Samuel Henry Dow

Samuel was born on December 18th, 1821. Samuel's father was Samuel Dow and his mother was Louisa L. Smith. His paternal grandparents were John Dow and Elizabeth Mace. He had two brothers and three sisters, named George, Horace, Elizabeth, Martha and Louisa. He was the fourth oldest of the six children. He died at the age of 85 on April 9th, 1907.

General Notes
- Samuel succeeded to the 160 acre homestead and was deacon of the Congregational church. The Census of 1850 gives him as Daniel, his mother Louisa living with him, farm assessed at $1,300. His wife, Joanna, is mentioned, also a Samuel Dow, probably a son who died young. The Adams genealogy gives them six children, but this is an error. Two relatives named Adams lived with them but were never legally adopted. There were no other young people in the home, the line dying out.
