Notes for this person
Elihu was a weaver, farmer and laborer. He owned a right to a saw milland a corn mill. From NHGR (7:175): "Elihu Dow was frequently in courtfor failure to pay debts, and for trespass when he apparently stolemarsh hay and thatch on two separate occasions on land belonging toothers....Though he and his wife and family were Quakers he seems tohave had his own ideas of right and wrong." The latter is exemplified by an attempt of the Quaker community to have Elihu agreethat playing the fiddle was wrong. He refused to acknowledge this andwas expelled from Meeting until he did make an acknowledgement, whichhe never did.
