DOW, John and Mary Ann THOMPSON
Am seeking information on John Dow who married Mary Ann Thompson.They supposedly were straight from England and disembarked in New Orleans, La.My grandfather says that John Dow was killed in an elevator shaft while laying out rat poison.This left his wife, Mary Ann, and their two daughters, Rose and Jessie, destitute.Mary Ann, unable to support her family, placed the two girls in an orphanage.Jesse Agnes Dow was born in 1880.This is all the information I have.Can anyone help?
Thanks.
