Jacob Clower and wife, Anna He is found in old Dunmore Co., Va. (later formed into Shenandoah, Warren and Page Counties) in 1776 when “Jacob Klauer” was one of the purchasers of salt as distributed by Col Fielding Lewis under government regulations of the time, (Virginia Magazine, vol. 49, p. 347). He apparently married Anna before 1773. Jacob Clower is said to have been a German cabinet-maker, who came to America bringing 17 apprentices.
Jacob Clower and his wife, Anna, were in Franklin Co., Va. as early as 1786 as shown by two deeds executed by them, (Franklin Co., Va. Deed Book 1, pp. 123 and 127; see also “An Old Virginia Court”, First Court of Franklin County, Va., 1786-1789, by Marshall Wingfield, D.D. (1948), pp. 51 and 56).
Some of their children appear in neighboring Floyd Co., Va. and many descendants still live in that county. Some other descendants moved to Greene Co., Tenn. Where many of the Clower name are found in the 19th Century.
There is a fair amount of Clowers descendant info available at ancestry.com that I have not incorporated.2689 Clearly Elizabeth and Nancy could not have been born two months apart.
