See the notebook cover and earlier entries in Gallery 83.

20 photographs · 9 document groups

Photographed by Whit from the recovered Joseph Dow collection. Descriptions draw on visible names, dates and subjects; uncertain readings remain provisional. Reading copies are turned upright, and each image links to the unchanged full-resolution original.

JDT-D639 · Later numbered Dow households

The supplied sequence resumes at IMG_4497.jpeg and continues through later numbered Dow family entries. The pages include Gideon, Jeremiah, Daniel, Samuel, Joseph, John and other Dow households, with spouses, children and research annotations. Missing filename numbers are an unresolved intake gap, not proof of missing physical leaves.

JDT-D640 · Newbury records: John Dow and family notes

A heading identifies Newbury Records. The manuscript notes John Dow of Newtown and Elizabeth, with a marriage date and a list of children, followed by further family details. This is a handwritten extraction or compilation; the cited local record should be consulted before treating the copied dates as certified evidence.

JDT-D641 · Ipswich sources and Samuel Dow family notes

These pages bring together Ipswich and other source notes, including a parenthetical reference to Mr. Perley, extracts concerning Thomas and Mary Dow, and material headed From Saml D. Rindge. Different headings mark source changes within the same notebook. They are preserved together without assuming that every named Dow belongs to one household.

JDT-D642 · Copied family entries and parish-record extracts

Two pages continue births, marriages and deaths drawn from family and parish material. A visible heading cites Ipswich town records, and additional notes are inserted between the principal entries. Abbreviations and changes of source remain part of the manuscript evidence.

JDT-D643 · James J. Dow and the Newgate tradition

A short note names James J. Dow, superintendent of schools for the Blind at Faribault, Minnesota. It records a family tradition about an ancestor confined in Newgate prison before coming to America with two brothers. The wording presents a reported tradition; this photograph does not independently establish the imprisonment or migration story.

JDT-D644 · A reply from George W. Dow and Ebenezer Dow notes

A heading attributes information to George W. Dow of Newburyport in response to an inquiry. Family names and dates follow, with another page headed Ebenezer Dow and an accompanying parenthetical identification. The source headings matter because they distinguish supplied correspondence from the compiler’s own conclusions.

JDT-D645 · George and Sarah Dow: marriage and children

The page is headed with the marriage of George Dow and Sarah, followed by their children and later vital details. Brackets and indented lines organize the household. The exact readings of names and dates remain available in the full-resolution view.

JDT-D646 · Ipswich town clerk extracts: volumes II and III

Two pages explicitly cite Ipswich town records, including a note attributing an extract to Mr. Bamford, town clerk. Births, marriages and deaths are copied under volume headings. These source references are useful leads for checking the compiler’s readings against the town books.

JDT-D647 · Additional Dow family notes: reversed notebook views

The last two supplied photographs show genealogical entries upside down relative to the preceding sequence. Their reading copies have been turned upright while the originals remain unchanged. Short family groups, dates and annotations continue across the leaves; no missing connections have been supplied to complete them.

2 photographs

Collection photographs supplied by Whit. Descriptions are finding aids, not full transcriptions. Names, dates and associations remain provisional where the handwriting is uncertain.

Intake note: repeated attachments were consolidated by filename and checksum. All 140 distinct supplied photos are retained. No photos numbered IMG_4470–4471 or IMG_4492–4496 were supplied in this intake; those gaps remain unresolved.
