Judah Dow

Judah was born in 1719. Judah's father was Joseph Dow and his mother was Hannah. His paternal grandparents were Joseph Dow and Mary Sanborn. He had three brothers and two sisters, named Eliphaz, Noah, Bildad, Dow and Dow. He had four half-brothers and a half-sister, named Joseph, John, James, Philip and Mary.

General Notes
- Judah's date of birth was proven by an odd coincidence. It was long known that Joseph had a son Judah by an Indian mother, but he was supposed to be illegitimate and born in 1700 or before. In the tax book of Salisbury Beach there is a list of settlers and among them is Jadah Dow 1719. If he is a tax payer or settler by 1719, he must be born before 1700. The spelling is, of coarse, a penslip. The entry is in a different hand than the others. As a matter of fact, the town clerk, deep in hard cider, tried to record Judah's birth and pulled down the wrong book. Judah was the baby of the family, an object fo tender solicitude of his brothers.
