Subject: [OHCARROL-L] The 'Original' Lorenzo Dow
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1998 15:41:03 -0400


Hi Everyone!

Last week, I got into a conversation on the Virginia Roots list
about the circuit-riding preacher, Lorenzo Dow. Lots of us have a Lorenzo
Dow 'Somebody' in our data. Since I have a lot of information about the
'original' Lorenzo Dow, they asked if I would post a web page about him. (He
was born in 1777 in Coventry, CT and died in Georgetown, DC in 1834.)
Well, I ran home from work Monday and put up the Lorenzo Dow page
after supper! I hope you find it interesting. He was something! I can
just see him jumping out of a church window onto a horse and riding away
shouting that he would be back one year from the day! He did, too!
The site is: http://www.acun.com/dentons The link to the article
about Lorenzo Dow is about half way down the first page.

I hope you enjoy the stories!
Blessings!
Sue Montgomery-Cook
