That is great information. I do know that Murray Harbour on PEI was predominantely Clows and there are a number of Clows in the cemetary. They owned stores and there is a Clow Warf. You can see some of the earliest settlers were Clows at http://www.edu.pe.ca/southernkings/mhn.htm#settle
It is really great information. My great Grandfather was Captain on a ship off Murray Harbour and the ship sank in a storm. It was called the Lydia and a poem was written for the incident. The second mate was his son and the third mate was Robert Clow an 18 year old boy. They claim that the ships ghost is still seen off the Harbour. This information came from my Uncle. If you want a copy of the poem send your email address to me at jboyd(a)swri.org and I will send it to you.

We are related - I would love to more about what you know. My Clows left Dunblaine before the Revolutionary War and fought for the British. After losing, the King gave land to his soldiers on the edge of the St. Laurence River - The Clow land is still in the family, though a small postage stamp of what it once was. Canada put a plaque outside the farm calling it one of the original Canadian families. I've seen it.

You all are making me feel very good finding Clows from Scotland as I was at a dead end. I do know that the Clows that I descended from Clows that left Scotland in the 1700's to the States and/or England and some eventually went to Nova Scotia/Canada when the American Revolution broke out. Trying to find the area in Scotland is difficult but I was told William Clow came from Scotland and my Great Grandfather was William Clow in PEI married to Charlotte Reid.
