His father, John Gow, came from Ireland to this country when he was young, bringing his large family consisting of nine children, John, Ellen, Margaret, William, Nancy, James, Robert, Andrew, and Jane. On the voyage to America the old family Bible was lost, so the record of his age is in doubt, but it is supposed he was born in 1810. He lived in Newburg one year before coming to Harford. He came here in 1837, and settled on a farm near his brother Robert’s present home, but afterwards went to live with Mrs. Lydia Carpenter, the widow of John Carpenter, a nine partner. His home has always been in Harford since. He married Rebecca Williams and raised a large family. The oldest son died for the Union.
