Do you have any information on James Clow who settled in Halfmoon, Saratoga CO NY? I am descended from his son Henry Clow b 2/9/1782 in the same town.
Thanks

Hi Kristy
I'm just getting started with this search, but I know from my Mom's research that Henry Clow, b 2/9/1782 In Halfmoon, Saratoga CO, NY was one of 3 sons( John, James and Henry) of James Clow and Elizabeth (?). He also had 2 sisters: Ann and Margaret. The family is still in the same place for the 1800 census. I'm trying to find out where James Clow came from. Family believes Scotland.

From the Chatsworth Plaindealer
Chatsworth,Livingston,Illinois

MRS. WILLIAM CLOW
DECEMBER 10, 1897

The death of Mrs. William Clow, of Forrest, which occurred on Friday morning, December 3, at the home of the family in Forrest, was announced in these columns last week.

She was born on December 8, 1850, in Grundy county, and came with her parents to this county, locating in Pleasant Ridge township, and in 1859 removed to Ford county, residing southeast of this place. In 1863 our subject was united in marriage with John Heaton, the result of the union being one son and one daughter, the former having died in infancy, and the latter, Laura A. Boucher, now residing in Forrest. On August 7, 1879, she was married to William H. Clow, and in 1881 removed from this place to Forrest, where she has since resided. The result of the second union was a son and a daughter, Homer E., aged seventeen, and Ivy Fern, aged eight.
The funeral services were held on Sunday morning at Forrest and the remains laid to their final rest in the Chatsworth cemetery.

I think I might have the Lucas family (of which I'm a descendent) your looking for, as I have the same couple in my tree. Feel free to take a look the Lucases in my tree. I'd love to hear more about the Clow's as well though, since all I know is that Rebecca was born sometime around 1814 (so your date looks close enough), married Samuel, and had parents who were born in Germany.

Re: Entire Clow Tree from Perth

I have a Rebecca Clow born 25 June 1816 - died 12 February 1892 married to Samuel Lucas. Born in Frederick County, Virginia/West Virginia. Does she fit into your tree? I am researching the Lucas family and keep hitting a wall.

I have a few pictures of the daugthers, one with a baby on ones lap. A picture of Jesse with 2 daughters. Why did they divorce? How could a single mother of so many children afford to buy a house? Do you know anything about an indian connection? My grandmother (Cora's daughter) had always said she was 1/32 indian, but I never asked where that came from. I have a cousin from this line that lives in the Kansas City, MO area. I believe she was born in AZ, but moved there after marrying. Nice to be able to talk about this stuff. I wish I had been more interested when my grandmother was still living.

Hi Bruce,

My Dad, and now I, have done quite a bit of work on the Clow genealogy. We have a copy of Gladys's work, and I in fact once sat down with her at her home in Brockville Ontario. Have you done any work separate from Gladys's work?

Re: Clow Family From Canada

adclow — 2011-07-10 05:14:14Z

I believe you might be from the same line as myself. I also heard stories of the tribe in Canada.

Barbara's brother, Daniel Fenwick Clow, was my great grandfather. It appears at one point that Hilda and Joseph Foisey went to Claremont, where a couple of Barbara's brothers eventually settled, although it looks like Barbara eventually ended up in Massachusetts.

There are lots of Clows in what is considered the "Connecticut River Valley" area of VT and NH -- all along the CT river in the area of Claremont, Charlestown, Cornish NH and Windsor, VT. That's where I'm from and even though I've been in NY for 20 years, I still consider it my home. :)

Stella May Clow is Hilda's cousin if I have my tree right, and my dad said her daughter would probably be able to tell me some things about the family. Is there anything particular you'd like to know if I end up calling her?

Hi, I've found this thread and I was hoping to add to and receive via it. I am writing a book based around my ancestor William Clow and his brother Henry Clow, and I was hoping to get the dates of birth for Henry's children. If you are wanting information about the descendants of William Clow UE, I have the lot from a complete genealogy done by Gladys Clow in the 1970's so nothing since then for most of the lines. Cheers, H. Bruce Clow

Re: Mary Jane Clow Gilstrap

MarilynFerguson42 — 2011-06-05 21:01:08Z

I'm not sure that Cora did go with Jesse. When Mary Ellen divorced him she was given custody of the minor children but both William and Cora were over 18 years of age. According to my dad, William remained close to Jesse but the other children stuck with Mary Ellen. I know that eventually the entire family came to Kansas City Mo. and eventually Mary Ellen bought a house in Kansas City Ks. In 1898 I found Cora living at 1329 Cherry, Kansas City Mo with Anna E. Crayne, but Jesse was living at 1208 Locust. In 1904 Mary Ellen, Cora, Etta May, Flora Dell, and Robert J. were living at 1716 Belleview St in KC Mo. My grandmother, Luella, was married to Ernest Banks by then and living elsewhere. Jesse was living at 307 East 11th. As far as I know Jesse never lived in Kansas. He remarried and lived in KC Mo until his death.

Re: Mary Jane Clow Gilstrap

corahigginbotham — 2011-06-05 18:21:47Z

Hello Marilyn,
Glad to meet you. I was looking at a site yesterday, and it noted that Jesse Jasper and Mary Ellen divorcing, and all of the children stayed with Mary Ellen in MO, except Cora, who went to KS with Jesse Jasper. Do you know anything about this?

Re: Mary Jane Clow Gilstrap

MarilynFerguson42 — 2011-06-04 20:52:04Z

My grandmother was Luella Berde Gilstrap Crayne, sister to Cora. I'd be interested in corresponding with you.

Re: Mary Jane Clow Gilstrap

corahigginbotham — 2011-06-04 18:57:50Z

I must revise... Mary Jane Clow would have been my GGG Grandmother. Her daughter Mary Ellen and Jesse Jasper Crayne were the parents of Cora Belle Crayne Coberly who was my Great Grandmother. So confusing......

William's brother, Edwin Seymour is my great great grandfather. I'd love to go further back in the family tree but I'm stuck at Henry J. I'm hoping you've found more information by now that you could share withme. Thanks!

Re: Leith Clow Family

tim12040 — 2011-01-29 22:19:36Z

Jo-anne; that is really sad. As when my father was alive he could have answered those questions for you.
I was there when Grandad Clow passed on in 1967. But my father had this odd way of protecting us by keeping completely out of the loop.
Some of the brothers went to PEI to bury Granddad and Kenny and Stanley are still Alive. You could contact them to finish part of the search.
Great Aunt Georgina spent a lot of money in the 60s researching our past and her relate may have some of the info.
I know my Dad acquired the family coat of arms, and the tarten for our family name from Scotland where our family castle apparently is.
Dad went to England and visited some relatives there but I wasn't privy as usual to most of the family matters. Dad was way too good at keeping things to himself.

Donna
I have a photograph you may be intrested in. It has a hand writen note on it labeling it as the Hopfield family. I am guessing that it is John and Sarah Hopfield and several of their children. It also contains my gggrandmother Sarah Saddington whom I believe joined their family when she was about 5 years old living with them and moving to Oregon with them untill she married at age 16 in 1877. She is shown as Sara Hopfield age 9 in the 1870 census in Wisconsin. contact me if you would like a scan of the image. I also have a portrait labeled Charles Clow and brother. I would guess at ages 4-6

Re: Clow, William & Mary (oregon)

joannboyd — 2010-11-08 15:23:32Z

Actually the Clows came to the states in the 1700's from Scotland. I don't know where they landed but when the American Revolution broke out some stayed in the states, some went to Nova Scotia, and others went to England. You are right though some of those Clows from England did com back to Canada and them a few back to the states. My uncle and I have both been working on this. I did confirm that Clow used to be spelled Clough on some of the family names. I also found a lot of Clow names in the Eninburgh Scotland Castle.

Re: Clow, William & Mary (oregon)

marbra503 — 2010-11-08 14:49:50Z

I have info regarding Mary's Parents, but could never find any information on Williams father James. It looked to me like the Clows came from England and settled in Canada and then wandered down into the United States. How are you related to William?

Re: Eva Arabella Clow Truman B Vinson

marbra503 — 2010-11-08 14:27:08Z

I have no information regarding Truman Vinson. The main reason I posted, years ago, was to share a family photo of the Clow family. Eva was my grandmothers sister. There were many children in the family and they all played musical instruments and traveled in a covered wagon to different citys to perform. My grandmother told me it took them three days to get to Salem, Oregon which was less then 50 miles away. Some of the kids were born in Forest Grove, Oregon. Their father, my great grandfather, played the trumpet and was also a barber. (marbra503@aol.com)

Re: Origin of the name

According to a recently translated book, several weaver families were brought from the old Flemish area to the area of Drummond Castle in Scotland in the early 17th century by Lord DRUMMOND One of the family names was CLOW.

Re: John R Clow

leecloe — 2010-01-26 00:32:18Z

According to compiled data, he was one of 7 children born to James CLOE/CLOW and Sarah TRIPLETT. That James CLOE/CLOW was the son of James CLOE/CLOW and Elizabeth (STB - BRIDWELL). That James was the son of James CLOE/CLOW and Mary (STB - BURNS). That James CLOE/CLOW was born in Scotland about 1720. A birth record for a James CLOW has been located in the Old Parish Records. It states James was born on 29 June and christened on 2 July 1721 in Balhaldie, Scotland. The town no longer exists.

This is the line I have been tracking since the 1950's.
