  Henry Garlick Clow "bachelor of the City of Bristol, England" and Sophia Holden "spinster of Harbour Grace" were the progenitors of the Clow(e) families of Harbour Grace and Ferryland. They were married at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Harbour Grace in 1809 and raised a large family. It is not clear if all of their children were born in Harbour Grace since there are a number of probable children for which entries were not found in the baptismal records of St. Paul's Anglican Church . The missing records could also indicate that they moved out of Harbour Grace for a period of time and then moved back there again - about 1828. Sophia died at Harbour Grace in June of 1832. Henry lived at Harbour Grace until the summer of 1939, when he moved to Ferryland to take up a new position there. He died at the home of his daughter, Adelaide, on the 13th of July 1855 at the age of 77. The residence of his son-in-law, given as Ferryland in this article, is probably incorrect since Adelaide (Mrs. J.T. Burton) appears to be have been living in St. John's at that time. Although the Clow surname survived at Harbour Grace into the 20th century, most of the family was wiped out in the 1880s. Henry, grandson of Henry Garlick Clow, was the last to bear the Clow surname in the Harbour Grace area. He died sometime after 1904. His death record has not been found to date. The Clow surname at Ferryland, which eventually became Clowe, appears to trace its survival to James Clow. He first appears in the voters List at Ferryland in 1859. James married Hanna Ryan of Ferryland about 1852. The children from this marriage were raised as Roman Catholic although James himself did not convert to Catholicism. According to the Ferryland Anglican burial records, James died at Ferryland about August 14 1868 at the age of 48. Marmaduke Clow, son of Henry Garlick, whose birth was the last child for Henry and Sophia recorded at Harbour Grace, also raised a family at Ferryland. It does not appear that any of them setled in Ferryland area and Marmaduke eventually moved to St. John's. This family was raised Anglican and there is some evidence that his only surviving son, Henry Ernest Clow, may have become an Anglican clergyman. H.E. Clow is noted as performing Anglican baptisms at Greenspond, Bonavista Bay in 1890 and 1891, however his title is not given. There was also a Matthew Clow who raised a family in the Ferryland area. The baptism of his twins, James and Mary, is recorded in the Renews/Fermeuse RC baptisms in 1859. Although his name does not appear again in any later documents, it appears that Matthew's daughter Mary married Martin Flynn of Conche at Ferryland in 1891. A James Clow, possibly her twin brother, was a witness at her marriage. A James Clow was also noted as the father of a child (Margaret) by Mary Curran in 1889, however no marriage record or additional children were found for this couple.
