The information about our early Dow ancestors came from the following book: The "Book of Dow" by Robert P. Dow (c)1929 Genealogical memoirs of the descendants of Henry Dow of 1637, Thomas Dow of 1639, and others of the name, immigrants to America during colonial times, also the allied family of Nudd, 1013 pages. The book contains 30,000 names, and has two parts, each with its own index: * The main body of the book (pages 1-778) and index (pages 779-938) was typeset in August, 1927, and then was distributed for proofing. * The Supplement (pages 939-995) and index (pages 997-1013) contain corrections and additions that were added before the book was published in 1929. * At the time that the Supplement was added, the author states that he had an additional 10,000 unconnected Dow names. He hoped to live many years and to continue adding to his collection almost daily. What ever became of his additional research?
