I also am a descendent of Gows of Glasnafeid, Muthill, Perthshire through:
Donald Gow c1762 & Janet Ferguson
Alexander Gow 1808 & Jane McOwan
Donald known as Daniel Gow 1841 & Margaret Dobson
John McOwan Gow 1883 & Annie Isabel Limbrick
Graham McOwan Gow 1912 and Beatrice Mary Hill (my parents)
My late father Graham Gow wrote his story and mentions your Gows being at Glasnafeid also, but couldn't verify that they were our forebears as well.There seemed to be a gap of a couple of generations where Parish records were destroyed by fire because of this Donald Gow and Janet Ferguson were his starting point. He wrote his story in 1979 without the aids of emailing and computors.
Have you come across these names of ours in your research.
Alexander Gow and Jane McOwan followed their son John Gow out to Canterbury NZ in 1865.John came out in 1861 aged 18.
Am willing to share information that I have with you.
Judy Pulley (nee Gow)
