenced the lives of so many women of Americl). and has been such a power for good, this is indeed rare praise. Speaking of ~er determination that her sons should have all the advan­tages possible, Mrs Frederick George Dow writes:

But the strongest impression I have is that dear Mother Dow had the hardest kind of a life and but for her splendid effort her sons would never have had the opportunities they did.

Who is capable of estimating the value of a good mother? We Dows have been fortunate, nay blessed, in our wives and mothers, and Emery Augustus Dow is justified in his statement:

.... be that as it may, I have yet to meet a man or woman by the name of Dow who would not, it seems to me, bear inspection and give quite a respectable account of himself or herself.

Considering our ancestry how can it be otherwise? The date and reason for the removal of John Emery Dow and his

family from Sheffield to Portland, Me, are not known. It certainly antedated the Civil War, as his sons volunteered from Portland. Ghil-

Edwin B Dow bbbfabba was his father's partner before and, for a time, after the War, in Portland. He was the second commander of the 6th Me battery (known as Dow's Battery) and was brevetted Major for meritorious service at Gettysburg. His position there became isolated and was about the last obstacle to the Confederate sweep of the whole field. Made the center of fire by batteries and infantry charge~:, he and a small group of survivors returned an effective fire until the Union infantry re-formed, advanced and turned the tide of battle. A monu­ment to the band has stood for many years on the spot. He is buried in the Arlinffeton National Cemetery.

Somewhere, from a source not now remembered, . the writer learned that Absalom was considered the student of the family, the one who turned naturally to the finer things of life.

·great friends. Roosevelt says Dow was the best shot at game he has ever seen.

By kind permission of Col Roosevelt the following incident is copied from the Roosevelt Autobiography: The Elkhorn ranch house was built mainly by Sewall and Dow, who, like most men of the Maine woods, were mighty with the axe. I could chop fairly well for an amateur, but I could not do one-third of the work they could. One day when we were cutting down the cotton wood trees, to begin our building operations, Lheard some one ask Dow what the total cut had been, and Dow, not realizing I was in hearing, answered: "Well, Bill cut down fifty-three, I cut forty-nine, and the boss he beavered down seventeen." Those who hav~ seen the stump of a tree which has been gnawed down by a beaver will un?erstand the exact force of this compari:son.

In his note to the writer Col Roosevelt adds: "Will Dow was a natural born gentleman, and as fine a man in all ways as I ever met-and as staunch a friend."

This proves that Joseph m her prior to 1783. He is recalled as riding each morning from his home to the shipyard, generally with a dau on the saddle with him. He wore his pure white hair a little longer than was customary, in a queue tied with a ribbon. His silver breeches buckles are still a family heirloom. His son recalls that he was fond of expressing his tory sentiments. It is evident that he himself established the great shipyard, of which his son John became the head. What connection Henry Dow had with it is not apparent. He m Mary McMonegal. There was a dau, as well as a son:

Thomas Dow bbbfax:. His d rec giws him b 1768, and he was surely an original settler at Southport. Thomas Dow bcdig is untraced but ,vas 9 years older. There seems no other place possible for Thomas of Southport, and the more we cogitate, the more probable it seems that our identification is correct. He ,rns a man grown when his parents moved to N B; his interests were at "Wiscasset, his wife presumably preferred it to the plan of pioneering all over again at Oromocto; more­over, he could not foresee the prosperity which Oromocto was to give. He was a ship calker, about the hardest job in all ship building. His wife was Nancy Hues cl Belfast 1847, ae 87. Rec probably overstates her age by ten years. The Ifayerhill family several times intermarried with Dow appears as Hews, Huse, Hewes, but never Hughes. Pre­sumably one or more of them were of the tory party pioneering at South­port. A great grandson says that the wife of Thomas was Nancy Thaxter. This is possibly explicable by a 2nd m, for Thomas d Wiscasset :Mch 1, 1813, ae 45. A family rec has it J\Ich 3, 1814, but the "Wiscasset rec is official. A family Bible exists giving all the children.

Benjamin Dow bbbff served under Capt Henry Young Brown May 4, 1761, to Jan 8, 1762, his brothers-in-law, David Kimball, Timothy Kimball, and Richard Simonds, in the same company. He bought ( consideration named £6) lot 44 in Goffstown, which John Goffe of Derry­field had sold to Samuel Johnson of Hampstead for £33. Samuel John­son was his father-in-law. 3?enjamin sold this lot Jan 9, 1767, to Timothy Kimball for £33, and it later belonged to John George, another brother­in-law. He bought a new home Oct 15, 1789, from Thomas Senter of Bedford, lot 123 near Piscataquog bridge. He sold part of this, with half the mills and water power for $1,000 to Thomas Parker and Joseph Buswell. Benjamin was apt at a land trade. He then bought land in Deering, which became the homestead. He intended to live there, but d Sept 5, 1798, poisoned by eating fish in Hillsboro.

.. Benjamin Dow bbbffb was a giant, well remembered in Goffstown tradition; about 7 feet tall, weighing about 300, a mighty wrestler and by far the strongest man in the countryside. Hearsay from the Goff­stown Dow was that he d about ae 30. This is error. He m Sept 10, 1795, Sarah Richardson of Goffstown and was living ten years later in Hooksett. Perhaps more children, but only one found:

Myron E Dow bbbffbaa, jack of many trades, good husband, good father, honest man, was in his way a genius; traveled many years as a peddler ·with span and wagon. He m Mch 16, 1849, Sophronia G Max­field of Manchester b Exeter, Me, Mch 31, 1829, d Manchester July 13, 1866; 2nd, Feb 4, 1883, Ella Francena Johnson b Ossipee Aug 6, 1855, dau of Solomon and Lydia Ann ( Gowen) Young. Five children by 1st wife.

About 1889 the couple received from Edgar R Dow his regular inquiry for aid to a Dow genealogy, with the usual blank forms for data. After they answered it succinctly, it occurred to them that a published genealogy of the Dow family would be a fine advertisement, as it might contain an extensive biography and notice of the business. So, each wrote at frequent intervals biographical notices, modified at each writing and extended. In the Edgar R Dow papers received by the Author in 1923 his photo was found, an unfixed proof. His wife forwarded his autograph, which she was sure would be needed; it was torn from the bottom of an old letter. She was autobiographic. She had married at 15 and had 3 children. After five years she got rid of a very undesirable husband and continued as a mill worker to support them. In fairness, it should be said that she did so and Myron Dow was always a good and high-minded step-father. She met her second husband when he was in her home town selling wares from the back of his team, playing the cornet to attract the crowd, wagon gaily painted, horses with much trapping. She proved a good wife and valuable helper. ·

He, in ,youth, had been apprenticed and learned plastering and masonry., He broke loose as soon as he could. In Manchester he put in all his time, when not out peddling, at building houses, being his own plumber, mason, carpenter, in fact, doing every bit of the work with

576 THE BOOK OF DOW

his own hands. But, the peddler's wagon was the joy of his life. As a lecturer, he was sure he excelled; he spoke on astronomy or any other subject that came into his head. He was much better received, he said, than was Bob Ingersoll. Mrs Dow wrote graphically about their travels together; how the lecture lasted about 20 minutes and the selling began with 2-foot folding rules at 10 cents each.· Then followed razors, patent medicines, anything, everything, until after 3 hours they had taken in $70 woss. We suspect that she herself composed an account which she says was penned by a friend: "I attended one of the evening entertain­ments given by Dow and Lady. They came into town about 4 o'clock; we heai;d music and looking out saw a Lady driving a span of blooded horses while a gentleman sitting beside her was not only making music but scatte~ing bills while the Lady called our attention to the fact that the Open Air Lecture was for one evening only at 7 :30. At 7 :30 we all went out into the Square where the cart stood 3 large lights were lighted which for brilliancy excelled anything I ever saw the carriage was very fancifully painted and coverd with masonic and other emblems on a plat­form which let down from the back end of the cart stood the Lady and after Mr Dow had delivered a spirited lecture of about 10 minutes length he performed several ·jugglers' tricks very cleverly and exposed spiritualism to the great amusement of the crowd which grew larger and drew nearer untill every man woman and child in the place that could walk was there Mrs Dow then Address the people and Recitated several selections and the crowd grew more and more interested and exsited at her as she gave them with a perfect Dutch dialect the comical selection, Sockery setting a hen. '

Human nature could keep quiet no longer and shout after shout rent the air. Three cheers were given for Dow & Lady and the business commenced-"

Mr Dow dwelled long with pride on the favorite nickname applied to him,-the Edison of the Peddlers.

Henry Dow bbbfh d Wiscasset, Me, 1811. Our genealogists discovered at the outset that hem Haverhill June 5, 1771, Mary Emery, sister of Judith bbbfa, and that he became a pioneer of Wiscasset. Fur­ther search found him in Goffstown, N H, June 18, 1773, buying land from William McDoel. From that date nothing more was found until he turns up in 1790 census, of Topsham. Henry Dow served 14 dlys in 1776, Capt Thomas Coggswell, Col Loammi Baldwin, but this is just as likely to be the untraced bbbebd as it is our Henry.

The mass of correspondence of Edgar R Dow which he was unable to classify reached the Author in 1923. In this was a letter from a descend­ant which proved identities, named all the children and gave other pa,rticulats. Henry's situation was much like that of his older brother; he was a tory. This does not disprove that he enlisted in the Federal army. Enoch Dow bcdgd served twice, yet became a pronounced tory. He may have changed his ideas or his enlistment may have been a matter

of policy. Howbeit, the reason that he took his family to the lonely island of Southport, beyond Wiscasset, was to escape the persecution meted out to those who disapproved of the Revolution. Mary Emery d in Wiscasset. All children but the oldest were b Southport. It is family tradition that the oldest was born Haverhill, but we doubt it. Haverhill rec are as complete as any in New England. The census 1790 shows fiv,e young sons and three females. As there were three dau, the mother was either dead by 1790 or one daub later. Latter is presumably the case. Extant stones in Wiscasset cemetery mark one son and three of the grandchildren. It is an odd survival of a trivial circumstance that in 1795 & letter to Henry Dow, Wiscasset, was advertised "not found." Family rec give no dates for the children:

a Joseph. D rec says b Aug 20, 1785. One would expect the 1st born about 1772

STEPHEN DOW be, admitted freeman 1668, lived and died in Haverhill. His parents being very poor, he was apprenticed at age of 9. When he was 15, in 1657, an interesting lawsuit throws

more light than all other records on the status of this family. He was bound out to Thomas Davis and wife, who agreed to teach him the stone ~~son's trade, to read and write. The testimony of his mother showed that this was a verbal agreement and that finding a home for Stephen was a great relief to herself and her husband. A neighbor, she testified, had previously promised to take the boy but was dissuaded by his wife, who pointed out that the boy was weak, undersized and sickly, sure to become a burden. Kemp, the defendant to the suit,. was charged with taking the boy away from Davis and attempted to justify his action by alleging that the boy was not properly treated. The neighbors were all agreed that the boy was unpromising, was unable to take off or put on his own clothes, and gave little promise of growing to manhood. The boy's own testimony is ingenuous and illuminative. He had run away a number of times but for no definite reason, except possibly once to see his mother, and always intended to come back. He admitted that his master and mistress were good and kind, but he did 'acknowledge that it was a good while before he could eat his master's food viz. Meate and milk or drink beer, saying he did not know it was good, because he was not used to eat such victuall, but to eate bread and water porridge and to drink water.'

While the food of the Haverhill pioneers was simple in the extreme, even bean porridge not to be freely used, an exclusive diet of bread and water was not the usual fare. It is not unlikely that the death of Thomas Dow at 39 was due to this undernourishment, coupled with hard work and other privation. The symptoms of little Stephen, unable to put on his own clothes, indicate conclusively an undernourished, rickety condition, and surely the future Indian fighter owed his life to the victualls, viz: Meate, milk and beer furnished by master and goodwife Davis, who seem to be worthy people. The jury took this view and there was no further complaint of Kemp's intervention or Stephen's runaways. Shortly afterwards Phoebe Dow m John Eaton and moved to Salisbury. Stephen's apprenticeship was to last until he was 18, and it probably did. Nothing more appears about him until he was 22, a healthy, vigorous man, able to do his fighting share. He soon came to own a goodly piece of land, his neighbor to the southeast being Capt John White. Its exact site has not been detpmined, but it was over the border, into what is now Plaistow. It faeed the commons, and when that land was fenced in, he was ordered by the selectmen to erect a gate thereto by the side of his house. From 1690 to 1697 he was a minor offic~r in the 6th garrison, on what is now Mill St, its captain being John White. This blockhouse still s'tands.

588 THE BOOK OF DOW

He was a member of Haverhill first church; selectman 1682, 1685, 1690 and 1697; grand juror 1692. He d July 3, 1717, his will dated 2 days previously. His posterity includes a majority of all the Dow b family, the Dows of Plaistow, Salem, Windham, Atkinson, e'tc.

Stephen m Sept 13, 1663, Ann St-yd Feb 3, 1715, and must have been b by 1646. Altho the marriage is recorded in Haverhill, it is improbable that it took place there. If she had been a Haverhill resident, her parents would have been known. Next to Thomas Dow himself, no search in the family has been carried on with more assiduity than for Ann, and the results are far from conclusive. Her name appears many times but as Story and Stacy, about equally divided. Genealogical autltorities do not give reasons for their choice. Hoyt, Old Families, gives: •"Story (or Stacy)." Titcomb seems sure of Story, but that author took almost all her early data at second h.and. Others have merely jumped at conclusions. As there was an Ann Stacy, most have used her name without searching for proof. A little investigation shows that no possible Ann Stacy is known. Simon Stace, immigrant, came with wife Elizabeth and children,-Thomas, Sarah, Ann and perhaps others. They located in Ipswich. Elizabeth was the sur.vivor and Mch 1670 (probated Mch 29) made a nuncupative will,-"as reced from her own mouth by Simon Stace, Sarah Stace, Ann Stace," in which she left to "my daughter Ann in consideration of her care of me in my old age all my other house­hold stuff." Ann Stacy, therefore, was of Ipswich, living with her mother seven years after Stephen Dow was married and set up his Haverhill home, A Susannah Stacy, probably dau of Simon, m Ipswich 1653 Joseph French (Edward 1) of Salisbury. Thomas Stacy, the first mentioned in the will; m Oct 4, 1663, Susannah, dau of Rev William Worcester of .Salisbury. This couple moved to Salem, had 11 children, but none was named Ann.

While there are many Mass towns whose vital statistics have not been published, there is none whose records prior to 1675 have not been exhaustively studied. In none occurs any Ann, Anna, Anne, Annie, whose last name can be distorted into St--y. There are but two logical conclusions,-either she was bin Europe and her name is not found in any list of immigrants, or her b rec is not extant. We know that few early rec of Ipswich exist.

The Author's belief is that she was Ann Story. In the list of passen­gers of the Rose & Dorothy from Yarmouth 1737, incidentally shipmates of Henry Dow a, there is a Samuel Dix, with wife, two dau, two servants. One of these is William Storey b 1614. As Dix was a joiner, presumably Story was an apprentice in that trade. The Dix family has not been located. No other can well be the William Story, carpenter of Ipswich ,and Doyer. He might have ma Dix; there was plenty of time to find a wife and raise a family in Ipswich, which has no rec until 1648. The children of William Story are not all known, so there might have been an

· Samuel Dow bcbc. Original manuscript of b lines, prepared for Richn.rd S Dow gave him d May 28, 1722. This is complete error. Amesbury rec: Samuel Dow and wife Mary had:

a Jacob b June 24, 1723

Some wid Mary Dow m Haverhill May 7, 1745, Henry Herring. Perhaps a conscientious genealogist should leave this line here.

Our policy, however, is to include in the volume every untraced line. There turn up Dow families in Malden and Pelham, of considerable importance, the origin of which is unknown. A careful survey fails 'to find any likely ancestor. We take it as our hypothesis that Samuel and wife moved to Pelham, leaving the homestead to be inherited by his brother Timothy. In this case, we must assume that there was another son:

b Samuel b anywhere from 1725 to 1730

Jacob Dow bcbca. There were two Dows of Malden who cannot be accounted for. We continue our guessing by assuming that Jacob Dow had at least two children:

a John presumably h 1745 to 1750 h Solomon, served from Malden.

John Dow bcbcaa must have been close to Haverhill, for he marched from there as a minute man to L~xington Apr 19, 1775, Capt James Sawyer, Col James Frye. He re-enlisted, was at the Battle of Trenton; in continuous service until mustered out Mch 17, 1779. He must have hastened home from New Jersey, for hem July 4 (int pub July 3), 1779, Mehitable Sargent of Malden b Jan 22, 1756, d'au of David and Mehitable (Green).

Samuel Dow bcbcb. There was a Samuel Dow of Pelham, NH, with wife Rebecca. Apparently he d soon after b of 2nd child, for Rebeckah Dow of Pelham m Jan 31, 1757, William Tarbox b Aug 23, 1732, son of Jonathan and Mary (Clough) of Boston. They continued to live in Pelham; had one son, John b June 23, 1758; m Mch 3, 1779, Ruth Butler of Pelham; 8 children. Samuel had 2 children; both b Pelham:--

a John b Oct 7, 1752 b Samuel b Dec 21, 1755

John J)ow bcbcba. Our proven knowledge of him ends with his birth rec in ~elham. He may be the veteran given herein as bcbcaa whose identity is merely guessed. On the other hand, we must find parentage for a James Dow who Hist Littleton, N H, says was b Barnet, Vt, 1780. This James had a posterity coming to Littleton from Barnet after 1860 and there was a kinship between this posterity and the bcbcbb family of Littleton. Now, it is more than doubtful whether any Dow was in Barnet as early as 1780. Hist Littleton has taken some hearsay for granted. To provide for an actual James, we continue guessing,-that John Dow bcbcba was the father of James and that James settled in Barnet some time after 1783. Another close search in 1927 just before the printer received the copy of this chapter tends to prove the correctness of our hypotheses. James Dow of Littleton and James Dow of Barnet both had fathers who were Revolutionary veterans. They were closely akin. They were acquainted. They probably were first cousins. Ther_efore,-we place as son of John Dow:

a James b Sept 23, 1780; as likely in Pelham as elsewhere

James Dow bcbcbaa. Hist Littleton's account is evidently contributed by a member of the family, apparently after a lapse of many years with imperfect recollections to go by. No wife, no particulars are mentioned, only the existence of 2 sons:

a Samuel b Barnet Aug 27, 1803; place, as well as date, undoubtedly correct b Amos H b Barnet; m Jan 2, 1829, Phebe Wadley of Danville.

Samuel Dow bcbcbb, Rev veteran, pensioner, his wife surviving to be comfortable on his pension until 1850. His posterity is inadequately treated in Hist Stoddard, which gives no genealogy. The indefat­igable Edgar R Dow got in communication 1885 with a grandson with great success altho not able to establish the ancestry of Samuel himself. Samuel was a private on guard Cambridge May 15, 1775, and was present at Bunker Hill. Possible but unlikely that he was the corporal Samuel, said to be of Dunstable, in 27th reg, Capt Ebenezer Bancroft, Col Eben­ezer Bridge, 3 mos, 10 days from July 24, 1775. This does not conflict with the presence of Samuel in Pelham, where hem Nov 30, 1775, Eunice Kimball b 1756. She is not in Kimball Genealogy, but her mother was a Wyman. Family rec that she lived to 106 is fanciful; she d ae 96. Judging from b of fifth child, the couple continued in Pelham until 1786 or later, then moved Tyngsboro, Mass. Hist Stoddard is correct that Samuel, veteran, appeared first in Stoddard tax list 1800. Peaceful old age followed. Edgar R Dow had the original of a letter Samuel wrote in 1829 to his grandson in N Y State, saying that, altho lame, he could still work steadily at his carpenter's bench and made a comfortable living. Seven children, Tyngsboro and Stoddard rec very defective, third and fourth proven by family Bibles only:

Samuel Dow bcbeb. There have been a number of Dow gen­ealogists in the b lines, but all of them have been confine~ to the bcde lines. The one exception is Titcomb, who monographed the bcbeh line. Strangely, this author never even alludes to the elder brother, heir to the homestead. The present Author of this Book has had to reconstruct as best he could this whole line out of the extremely defective Plaistow records and not a single Dow has ever given aid, even in the 30-year search made by the late Edgar R Dow. Samuel, his son Sanmel and brother Joshua appear Oct, 1777, in Capt Gile's company. The Rolls give no inkling of length of service. He m Nov 25, 1749, Mary Davis of Amesbury b Aug 30, 1729, dau of Nathaniel and Sarah (Silver). The 1790 census finds him in Plaistow 2a, lb, 2c. This indicates some son b after 177 4 and him we do not find.

His son Samuel m "Molly," presumably another Mary Davis. This makes it almost impossible to separate the two sets of children. There is a gap of seven years between the 6th and 7th child. To place the 7th chi).6 as 1st born of his son Samuel would make the latter a father at -17. )\1ore likely that a son b 1779 is the one indicated in the 1790 census.

We shall assume this to be the case. The 3rd child Samuel was his

father's heir, so far as the homestead is concerned; this indicates only one older surviving brother. Children:

Timothy Dow bcbebb. Boughton, Hist Concord, notes a Timothy Dow th~re by 1780 and, not placing him, interpolates him among the children of Ebenezer Dow ahbg, not stopping to realize that, if he were right, Timothy would be a father at 9. His d rec was overlooked by Hist Conc0rd; 1808, b Plaistow. Apparently Timothy sought fortune elsewhere ancLpermitted his younger brother to be heir to the homestead. A Timothy Dow enlisted 1776 from Londonderry. This may be bcbebb or bcbef. Our Timothy came to Concord from Bow, m about 1779 Margaret Gott of Pembroke. Hist Pembroke gives: William Dow m Margaret Gault, dau of Andrew (2) and Molly (Ayer) of Londonderry. The spellings Gott and Gault are generally interchangeable in early dates. William must be a pen slip for Timothy, altho there was a William Dow of Bow at this time. The couple came at once to Concord. Census 1790 indicates 1 son and 1 dau more than are otherwise found. Hist Concord abandons the family early. An appeal by the Author, printed in the Concord Patriot, did not get a single answer from any descendant of bcbebb, nor from any one else, for that matter.

John Dow bcbebf. The first transcript of Plaistow rec give him m Plaistow about 1793 Mary Colby, his niece. Second transcript gives John Dow m Oct 30, 1788, Molly Colby, both of Plaistow. Now, John Dow signed in 1794 for Molly, his wife, a quitclaim on real estate of Stephen and Elizabeth (Maxfield) Colby. If Molly Colby were dau of Stephen, she could not possibly be niece of John Dow. If a granddau of Stephen, it would necessitate an unknown brother of John Dow. Probably the entry "niece" is wholly error. The couple lived in Plaistow until after 1810, then moved to a farm in Londonderry.

He Jived Warren until 1811, judging from rec that all younger children b Warren. Nevertheless, he appears as a founder in · 1810 of the First Free Will Baptist church of Warner. If this last date be 1812, no confusion would be left. In Warner, he was a miller and man of promi­nence. He was quite positive in opinions, argued strenuously that witches existed, giving Biblical authority. He held it impossible that the earth should revolve on its axis, "else, why doesn't my mill pond spill out?" On other authority, he wore his stockings inside out to cure ague and laid his boots bottom up to ward off rheumatism. Seven children found to "James and Hannah":

genealogically lost. Few early church rec are extant. The census returns and an occasional family Bible are all that can be used in tracing lines. Happily, the preservation of a family Bible by Mrs Burroughs bcbhbfba proves the identity, the 1790 census adds and Benjamin's own diary amplifies an account. Family tradition says that Benjamin came from England; we note that a similar tradition runs widely through the b lines, wherever an ancestor becomes untraceable. The family Bible gives Benjamin b Feb 9, 1732, date coinciding exactly. That he served in the Revolution is sure, altho Mass rolls do not give him, nor his son Benjamin, also a veteran, nor, in fact, any Benjamin Dow. Family rec give him in the 4th Me infantry. This last must be error, as there was no .l}'[aine, all troops registered from Mass. In 1830, when Benjamin was 98, he applied for a pension, but one would presume this was for an increase. He was then of Penobscot Co. The 1790 census finds him of Vassalboro la, 4b, 2c. His son Benjamin was also of Vassal­boro la, 3b, 2c. From a diary, extracts of which have reached the Author through the miscellaneous papers of Edgar R Dow, he calls himself Benjamin Dow of Lancaster. An entry: "July 17, 1774: the first blow was struck today to fell a tree. We call it Jones Plantation. With me are-Clark, Bely Burrell, Job Chadwick, Michael Norton."

A son of Benjamin Dow served in 1812 under a son of this Job Chad­wick. Jones Plantation has become successively Harlem, Fairfax, Ligona, China. It became the home of a family of Benjamin's cousins, mill owners coming from Jefferson. Benjamin was an energetic man. He describes building for himself the first gristmill in the town. The only tools he had were an "old gun-barrell & an adze, and a hollow log composed the floom."

The Author knows no way after the passage of over 20 years of finding the original diary. Presumably it would mention his family, his first and second wife. He m Pl~istow about 1754 Deliverance Haseltine, by whom 2 children, perhaps 3. Of his 2nd m nothing appears. We know the oldest child was b 1755, the youngest 1798, the span too great for any woman.

At least 1 more child than here appears: a Moses b May 12, d Sept 30, 1755 b Abigail b Aug 1, 175-, both Plaistow c Benjamin b 1763 (date from census) d Jacob e David. Both known only from mention in family rec. Several families of

616 THE BOOK OF DOW

Oct 30, 1759, Elizabeth Huse. First born was at Plaistow; then the family disappears from the place. Hist Essex Co notes a tradition that a Dow was an original settler of Jefferson, Me, but knows no name. It has been printed that this was a son of ahbc, but it has been finally proved otherwise. A great grandson wrote 1889 to Edgar R Dow giving proof that the Jefferson settler was Peter from Plaistow. Years later the Jefferson town clerk reported to the Author that the first mention of Bow there was Peter who had 14 children. This proves to be a son. Census 1790 clinches matters, giving in Ballston Peter Dow Sr la, 2b, 2c and Peter Dow Jr la, lb, 2c. Finally, the great grandson gave definitely the names of 3 sons, saying there were other childreu. It is evident from the e.ensus that 2 sons were born later than 1774. Two sons were gone by 1790 and must be added:

a Follansbee b Plaistow July 2, 1760 (both parents named in rec). He appears serving 14 days from May 1775, Capt Thomas Mighill, Col Loammi Baldwin, and receiving Nov 30, 1775, extra allowance for an overcoat. Nothing sub­sequent has appeared concerning him, and, altho there are a few early Dow of Jefferson still unplaced, it is unlikely that he came to that town

b Peter b Feb 17, 1766 (family Bible rec) c Joshua. A great grandson of Peter gave this name, but he is not definitely

known, if at all d Jeremiah, original settler of Whitefield e Thomas b 1778, in Jefferson according to above authority. Author doubts

that the family reached Me by 1778, too many British ships harassing even coastwme navigation

f --. A dau is called for in census

Peter Dow bcbhdb is progenitor of almost every Jefferson Dow. He m Mary Kennedy, a Scotch Presbyterian, doubtless an immigrant after 1783. As she was a woman of much character, all descendants agree about her identity. As to dates, children, etc., there is much disagree­ment. Jefferson town clerk informed us long ago that there were 14 children. In 1918 a descendant was found who named 7 of them. In 1920 another descendant named 4, added some local color, but confused the wife and added a son Joshua. This Joshua, if existent, must be the uncle or an unknown cousin. In 1922 Jefferson vital statistics were published and it is found that the original town clerks were careful and complete. The d rec of Thomas K Dow bcbhdbo says that his father was Peter b China, Me, and was a paper manufacturer, and that Mary Kennedy d China Sept, 1826, ae 60. Obviously this last is error, as she had a child by 1789. A descendant James M Dow wrote in 1881 that Peter was a rake maker of Vienna, d there 1851. A son of Thomas K Dow wrote in 1907 that Peter was b China and had 2 brothers, 4 sisters. However, we can depend on the official rec for the children, noting in each case the discrepancies introduced by descendants:

a Tho~as b Nov 23, 1789 . .. cb Eliza.beth b Jan 14, 1791. Census 1790 calls for a dau. Possibly Elizabeth is

/meant and the census taker kept open books for a few extra months. Some dau of Peter m Noah Farnham of Jefferson, but which we do not know

c Jane b Aug 21, 1792. Some dau m -- Costello of Richmond. W N Dow says Jane m -- Newton

correct. Thomas Dow bebhdba d young. W N Dow also says a sister Levina-d ae 18.

John K Dow bcbhdbe appears in 1850 census as farmer of Wash­ington, Lincoln Co, realty $1,300; wife Hannah b Me 1797. His son James M Dow wrote to Edgar R Dow in 1881, at great length, but with many statements which we cannot reconcile. It was he who gave us the Joshua Dow of the 6th generation. He wrote that John Kennedy Dow had had a first wife Comfort Ames who d Calais Jan 7, 1870, and who bore him 4 sons and 2 dau. This is too circumstantial not to have some basis of fact. John K Dow m Washington June 12, 1824, Hannah Boyington, by whom the family hereinunder. To have 6 children and a divorce at 29 is preposterous. Nor, could it refer to James M Dow himself, whose m occurred at 25. Who or what is meant we do not know; we feel sure it has nothing to do with this immediate branch of the family. The children of John K and Hannah never were good correspondents. They were alive in 1881, but, as James says, had not written for many years:

a John b 1825 (properly John W) b Ensign b 1827; joined the California gold rush in 1849; never came back; unt c James Madison b Dec 9, 1831 d Leander Alphonso b 1831

Census 1850 gives them both of Washington, but also gives (doubtless duplication) Warren: Madison Dow b Me 1829 and Linder Dow b Me 1831

e Alfred b 1833; living 1881 but never mentioned by any of our informants f Julia d ae 2 g Phineas

This last name is given by Leander A Dow bcbhdbead, but as Phineas m 1839, it ii:: impossible, age forbidding. He must have been close kin.

Among the many statemen'ts of James Madison Dow in 1881 were that Peter Dow was b Alna 1751 (both place and date impossible), that he was a farmer of China, d China, that Polly Kennedy was b Jefferson, that Uncle Thomas was alive in Mapleton, ae 92 (68!), that Uncle William was of Minneapolis (true), that Aunt Hannah was of Fairfield (true). He named lt'children of Peter and Polly (approximately correct), says Jeremiah and.Joshua, sons of bcbhd, both lived Alna. We hope this is authentic news of Joshua; we know that Jeremiah was always of White­field.

Charles W W Dow bcbhdbnd learned the upholstering trade in the East but on coming west preferred a more adventurous life. He joined the gold rush to Pike's Peak 1858 and went with Gen John C Fre­mont in the transcontinental railroad survey. In 1859 he was cam­paigning against the Navajos in New Mexico. When the war broke out in 1861 he rode his pony 1,000 miles from Sante Fe, twice escaping the hostile Sioux, to Iowa City in time to join the 1st Iowa Cavalry. Made 1st sgt Sept 1, 1862. His command of a platoon at the famous moon­light midnight charge against Newton's reg at Jackson, Mo, brought promotion to 2nd Lieut July 18, 1863. A bullet wound in the head Apr 4, 1864, put him out of commission but a short time and he was promoted to lsµieut Feb 7, 1865. Policing service on the border kept him in

Jeremiah Dow bcbj:J.dd apprenticed as a blacksmith, having mas­tered his trade, m Rebecca Glidden b Lincoln Co, and set up a shop in Whitefield, a place still known as Dow's Corner. Here they lived to old age. Census 1850 gives no help, the children m and gone. In 1918 a great grandson was found in Howland, who named 4 sons, reporting there were in all 9 sons, 4 dau. In 1926 the Author got a list compiled many years ago by a descendant, Rev Charles W Lowell, Methodist minister, then of Castine. This seems complete:

She lived to old age with her son Peter; appears in census 1850 as wid of Windsor, realty $250. Census gives the children, 3 dau having m or d young:

Thomas Dow bcbhde m by 1803 Ruth Brooking, dau of Eben of Woolwich. His experience was one of the many which brought on the War of 1812. British frigates were then accustomed to recruit their seamen in complete disregard of whether or not they were British sub­jects, and few men thus shanghaied ever returned to tell the tale. Thomas was seized one day on shore by a press gang which included the ship's captain. His cries brought friends, but they had no weapons. Several friends tli>ok boats and rowed not far away. Thomas attacked the captain in his open boat, the crew either unable or unwilling to interfere s-qccessfully. Thomas either killed or disabled the captain, he never knew which, swam to a friend's dory and returned safe to his wife. They had the family usual to the time, list perfectly authenticated, all reaching maturity:

a Eben m Martha Clark b Peter m Eliza Whitehouse c Thomas m Hannah Rankin d Elizabeth m Charles Sidelinger e Esther m Edward Monk f Cushing m Mary A Plummer; unt g Mary Ab 1818; m Edward E Follansbee. This name has followed the bcbhd

From the foregoing it may be seen that about half of the Dow tribe of Jefferson have so far been genealogically placed. Further search locally will doubtless place many more. Presumably all Jefferson Dow be1op,g to the bcbhd line, so all such are collected and indoxed here for easy reference.

Henry Dow bcbhdxa. Jefferson annals mention that a Dow became a pioneer of Perham, but it finally comes to light that this is Peter Dow bcbhddg, who went there rather late in life. Another Dow was of Perham, but he is known only from rec of 2nd m of a son, which says Henry m Ann Gallagher, both b N B. There is surely no room in bcdg line for him and probably none in the h family. A much better guess is of the bcbhd or bcbhb line and that the N B reference applies to Ann but not to Henry.

638 THE BOOK OF DOW

Joseph Dow bcbhg appears in bap rec as Joses. Apparently the family of Peter and Susannah Dow separated, one group going to Maine, another westward, some of the girls probably marrying and continuing to live not many miles from Plaistow. In Maine we find a record which possibly belongs to bcbhg. Joseph Dow, a cripple, was warned June 10, 1775, by the selectmen of Belfast to leave town, as they did not wish him to become a citizen, lest he eventually become unable to support himself. He withdrew a short distance and took refuge for the night in

~ a storehouse. A party of British privateers came looking for loot and set fire to the place. Joseph put out the fire and was subjected to much violence by the enemy, who did not kill him but left him apparently disabled. They again fired the place and withdrew. Joseph put out the 'nre again, made his way back into town and warned the troops. Whether the selectmen woke to a sense of ·shame history does not record and Joseph Dow is genealogically lost.

Hannah Dow bee m Jan 5, 1686-7, Daniel Bradley Jr, both of Haverhill, son of Daniel, immigrant, and Mary (Williams). Both were killed in the Indian massacre Mch 15, 1696-7·. At this time 37 in all were killed, mostly women and children. It is called the Dustin massacre, from Mrs Hannah Dustin, whose escape from captivity is one of the most remarkable and best known episodes in Colonial history. Children:

STEPHEN Dow bed, carpenter, lifelong resident of Haverhill, d June 17, 1743; appeared for the last time on the tax list Dec 10, 1741. The exact site of his house has not been determined, but

it must have been near, perhaps part of, his father's homestead, as Dec 5, 1723, he filed a petition for 5 additional acres "beyond Nicholas White's." This in 1720 was the extreme northeast edge of the settlement, land afterwards included in Salem, N H. He was 27 when the Dustin massacre occurred and was with his father in garrison 6. The Indians had a peculiar call, known to the colonists as "their whistle"; it was made by placing; both hands over the mouth. Stephen was the only man in Haverhill who learned to imitate it. He used it to set up ambuscades, but whether successfully o'r not does not appear in history. He took part in a number of Indian fights, some away from Haverhill. He m Dec 14, 1697, Mary Hutchins b Haverhill Mch 4, 1679, dau of Joseph and Johanna (Corliss), his step sister. She d Oct 29, 1734. Her father was on the muster roll of Capt John Osgood Mch 29, 1659, and in the company of Capt Edmund Moore Nov 2, 1659-60. Children:

Nathaniel Dow bedb, cooper of Salem, wa's at Crown Point 1762 and won a Lieutenant's commission from the King. He and his family anticipated the Revolution long before it came and were prepared for it. Nathaniel used his own funds to prepare troops and in 1775 was serving as a volunteer under Capt Henry Elkins in the hurried plans for the defense of Piscataway. His commission as Lieut from the Continen­tal Congress soon arrived, and he was later commissioned as Capt. All three commissions are preserved as family heirlooms. In spite of his age, he took the field, Capt Dearborn, Col Stark, and was Lieut under Col Welch at the Battle· of Bennington; was present at the surrender of Gen Burgoyne. Apparently, he sold what land grant he received under the act of 1.783, for no descendant appears as having such land.

Some Phineas Dow of Boston m Sept 2, 1804, Ann Wyman. No particular reason to think them identical; if so, it was 2nd m. The same Phineas Dow of Boston invented in 1810 a rather valuable machine for splitting leather. Many yt)ars ago a query in Boston Transcript for his parentage left an inference that he left posterity. In 1835 he was a machinist of Boston with store on Portland St. So far as we are concerned, he must be left untraced, except that he could not be far from Haverhill. Children:

Of them Mrs Ednah Dow Cheney writes: "-- how straight backed her grandfather was, and how venerable he looked with his long white hair, as he walked out of the church when the bass viol was brought in. He had a heart though like other men and fell in love with a gay young woman who delighted to tease him by performing the rites of baptism on the cats of the family. He prayed much over the question of marrying such an unregenerated young woman, but concluded it might prove for the good of her soul., and was greatly rejoiced when after her marriage she became regularly converted and joined his church."

Joseph and wife, both bereft by the Dustin massacre, had 9 children b Haverhill 1698 to 1718, Phoebe b June 25, 1705. Richard's first service was in the Indian campaign of 1746 under Capt John Goffe at Dover; 1758 enlisted as private, Capt John Hazzens, against Ticonderoga and distinguished himself at Crown Point. He gained a Lieut's commission from the Crown. He was one of the many who expected the Revolution and prepared for it, financially and otherwise. Thus, 3 sons and possibly the fourth were at Lexington. He himself took a captaincy, serving and instructing recruits at Great Island from Nov 5, 1775. In this company were ensign Jeremiah Dow bcdbed, his own son Asa as sgt, Percy Dow bcdbad, fifer, and Isaac Dow, private. The identity of this last is uncertain. Altho 70 years of age, Richard advanced all his money to the town to pay soldier bounties and equip troops, and was appointed to raise a new company for service in N Y State. His oldest son had been crippled at Bunker Hill, his 2nd already held a Lieutenancy. His 3rd son, Richard, was elected captain of the new company and his commission confirmed by the Continental Congress. The 4th son served throughout the war as sgt. This company was assigned to the regiment of Col Nathan Hale of Coventry, Conn. Richard himself retired to his Salem home; d Nov 17, 1786.

Reuben and wife settled 1761 in Hollis, NH, two years later buying the homestead still owned by his posteii_ty. This home beautifully located in as beautiful a village as there is in New Hampshire now contains all his Revolutionary relics. He entered at once the local militia company and was its 1st Lieut when Lexington w_as fought. The captain was temporarily incapacitated, so Reuben marched to Lexington as acting Capt. A month later he was commissioned Captain, the commission to Reuben Dow, gentleman, signed by Gen Joseph Warren, president pro tern of the Mass Provincial Congress. Hollis had been wide awake long in advance and the ordi'­narily peaceful militia had been carefully drilled for service. Nov 7, 1774, Dea Stephen Jewett, Ensign Stephen Ames and Lieut Reuben Dow were a committee to attend a county congress to arrange defense action. The town then adopted a resolution,-"that we will at all times endeavor to maintain our liberty and privileges, both civil and sacred, even at the risque of our lives and fortunes, etc." The march to Lexington was made on foot and after a few days the Hollis company returned home to prepare further for the next fight and await the call. This came quickly, so unexpectedly (so far as hours were concerned), thnt Reuben's little son Daniel was left to unyoke the oxen from the plough. Mrs Dow made an equal division of the blankets in her store room and her mess pork, one half going to the soldiers. The company marched 69 strong, all Hollis men, assigned on arival to Col Prescott's regiment. It was the second to arrive on the field at Bunker Hill and spent the night of June 16 digging trenches. Next day they were on the firing line. Reuben was struck in the right ankle by a bullet, which shattered the bone. Nevertheless, he made the retreat in good order with the troops.

On account of his disability he was continued for a short time on half pay, later reduced to quarter. In 1783 he was cited to appear before the State authorities to show cause why his pension should not be dis­contined. A large number of witnesses were examined concerning Reuben's ability to care for himself, and the verdict confirmed his pension for life. He d Feb 9, 1811; he and his wife buried in Hollis churchyard. The homestead with all its Revolutionary relics is now owned by Charles Jeremiah Bell bcdeabeaa. The last Dow of Hollis disappeared about 1915 altho some of them still live in Pepperell, Framingham and other nearby places. Reub~'s children:

Evan Dow bcdeaa was a private under his father at Bunker Hill There are four instances of a Dow grandfather, father and son being ir Revolutionary service at the same time. Evan reported sick Oct 6,

, 1775, with 2 mos, 22 days service to his credit. He re-enlisted, mustered out R I Aug 1778, Capt Dariiel Emerson, Col Moses Nichols, receiving £ 11-0-10. He was living 1785 in Deering, but may have come earlier. His family settled in Weare between 1792 and 1794, and Hist Weare depends much on hearsay about them. Hem (date and place not in rec) Sally Philbrick, dau of Jonathan and Beulah (Hardy). The genealogy prepared for Richard S Dow is hopelessly wrong about their children, and ·Hist Weare quite defective. Deering rec supply partial data. We reconcile contradictory statements as best we can:

farmer, and Sarah; untraced

to support the town military measures. When this money came back to him it mast have been in terms of Continental currency, soon dwind- · Jing to nothing. All four sons elected other permanent homes, altho the second returned to the old homestead three years after his father's death.

It would be remark­able for a commissioned officer to re-enlist as a private, but some Oliver Dow served 21 days in the R I campaign, Capt Daniel Emerson, Col Moses Nichols, mustered out Aug 1778 and we know of no other Oliver. About 1790 the family moved back from Hopkinton to Salem. Census gives him 3a, 2b, 4c. Ill health pursued him. In 1804 the town voted to abate his taxes until his health was better.

Richard Dow bcdec left four young children to march to Lexington; enlisted 1776 in Col Joshua Wingate's reg for Canadian service. Next year he was elected captain of the Salem company organized by his father and wy:.s attached to Col Nathan Hale's reg. After the war he settled in Bow, N H. An abler man of business than his brothers he accumulated considerable property; d 1798. Apparently d intestate. All family rec give him but four children.

Solomon Dow bccleca was.known as Capt, altho the title is not mentioned in his son's autobiography. He must be the Solomon who enlisted June 15, 1780, Capt Samuel Paine, l\iaj Benjamin ·whitcomb, for the defense of the westc,rn frontier, altho he was but 14. Hem Phoebe Buzzell of Bow, clau of Dea James, selectman, revolutionary veteran, subsequently capt of militia, certainly a follower of the church militant. Date of m not found; list of children from son's autobiography, does not tally with 1790 census, which gives a young son. He settled in Plainfield, N H, between 1795 and 1801, living on the "Plain'' in a house which has been torn clown but recently. He vrns a man of no small ability, combin­ing merchandising with his farming and having capital to lend. While in Plainfield he lost without apparent embarassment $1,600 by the failure of a local merchant. In 1811 he moved across the river to Hart­land, Vt, buying what was considered the finest place in town, a large white house on land sloping toward the ri,·er. It had a large upstairs room in which the masonic meetings were held, he being lodge master. In 1812 he made a horse back trip to Ohio to inspect living conditions and decided to take his family there. The outbreak of the war delayed his plan, especially as a son enlisted promptly, and fought throughout the

. war. In 1816 the family started toward Ohio, but halted for .the winter on the main Buffalo road nine miles west of Batavia. By spring he had decided to stay permanently and bought a cleared farm with the best log house in the region. An itinerant cooper once gained shelter at the house and was met ·with a proposition to stay, Solomon buying a new set of tools and backing the business. Becoming himself proficient, he always did more or less coopering. He cl of ague 1822, ae 56. While opportunities for education were limited, he had the highest idea of the value of it and impressed it on his children. All his daughters at one time or another taught school. "\Vhile at Batavia there occurred the myster­ious disappearance of one :i\Iorgan, who had written a book "exposing" masonry. It was widely believed he ha_d been kiiled by the masons. As Solomon was then lodge master, he found himself in something of a storm center. A national anti-masonic political party was started, which existed for several years. ·

Albert Gallatin Dow bcdecah, in some ways the most remarkable man mentioned in this Book, dafter preparations had been begun for the celebration of his 100th birthday, May, 1908. His father had been tall and lanky, he was but 5 feet, 4. He never had a sick day in his life until his last illnes~, and never missed a day from his office, vacations excepted, for over 50 years. He complained one afternoon of a little difficulty in breathing and decided to go to bed. Next day he died of the painless dissolution which is the normal end of human life, altho not occurring once in 10,000 cases: He had never taken any particular care of his health, never shirked unlimited work, never denied himself anything he was particularly-fond of, never used liquor, enjoyed cigars but abandoned smoking for ."the latter 75 years of my life." He always rose at 6' AM and devoted one to three hours to miscellaneous reading, seldom on any fixed plan or subject.

His schooling was the ordinary of the time. His father dying while he was yet young, . he had to go early to work. While at school two

daughters of ,vheaton :l\Iason attracted his attention. "I remember that Nancy's toes touched the floor but Lydia Ann's did not." Nancy became his 1st wife, Lydia Ann his 2nd. His early career was typical of the region and the time, coupled with a definite ambition to become a merchant. For his first farm work he received $6 a month, soon to be raised to $8, half cash, half notes. It was hard work, farming, for trees had to be felled and land cleared. '\Yith his savings of a year he rode to Ransom's Grove, where he had the promise of a clerkship in a general store, but he found the store closed by the sheriff the very day of his arrival. Instead of going back, he rode to Batavia, where Wheaton l'viason lived. Here he tended grocery store and harvested potatoes three miles away. On the side he learned the shoe trade so that a year later he felt competent to go into business for himself. He moved with the l\Iasons to Silver Creek, where :I\Iason bought a hotel and he began a shoe and leather jobbing business. He soon took a year off to learn the tannery business. Oct +, 1829, he m Freelove (Nancy) .Mason, whose mother was Octavia Belden and whose stepmother was his sister Sarah. He bought a house at once and was ne,·er thereafter without a home of his own and a reasonable amount of land nearby. At Silver Creek he was tax collector, constable and justice of the peace. In middle life he was an assemblyman and for 2 years state senator, refusing a re-election which would interfere with his business. In 1840 he took his first railroad journey, going by stage to Syracuse to make better time. The track was of strap iron laid on timbers. The train was off the track two or three times before it got to Albany, but the passengers alighted and pushed it back on again. At Albany hill a rope was tied to the train, which was thus pulled up the incline by a stationary engine. From Albany he proceeded to New York by steamboat.

He started various stores, generally with an agent to conduct erlch. He sold his dry goods store in East Randolph to his brother Amos. StoYes were a noYelty and to his mind presented great possibilities. He bought in New York and, as the Erie R R to Randolph was abandoned just about ·that time, he established wagon routes for deliveries over several counties .. · Currency was scarce in the southerly counties; he gave long credit and secured as long, so it became necessary to add a banking business to his other activities. He was extending credit all the way to Pittsburgh. His own bank in Randolph was opened in 1860, and three· years later he abandoned his merchandising. He subsequently controlled the National Chatauqua Co Bank and became a stockholder in many other financial institutions. He was a leading spirit in the Chatauqua· movement. A Universalist, he attended the Congregational church and generally taught a Bible class. His 1st wife dying Aug 21, 1847, hem 2nd, Apr 26, 1850, Lydia Ann 1\lason d June 11, 1891. Chil­dren:

Here he learned the shoemaker's trade and tanning; then joined his brother in Silver Creek, buying a tannery and establishing a general store. He did well, and in 1854 bought from his brother the dry goods store of East Randolph. This he conducted until 1880. In 1872 he entered the banking business also, buying out the Thomas J Chamberlain Bank. In 187 4 he bought the present bank building in East Randolph. To the private banking house of Amos Dow he admitted his son Charles as partner. The latter soon sold out to Seth W Thompson, and the firm became Dow & Thompson until 1881, when Amos bought out the Thompson interest. The business was then bought by the People's State Bank, of which Amos became a large stock­holder. His only political office was as supervisor. Universalist, whig, later republican.

THE BOOK OF DOW 669

Charles Dow bcdecaid entered Williams College, but stayed only a few weeks. His business career was varied and in many places, but never long in any one thing and ever restless. From college he went to Detroit with Warren Dow, his cousin, engaging in wire cloth manu­facturing, screens and hardware. He soon returned to East Randolph and entered the banking house of his father, first as cashier, then as partner. Two yearvater he sold out and went to Minnesota, where he had interests in wheat elevators, junior partner of Hurd & Dow. His next move was operating a spice mill in Detroit, with a wholesale tea, coffee and spice business on the side. He sold this out and again joined Warren Dow as Dow & Co, B'radford, Pa, then center of the oil industry. He next under­took business v~ntures in Florida and Cuba until 1878, when he returned · to Bradford and became an oil producer. This lasted six years, then he came back to East Randolph as cashier for Amos Dow, but resigned 18881

succeeded by his brother Rollin. In 1882 he and Rollin had started the banking house of Dow Bros, Richburg, and bought 300 acres of oil bearing land, which developed sorrie good and profitable wells. He was for a time in the oil business in Warren, Pa. After leaving his father's bank he went to N Y City, becoming a bookkeeper, then asst cashier in the Gansvoort Bank, but in 1889 abandoned this, going to Michigan to care for his father's business interests. He was back in N Y City by 1891 with a position in the Bell Telephone Co. He later returned to East Randolph, where he now lives. He never married.·

Much more difficult to trace. has been the posterity of the younger children of Capt Richard Dow bctlec, the fourth child buying land located in Hinesburg, Vt, already the. home of the adacea Dow family. The chief difficulty lay in the family Bible of Isaiah Dow bcdecd, wherein his birth date did not coincide with the Bow official rec. When the 1850 census was consulted, it was found to agree and prove the family Bible wrong.

Betty Dow bcdecb m Nov 24, 1786, Peter Manwell, Revolutionary veteran and pioneer of Jericho, Vt. It seems that some member or members of the family visited Vt soon after 1783, selected the land and possibly made plans for staying. It is probable that Betty had children.

Olli Dow bcdecc probably did not locate in Vt until she went there with her brother. Shem Richmond Aug 6, 1815, Jesse Gloyd of Jericho. No children, she was his 2nd wife.

Isaiah Dow bcdecd, clothier, from the time of his marriage never lived ~ore than five years in one place. He d Duxbury, Vt, Mch 11, 1826; m 1798 Abigail Messer of Piermont, NH, b 1781, d Sept 13, 1863. The family came to Hinesburg between 1807 and 1809. Census 1850 shows 7 children. A family rec insists there were 10. A grandson says 9,

In Jericho at this time were several Dow b Canada, all farm laborers, probably none of any American family. These were,-Joseph Dow ae 65, Mary Dow ae 55, perhaps his wife; James ae 35, Joseph ae 28, perhaps their children; Joseph ae 28 (evidently a different Joseph).

Andrew Dow bcdecdb is stated to have lived once in Londonderry, NH, probably in childhood. He was permanently located in Johnson, Vt, by 1832. His father had bought a cloth dressing plant in So Duxbury and died owing $800 on it. Young Andrew worked until he had paid off this debt, then bought a woolen mill. This was successful and was operated by his son and grandson, the firm finally being I and J G Dow. He was for several years judge of probate for Lamoille Co. In 1882 he was retired, living in Hinesburg. He d Oct 25, 1882; m May 1830 Mary Gloyd d Apr 29, 1851, dau of Jesse. She seems to be his sister's step dau. He m 2nd Dec 17, 1840 (sic in rec; 1860?)

Isaiah Dow bcdecdba d Hyde Park Oct 3, 1895. In 1887 he wrote to Edgar R Dow, stating that his father was one of nine children. Achsah Lorenzo and Lewis L not being included. Our other informant is apparently wrong and these three are probably members of adacea. Isaiah gives names of his aunts, in addition to those stated previously, as Orpha, Olla and Lavina. Nothing has been learned of their careers. Isaiah, woolen manufacturer, m Feb 1, 1855, Sarah Newland, by whom 2 children; 2nd Dulcena Benedict, dau of Levi Franklin and Olla V (Manwell).

Jonah Dow bcdedg. The original ms, professionally prepared, gave Jonah as going to Maine, having nine children, then going west, but not mentioning any children, dismissing the line. Now, a wise prophet is soon forgotten, but a man thrown overboard as a trouble maker lives long. Any victim named Jonah has a right to change his name. There was in Haverhill a John Dow of just the right age, belonging surely, to th,ifb lines, who went late in life to Portland, Me, and who had exactly nine. children.

DAVID Dow bcdg. A posterity of any of the three younger sons of Stephen Dow bed has been difficult to trace. In all the genealogical efforts previous to that of the present Author,

the lines have been dismissed after the bare collection of such vital sta­tistics as survive in Salem, Methuen and Plaistow. No direct descendant was found in forty years of search. Every item of the lines bcdg, bcdh and bcdi was dug out by the present Author. The vital statistics of Haverhill were well kept from the beginning, but from about 1740 that part of old Haverhill which became other towns, containing almost all the homes of Dows of the b line, was very poorly managed. The records of Methuen are less than 50 per cent complete. Not 25 per cent of o]Ji Salem records are extant, if ever made. The vital data of Plaistow were copied from one book to another and such wholesale errors in dates, names and other particulars were made that one doubts even the good faith of the copyist.

Nothing of bcdg would ever have been found, had not the Author obtained the mass of old letters which Edgar R Dow had been unable to identify. Among them were two from a very old man of Canterbury, N B, written in 1885. The ink was home made and faded almost to illegibility. The writer showed that at one time his knowledge of his family was great but forgetfulness and confusion had attacked his mind. He dwelt upon the names David and Enoch, but occasionally transposed them. However, they were father and son. He mentioned Majorfield as their home before coming to Canterbury. Both names were favorites in the family in every later generation. There were discrepancies in the narrative, many pages long, which at first seemed unsurmountable when the Author took as a working hypothesis that David was the missing bcdg. So, the Author began a series of letters, one to every person named Dow who could be found in New Brunswick. Finally, in 1924 one of these reached William Segee Dow of Old Town,, Me, who had from boyhood taken deep interest in the progeny of David, but who had not even hoped to find out who David was. The correspondence following has been constant. The Author gave his hypothesis with every scrap of information bearing upon it. Thereupon W S Dow revisited Canterbury, redoubled his efforts, revised every paper obtain­able, searched the memory of every elderly kin, recopied every grave stone. David's grandsons had themselves been interested in finding out who they were genealogically. Another letter was found written by one of them, in which the statement was clear that Enoch was son of David and had a brother Nith and a brother William. This is proof of identity, when one refers back to the Plaistow records. Nith is a UI}ique _/wme. William is found to be not a brother but the orphaned nephew' of David and cousin of Enoch. Finally, the birth date of Enoch

THE BOOK OF DOW 689

of Plaistow coincides with that given in his death record. From this start, little by little, we have been able to reconstruct David and his entire posterity, a most important happening for this Book, because his pos­terity is by far the largest of any Dow and is probably not exceeded by any man in this country. It is not often that a man has fourteen chil­dren and one of his sons has seventeen, almost all surviving to procreate another generation.

Let usliasten to the reconstruction. David Dow m Jan 28, 1736-7, ~bigail Kelley, both of Salem. Next entry is: Mary, wife of David Dow, d Salem Jan 1, 1743. Abigail Dowd Salem Dec 29, 1743. David Dow, yeomarr of Methuen, m Salem Apr 10, 1744, Mary Brown b Jan 9, 1725-6, dau of Caleb of Bradford and Elizabeth. There were c:llildren by both wives. By referring to the birth records of the children,

, it is easy to see that Mary, wife of David, is a clerical error in re-copying for Abigail Kelley Dow, and that David promptly remarried. Of the children three have parents specified in rec:

a Abigail, dau of David and Abigail, b Salem Sept 12, 1737; presumably d Dec 29, 1743

b Hannah b Sept 4, 1740. A land mark near the mouth of St John's River is Dow's Hill, said by legend to be named for some Hannah Dow (confirmatory of the Port Arthur Settlement of 1761-2?)

c Mary, dau of David and Abigail, b Dec 17, 1743; must have din infancr1 as a younger sister is also Mary. Apparently her birth cost her mother's lite

Jan 1, 1844. Alternative presumption is that Mary accompanied he.r parents to N B

g Elizabeth b Apr 20, 1753

Localities prove that the family lived in Salem up to 1753. It then disappears until 1770, date of birth of a grandson to David. Family tradition gives the place as l\fajorfield, but we do not believe Majorfield was founded until about 1783. No evidence that David served in the French wars, in which three of his brothers gained distinction. In 1776 some David Dow of Cumberland, N S, receipted in Boston for pay 1 mo, 5 days, Capt Jabez West, Col. Jonathan Eddy. This company was raised mostly in NB and Nova Scotia, and age almost precludes that the enlister was our David. In the same company was a John Dow, unknown to us, hailing from St John. Probably a member of the g Dow family. It is interesting to note that the Canadian coast furnished about an equal proportion of Federal sympathisers as the 13 colonies furnished tories.

Unmistakable family tradition says that David came to N B from N,ewbur,yport. In 1785 he was living in New Brunswick, an avowed tory, as w(tfi:l·all his neighbors. It was in Newburyport, then, the sea port for all the Haverhill region, that David learned of lands beyond seas, lands which could be had, not for the asking, merely for the pre­empting. Two of his sons were Canadian-born according to tradition.

690 THE BOOK OF DOW

It is not impossible that David was more or less at home there as early as 1772. Nevertheless, he might have been of Berwick, Me, in 1776 (cf bcdgg). The great influx of former tories to NB came in 1783, a single expedition. In 1785 surely David was of Majorfield, a pioneer in a region of rich timber alongside the St John River and much below Canterbury. Many of his companions later came to found Canterbury, all well known Mass Bay names, all tories. We believe that David, who knew the N B coast from 1772, led the party to Majorfield. He was elderly when he d there, a tree which he was chopping falling upon him. Q,uriously, his grandson David years later was killed under exactly the same circumstances. One account has it that Majorfield was abandoned between 1785 and 1788, but this seems error. In 1796 land in that county was granted to William Dow, whom we identify as the orphan bcdlid, In 1815 land near where Canterbury now is was granted to William Dow. This entry we do not understand for bcdhd never went to Canterbury but returned to US in 1803. Most likely the 1815 date is wrong and that bcbhd got that land prior to 1803 and quit-claimed it to his cousin. The Majorfield colony had a hard time. All the clearing and the homes were close to the River. The industry was in floating timber to tidewater and selling it. Three times the Spring freshets assumed great proportions and swept away all the homes in Majorfield. Thereupon the colonists became utterly discouraged. Nith Dow, William Dow and others returned across the border. Enoch Dow bcdgd decided to remain and formulated a plan to move upstream to a safer shore and used for his purpose the Canter bury land grant. A dozen or so families went with him. They built a large flat boat and poled it up the river. The forest was trackless and so remained many years. The migration was in 1803,-this date is positive. About 100 miles north they stopped and chose the right bank for the new settlement. Some years later Dow's Settlement was founded across the stream and about 4 miles higher up. Still another 4 miles up the Lane was settled, another Dow home.

Enoch Dow bcdgd had a wife Ruth, m before 1770. There was no clue to her identity, but Sally Hull, Enoch's great granddaughter, who had lived with her grandfather, maintained that she had known who Ruth was but had forgotten. As Mrs Hull was over 90, this is not strange. W S Dow, trying to jog her memory, ran over various names until he came to Norton. A John Norton was a pioneer of 1803 and was the first to be buried in what is now the great Dow Cemetery. The second interment therein was David Dow, killed by a falling tree, while he was clearing the Sullivan Creek hill road. Mrs Hull brightened. Surely, the missing Ruth was Ruth Norton, John's sister, both pioneers from the States. /'

,: Almost the first act of the settlers was to build a church and lay out thlDow Cemetery, which is about a quarter mile below. With few

THE BOOK OF DOW 691

exceptions every one now in this large cemetery was a Dow by birth or marriage and in 1926 it was planned to double its size. Enoch Dow was a Baptist and every descendant was of that denomination, with only three exceptions,-who turned Mormon and went to Utah. Enoch and sons did most of the building of the new church and Enoch Jr was its lay minister for years. Enoch was a lumberman both at Majorfield and Canterbury. That was the only wealth-giving occupation of the region. He d Sept 23, 1813. He was outspoken as a tory, altho 2 of l:ii,s uncles and 8 cousins had careers as fighters on the Federal side. Some Enoch Dow enlisted 1776 for the Canadian campaign. Some Enoch Dow was a pJivate at Winter Hill 1777. If these are not our Enoch, we do. not know wpo they were. It is quite possible that both were our Enoch, who later recanted. If so, he never in after-years admitted service.

There is a homogeneity of the enormous posterity of Enoch Dow worth noting, the family being by far the largest of any Dow and perhaps the largest in America. It is rare that a man should have 14 children, almost all maturing, and that one of those children should have 17, almost all producing a posterity. There is not a single instance in this posterity of death from tuberculosis or cancer. Average longevity is remarkably great, but a majority become almost crippled from rheu­matism in old age.

Moses I?ow, a grandson, gave the first list of children in 1885 and. from this the Author arranged his letter key. Moses declared that Jesse was 1st born in Majorfield 1770. William S Dow in 1926 found Jesse's tombstone, whieh gave 1772 as birthdate and found that John b 1770 was 1st born. We have not changed the letter key and one other pair of children does not accord with William's recent discovery. However, the text is perfect and the children:

b John b 1770; d 1832 a Jesse b 1772; d 1867 c David, d unm, 1773-1794 (gravestone rec) d Amos m Anna Teed. Jesse m her sister Mary. This name appears in the

various generations as Tid, Tidd, Teed, etc. It is rightly Tidley. Sal­averas Tidley, their father, was a Rev veteran who had an eye shot out in battle. In spite of his sinister appearance, he managed to have very comely daughters

f Mary b 1778; d 1843; m Amos Brooks g Rhoda b 1786; d 1877; m John Porter h Ester m --Watson 1 Ruth m -- Estey j Hannah m David Phillips; was not the youngest

A reading of the galley proofs of this Book by members of the Canterbury family and others has provoked a lively search into the political opinions of the pioneers, as well as the origin of the various fam­ilies of early ~w Brunswick. It is a majority verdict that Enoch Dow was nclt so,.m.uch of a tory, after all. Moreover, the Author clings to his original opinion that Enoch saw service in the Federal Army.

There is no way of knowing what families accompanied Enoch from Majorfield to Canterbury. It is certain that the Nortons came with

692 THE BOOK OF DOW

him.. The Majorfield party had to scatter rather widely, as Enoch's land grant was a large one. It had about two miles on the river front and extended about 3-1-4 miles inland. This tract was divided by Enoch among his sons and they, in turn, divided among all their sons. The Nortons, who were never tories, were their nearest neighbors. The Teeds sprang from a Federal soldier. They and the Dickinsons settled in Lower Woodstock. The Brooks family pioneered Southhampton; the Phillips Northhampton on the east side of the river. The Kearneys took land in Northhampton; the Ways and the Hillmans in Temple, four miles below. The Tompkins, in spite of name, were a German family and came later, as did the Lutwicks. The original Hartley farm was in Southharnpton. The Marstons of Canterbury descended from a BPitish soldier of 1812. The Yerxas settled at Kesewick, 20 miles from Frede~icton. The Cronkites were of Lower Southhampton; the Porters of Lower Woodstock.

William Segee Dow, whose knowledge of early New Brunswick history is profound, disagrees with the Author on the whereabouts of David Dow's family on various dates. There was a settlement, he explains, by Newburyport people at Port Arthur (now St John) as early as 1761-2, and David was among them. He asserts that Enoch was married in Majorfield · and his 1st born was there in 1770. He thinks the family were American sympathizers, altho after the war it was more politic to display tory convictions. The first tories from the States came in 1783 and the influx lasted several years. ·

Asa and Moses Dow, grandsons of Enoch, thought that Majorfield was abandoned and Canterbury founded about 1783, the Dows squatting there for some years. Surely David Dow 2nd died 1794 in Canterbury. His gravestone is legible now. Solomon Dow was born Canterbury 1802, Jesse Dow married there bef9re that date. The gravestone of John Norton is not extant, but he was the first to be buried in Dow Cemetery, the date being 1794 or previously.

Jesse Dow bcdgda,, farmer and lumberman, is, of course, bur Dow Cemetery, his stone giving 1772-1867. Mary Tidley, his wife, appears as Tid, b Mch 25, 1782, d Canterbury Mch 27, 1869. Beyond doul:>t he had more lineal descendants at his funeral than any other Dow in history, altho Phoebe (Green) Dow, Quaker, d ac 102, with 250 surviving descen­dants. Moses Dow, Jesse's son, in 1885 gave the list of children and the details as given below:

It may be remembered that at this time the British government suddenly withdrew its preferential tariff on luwber i✓favor of its colonies. Scandinavian lumber then poured in, bankruptiig many of the strongest firms of New Brunswick. The bbbfa Dow family were thus reduced from millionairedom to ruin. Jacob

Enoch Dow bcdgdba was easily successor to his father in ability and influence, the local magistrate for many years. He served as Capt in the Aroostook war of 1839 and his name is found in the Me official roster, altho he was always a Canadian of Canterbury. He m Mary (Molly) Jane Phillips d Canterbury Oct 18, 1875. Enoch was a stern magistrate and shared the intense religiousness of his father and grand­father, that type which seems to delight in regarding all pleasure as sin, and consequently his home was not a joyous place. One of his sons, unable to endure home life, ran away in early manhood and remained unheard-of for eighteen years. Enoch regarded his loss as a direct visitation of Providence rebuking him for his unworthiness, but it is not recorded that his home life became less stern. His children:

a Charles M 1829-1874; m Lydia Dickinson b Jan_e m Alexander Kearney c John We,sley m Hattie Tibbetts d Maria m William Marston. One notes all through the bcdg line the tend~ncy

toward intermarriage with original Canterbury families,-very str,iking among members living far away from the old home. Half the marriages in this entire family are confin,ed to a score of other families

After the birth of a son John wrote home and soon after revisited Canterbury. A calf of considerable degree of fattedness was killed; Enoch enjoyed grandfatherdom and the two younger children were born in Canterbury. During school days the family lived in Boothbay. In middle life John bought a farm in West Branch, near Bay City, Mich, doing something in lumber business. For some reason not apparent his oldest son ran away from home and re­mained incommunicado for many years. His father deemed this a Divine rebuke for his own earlier sin. In 1887 he wrote to Edgar R Dow giving the salient facts of his own family. Children:

Asa Dow bcdgdbe carried his religious fervor to an uncomfortable degree; a highminded man according to his lights but dictatorial and quite unbearable at home and elsewhere. His wife Irene Hartley soon left him; thereafter he devoted six days a week to money-making and became quite wealthy for his time and place; owned saw mills and grist mills at Eel River (now Meductic), conducted large lumbering interests. As he could not carry his money with him, he built and endowed the Asa Dow wing of Fredericton Hospital.

One nyfy easily realize that along the western border of New Bruns­wick over,,two-thirds of the population is closely akin with the posterity of Enoch Dow bcdgd.

722 THE BOOK OF DOW

I~ the great mass of unconnected Dow data in possession of the Author there were many originating from N B, Most of these have slowly been proven and placed in order, but some remain and are placed here, index key letters for convenience. There have been almost no Bow immigrants to N B since 1800; all Dow in the Province seem either of the bcdgd line, bbbfa or the g Dow family spreading toward Me from Nova Scotia. . John Dow bcdgdk. A careful investigation in 1926 by W S Dow

perhaps settles the question of the origin of this family, which before 1860 came to live at Carrol Ridge, about four miles back from Canterbury sta: toward McAdam Jc. Neighbors who have lived there longest say that its founder was a John Reardon, Irishman, who for reasons not known to us took the name Dow. At all events, it was as John Reardon Dow that hem Rebecca McLaughlin. How much of a family they had we do not knew. A son presumably b about 1835 was named for him. John Reardon Dow Jr m Eliza Webberly. She was a Canterbury girl and her identity is not hidden by the rec which gives Wobbly. Both these Dow were professional hunters and trappers. Well acquainted in Canterbury, the next generation married for the most part members ~f familfes identified with its original settlers. The many children are now widely scattered:

a Henry m Celeste Dow bcdgdaac. The Harry Dow whom Hope Dow bcdgdeafo seems to be their son

Elizabeth Dow bcdgg. Some Elizabeth Dow m Berwick, Me, May 19, 1776, by Rev Jacob Foster, Robert Brawn. This name is correct, altho it also appears in rec as Brown and Bran. As already stated, we doubt much whether David Dow bcdg went permanently to New Bruns­wick as early as 1776. We know of no other Elizabeth of an age to fit this rec. Brawn is a very uncommon name; it occurs once more, an intermarriage with a Dow of this line in Canterbury, N B. It is quite possible that the bcdg family were of Berwick and that some Brawn, perhaps Robert and wife, were of the party which founded Majorfield, N B. Cf bcdg narrative. The Quaker Dow line of adab reached Berwick early and some Dow family reached Parsonfield, not yet identified.

Jonathan Dow bcdh, yeoman of Plaistow, m Haverhill July 8, 17 45, Mary Haseltine b Feb 16, 1723-4, dau of Jonathan Jr and Mary (Simons). Plaistow rec of his d gives 1769, a copyist's error for 1759. Jonathan deeded land Apr 12, 1759; administration papers granted Dec 25, 1759, to Samuel Kimball of Plaistow, a kinsman, who was appointed guardian of his childrJ;U. Wid Mary received h.er thirds Jan 22, 1762. Plaistow rec give al}'the children:

a Mary b Jan 6, 1746 b Phoebe b Feb 5, 1749 or Jan 28, 1748. Many hundred similar errors appear in

the duplication of Plaistow rec o Nathan b Oct 20, 1751 d William b Feb 18, 1755

726 THE BOOK OF DOW

Nathan Dow bcdhc. There is no proof whatever regarding the lives of the four half orphaned children of bcdh. No marriages of the two girls are found in the well kept Haverhill rec. As for Nathan we can only guess. Some Nathan enlisted at Woburn in 7th company1 Col Thomas Nixon, receipted for pay Feb 14, 1777, to May 4, 1778, and was in service Mch 3, 1779. Some Nathan enlisted at Danvers, ae 28, 5 feet, 8, ruddy, and receipted for pay July 9, 1780, to Jan 6, 1781. Nathan Dow enlisted at Danvers, but was 4 years younger. This might be a very minor error. No dates conflict and t.he three may be identical. The pension list shows a Na than Dow of N H in 1820, no particulars.

William Dow bcdhd. No room for doubt of the identity of the William Dow pioneer of Majorfield, N B, grantee of land 1793. The family narrative is clear that, after the disastrous freshet of 1802, Wil­liam and his cousin Nith hedge returned to "the States." Absolutely no trace further. In 1802 there was only one State where an American could get land for the squatting and not encounter vital statistics. That is Me. We guess that William and Nith settled in Me and may have had posterity. Many disconnected Dow were in Me from 1761 onward.

Stephen Dow bcdi, corporal under Capt John Hazzens, was at Crown Point 1758 in 'same company as his brothers Nathaniel and Richard; m Hannah Shepard, presumably dau of Lieut Samuel and Judith (Currier) of Amesbury. Presumably their whole lives were spent in Plaistow, but they get no mention except in b rec of children:

style dating does not apply here. They say the Mormons have a practice of baptizing folks after they are dead. This unique instance of baptizing an infant eleven months before birth is to be credited to some town clerk of Plaistow who has long since gone to his reward.

Martha Dow bee became 2nd wife May 17, 1697, of Josiah Gage, son of John and Anna, whose 1st wife was Lydia Ladd, dau of Daniel and Lyfl-i-a (Singletary). Lydia d childless Aug 14, 1796.

John Dow bcfi, many years magistrate of Haverhill, was an original grantee of Goffstown, N H, but does not appear to have ever lived there himself, the property going to his son Job. He d Haverhill Jan 20, 1780; m June 3, 1728, Mehitable Haines b Jan 25, 1709, d Atkinson, Oct 23, 1783, dau of Thomas and Hannah (Harriman), granddau of Thom­as Haynes of Amesbury, whose posterity has intermarried many times with Dow. A statement in a genealogical periodical, which seems com­plete error so far as Dow is concerned: John Dow m a dau b 1711 of John and Sarah (Harriman) Johnson of Haverhill. This couple and five daughters, all of whom married men named John, all being magistrates of Haverhill. These were John Johnson, John Morrill, John Webster, John Dow, and John Gage, widely known as the five Johns.

followed the pursuit through family Bible after family Bible. Vt statistics are so imperfect that they do not give over a third of the material herein. About 20 per cent have been added by the efforts of the present Author.

Moses Dow bcfih inherited his full share of the abilities of his father and grandfather, both magistrates of Haverhill; grad Harvard 1769, studied law. By 1774 he had located in Haverhill, NH, of which his brother Abraham was an or1i.ginal grantee. Moses certified to the list of Revolutionary soldiers from the place, adding that the town was not yet organized. He practiced law, helped organize the town, was for many years selectman. He fought long, locally and in the Legislature, to abolish the tax on all citizens to pay the minister's salary, holding that church merµ'bers should do this without compulsion to outsiders. He was the second. postmaster of Haverhill and for 30 years Register of Probate. He served as Major General of militia and as Gen on the Governor's staff. He was always subsequently known by this title. For many years

judge of the court of common pleas. He was appointed to Congress 1784 but declined. Elected to the State Senate, he was its president 1791; later ran for Congress but was defeated.

He had a large farm 2 1-2 miles north of Haverhill Corner. His house was a large colonial structure, the finest for many miles around. Its dining room fireplace had a crane over 12 feet long and a child, standing in it, could see the sky. The house was burned 1900. A picture of it, and a sketch of Moses Dow is in Granite State Monthly Jul}::-Sept 1918. He was an organizer and large stockholder in the bridge built across the Connecticut and was identified with almost all local enterprises; an incorporator of Haverhill Academy, receiving A M from Dart~outh 1785.

Moses Dow bcfihd studied law with his father; admitted to bar 1800; succeeded his father as Register of Probate and was postmaster, but removed by President Jackson. He figured in a widely gossiped breach of promise suit brought by a Miss Bell, in which the unrebu.ked statement was made in court: "Dow appears pretty well and generally has a ruffled shirt on, but it isn't always clean."

James B Dow bcfiheb went early to Boston and learned the printing trade; m Mary McBirney, who survived him, He gained control of the Christian Witn~ss, an Episcopalian paper. It was in his emp1oy that his brother, Moses A, conceived the idea of the Waverley magazine. James soon opened a store on Washington St, specializing in religious books. Beginning to dabble in real estate, he accumulated a fortune, sold out and traveled extensively. He d June 1878, of paralysis, leaving over $150,000 to his wid for life, then to pass to some charity of her selection. No children:

Moses A Dow bcfihec d Charlestown, Mass, June 22, 1886; came to Boston 1829; worked in his brother's printing shop, becoming fore­man. The plant was small, his wages necessarily low, and he was not able to save much in 11 years. In 1850 he decided to start the Waverley magazine. For a few numbers it had many vicissitudes, barely keeping alive, from lack of capital, but before the end of its first year was well established. Its original idea was novel; his contributions were solicited from amateurs who wished to see themselves in print, even from school boys and girls. He figured that such material would cost him nothing and that friends of the contributors would buy enough magazines to make it pay. His judgment was correct. The Waverley is full of first effusions of writers who subsequently became more or less well known. It was helped much by contributions of George William Curtis, a cousin of the publisher. After the magazine was widely known, Moses employed an editor of standing to pass on contributions and build up its intellectual tone. He soon found, however, that rejected contributions hurt busineftS. He discharged the editor and re-adopted most of his origi&al idea. Upon this, the circulation, which had been cut by more than half, rose again, and all was well. Its circulation became (then unprecedented) 60,000, seldom falling below 50,000 copies. He sold out and the new owners soon failed. With the proceeds he built a fine

Copies of the whole line were sent by the Author to Wi~iam L Dow and Moses H Dow, both prominent shoe manufacturers of Haverhill, with earnest requests for family information, but no reply was ever received. Hist Haverhill, N H, mentions James casually as. being there in 1790, but it was probably a passing visit.

THAT a Dow immigrant into Connecticut before 1664 existed has long been known, his name and marriage mentioned by all the classic pioneers in American Genealogy. It is only recently a

discovery that he had a posterity in the male line. Savage, Genealogical Dictionary, mentions Samuel Dow of Hartford m Dec 12, 1665, Mary, dau--of first George Graves of Hartford. Hinman, Connecticut Settlers, gives: Samuel Dowd 1690 and it explains the identity of George Graves, called first or senior to distinguish him from another of the same name in Hartford. George Graves, Hartford 1649, townsman, deputy in 1646, was in tbti land division 0(1639; left children:

a John b Josiah c -- dau m -- Deming i'

d Mary m -- Dow e Priscilla m -- Marcum

Samuel Dow c was a sailor, impecunious. Many such were on ships coming to America before 1700 and some remained here. How Samuel met and succeeded in marrying the dau of a very substantial Hartford citizen can only be surmised. He was home about the end of 1671, was at sea 1672-4. After that he may have settled down; he d June 2, 1690, in his Hartford home. That he had more than one child is evident from some court proceedings: A Generall Courte Held at Hartford Oct 8, 1674: Mary Dowe of Hartforde, informeing this Court that her hus­band being gone to sea and not being heard of for nearly two yeares, and leaving her destitute of supplyes necessary for the mayntenance of herself and children, she is fallen into debt and knowes not how to pay the same without it be by the sale of her house and Iott, and therefore desired thie Court to empower her so to doe,-the Court considering the permises doe see good reason to grant her desire, and doe accordingly give her full power to grant, bargain and sell the sayd house and Iott, apd her deed therein shall be esteemed good and valid in the law.

It is sure, then, that Samuel had little of his own and was more or less of a rolling stone. It is sure that he had "children." Only 1 is proved. There may have been more than 2:

a Sarah, the daughter of goodwife Dow (bapt) (Second Church, Hartford) ffebry 2, 1672. What became of her is unknown

b Edmund (based on evidence to follow, presumably b considerably later)

Edt~p.md Dow cb is known only by rec of a son: / a 6eorge hap (2nd church) Aug 7, 1720, son to Edmund Dow. li this was an -,

· infant baptism, Edmund was surely very mature in 1720

At this point all proof of connection ends. We know that the

'l'HE BOOK OF DOW 749

Connecticut Dows of early times were the brothers ahc, ahd and ahg, who came about 1715 and had large posterity. These lines have been so well studied that an overlooked member in Connecticut before 1775 is extremely improbable. There is a temptation, then, to place any unknown Dow of Connecticut in the c family. This is dangerous to accuracy, for little by little all such are found to be members of the a or b families ~d come from other New England states. Unless there was an immigrant Dow unknown, there are two families which still must be regarded as c.

Henry M Stiles, Ancient Wethersfield, has dug up so many Dows there that it ;eems impossible that they should be a or b people. To accommodate them, we suppose that the baptism of George Dow cha was as an adult. By such supposition, dates fit much better. We further . suppose that George Dow cba settled in Wethersfield and had at least 1 child:

a Edmund b 1728 (this from his d rec)

Edmund Dow cbaa d Wethersfield Mch 3, 1786, ae 58; m Dec 9, 1750, Sarah Sillman (that this name is really Stillman is argued from rec of a grandson (below). She is surely the wid Sarah Dowd Wethersfield Feb 21, 1800, ae 71. Wethersfield rec includes all their family:

a Charles b Apr 25, 1751 b Helen b Deel 1752 c Sarah b Apr 9, 1754; presumably the Sally ~w, adult, bap Wethersfield

May 30, 1781 d Edmonde b Jan 1, 1756 e Polly. This is a guess to account for some Polly Dow of Wethersfield m Apr

22, 1779, Samuel Skinner of Hartford

To account for the next, we must presume that Charles Dow cbaaa had a family in Wethersfield:

a Samuel hap Wethersfield Mch 15, 1795 (two years after his marriage)

Samuel Dow cbaaaa m Wethersfield Dec 12, 1793, Abigail Buckley. Children, town rec:

a Samuel hap Jan 17, 1795; apparently din infancy b Samuel Stillman (cf Stillman cbaa above) hap Feb 28, 1796. That he grew up

and m is argued from the fact that Sarah Dow, wife of Samuel, ba p May 6, 1821

Edmonde Dow cbaad seems to Stiles to be the father of at least 3: b Huldah c Charlie, hap together Apr 29, 1781

To guess further regarding identities of Wethersfield Dows is wild · and is, done 911ly for convenience in indexing.

750 THE BOOK OF DOW

There was in Huntington, L I, from as early as 1761 at least one considerable Dow family, the individuals of which are as yet uncon­nectible with each other or with any line. It may be well to place them in the c line, with letter keys for indexing:

Joseph Dow cbba, ae 48, enlisted in Sea Fencibles from Huntington; he and Jacob appear in the list of refugees to Conn when the British over­ran the island.

-:Jacob Dow cbbb signed the Association Test Huntington May 8, 1775.

Jacob Dow cbbc, hardly possibly identical, appears in 1790 census of Huntington la, 2b, 2c. If he had sons older and was identical, it would follow:

a Philip; known only from 1790 Huntington census, la, le b Samuel b presumably 1770 or before

Samuel Dow cbbcb m Huntington Apr 5, 1792, by Rev Joshua Hartt, Elizabeth (5) Burr b Commack about July 3, 1773, dau of Isaac and Mary (Baldwin). They moved to Elizabeth, N J. She was a devout Presbyterian; d Jan 3, 1858, ae 82, 6 mos. Only child:

a Maryb 1796

Mary Dow cbbcba d Mch 20, 1866; m -- Dayton; 2nd Havilah Smith Halsey d Newark June 21, 1868. She was prominent in founding the Foster Home in Newark. No children. Cf Halsey Gen p 219.

Conn rosters contain Dow names which from localities suggest strongly c identities. So far, no living Dow has been found belonging to the line, but one cannot think it extinct. It is quite possible that the Huntington Dows did not return after 1783 but remained in Conn.

Henry Dow cca (this and subsequent lettered for convenience), no place given, served I week 1813.

Samuel Dow (Capt), no place, under Col Jared Strickland I mo, 8 days.

Thomas Dow (Capt), New London, served 5 mos.

William Dow, no place, service I mo, 3 days.

William Dowe, Groton, I mo, 7 days.

James Dow, Hartford, 25th inf, wounded Aug 18, 1814.

Henry G Dow, Wethersfield, private 22nd reg 1862; one naturally associates him with Newell Dow (bcbcbbaff) in same reg.

D FAMILY OF DOW

THIS line of Dow has neither beginning nor end; it occurs to meet the' situation in Newington, N H, dating from 1683. In that yeaJ:. John Dow, an unmarried seaman, died at Piscataway,

leaving a will. This mentioned no relatives. It might be supposed that he had been only a transient.

Some John Dow received a grant of land in Dover 1694; this has been supposed'to be the well known John Doe of Oyster River. However, a rec is extant that to John Dow and Sarah were born:

a Jonathan b 1695

This record reached the great Historian of Hampton, but he was never able to connect it. We find that John Dow (not Doe) was taxed in Portsmouth 1727. John Dow was admitted to Newington church Sept 15, 1736. Sarah Dow, supposedly hi,s wife, was admitted Oct 17, 1736. Nothing further appears.

There are, however, in Newington and Portsmouth records of early dates not possibly attachable to any earlier family. We assume more children to .John and Sarah:

b Moses b by 1714, probably earlier. He appears but once: Moses Dow m Newington Mch 19, 1735, Sarah Phillips of Portsmouth. There is Moses Dow ahbb, b Newbury 1712 and not heard of again, but nothing is certain

c Isaac b by 1720; no known Isaac can possibly fit

Jonathan Dowda had a wife Elizabeth. A child: a Mary hap Newington May 5, 1717; not heard of again

Barely possible that Jonathan had another, for: b Patience Dow of Newington m May 7, 1752, William Shackford. Not heard of

again; cannot be the abcea family of Newington at a later time

Isaac Dow de, might also be dab; certainly there is no room for him in a or b lines. He b Portsmouth, lived Newbury; d Jan 1779. He m Haverhill May 11, 1743, Lydia Foster, the only available Lydia being b Feb 28, 1712, dau of David and Lydia (Black). Presumably Isaac followed the sea. Children, Newbury rec:

a Lydia hap Feb 26, 1743-4 b Mary hap Aug 17, 1746 c Abigail hap June 17, 1750 d Isaac hap June 17, 1750 e Hannah hap May 17, 1752; improbably the Hannah d Beverly May 25, 1833,

at advanced age

Isaac Do)Y dcd m Newburyport June 23, 1774, Abigail Merrill, presumably ,<lau of Moses, hap 1750. Has not reappeared; may be the Isaac Dow exchanged, Halifax to Boston, Oct 8, 1778. Is probably the Isaac served 177 5 under Capt Richard Dow bcde.

ASCOTCH family of Dow came to Philadelphia some time before ., 1760, probably to take part in the 1758 campaign. The known facts concerning them end in 1766.

James Dow e was clearly a man of gentle birth and of property, else he would not himself have been a British officer and been able to obtain commissions for three or four sons. He d in Philadelphia and a son's petition fixes the date as 1766. The three regiments in which this family served were Scotch. James Dow was a Lieut in the 60th reg up to the time of his death. Three sons are sure:

a James, commissioned Lieut of 42nd reg May 24, 1758 b John, commissioned ensign 60th reg May 4, 1757; Lieut May 24, 1758. His

identity is unproved; he did not join in the petition signed by three sons; quit6 possible that he was a nephew

c Archibald, commissioned ensign 60th reg Apr 6, 1759; Lieut Dec 12, 1760 d Alexander, commissioned ensign 28th reg Nov 10, 1760; Lieut Mch 20, 1763

Some time after the end of the French war James, Archibald and Alexander Dow entered a petition for a grant of land, 2,000 acres to each on the west shore of Lake Champlain, by virtue of being sons of James Dow dee, late of the 60th reg. In a special petition dated 1766 James Dow Jr adds that his father had lately died. That something was done in the matter appears from some litigation many years later.

About 1790 a man who had lived since prior to 1782 on 400 acres of land near Whitehall, NY, known as Dow's patent, was forced to fight in court for his title. By putting two and two together; the circumstances are fairly clear. At least 400 acres were granted to one or more of the sons of James Dow e. It is natural presumption that, if they remained in this country, they continued royalists and left before the actual outbreak of the Revolution. The logical way was over the Canadian border, as did vast numbers of tories. It matters little to us whether they made an effort to live on the land after 1766 or sold it at the first possible opportunity. British officers of the French campaign generally adopted the latter course. Being enemies of the united States, the land would be liable to confiscation. Hence the suit to oust the owner in 1790, perhaps an innocent purchaser. Its outcome has not been learned by the Author. The tale would end abruptly here, were it not for a striking coincidence.

James Dow eaa. About 1800 there crossed the border from the British provinces and settled in So Thomaston, Me, a Capt James Dow, a sea captain. Around him there is a well defined tradition that he had lived previously in the States and had had a military career. His name is one more reason for guessing him to be a son of one of the Philadelphia Lieuts. Hp,m So Thomaston (int pub Mch 17, 1806) Elizabeth Coombs (adabb li,rre). His posterity is very much American:

a Abigail C m William M Hayden of So Thomaston b George C b 1808 (by census) c James

John Dow eb. If this officer were son of James, one would think he would have joined his brothers in their petition for a land grant. The facts that they were fellow Lieuts in the same regiment and together in Philadelphia surely argues kinship. John Dow m Anne McCall, an heiress of Philadelphia, b about 1739, dau of Samuel and Anne (McCall), 19th in descent from King Robert Bruce of Scotland by his 2nd wife, Lady Elizabeth de Burgh, dau of Richard, Earl of Ulster. That they had chil­dren is known, but the Author has no evidence that they remained in this country.

Archibald Dow ec is unknown except as already mentioned.

Alexander Dow ed is equally unknown. There are found at least one Alexander and one John Dow, wholly unplaced, who may best be disposed of here. Alexander Dowe, Lieut in Malcolm's reg, N Y, Apr 12, 1777, transferred to Flower's Artillery Artificers, promoted Apr 4, 1780, to Capt-Lieut, retired May 1, 1781, might be identical. One would think that if a Lieut in the British regulars espoused the Federal cause, he would have been started with higher rank. The 1790 census gives an Alexander Dow, no family, shoe manufacturer, Southwark, Pa, Front St, west side. This might be identical.

F FAMILY OF DOW

F STANDS for the unknown and unnamed father of three brothers, who, according to a statement made by the grandson of one of them~ came to N Y City in 1768, their trade being that of forge­

men. Our informant supposes they were Scotch, but admits he was uncertain. One would be more inclined to look for iron workers in the industrial counties of England. It is probable that the ancestor is father of the William Dow whom the 1790 census shows in Canaan, N Y, with wife, dau and adult son. This William was necessarily b as early as about 1750. It se~ms highly probable that his earlier home was in Morristown, N J. A Mrs Dow was there 1774 to 1779, a school madame. We suppose her to be wife of William and it is natural that they should be where the boys started their iron forges. There is a church entry that Mrs Dow moved away. The three boys:

a John b Moses c William b about 1750-8

John Dow fa built the first iron forge on Rockaway River, as early as 1795, perhaps before. The Swedeland forge at Milton was built 1797 by John. Dow and Cornelius Davenport. John's partners in the first enterprise were Christian Straight, John Davenport anti others. A third forge was built near by in 1800, or before~ The Timber Brook forge near Greenville was built 1821-2 by John Dow, presumably the son of John fa. In all these enterprises the name of Moses Dow has not appeared. For his existence we have the word of a grandnephew, who relates that the son of William fc visited the son of Moses in Babylon, L I, about 1844, and that Moses Jr lived to very old age. It is also certain that the children of John Dow fa had own cousins in N Y City.

The region of the iron forges was the territory acquired subsequently by Cooper, Hewitt & Co, from which vast fortunes were made, the iron supply being for many years the largest in America. Perhaps John and Moses Dow sold out to that firm or their immediate predecessors. John Dow built a famous mansion in Belleville, NJ, owned by a lineal descen­dant when the history of that town was written. A letter in 1922 was returned, no Dow living in town. There were two children, improbably more:

a John b Margaret, probably the older

John Dow )aa left the regular church, being converted to Methodism by his sister. .He himself combined afterwards preaching and iron forging, being for his time a wealthy capitalist. At least two children were left by him:

a John Wesley, known as Squire Dow of Belleville b Abby m William Lee, a well known Methodist preacher

756 THE BOOK OF DOW

Margaret Dow f ab was able to convert, also, her cousins in N y City. Shem (his 2nd) Rev William Holmes of NY City.

William Dow fc was attracted by the cause of the Colonists and enlisted. Under the act of 1783 he received a grant of 160 acres, but apparently esteemed it of little value or too remote. He became a ship­wright and settled in Milton, Ulster Co, where he d 1838 or 1839; his wife Sarah Fowler b Ulster Co, d Poughkeepsie.

After his death, his son -and executor bethought himself of the soldter's land grant. Writing to Washington,· he was 'informed, so a son says, that the 160 acres were where the heart of Rochester, N Y, now is. Some search of deeds was made in that county and it is claimed that no transfer was ever made from William Dow. For a few years there was a little excitement, but the heirs seemingly did not care to throw good money away on a wild chase.

FOLLOWING the conquest of Louisburg by the British and the expulsion of the French colonists from Acadia, strenuous attempts were made to recolonize the region, the immigrants being mostly

Scotch,-hence the very name, Nova Scotia. Prior to1750 there came one whose family spread into Maine prior to 1761. He was then a man grown. A vaguriamily memory thinks his name might be Robert and he m a Miss Cook, but this may refer to his grandson. Climatic differences were important between the Nova Scotian coast and that of eastern Me, and the timber of the latter was much superior; hence a steady stream of migration. ,Few ofthi~ family remained permanently in Nova Scotia. From the time when facts replace vague family tradition, East Machias was the family headquarters. Members went as pioneers to Caribou, Columbia, Cherryfield. Still others went to Mass, where employment was more easily secured. Only one branch of the family has been traced and that due to the recovery of a family Bible. To the original immigrant we have two sons:

a Jonathan b by 1750, perhaps quite a little earlier. Name does not sound Scotch but locality indicates his identity

b James b NS 1761 or earlier; identity certain

Jonathan Dow ga. All we know about him is from the 1790 census, in which he appears as farmer in section 13, 2a, 3c. This means he had a son of 16 or older, a wife and 2 dau, or, if no wife, 3 dau. Census also gives a Stephen Dow alone in section 13. We guess him a son of Jonathan who had taken up land of his own but had not yet married. We guess, then, he was not under 21, nor over, say 25, for men in that region married early. If, then, Stephen was born by 1770, his father was surely born considerably before 1750, or almost as soon as the immigrant reached Nova Scotia. One of the very few extant vital rec of Machias is: Eliza Dowd Feb 17, 1761. At this date Me did not have ten settlements. One guesses Eliza to be sister of Jonathan. The mother of his children must have been of later date. Children, by guess:

a Stephen, mentioned above b A dau. Hist Machias, very fragmentary in its treatment of local beginnings,

gives her without date m Eliphalet Huntley, son of Frederick and -­(Caldwell), pioneers of Machias. Hist Machias gives children: Oliver m Hannah Bab; Benjamin Em Delia Munson; 2nd, wid Trufton; Richard m a Miss Antone

It is an axiom with genealogists that intermarriages with some family never come singly. The recurrence of the name Huntley of Machias is very strong evidence of identities with the g line. There are similar remirrences in this line of the names Ackley and Worcester. found alriiost nowhere else.

Jonathan Dow gaax, indexlettersfor convenience, must have been b about 1780; could not be son of Jonathan, else he would have appeared

THE BOOK OF DOW 759

in 1790 census; could not be son of Stephen, for Stephen was too young. Our knowledge is confined to the d rec of son, in which parents' names are Jonathan and Judith (Worcester) both b Columbia. This last is more than doubtful. The son:

a Richard farmer widower d Columbia Dec 1, 19101 ae 95, 10 mos. Nothing more in rec. We guess the next to be a son, prooably a younger one.

A few Dow are found in Jonesport, Steuben and Lubec, almost surely of the g family. Immigration from Europe to the provinces of eastern Canada was rather heavy 1835 onward and about 50 families of Dow crossed the border to find more or less permanent homes in Maine. A majority were Scotch, several Irish and not a few were the second generation in America, coming from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia or Quebec.

Doue, daughters of Fromabove. Presumably Fromabove was father of Matthew, who remained in America.

Matthew Doue was placed as a serv·ant for four years, June 1, 1640, to John Blackleach of Salem, Mass. All his children were born in Salem, but, as has been frequently noted, an early town clerk of Amesbury­Salisbury was an enthusiast who entered any vital datum from anywhere, if he chanced to know one of the parties. He apparently knew Richard Harris. Tfie children of Matthew:

APPENDIX I Census of 1790

The first Federal Census, that of 1790, aimed at little more than mere enumeration of the inhabitants. While parts of the records were destroyeo by the British when they occupied Washington in the War of 1812, the losses in Dow names were few, if any. There are many heads of families recorded in this Book, which do not appear in the census, but this is probably chargeable to the inexperience or carelessness of the enumerators. • The list has been well canvassed; nevertheless many are unidentified or doubtful. The letter key gives, at all events, the place where the identity is discussed. The sign 1i' denotes doubtful identity.

The census figures are in columns, the first being males of 16 · or over. This includes, of course, the head of the family (except in case of a widow) and his grown sons. The second column is of males under 16; the third column is for females of all ages, including the mother (if living) and all daughters. The fourth column is for slaves (no concern to us, as no Dow of our lines ever owned a slave). Instead of ruled columns, we use the letters, a, b, c, d. Obviously, arly one figuring in column b must have been born 1774 or later, any one in column a must have been born 1774 or earlier. We give the complete list of Dows with reference to the letter key, which is the equivalent of pagination throughout.

APPENDIX II Rev9lutionary Rosters

In one form or another almost every State has issued volumes of data of its Revolutionary soldiers. New Hampshire has four very large volumes issued as a report of the State Adjutant, covering the Colonial as well as Revolutionary activities. The Massachusetts Rosters are much more Yoluminous and include its (then) 'province of Maine. While these have been carefully edited, they are mostly made up of enlistment rolls and pay rolls from time to time. These are necessarily very in­complete. They very seldom follow any career upon a promotion. For example: Major Thomas Dow of Salem appears as a corporal and no higher. Major Joseph Dow of Kensington appears as Lieut, but only in consequence of signing a payroll. In only a very few instances is there some description of an individual, some clue to his identity.

Moreover, the place of a man's enlistment may have no connection with his home. After the first enthusiasm at the Battle of Lexington, enlistments were made with some deliberation. An enthusiast looked over the field to find where a bounty was offered higher than in his home town. Naturally, he wished to provide as much as possible for the family left behind, if not for his personal gain. For this reason an Epping Dow enlisted in Haverhill, Mass, and an Andover, Mass, man went all the way to Gilmanton, N H.

Actual Revolutionary service was, no doubt, performed . by twice as many 1\8 is shown in the various rosters. No roster, for example, contains the Epping company organized early in 1775 by Capt Clark. There were hundreds of companies formed by interior towns, partly as a preparation against possible invasion, which never got to the front and never figure.

It should be needless to remark that the proportion of Dows on these rolls which are identified is small. One is seldom absolutely sure of identities without the backing of family records or collateral evidence.

INDEX

THIS index includes, errors and omissions excepted, the name of every person mentioned in the Book, including those to whom any incidental reference is made. Its form is unusual and,

the Author believes, is the most informatory and most labor-saving of any ey~r used in a large genealogy. As the arrangement of the Book is alphabetical, the letter symbols are equivalent to pagination.

Let us suppose, for example, that a reader wishes to find some John Dow. _There are about 200 such in this Book. If it had been indexed by pages, he would have to begin with the very first reference and wade along until luck brought him to the right John Dow. Most genealogies are arranged with a number to each person. If this were done here, the reader would have the same blind search to come upon his desired John Dow. In our system the index tells him at a glance that a particular John Dow is of the seventh generation, is the first born child of a 2nd born, of a 3rd born, of a 1st born, of a 6th born, of the 2nd born of Henry Dow, immigrant of 1637.

Now, that is a great deal of information to be packed into seven letters, is it not Y It may require as much as 60 seconds to learn the method and unless that method is learned, the whole index is absolutely useless.

To each name in this Book a letter symbol is attached. The num­ber of letters in each symbol is the number of the generation of its possessor. The twelfth generation of Dow is now on earth. The first letter of each symbol denotes the original Dow immigrant. This Book includes seven such :

a Henry Dow, immigrant of 1637 to Watertown; b Thomas Dow, to Newbury 1639; c Samuel Dow, to Hartford 1660; d John Dow, to Portsmouth by 1693; e Lieut. James Dow, Phila about 1750; f the line of an immigrant to N. Y. about 1750; g the line of a Scotch family to Nova Scotia about 1750.

Each of these sections is alphabetically placed. The first born of Henry Dow, immigrant, is aa. The 2nd child of

Henry Dow's 2nd child is abb. The 5th child of the 4th of the 3rd of Thomas Dow, immigrant,

must be bcdy. Conversely, bcde can be no other than the 5th child of thEr'4th .child of the 3rd child of Thomas. If a symbol has eight let­ters, its owner must be a member of the eighth generation. Look for him, then, in his alphabetical place.

779

The letter symbol attached to every one born a Dow attaches also' to his wife ( or her husband) and to every person incidentally men~ tioned in connection with that particular Dow.

Be alphabetical. Remember that bcdbax is placed be{ore bcdbba., The letter x or letter y often occurs within a symbol. This denotes

that we do not know the order of birth of the person to whom the sym. bol belongs. Unknown quantities are denoted by x or y since algebra was invented. But, x and y are always herein put in true alphabetical position.

Suppose that the name we wish to look up is Jones Dow bcfiean. We look there, but for his birth, his brothers and sisters, we naturaB.y look for the father of Jones Dow,-of course bcfica; and you will find him in true alphabetical order.

We m.iiy wish to inspect James Dow aba . .A.s this lad died young, he had no injlependent career and gets no mention except as son of his parents,-ab. Few persons who died unmarried have independent articles devoted to them.

Immediately following this index is a supplementary chapter, fol­lowed by its own index. This chapter covers all data received too late for insertion in the body of the Book.

Preceding symbols beginning with an (a) are occasionally to be found, some beginning with an (x). This is to denote the English ancestors of Henry Dow, immigrant, and they in the Book precede the narrative of Henry Dow, who was both (a) and (xaaf). Coneisely, Henry was the 6th born of 1st born of. 1st born of John Dow d 1544, whose parentage is unknown. Henry Dow practically adopted his step-son, Thomas Nudd. For convenience we treat of him just after the family of Henry Dow himself; we give to Thomas Nudd the symbol (ak).

SUPPLEMENT

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS

IN August 1927 the Dow Book was handed to the printers. The type was set rapidly and with no delay the work passed into the page proof stage. From this point it was impossible to add new matter

to the body of the Book and especially to the index. As soon as the Author received his galley proofs, a set was sent to

Herbert B. Dow for. comparison, to eliminate as many errors as possible and to add such new matter as had been discovered. Proofs were sent elsewhere as widely as possible to the many who have contributed in­formation to this Book. Simultaneously, there seemed to spring up a country wide interest in Dow genealogy and more letters of inquiry and information were received than ever before in the same span of time. It seems unfair to the Dow family, of whom over 20,000 individuals are now alive in this country, to omit this great mass of supplemental information. The only way to include it was to hold a supplement open, to index it, and to send it to the printer at the latest possible moment.

The Author has in his possession about 10,000 items, Dow names which so far are unconnectible with the family trees. At times he con­sidered printing this enormous disconnected chapter. But that is too great a task. Instead, he includes in this Supplemental Appendix those disconnected items which seem most important or most easily provable when readers of the published work begin correspondence with the Author.

No genealogy has ever been completed. Most Authors say nothing about their disconnected items and no one else knows how proportion­ately large they are. This Author has been frank on this subject. He hopes to live many years to add almost daily to the connected family trees.

This supplement is arranged in the strictly alphabetical order pre­vailing in the main body.

Henry Dow a. A very interesting item has been dug out by Wm. G. Nichols, who notes incidentally that John Huggins of Dedham dis­appears from that ·town simultaneously with the appearance of John Huggins in Hampton, where he remained permanently. The record of Suffolk deeds notes that 23 (10) 1643 Richard Cole late of Hampton for 5£ sells to Henry Dove (or Doue) of Watertown his Iott and appurten­ances in Hampton, provided that if said Richard Cole shall return to this country within three years and will satisfy the said 5£ and other charges he shall have his lot back again.

We remember that Margaret · Cole came from Ormsby with the Metcalfe family as a servant, the usual custom. It is clear that some

940 THE BOOK OF DOW

connection exists between Margaret and Richard Cole. If he were her fathei: one might suppose that they would come to America together and that no homesickness for old England would induce Richard to return without her. It is more likely that he was her brother and had come on a later vessel. It is evident that he acquired his Hampton property long before Henry Dow decided to move to Hampton. Richard had gone to England before September 1643. Perhaps Henry Dow drove a sharp bargain with his brother-in-law. Perhaps, however, he acted in all kindness~ advancing money to Richard in full expectation that the latter would redeem hiis lot. As Richard did not come back at all, Henry Dow added a rare bargaJn to his land holdings. We note that Henry did not use this lot, but bought a place when he came to Hampton in 1644.

James Dow adaaafx. The Author bas never yet been able to ascertain the origin and identities of the Quakers who made a settlement in New York State, around Lyons and Sodus. A rather remarkable narrative is placed here. It was dictated by a grand daughter, then at advanced age, too much from memory alone, earlier parts from hearsay wholly, but it is too definite, too circumstantial not to have a large basis in fact,-even to be almost entirely correct, some one salient fact lacking.

The father of James lived Cambridgeport, Boston, or both, a tanner and currier, who made in various ways a very substantial fortune for his time. There were 7 sons, 2 dying young. No daughters are mentioned .. They included Moses, Aaron (one of these the first born), John, Sidney and Joseph, 25 years younger than the oldest. This firstborn conducted a coastwise shipping business from Boston, becoming prominent and successful. But his fondness for worldliness loomed large in the mind of the simple Quaker-bred narrator. Nominally a Methodist, he gambled and swore, even drank. James lost his mother at an early age and was brought up by friends of the family, ,who were Quakers. He is said to have married a Boston lady, who bore him two sons, dying soon after. He then, about 1828, married 2nd Loving Berry, who had been nurse to bis first wife. This match displeased the rich and very aristocratic family and there was thereafter little or no communication. The father dying intestate, the brothers offered to James as his share of inheritance a shoe factory in Claremont, Mass (there is no such place). He took it, but later developed the idea that he had been taken advantage of and that his share should have been much larger. Attacked by tuberculosis, he sold out and bought a farm near Lyons, NY, where he and his wife are buried in the Qqaker cemetery.

Altho imaginary fortunes always grow with the passage of years, it is quite certain that no American Dow family fits the requirements given above. A simple hypothesis which would make everything plausible is that James was not a Dow but the family which brought him up was a Quaker Dow one and that in later years James took their name, his own

SUPPLEMENT 945

Sarah Bartlett Dow adaaahac (adkebac in the main text of the Book) m (her name given as Dow) Bradford, Mass, Apr 17, 1848, Albert S. Hardy Jr widower b 1829, son of David. Her m rec of 1846 to Nath­aniel G Knowles of Northwood may or may not be correct.

Judah Dow adaaaj. Vital statistics have not been found of a large proportion of the line of adaa, although they must have lived long in or nea"i7' Hampton Falls. One branch went to Nantucket and are rediscovered in the records of that island. Another appears by 1748 in Epping but without a single datum of a whole generation. •

It is evident that Judah Dow married young and remained until 1787 in Hampton Falls. His name appeared regularly in the tax lists, but then drops out. Nevertheless hiR name reappears in Hampton Falls in 1790 with wife, two daughters and three sons, two sons being born before 1774. The inference is that Judah sold his farm in 1787 and three years later was temporarily in Hampton Falls with his family. All this family is untraced. We believe that some of them went to Vermont; that one son was Samuel Dow, a Quaker, who set up a trip hammer in 1796 in Danby, Vt., but who died in 1805, leaving two daughters, one of whom married Charl?s Billings, Quaker, of Billings Bridge, Ontario.

Alton F Dow adaabceab. His wif~ Nellie J d Winthrop, Mass, ae 63, Oct 2, 1921.

Frederick Dow adaabcead is surely he of Lowell m Rosie Smith, who m 2nd Lowell in 1908. Children of Frederick:

a Edith Mm Oct 28, 1908, Roy Varnum, son of George Wand Jennie (Bartlett) b Stella Mb Sept 24, 1895; d Lowell Oct 26, 1901

DeWitt Clinton Dow adaabcjfb. Possibly the rec now under adabiggda belong to him. If so, the latter is untraced.

Ira Dow adaabdd b Feb 16, 1803. A family rec, much open to doubt, gives him as the untraced Ira Dow ahbgdd. His family is correctly given sub adaabdd.

The more one.has delved into the involved and disconnected records of the two Dow families who for many generations remained closely associated in Epping, then in Gilmanto~, finally in Walden, Vt, the more do obscure points seem clarified and proved, the more also get into the tangle. There is a record, not proven by the Author, that James Gilman Dow ahbaai had a son Ira b about 1788. Some Ira (Author thinks this one) d N H 1830. There is also a rec, proof not seen by Author, that James Gilman Dow ahbaai had a 6th child,-Samuel b 1805. This Samuel fits perfectly him who m Walden May 4, 1831, Sophronia Gould. If so, it was ahbaai who was deacon of Walden church in 1805. If our train of calculation be correct, it is likely that Alice Dow and Dolly Dow,

946 THE BOOK OF DOW

now considered sub adaabd, m Oct 11, 1827, James Smith and Levi Levermore, respectively, are daughters of James G ahbaai.

Winslow Dow adaabfe. It is absolutely proven that he was brother of Harrison Dow and Darius Jerome Dow, all being sons of Jonathan b i776 and Joanna (Gilman). Jonathan is placed in this Book wholly for convenience as adaabf, which cannot possibly be true. A letter from Winslow's son written in 1903 has just come to light. This states posi­tively. that Winslow Hermon Dow b Fairfax, Vt, Aug 17, 1808, d Fairfax 1890, son of John Dow of Gilmanton. This fits perfectly the John or Jonathan b Epping 1776, son of Capt Noah Dow ahbac. The owner of the name seemed to vacillate in preference between John and Jonathan. and we can no longer doubt that the lines of ahbac, ahbgd, adaab were represented in the exodus from Gilmanton to Walden before 1800.

Winslow Dow m 1835 Adeline L Chamberlain b 1810, d 1895, dau of Ebenezer of Walden. There were 7 children, of whom the 1850 census gives 5 more or less carelessly:

a George W b Fairfax 1838 b ---- dau (presumably Betsey) m W H Lamberton c William E b about 1842 (family rec) d Lydia b about 1844. This leaves Polly, Eveline and Edward, mentioned in

Jeremiah Dow adgfga is properly abccdgb (q v). That he was akin to Moses Dow, who figures in this book as adgfg is very improb­able. Moses Dow, as the 1790 census shows, was then in New Durham with wife and no children. Presumably he was newly married and inferentially born 1760-68. If he had posterity we do not know. His identity is wholly a guess.

Nicholas Depuis adggdcca, Huguenot of Artois, was among the many who fled into Holland to escape a prolonged persecution by the French catholics. These Huguenot refugees, altho welcomed by the Dutch and given Civic and other rights, found it difficult to compete in material prosperity with the inherited strength of their new neighbors and many of them welcomed the opportunity to emigrate to New Amster­dam. Nicholas had married Catherine (Reynard) De Vos and three

children had come to them, when, in Oct 1662, they sailed in the Pember­ton Church to New Amsterdam. The French spelling of their name quickly became Hollandized; it was often spelled Dupuy but a century later had become more or less firmly Depuy (pronounced as pew, of a church).

Moses Depuy, 2nd son of Nicholas, b presumably about 1655, m about 1680 Maria Wyncoop of Albany, dau of Cornelius, probably already being a re.-iident of the Kingston district. Of their large family:

Jacobus Depuy eleventh child, b Kingston 1703, m 1725 Sarah Schoonmaker, dau of Joachem of Kingston. Probably he was the founder of the large number of Depuys of Rochester township, somewhat inland from Kingston; a fine farming country. They had many children:

Benjamin Depuy of Rochester was about the tenth child, b 174:4 or later. Hem about 1775 Jane Miller.

Henry Miller Depuy was twin with Sara b Jan 31, 1783. His marriage to Catherine Brink occurred not later than 1808 and was prob­ably at Shawangunk Church, that being the second oldest in the Kingston district. They made their home in Ulsterville, being the only members of the family thereabouts. Eltsje was their third child, the older being:

a Henry Brink b Feb 11, 1809 b Sarah Jane b Mch 20, 1811

A little delving into the archives carries the line of Catherine Brink back. Lambert Brink and wife were immigrants to New York about the same time as Nicholas Depuis. A son was born to them on the voy­age,-Cornelis Lambertson Brink. Cornelis m 1685 Marietie Egbertson of New York, a strange occurrence of a purely Anglo-Saxon name. The couple were early settlers in Ulster Co and their child Lammert Cornelison Brink was hap Kingston 1689. He m 1723 (perhaps earlier) Rachel de Mon hap Kingston June 5, 1688. Cornelis Lambertson Brink hap Kingston 1724 m 1748 Elsie van Brentschooten hap• July 11, 1725. Solomon Brink hap Kingston 1755 m about 1781 Sarah Van Keuren. The Van Keuren family settled near the river across from Poughkeepsie, and Sarah's baptism probably was not at Kingston. Catherine Brink hap Shawangunk Church 1788, m Henry Miller DePuy.

Miriam Dow adgxb m (int pub Seabrook 17: 11 mo: 1757) Jon­athan Gove d 1784. If this were a town rec, it would appear as Nov 17, 1757. Apparently it was a Friends' rec. Gove Gen gives Jonathan Gove m Miriam Norton with inexact date 1751 and gives the children, all with inexact dates. In no Seabrook rec can we find a Miriam Norton, and we do not find any Norton among the Friends. We believe the Gove Gen wholly in error l}nd all of its dates about 6 years too early. The marriages of two children are outside the Friends:

a Jacob m -- Fogg b John c Ruth m Joseph Jones d Mehitable m Isaiah Green e Hannah m Benjamin Clark. Their son Edward Gove Clark akexa m Mehitable

Philbrick Gove f Jonathan g Elihu, half witted h Miriam, d unm

The Gove family was always disposed toward giving children first or middle names indicating maternal ancestry. Here the name Elihu presumes the correctness of our identification. Isaiah Green reappears as adahdb of Weare, Quaker.

Joseph Dow adgxca. Herbert B Dow identifies him with our Joseph Dow adgcad, who m Sarah Berry and d Pittsfield before 1805. This seems partly correct and it surely accounts for the two Josephs of Pittsfield or Chichester. However, Sarah dau of Joseph, whom William McDaniel, is proven correct as we have it. Herbert B Dow identifies Jonathan Dow whom Dec 14, 1775, Annie Worth, as adgxcb. This is wholly conjecture. A family legend gives to Joseph Dow adgcad a cousin Jonathan, not a brother Jonathan. At least six different Dows of the sixth generation located in or near Pittsfield and to identify them all has so far been impossible.

Benjamin Dow ahba. If he died at 65, the date should be 1777. The Plumer ms. is blurred badly here. There is iJn undated rec of Benjamin Dow, a cordwainer of Durham, N. H. The identity is extremely unlikely. A cordwainer has little chance to accumulate money and the real estate deeds prove that Benjamin Dow ahba was a wealthy man on his arrival in Epping 1748. There is, however, a record, the date un­certainly given as 1734, of Benjamin Dow of Rowley m Hannah Follett. This last name is certainly correct.

Benjamin Dow ahbaaab. Place and name of child indicate that there was either a second child or a niece:

e Nellie Maud b Apr 14, 1884. Dates from Comings Gen. Mother was, then 52 at this time. If birth date in error, she would still be a member of thi~ line, but perhaps a grand niece.

The 1790 census of Epping, NH, shows a Josiah Dow with wife and young son, of whom no trace has yet been found. The identity of Josiah is uncertain. When the missing records of Epping 2nd church from 1772 onward are inspected, it is possible but not at all certain that his children will appear. It is certain, however, that the Dow family of Lee, N H, came from Epping. It is equally certain that the Dows of Lee bore names which follow closely those of the ahba family. Two sons of Daniel Dow ahbab moved to Lee, but both married too late to be parents of the dis­connected Dow of Lee. Nevertheless, the kinship is reasonably certain. For indexing convenience we call Josiah Dow ahbax, altho he was just about the same age as Josiah Dow ahbae, and he is almost certainly identical. The Josiah Dow of Canterbury ahbae in this book ms of Quaker ancestry.

Josiah Dow ahbax may have married 1788 or a little earlier. Con­structively, we shall allot to him three children:

a Josiah b NH 1789; lived and din Lee b Benjamin. He is certainly ahbaaab, who appears in census as born 1805

(almost obvious error) with wife Susan b N H 1798. Lee rec gives Benjamin Dow of Epping m Lee Aug 27, 1818, Sukey Lawrence of Lee. No further rec , in Lee

c Lydia of Lee m Lee 1813 Spencer Wentworth; no further rec

Josiah Dow ahbaxa was evidently a poor man, for in 1850 his farm was assessed at only $100. His wife, according to census, was Eliza Grant b N H 1796. We recall that Daniel Dow ahbab m 2nd a Grant of Exeter. Family rec gives Elizabeth Grant, who d in Dover. Another rec calls hef Louisa Grant b Meredith. Their children are proven by family rec, but the order is apparently arbitrary:

a Daniel b David c John N d Orren (Orin, family rec) e Stephen f Emily Ann g Jane h Susan i Abbie

SUPPLEMENT 957

Daniel Dow ahbaxaa, unknown except that family rec says he had a son Frank moved many years ago to Calif.

David Dow ahbaxab appears in the Book as adbabia, that position being guessed as he married in Berwick, Me, adbabi being the only known Dow of that time and place. He was a stone mason and after marriage moved to Mass, for many years foreman or superintendent of mill con­struction, mostly in Lawrence. He m Berwick (int pub Aug 1, 1840) Susan S Walker, dau of Edward. She of Berwick, but b Waterville, held a certificate granted by act of Congress as a real daughter of the Revolution.

Isaac Wilson Dow ahbgik was a coach-maker; moved to Ohio in 1843 apd in 1854 to what is now Denmark, Ia. In 1858 he pioneered to Kansas to help make it a free state. The great drought of 1860 drove him back to Iowa. As he was both a Latin and Greek scholar, he was able to open a private school but the remuneration for a full term was only about $100. This sum, however, enabled him to hold on to his Kansas lands. His'2nd wifed Sept 30, 1858; he did not remarry and the care of his children prevented his serving during the War except in defense of Ft Lincoln against the Confederates under Price. Just.ice of the Peace, Universalist, Free Soiler, teetotaler, he lived and died greatly respected.

Our informant gives the older children as William, Samuel, James and Amos and children by 2nd wife as:

980 THE BOOK OF DOW

Records of Chichester are mostly unidentifiable but must belong to the adai, the aedaab, adgcac or adgcad lines. Rec is clear that Samuel Dow b 1760 was there, a Rev pensioner in 1850.

Sally Dow haabs m Chichester Nov 17, 1796, Obediah Marsten.

Mary Esther Dow haabsx b Chichester m Stephen G Marston b Pittsfield. A dau Angeline J m Pittsfield 1868 Albert C Marston. A series of marriages of same names are almost invariably connected.

Samuel Dow haabt b Chichester, farmer of Chichester, d Loudon Apr 18, 1870; m Apr 3, 1840, Eliza Gale b Loudon 1818; census 1850 gives them farmers of Loudon with 3 children:

The same Samuel Dow had children by own rec, lettered for con­venience:

d JoReph b Loudon Jan 16, 1836 f William b Barnstead 1842

e Samuel b Loudon 1838

Jacob Dow haabtb married farmer d Barnstead 1883. Some Jacob E Dow farmer of Loudon, living 1915 off Pittsfield road, m Betsey Wilson. Directory 1909 gives (presumably) his children:

a Jennie m -- Drew b Melvina (note recurrence of name); probably of Concord by HH5 directory

Samuel Dow haabtc, haabte. Two candidates for them: Samuel Dowd Loudon Apr 27, 1902, ae 52. Age does not fit. Samuel Dow b Loudon about 1856 (date wrong; cf m date) m Loudon Apr 14, 1871, Abbie A Little b 1856. Children:

State rec says 5 children:

William Dow haabtf shoemaker of Concord m Littleton July 6, 1878, Sarah A Locke ae 26, b New Lisbon, of Barnstead. A Concord item cannot be identical, unless 1850 census has a duplication: Samuel Dow b N-~H 1817, farmer without realty. Name following is William Dow b NH 1839. Age fits William Dow laborer of Loudon d Boscawen almshouse May 30, 1914, ae 75.

Index to Supplement

The letter key, which readily identifies any of the more than 40,-000 persons mentioned in this Book, and which, as the Book is alpha­betically ~!ranged, obviates the necessity of numbered pages, is con­tinued in this supplemental index. A symbol beginning with a denotes

descent from the first Dow immigrant,-Henry Dow of 1637. A sym­bol beginning with b denotes descent from the second Dow immigrant, -Thomas Dow. immigrant,-Thomas Dow of 1639. There are seven Dow immigrants to America prior to 1775. A symbol herein begin­

ning with h ( eighth letter) denotes the collection of the more import­ant Dow Items not yet connected with the genealogical main lines. If a symbol contains eight letters, the individual attached to it is of the eighth generation. A 'denotes a firstborn, b a secondborn, and so on-
