presents:






Baby Nathalie and I are, quite literally, "Children of the Revolution" (American, that is)! Here's our beloved "Junior" visiting the memorial to our ancestor, Captain Israel Trow, who was a prominent officer during the Revolutionary War; the family plot is located in Hardwick, Massachusetts. Through Captain Trow's mother, Margaret Rogers, and his wife, Mary Clapp, we can even trace our ancestry straight back to two passengers on the Mayflower. When this page finishes construction, you'll be able to follow the fascinating lineage of the Trow family from which we are both descended; we welcome correspondence from fellow genealogists!

For the truly serious Trow genealogist, we present the following:

A large photo of the Trow monument at Hardwick, Worcester County, MA (formerly the background image for this page).

These links will take you to three views of Israel Trow Jr.'s gravestone in New Braintree, Worcester County, MA (also shown above). This was extremely difficult to locate! We are still trying to confirm death information about his widow, Hannah Makepeace Trow Winch. Please, please, please write if you have any clues about Hannah!
