Write your reply.

assistant: Many families have a Lorenzo Dow .....  They were named after a
popular preacher of the early to mid 1800's in the east and south.
     From the "Handbook of Denominations", 1975, 6th Ed., Frank S.
Mead, p. 196 under Primitive Methodist Church, U.S.A. is says:
This church had its initial organization in England, under the
influence of Lorenzo Dow, an American camp-meeting revivalist, who
went to England early in the nineteenth century...  The leaders ...
were dropped from the Wesleyan Connection and formed the Primitive
Methodist Church.in 1810.
     One correspondent sent:
From: "Boykins: Branches and Roots" by Olivia Skaggs Killian," The
Boykins and Bowlings attended the same church pastored by Rev. Lorenzo
Dow ... Their children attended the same academy with the headmaster,
Rev. Lorenzo Dow, although the Bowlings lived just over the line in
Washington Co., AL. John (Boykin) and Cordenia Bowling were married by
Rev. Lorenzo Dow, and they named a son Lorenzo Dow. Rev. Dow pastored
a Methodist Church organized in 1807 in Washington Co., MS Terr. and
the first Academy chartered in 1814. (Clarence E. Carter, "American
St. Papers," Ms. Terr 1789-1817, p.88)".
     For some reason this guy was extremely popular in Washington Co
MS Territory (later AL) during the period 1800-1825.

assistant: It's been published several times, first in 1841 by the government. Look for
the title:
CENSUS OF PENSIONERS FOR REVOLUTIONARY OR MILITARY SERVICES WITH NAMES AGES
AND PLACES OF RESIDENCE AS RETURNED BY THE MARSHALS OF THE SEVERAL JUDICIAL
DISTRICTS UNDER THE ACT FOR TAKING THE SIXTH CENSUS
The title is misleading since the census makes no reference to pensions, only
if they served.

assistant: The names of Revolutionary War veterans listed in the 1840 census are
available in a book named something like "The 1840 Revolutionary War List"
(not exact).  It's locally available at the NGS Library, and I'd bet at the
Library of Congress and maybe even that little back room off Room 400 at the
National Archives.  Possibly even in the various Virginia Rooms of the
Virginia county library system (one per county).
     There's a similar book about Rev. War pensioners in 1835, available at
most of the same places, I should think.  As I recall, there are some
differences in entries regarding what seem to be the same persons.  This is
one of the things I should be checking out in the next few weeks; will pass
along any useful information I run across.
     Cheers ... Sue
p.s. I'd be willing to bet that both the 1835 and 1840 books are also
available at the NSDAR Library.

Looking over your shoulder.
WW<some knowledge of one of my wife's ancestors, Lorenzo Dow Hamilton,

It's a long shot, but sometimes they pay off big time! I quote from
"Boykins: Branches and Roots" by Olivia Skaggs Killian," The Boykins

Their children attended the same academy with the headmaster, Rev.

For some reason this guy was extremely popular in Washington Co MS

dovetail with the possibility that Lorenzo Dow HAMILTON's parents were

start looking.  Good luck and

Subject: Lorenzo Dow
Sent a message earlier but have not seen anything on it.  It may not
have gotten out.
Lorenzo Dow was the first preacher man to arrive in a lot of the
areas. Before that most marriages were with the consent of the
community or family. When Lorenzo showed up he married everyone that
needed it.  He was quite a character...There is a story that he heard
of a theft in the area and when he finished preaching he told the
people that inside the large cooking pot that he had there was a
chicken.  The chicken would let them know who the culprit was.  Then
the lamps were extinguished and every one was told to go and touch the
pot.  When the lamps were lit all but one had a black hand. Hence he
was guilty.  There are a lot of these stories around.
Just thought you might enjoy a little of what the man was like.
Evidently he made a lot of people happy with the marriages and thus
they named a child after him.
