Notes - Ancestry.com member tree gives Elizabeth's parents' names as John Gow (1785- ) and Alison Gould (1785- ) and gives Elizabeth's birth as 1813. But this appears to be a confusion. Census records appear to show her birth as 1820-21 and her marriage in 1858 would fit better with an 1820ish birth than an 1813 birth.
John Gould Gow was born in 1786 so the John Gow reference would appear to be to THIS John Gow, not his father, and this John Gow would be the correct age to have a daughter in 1813. However this John Gow's MOTHER was Alison Gould, not his wife. It's highly unlikely that John's mother and wife had the same name. Thus the family tradition has probably confused mother and daughter-in-law. Elizabeth is therefore shown here with mother "unknown".
Census records appear to show that this couple had no children.
