Biography

John was born in 1783. He was the son of Joseph Dow and Eliza Emery. He passed away in 1852. ^[1]

Another line of New Brunswick Dows was founded when John Dow [bbbfab] moved from Haverhill and started and operated a ship building enterprise in Oromocto, Sunbury County, New Brunswick.

John’s brother Joseph was closely associated in partnership with his brothers in the ship building operations in Oromocto in Sunbury County (at the junction of the Oromocto and St. John Rivers) and when that operation failed, he failed too. It was Joseph’s two son’s, William Dow, bbbfaab, and John Dow, bbbfaac, (as well as their three sisters), who did not return to New England like many in the associated family did.

They remained in the general area of Oromocto (i.e., in or around Kingsclear, York County, NB) and then both moved their families upriver to Carleton County, NB, where they both remained until their deaths.
