We are cousins. Sophia Strader is definitely on our list, and we should share some stories. I actually went back to Edinburgh and handled the parish records myself, with the Clow name going back to the mid 1600s. Those records have since been unbound and preserved by the Mormon Church, although I have not seen actual images of the book I saw myself. How extensive is your record of these years?

My Clow ancestor was Henry Clow, UEL, who came from Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland as well as his brother William. (their father was Patrick Clow). They came to America in 1774 just about the time the Revolutionary war was probably taking shape. They were both Loyalists. Henry was captured and held in Albany Gaol, but managed to escape & fled to Canada. William had also made his way to Canada, but I don't know if he was imprisoned as Henry was. Henry married Rebecca DeForest in Trois Rivieres, Quebec, Canada, and they had 4 children prior to his death in 1789. Rebecca remarried to Robert Mc Lean. Mostly Henry and William's family were in Elizabethtown, Leeds, Ontario, Canada area. Descendants later migrated to IL, MI, MN, IA, MO and OK. We don't know a lot about William's descendants. He married Sophia Strader, and had possibly 14 children. None of these 2 lines went to PEI, that we know of, but certainly descendants could have made their way there, or other Clow r!
elatives. It is hard to reconcile the old birth records from Scotland because they mostly only posted the father's name on the birth records prior to 1800. With Scottish naming practices, there are lots of Clow sons named Henry, William, Patrick, Peter, Simon, etc. after their fathers and grandfathers. If any of you think you are from Henry, b. 1753 or William, b. 1756 lines, maybe we can make a connection.

I would love to see anything you have. My research shows that the Clow family I am related to came from Scotland, and that Clough came from England, and Cloe we don't have anywhere in our information. Our family still has a homestead on the St. Lawrence River between Toronto and Montreal, still in the family after more than 200 years.

If you will let me have your e-mail address, I will send you something about the CLOUGH line (part of which became CLOW)and various CLOW (part of which became CLOE) lines that came from Scotland to the Middle Colonies. Some were Loyalists who were executed for treason.

My fantasy is to make a trip to PEI and start tracking from there as it appears this little town was pretty much run by Clows years back when it was first started.

There is a long history of Clows in Canada, with the old family homestead still owned and run by members of the family.

Maybe we can help each other. I had Clow family that went from Scotland in the 1700s to Boston Mass and then on to Canada.

NEW INFORMATION. The clows came from scotland to Boston in the 1700's and at the beginning of the American revolution went to Canada as Empirical Loyalists. William Clow and Charlotte Reed Clow lived in Charlottetown PEI but I am not sure if all of their children were born there. Childrens names I can recall are Georgia or Georgina Clow Nodwell, George Clow, Lemuel Clow, Margaret Clow, Leith Peter Clow.

Hi Linda,
I just recently went through the probate record of Malachi Clow, and thought you might be interested. Let me know.
